Anyone have any suppressor cover recommendations that would be a good fit for the AEM5?

With that said- does anyone have the mil dot version of this hold over pictogram? How does the standard leupold mil dot reticle line up in relation to the TMR? Is it basically the big hashes? https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-uVjlV13PPBM/U9bvgdDhMBI/AAAAAAAAJmc/xNCNGhkx2r4/s800/28cfwxh.jpg Matty, you should just come out to one of the LR practice session at VCGHC and get your own data.

This may be my first contribution to this thread. I've been looking for years. This month I picked up a new lower and a WOA spr barrel. Don't worry, I know what I'm in for.
Maybe a Mod 1? http://www.armyrecognition.com/images/stories/news/2013/october/United%20_States_US_Navy%20SEALs_were_involved_in_counterterrorism_operation_in_Somalia_against_al-Shabaab_group_640_001.jpg |

Right. I just happened on that pic. Damned knights rail is giving me a hell of a time. I've been looking for months and I don't know how long I will wait to complete the upper before I get something else.

I follow this same philosophy, i wanted to start the build but read how hard the KAC rails are to get, so i put it in the "if i fild that part" bin and a KAC literally fell in my lap, i got it and now the build is on. The hardest part for me now is hoping that the AE cans are ready to ship before 41p happens

I was a big fan of MOE and MIAD grips, till I held a gun with an Ergo.
Pretty sure I'll be selling almost all of 'em (save on the lightweight, cause the MOE-K is ideal for that one) and replacing with Ergos. |

Though at that point, I'll have to draw the line - not that the Mk12 isn't cheap, but clones of MK11s, .300 win mags, and .338 rifles = some serious friggin $$$$$, not to mention the price of ammo. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how accurately they portray small arms in the film - especially, if they include any MK12s...

And the same guy trying to sell a M4A1 B2 upper for a "firm" price of $1800. None of those signals will help you sell your gear at all, let alone get inflated prices for it. You come off as anyone else trying to make money from the clone crowd who have demonstrated a willingness to pay top dollar for hard-to-find parts. The problem is that these parts aren't that hard to find with a little patience. People here are more informed (to varying degrees) than typical consumers and are going to dismiss your ad(s) out of hand. I think I speak for the clone community when I say that those prices are what they are (hell, it's your gear), but it's mildly insulting to complain about your gear not selling or getting offers in the clone threads (i.e., the very people you're trying to appeal to).

Let's see...'13er with low post count and no feedback offering a ridiculous price. And the same guy trying to sell a M4A1 B2 upper for a "firm" price of $1800. None of those signals will help you sell your gear at all, let alone get inflated prices for it. You come off as anyone else trying to make money from the clone crowd who have demonstrated a willingness to pay top dollar for hard-to-find parts. The problem is that these parts aren't that hard to find with a little patience. People here are more informed (to varying degrees) than typical consumers and are going to dismiss your ad(s) out of hand. I think I speak for the clone community when I say that those prices are what they are (hell, it's your gear), but it's mildly insulting to complain about your gear not selling or getting offers in the clone threads (i.e., the very people you're trying to appeal to).

I'll check the rules, but this is how I believe it works...
If anyone sees an add for something they know users will want or like, you are allowed to post link to items for sale. However, you are not supposed to use the tech forums to sell your own stuff. I'm sure it happens often enough, and for the most part, I doubt it's a big deal. This is no official position, but, you'll probably be noticed and warned a lot quicker when you're trying to take advantage than if you're helping a guy out. |

Don't forget..it's the salad days of buying AR parts. Nobody is going to want to spend more than retail right now. |

I believe it is OK to post that your selling something related. I.E.: "My boat tipped over and my Mk12 upper is in the EE "
As long as you aren't using the tech forum as a sale ad Pic thread
