Even better brother! I remember a while back readin about the BCM bein a spec replica of the one used on the c7. So I wasn't sure if this one was the "one". Know i now.
Eta- I can definitely say I've been lucky this month when it comes to good clone finds. |

Anyone ever see an Elcan SU-230B (1.5-6x, 5.56) on an M4 or any other non-scar rifle? I've got one of these scopes and would like to use it on an AR variant if it's clone correct.

I’m in the process of building an M4 SOPMOD. Can someone point me to the shortest A2 style flash hider I can order to be non-NFA compliant? I plan on sending the necessary parts to ADCO for pinning and welding.

Thanks for the quick responses. So just to be clear, I send ADCO a 14.5” socom barrel, a standard A2 flash hider, crush washer, request they add their spacer along with pin and weld service and I’m good to go?
