What do you guys think? I built this on an eagle arms lower from Quantico. Didn't get a chance to post befor the outage. - The stock is an ACE Ultralight. - I put in a rock river lower parts kit and I installed a 2 stage trigger when I built it. - The upper receiver an barrel are from J&T. Note the fluted bbl. It is a 16" 1/9 twist - MAD flip up BUIS and I have a Mepro21 mounted on there right now (because it was stiing in the closet) I might go aimpoint shopping or I might wait for the tri-power. - forarm is KAC RAS. - forward grip is olyarms (another thing laying around the house) - surfire G-2 on the other side (you can see the wire) with a pressure switch that was also just sitting in the closet in a box. - CQB Solutions SOP sling. - 'sling thing for dove tails' from GG&GAZ. This is my 3rd build for me personally and I've helped several other people come over to the dark side of the black rifle. My only regret is that I think I would have liked to have the flatop front gas block. |

GackMan, Nice looking rifle. The light you've got on it, that's a G2 Nitrolon (the plastic one) right? Do the pressure switch tail caps work on those just like any other Surefire? Might be a decent way to save a little cash. How well does the G2 hold up to recoil? Thanks Scott |

Quoted: GackMan, Nice looking rifle. The light you've got on it, that's a G2 Nitrolon (the plastic one) right? Do the pressure switch tail caps work on those just like any other Surefire? Might be a decent way to save a little cash. How well does the G2 hold up to recoil? The light works well so far. I haven’t had a chance to beat on it and test it and I don’t know if I’d want to bet my life on it as a tactical light. But, we shall see – I trust surefire’s products in general so my fingers are crossed that it continues to perform. I had it on another rifle before so the light has been on 2 rifles but for only a few hundred rounds total. I had been carrying the light but upgraded to the 6P and ended up with the G2 just collecting dust. The end cap with the wire and pressure switch was $25. The 6P has a standard pressure cap; It is interchangeable between the G2 and 6P. I used one of the first samco mounts to put it on there (about $20 IIRC). Looped the wire to the pressure pad through the bottom sling swivel - it worked out to be a bonus - keeps the wire out of the way and keeps the swivel from flopping around and I don't have to remove it. First time I shot it after 20 rounds or so the light would squirm out of the mound and dangle from the wire... I was a little hesitant to crank it down since both the mount and the light are plastic. So I'd tighten... then pound on it a little and see if it would move... tighten a little more. Seems to be solid now. So total - if you were buying the light new - for the mount, light, and pressure switch you'd be under $75. |

That RAS is awesome!!! I finished mine this weekend too. Ordered a Model-1 kit. RRA lower, 16" C.A.R. with SS barrel and a Fixed stock. Went from this.

I just put them on last week. I paid too much for them, but I wanted to show interest in ar parts at the local shop. So far they seem alright, REAL tight fit, I am actualy wondering if/how they are gonna come off. The seems are pretty good, just a little gap at one end. Armalite has a new aluminum two piece set, like the Fobus. I wasn't sure if they were car or mid length, and they were more costly, so. Over all I'd say they are a good alternative to removeing the fake brake. Tell em to check http://www.botachtactical.com/fisamhase.html for a great price, although I've never heard of this site. |

I have a G2 I wanted to make my weapon light. I have the weaver ring mount, and a custom front sight mount I made. All I needed was a tape switch with a 6" length that was affordable. Seemed everywhere I looked, the Surefire tape switch optional tailcap for a 6P was $75! That's more than 2X the darn light. Gack, where'd you get your $20 tape switch tail cap from for a G2? Anyone? Thanks. |
