I find it irritating that the 99051 doesn't mount flush to the front.
I'm using a fixed DD front  [/url]

I finally shot my Black Friday URG-I upper today. Ran like a champ, Wolf Gold un-surpressed ejected at 4 o’clock with sold bolt hold opens. Makes me think it’s well gassed for back and forth between suppressed and un-suppressed, but I won’t know for sure until mine gets out of jail.
We were out with friends (shh, don’t tell) so I didn’t have a chance to sight it in or do an accuracy test, but it did seem like a smooth shooter |

Thanks @BurtSaun1049 for posting that for me... my regular image hosting site was down for a couple days there.. Ya temporarily a C Socom Bbl... I’m in the hunt to replace it with a dd mid ASAP though. I got the MK16 and the g33 in the mail last week and couldn’t wait to build it. anybody has a spare DD Middy up for sale/barter hit me up(if it has a pinned 4p we can work something out).. . since the ranges are on lockdown this Socom has 0 rounds(as of today anyway ) I usually have a C gov profile or two floating around too. I picked up a Mueller upper on EE the other day that I’ll swap out too, that way I can use the Colt Cerro for another build down the road. |

But thats subjective to me. The ATACR feels like it belongs on a crew served weapon when you put it next to the nx8 but the reticle is a lot more useful at higher magnification on the atacr. People complain about the eye box on the nx8 but usually those people want red dot performance on a lpvo which isnt going to happen. I love the size and weight of the nx8. Not my pic just one from the web but here is a atacr vs nx8 and one of the older 1-4-  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Conner378: People complain about the eye box on the nx8 but usually those people want red dot performance on a lpvo which isnt going to happen. I love the size and weight of the nx8. Same. Sure, coming from a Razor II or Kahles, the NX-8 isn't as 'forgiving', but it's an easy optic to get and stay behind. But if you have been running a Razor II and are used to just throwing the optic up near your face, that sloppy technique will need to be corrected to get the same speed with an NX8. To me the NX-8 is a great package for a 14.5-16" AR - like all things firearms related, it's a continuing series of "what I want to do" coupled with "trade offs". |

More questions that hopefully somebody knows the answers to...
What are the specific models and reticles being issued to the .gov for the SIG Tango6 and Nightforce ATACR 1-8? (these are the two LPVOs that recently won contracts, right?) And do they/will they offer the same .gov models to the civilian market? Or are they already? Been out of the loop for a while, so I'm trying to catch up. |

He also said that they will not be released, in FDE, until the bean counters see a demand from their commercial sales people. He recommended writing/emailing their commercial sales dept to help the process along. |

NF doesn't have to use that shtick to sell product and I wouldn't be surprised if they make more money on the commercial side than they do on the .mil side. The guy I talked to said that most of the FDE ATACRs would end up painted anyways. |
