Maybe this will help.

It's wide, but not really wider than anything else out there besides an Aimpoint T1/H1.

Well, finally pulled the trigger on a 14.5" BCM SOCOM upper and other bits. Looks like my PR build is in full swing.

I like how you can see the progression of wear on the buttstock from pic to pic.

Specifically t-1 micro vs exps3-0. I know the eotech is more clone kosher but I am worried about it being too wide and bulky. Ive never used either sight. What are y'alls thoughts?


Having owned both I can tell you which one I still own and which one I do not own any longer.  I still have the T1.  If you asked me which one I prefered I'd say the Exps3-0 in terms of actually using it - the bigger window and the reticle are nice.  However, the battery life, the durability, and the practicality paired with my own money being invested led me to keep the T1.  In terms of clone correct - if that's what you want then go with an EO as it is much more common than a T1.  

Having used the T1 for awhile and shooting a few carbine matches with it I really like how quickly and easily it is to change the brightness with the rheostat as opposed to hitting buttons multiple times for up and down as well.

If I could build the perfect red-dot/holo it would be an Eotech reticle and window paired with 50,000 hour battery life, always on, and a rheostat to crank the brightness up and down.  

My final closing thoughts are this:  The T1 is 'there'.  It is what it should be in terms of battery life, durability, and usability.  I could use a T1 for the next decade and I wouldn't assume that there would be any major changes in the platform.

On the other hand what gets me excited about Eotech's is that they are not the perfect platform and I await to see some significant improvements over the next decade.  The platform can benefit greatly from increase of technology.. more efficient electronics and better batteries.  I'd say own a T1 now, and keep an eye on how EO's progress in the future.  





Thanks! Do you or anyone else find the eotech to be wide for the ar15?


Doesn't feel or look wide on a rifle with a quad rail.  Does feel and look wide on a rifle with a newer KMR or NSR rail.

Gen 1 looks nothing like Gen 2 or 3. Gen 3 has rounded sides, Gen 2 is squarish.

Here's what I suppose is a half-hearted contribution. This was assembled from a Colt Socom II upper I bought back before what I knew what a Block II carbine was, so that's why it's a black Ris II. I just happened to have the ACOG and stock sitting around so I figured I'd make an attempt.


Since this is getting a bit too far from spec I am working on a more correct Block II gun with a standard Ris II. So far I have a good plan on what I will do where, but I can't decide on an optic. More than likely, I'll go with a tan EXPS3-0, but I have been tempted to go with another TA01NSN and slap a Docter sight on it. Opinions?

I like the FSP, I'd paint it and call it good. ACOG is nice on there as well, I prefer to have some magnification, either a scope or RDS with magnifier.

Not trying to be rude but you'll be lucky to fetch $2 g's in this market. The market is saturated with parts and in my own experience no one is paying anywhere near retail. You'd be much better off parting it out. Best of luck

That's why if someone wants to make an offer, they're more than open to such a thing.   Block II is a fun setup, but daaayyyum, prices add up quickly!  My focus now is factory rifles and continuing training.  While I know my shit, it's time consuming and spendy.  Figure I'll likely remove the optic(s) then price it lower and sell those separately.  In the mean time, I can leave it up for a weekend.

The plastic container, dual switch connections are correct, color of polymer is correct, rail grabber on light is tan & not black, operators manual is correct. Take a look at an Airsoft offering on eBay & you can determine the difference. To their credit (I know) most of the Airsoft pushers; especially from China or elsewhere in the vicinity will advertise their wares as such from the beginning.

It's the internet, you take your chances whether it's ebay, the EE, Armslist, whatever.

If you want a "correct" light that works better, just get a Surefire Scout model LED light... for less.

I believe those were DD M4 FSP rails and YHM flip-up gas blocks.



Either way, it would cease to be BlockII anymore.

the NT4 is QD.  Mfg name is QDSS-NT4.  They do have newer suppressors that are QDC which look a good bit different.
