Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By hfrog355: I love the idea of the LAW folder, but after trying it, I determined it's just not my thing. I'm not a person who has much of a need to store a rifle in that manner though. Didn't like the NX8, hardly at all. I like the size and the weight, but couldn't get comfortable (admittedly in a short time frame) behind the glass, especially when you dial it up. Just not my cup of tea. Rifle looks bad ass though. RMR on top of glass sitting in a 1.93" mount is pretty high up there. How's the height of that compare to something like the Unity mounts? As far as the RMR height it is very comparable to the Unity FAST mount height for sure, moving it back to the rear made a huge difference on speed and ease of picking up the dot for me. I run a set of standards and I have no issues hitting time and accuracy with the RMR mounted how it is. I usually run it with the NX8 on 1x (if I dial power I have to do so with in the time constraint of the stage) and I run it with just the RMR). I can run the NX8 just as fast and well as a T1 on a 1.93" mount and the magnification really in range stuff is only used at 50 depending (I'll dial up to like 4 again part of the time portion not prior to), where it shines for me is PID and high value shots in close proximity type deals (Ala Chuck Pressburg's spiel on LPVO's) and the trade off of having a good reticle/daytime illumination a very good 1x etc. is fine for a tight 8x eye box for me. |

@wyoak41 Nice guns Brother. Thanks for posting em up. I just got an off the beaten path Firearm Type of Weapon Myself, a Desert Tech MDR. It has proven to be extremely reliably over the past 500 rounds. I guess I would call it My GoTo .308 at this point...It's interesting you are running an ACOG on Your Bullpup. After shooting with the Accupoint for a bit, I have decided to mount an ACOG on this rig, most likely it's going to be a TA11-E or E-G, for the increased eye relief. Hopefully I can find an E-G as I have come to really appreciate the green post type reticles offered by Trijicon. I have found this simple Green Triangle Post reticle to be of the fastest LPVO Reticles in My arsenal of optics and imagine it will be just as fast in an LPFO. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/484978/20200210_132012-1271197.jpg |

- 16" Mid-length (1/7 chromed) smoother recoil than Carbine IMHO
- 20" Rifle if you have some mountain sh*t going on. - Full length RIS to shroud barrel. w/basic flashlight ( don't need 1000 lumen, you need battery life.) - Full-stock for space because 1) I'm a long arm'ed guy. 2) Less to F*K with. - 5.56 for ammo because I don't fall for the "wildcat of the week" game magazines push. - 62-75GR ammo, usually 62. KISS, Accurate, Durable, etc. Does everything you ask it. Recommend Eotech for CQB majority and aim point for mixed engagement. F the short barrel fad. They are always the ones for sale, notice? It's what I'd do. |

@heavytank2 Yeah, I'm not a fan of 16" anymore. I'm 18'' SPR Profile for LR or 14-5 RECCE. 11-5 for Night Vision and 10-3 Suppressed for mobile search and assault. I completely agree on the Mid Length Gassed Barrel, Carbine I believe has proven a thing of the past or, at the very least an unnecessary decrease in Dwelltime. Mid Length has proven itself reliable and certainly provides a more manageable muzzle. One could argue Mid Length more reliable than Carbine due to the decrease in dwelltime If I have to grab One, 14-5 daytime - 11-5 nighttime. I'd probably grab the 14-5 and pack the 11-5 Upper realistically. I have yet to acquire an AMBI KAC Lower. On my way out the door Id throw the KAC 14-5 Mod 2 E3 on an LMT AMBI Lower and Pack the 11-5 Upper and JP SCS and just swap Buffers  
I guess I'd have to install SF Warcomps on both to accept my Can as well... |

It's very hard to beat a 14.5 middy for smoothness. I have a 14.5 pinned middy in an Aero builders kit with an A2 stock. Easily one of the smoothest AR's I've ever shot. I have yet to have a failure on it and I run all kinds of filthy ammo through that little whore. Steel case...lacquer coated, brass, whatever. I have yet to clean it....at 1000 or so rounds now? Spray in some CLP and wipe it down.

So refernce the 1.93" mount with LPVO. I have no issues with it even shooting at 8x in a prone position but I also have a long neck etc. I would want at least a 1.70" height mount for several reasons but again a lot of that is personal and what works for me.

I just don't ever actually need more that 4x for anything under 300 when going for any type of speed shooting. I have a few 1-8's and have found them best suited for Mid range shooting on AR-10's and things like that. I am even having a hard time getting used to my RAZOR(which I only bought because I received a 20% off coupon from Geissele when I bought my URG-i Complete, I figured at $1,119.20 for the Razor and Geissele SOCOM Mount I had to buy one, that and a Comp M5 w/ mount for $657.60). I have just found I am much faster with 1x Optics and with the more I train, the farther I can successfully shoot 1x. The only LPVO I can even compare in speed is My Green Triangle Post Accupoint 1-4. Prone I'm very accurate at 400, pretty good at 500, deadly under 350. For me, the higher mounts are all about fast shooting or night shooting, anything over 4x has never seemed to do anything but make me shoot worse in those two classes of shooting. I wish I was faster with an 8x, but I suppose my hands just are not steady enough. For a GoTo setup(daytime, nighttime, fast, prone, hunting, Force on Force) the Triangle Post 1-4 provides the best all around results for Me. Maybe I will give a 1.93 mount a try on the 1-4. A taller heads up stance dose suit me better in most cases... It's certainly better when I'm wearing an NV Monocular. |

I have no experience with the two cans you mentioned, but i do have the 5" short thunderbeast 30cal can, and 3 of their 9" long ones, plus a few other 223 and pistol cans. short cans are louder, no doubt. and my subjective comparison is appreciably shy of authoritative. that said, my guess is it would be indistinguishable from a narrow 5" can. but the important point is it's much quieter than say, a 14" bare muzzle. and way way quieter than a 10" barrel, which are obnoxiously loud. It's not ear safe, but to my ears it's less than a 22lr pistol. that one stays next to the bed. if i had to shoot it indoors i wouldn't enjoy it but wouldn't totally lose my hearing. one other point of interest, for which i have an opinion but no data, is that the doesn't affect the action of the gun as much as my 9" traditional suppressors. i.e. not as much overgassing. when combined with the S setting on the noveske switchblock and the extra reciprocating weight of the LAW folder (added a few years ago before that pic was taken) it's really a smooth shooting gun. weight might have something to do with it too as it's quite heavy i would definitely buy one again. |

What year is this? So, I just bought an MDR, I know, totally different animal than what we are talking about here, but. I have an Accupower 1-8 mounted on t now and it is just a bit too big and just does not feel right, sort of hard to shoot. This being my first Bullpup, I understand it's going to require a lot of training to get used to the platform itself. Either way, I have been thinking an Elcan 1x 4x would be much better for the MDR, mainly due to the length of the Elcan and the fact that I don't think the MDR Platform benefits much from anything above 4x or 5x |

I think I’m done with this one except maybe an ambi safety.
This does my close up and distance. The malkoff upgraded head has the scout easily identifying targets out to distance. I’m very happy how this turned out. |

Truth be told, I've been looking/contemplating at the Steyer AUG for sometime...something about the BP design.

@The-Ant1-Liberal
eah, The Bullpup is a very different animal. It's going to take me a lot of getting used to. I bought it for hunting. Going to need to work on the trigger. The MDR has a pretty good trigger for a Bull Pup from my understanding, and it still sucks. Going to polish the Trigger Bars and we'll see. I hear Desert Tech has a different trigger for the new MDRx and will most likely be up for purchase or DT will offer it as an in house replacment option. I have started to get used to the current stock trigger, but having a 1/2'' long 6lbs trigger pull has been hard for a Geissele Trigger Fan like me to get used to. All that being said, The MDR is supposed to have a much better trigger than the Styr AUG Trigger, so it might be really bad... I think after 1000 rounds or so I'll have this MDR/Bullpup thing figured out. I have been doing ok out to 150. Of course prone out to 500 is not an issue, but One usually does not find Ones Self Prone while hunting Whitetail Deer in the woods of Maine. I also need to tame the muzzle rise, so once I get a decent MD on it I believe it will be much more shooter friendly. As for Recoil, that is very light. |

It's very hard to beat a 14.5 middy for smoothness. I have a 14.5 pinned middy in an Aero builders kit with an A2 stock. Easily one of the smoothest AR's I've ever shot. I have yet to have a failure on it and I run all kinds of filthy ammo through that little whore. Steel case...lacquer coated, brass, whatever. I have yet to clean it....at 1000 or so rounds now? Spray in some CLP and wipe it down. |

And here is My RECCE Setup again. KAC 14-5 Mod 2 E3 Sandcutter URX4. I had put the lower together with whatever I had. This is the finished product...at least until I buy a Full Ambi KAC Lower and receive My M600DF from BDU. I should add, I'm really digging these Geissele Dog-Leg Selector Switches. Probably my new favorite SS

Since you said rifles other than AR's were okay, heres my Tavor. This is my "go to" right now. Aimpoint T2 on a Geissele lower 1/3 mount, MI handguard and a Streamlight. This rifle is just super compact and balances really well, while maintaining a 16" barrel and still being a rifle. I'm going to drop a G trigger in it at some point and spray the whole thing with coyote Aervoe.
 Attached FileMy favorite AR for right now since we are in the AR forum. The Razor and mount will eventually go back on another rifle, but for right now I don't have another LPVO and I'm having too much fun playing with this set up.  Attached File |
