Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By splbass17: If your a cloner, maybe wait to see which one is adopted by the gov... chance they both won't be, also chance they will eventually but we don't know yet. From what I read here, maybe I'm wrong, I'm seeing talk about laser MOA shifts on the 14.5 being put on hold and the 10.3 not even being close to adopting. 300 blk is ideal for an SBR round and suppressed, so I wouldn't personally keep a 5.56 and 300 blk shorty. I'd personally go 14.5 URGI RECCE role with a 1-6 and 9 inch 300 BLK CQB role. p.s. I used to have the AAC 300 BLK complete rifle, it was so damn nice. You can buy just the upper, they have a Knights rail. |

Easy but not instantaneous. You sign it, scan and email to SF with your contact info in the email. Then they call you back at their convenience. For me, it was right at the end of everyone else getting their uppers and it took a few days for them to call on the suppressor, and another few days later for the light. Then, it took a few weeks for the suppressor to ship and another few weeks for the light. @Mr_Smiley Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BMWBIKR:

Why does anyone buy anything from Optics Planet? They have horrible CS and their shipping is not much better. Don't get me started on their pricing/sales. There are far better places to get things than from there. Especially if you know where and how to look.
Also, you aren't going to find the lights the are available with the Golden Ticket at very many retailers, so buying direct from SF is best. 30% is a pretty good deal for either the RC or one of the Scout lights. Yes it is off of retail, but SF does not allow their dealers to sell below MAP very often and especially on what the Golden Ticket offers. |

Ill second the F optics planet. Best case scenario they drop ship your order and it takes weeks to ship. Worst case scenario they make you wait months then cancel your order unexpectedly. Or cancel your order because you used a coupon.

Optics planet won't even ship flash hiders or uppers with flash hiders on them to California. (they aren't even illegal here btw).
I've read about that ITAR bs for night sights! The only thing you can count on is that they probably won't rip you off, but they sure do make PSA look like Amazon Prime. It's amazing how fast a 12% discount causes people to lose their constitution. Pic thread.

I got the 10.3" URGI, no NSN on the rail or the CH so I'm a bit disappointed, but I gotta say this Mk16 tube feels great in the hand. This might beat out the URX3 as my favorite rail.
Makes me regret not getting one to replace a Mk8 when I had the chance. |
