Scope Mount..... Samson MFG DMR mount
As far as Samson rails/forfends used down range yes, mainly for same reason 3 Gunners like them Some Assaulters prefer Narrower grip on rifle. The classic quad rail too large. From down range.......

@Stukas - Thanks for the advice on the doctor, way easier to pick up rear mounted. I didn't ditch the buis yet bc I'm probably gonna shoot irons for a while until I figure out an optic....im liking the variable power optic idea.

I don't have any urge to make clones, seeing how I always changed as much as I could on my work guns adapting them to what I thought was the best combat set-up. So with my personal guns its all about shoot ability. |

So less need for guys to custom their rifles. |

@Stukas- Did you ever get a chance do compare a 2.5-10x24 nf against the vcog or even a razor hd against the vcog? I'm liking the idea of variable power and I'm thinking about holding out and just dropping the cash on a good optic when I can. I was wondering if you had any opinions on which was the best all around for the platform or if it was more a personal preference/cost thing....

I was wondering if you had any opinions on which was the best all around for the platform or if it was more a personal preference/cost thing.... I always thought 10power was overkill for 5.56. The SPR (MK12) came with a ?-10power scope. 5.56 past 750m pretty dismal no matter what ammo. So My thought is to be able hit 500-650max. Running a 1x6 just makes it easier to do over the Elcan. For the record my next optic Im looking to purchase is the Burris XTR II 1-5 with BDC. I'm using the VCOG for 3gun. Was thinking of the Vortex Razor (top selling scope for 3gun) But I have found 6 power a little overkill for what is needed for the matches where I live. So to save money Burris looks good. VCOG will go back on my 308. |

I own around 20 among AR15s and older ones (WWI, WWII etc.) and they are all, rigorously classic ones. |

Any idea what vfg fits the insight single tape switch used on the m3x? Or could I go with a tango down panel with tape switch cut out?
Anyone have a incan bulb for the m3x they would be willing to part with, maybe after a led upgrade? |

Block II Clones I think almost anything goes now. The basics, colt with RIS II and dress it out how you want it. After these things get to unit level (jsoc SF etc) they do what they want.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By veeklog:
Just an FYI on those that made 80% lowers then had them engraved for clone correct looks. In October I was able to send the completed lower to a reputable anodizer with a FFL 07 license to complete the process so I could finish my lower. A few days ago I was E-mailed by the anodizer telling me that during a routine inspection by the ATF, the ATF Auditor pulled mine and other lowers like mine aside for further review and asked the anodizer not to work on them until ATF made a determination. Today I was told by the anodizer that ATF picked up mine and the other lowers because the issue in question has to do with the engraving of the auto sear holes. According to the ATF rules in question, marking the location of the sear hole can be considered a Machine Gun; ATF would send out a determination later. I don't get it since I had no intention or the parts to make a full auto, and had not drilled into the lower to install a sear. Guess I will have to call the Inspector tomorrow and find out what the problem is; I have never heard of this, nor have I ever heard that engraving makes a machine gun. Most reputable engravers will not mark a 80% receiver with a COLT trade mark! At least not openly?? Also if ATF went to trace the rifle and called Colt for the trace it would create a nightmare for Colt. Clearly laid out for third pin.  Attached File Attached File |

ETA now that I think about it competitors prob isn't the right word since the ECOS ACOGs come with Docters. But just saying if they're owned by Trijicon I wasn't aware. Not trying to come off as an ass hat in case I am, just actually 100 percent curious. |

I think ITW pictures are always cool to see but I think the clone thread should be about building rifles with the correct SOPMOD issued parts. Tracking down those hard to find issued parts is what really got me involved in it. It cost me more money than I ever thought I would spend on an AR but I enjoyed it. I do enjoy ITW pictures and appreciate all those that served our country but sometimes the thread drifts pretty far away from what got me into clones. Ymmv
