LMAO. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
So EoTech is discontinuing the 553 because it's a superior optic to what they're replacing it with? And I don't know what I'm talking about because I made out a fuzzy light in a picture for part of a muzzle device? I wasn't the only one who saw it that way. And by all means, consider the claims of Magpul, Travis Haley, and Kevin Boland bogus. If those three stand behind the claim that an SR-15 went 80k rounds with the same barrel and bolt, that's more than enough for me. Where does your vast experience and knowledge come from? I own and have owned over 4 dozen AR platform rifles from a variety of all of the who's who manufacturers. I own and have owned most of the most spoken about optics and accessories. I have regularly used all of this equipment, and regularly run it through carbine and precision courses. I've made personal opinions based off a combination of personal experience, and the experiences I see, hear, and read about from others. You on the other hand? Well... What exactly have you done to acquire all of your knowledge for these topics that you act like you're an expert on? Frankly, you not only act like the most immature individual to frequent the clone threads, but you also don't seem to know a damn thing about anything you're talking about other than when you're parroting something that you've heard from somebody else who actually does know what they're talking about. And yes, I'm ready for you to make your typical "let's handle this in person" comments. It's wild how many guys I've seen you make those types of comments towards. I've never seen anyone else do it. Most people understand this is an online forum, and acting like you're gonna "take care of" a constructive argument in person with violence is surely for someone who isn't quite of the highest maturity. |

How has Lawguns not been held accountable for selling these as legit to consumers? |

Law guns was not the only vendor selling them. Basically the consensus as I understood it was that what most likely happened was that someone in the mil was supposed to send them to be destroyed but they were sold as surplus instead. The people at eotech were confiscating anything that was originally sold to the mil regardless or wether it was possibly surplused and sold through a vendor or not.

That's too bad. I'm kind of disappointed with them now. Sig guys swear by them, and their work is good. But they say on their website that they have the DD FDE. After many Krylon jobs, I'm still not keen on painting nicer, high end items. But that DD RIS II is a rail I lust after, and a 14.5" clone would be a good do all rifle... And I thought the Geissele MK2 rail was some coin.

I'm not saying it's the most rugged optic ever made, just that it's the most rugged EOTech made in my opinion. I haven't had any of my EOTech's fail on me to be fair though (that includes an EXPS) The last thing I'm going to do is get in an argument about this, but my opinion stands. Normally, people would be jumping all over an optic that was as widely issued, abused and tested as the SU-231/553. No point in arguing; unfounded or otherwise, those who don't like EOTechs will probably never change their minds. This isn't an Aimpoint vs EoTech thing. EoTech isn't discontinuing and no longer fielding the 553 in favor of the EXPS3-0 because the 553 is a more rugged and superior optic. I'm sure even plenty of EoTech fans would agree with that. I never said it was an EO vs. Aimpoint thing...you said that. I was just pointing out that the EOTech is very widely issued in the U.S. military and that if there actually were problems of the magnitude cited/quoted on the internet they would have been discovered. The 213A has nothing to do with it. The 553 sux argument has been going on since before the 231A even existed. |

He has done them for some other friends of mine, his work is top notch as long as he doesn't drink the beer first! :) I basically did this on my MK18 I got tired of clinking on a thread to find the Rail sold. I bought a DD MK18 FDE Upper 900.00 COLT SOCOM II W/FSP 1200.00 Put them together and sold off the additional parts then added some.

For some reason I need to see the face of the target and the gun moves up a tiny bit as I try to illuminate the face. Instead of completely breaking that habit, I just moved my light up and well forward of where it was located. Forward turned out to be more helpful than upward. The net effect was, I could see the face and the hands of my target. Just food for thought. |

Numrich had a bunch of original USGI new in the paper wrapping, year marked 1966 tear drops but all you damn cloners bought them up. I'm told the ones they offer now might be DPMS as they no longer say "Original USGI". I did not know BM was selling one. The DPMS units have horrid fit and finish to them. They look like someone finished them with a cut off wheel.

As long as its made out of the correct alloy to match mil-spec and fit and finish is good, then who made the forward assist isn't so much a problem for me, as long as it fits the mil-spec and is in spec machining-wise. |

I've only seen it in this thread, but for the first (I think 3) posts of a new page, the thread will only show the last full page as being the last page. We're currently on page 982, however, in my "subscribed thread" section, when there was only one post on this page, it would still only show as there being 981 pages in the thread. You then have to manually change the page number in the URL to get to page 982. The glitch usually fixes itself after the first 3 posts on a new page. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RJeff21:

Not mine but there is a DD RIS II FSP that looks damn near new in the EE for $350.00 dollars
Guy also has some KAC N4 flash hiders, KAC RAS rail and a boat load of B5 Gen 1 stock in black and specifically says they are NOT from the bad batch. |

So after all of going back and forth between that PSA Premium FN stamped barrel and a COLT SOCOM, I decided to just go with a DD CHF 1/7 barrel. I ended up scoring a used DD barrel that the seller claims to have only 60 rounds threw it here on ARFCOM. Includes the DD low profile gas block and BCM MOD 0 compensator. Hell those comps are $80.00 and the DD gas block is what, $60.00 on it's own? Got everything for $275.00. Just the barrels run that much
I'm just going to do a Noveske / Daniel Defense BLOCK II mutt build. I don't care if it's kosher anymore. It will be close enough. Maybe had I been able to get a COLT M4-A1 SOCOM II lower I would have cared more but I wasn't shelling out that kind of money for a roll mark. Ended up going with a Noveske Gen 1 non-Chainsaw lower with a full DD LPK, DD buffer tube assemble, BCM grip in black and a LMT Gen 1 in black. For the upper I went with the DD RIS II FDE rail, Noveske Gen 1 non-Chainsaw upper, DD CHF 1/7, DD BCG and I'm going to finish i off with a newer style BCM charging handle. I've already got a KAC Micro for the rear so I may pickup a Taupe sight if I can find one for a decent price and I'll be running a EXPS3.0-TAN and G33-TAN. Sounds good enough to me. OH and somewhere I have a Surefire Scout 600 on a Gear Sector mount but I have no idea where. I think I used it on my ski boat last year as a spot light. I'll have to go check one of the storage lockers. |

However I had not actually clicked on the ad for the sight to see that you select your color. They used to have them as separate items. Looks like they re-did their site. Thanks! Side note, which one of you scored the RIS II FSP I posted a link to lastnight? :) |

I'll be tossing it on one of my Block IIs. Just looks right on a Block II IMO. Good timing as well, as it will free up the VCOG currently on that Block II for my KAC Mod 2 that should also be arriving this week as well. Have a good chunk of my tax return spent before it's even made its way to my checking account. Now to explain to the wife how over half our tax return went towards a TA01-ECOS and Mod 2. Fortunately, she's long been very accepting of my BRD.
