The Lan-Cay cie ceased its activities at the death of its owner in 2011.
Lan-Cay cie was making very good material.
Ontario with the OKC-3S, and now, Tri-Technologies with the 06MA8 also produce very good bayonets.
From an aesthetic point of view, M9 PHROBIS are the most beautiful.

LOL. You got a lot nicer stuff than I do to slap on yours though.

I could probably learn to like an ACOG if I had one.

But I'm there with you. I try to embrace the new stuff, but............ Well here's the deal, I've got this friend who let me join his family one deer season. Great guy. His Dad is a WWII vet, and not just some paper pusher if you know what I mean (battle of the bulge survivor). He was old, and still hunted with an iron sighted Winchester lever gun in .32. You really think he's going to go to his grave thinking, damn I wish I had a red dot on my carbine? Now maybe if he was fighting the Germans now he'd take an Aimpoint, I don't know. But all I know is some simple stuff just works. I shot more deer with irons than I did a scope. Not to say I wouldn't have with an RDS, but there were times where the irons worked just fine, and didn't fog up in the process.

Anyways....... I'll probably get a tongue lashing for that rant......

Built my wife another AR today.

Lower Anderson (she likes horses)
Colt 14.5" SOCOM w/ F FSB
Extended A2 FH
Surefire M73 rail (had a KAC RAS but too fat for her, she liked the Surefire, got the M73 when in Iraq 04' from 5th SFGA)
Spikes LPK w/grip
Waffle stock
H2 buffer
Mil Spec receiver extension
Matech BUIS
FN BCG
Mil Spec charging handle

This was close to what I carried in early 04' in Iraq with 5th SFGA, so consider block I (don't have a KAC 300m anymore). Still need to put on the side sling swivel for her.

This is my first modern clone, so i have a couple questions.

-My ACOG came with the Larue RCO LT681 mount. Are these correct to use, or is there another QD mount that is correct.

-I am a lefty, are there any AMBI safety selectors that are correct for Block I clones?

-Anything else i should change please let me know, i am a Retro guy, and all the accessory choices on these modern clones overwhelms me lol.

God, I finished mine about a month ago... and have reconfigured it twice, moved the PEQ-2 over to the MK18, and just watched a few scenes from Sicario and am entertaining the idea of snagging an Eotech 553 to swap in and out with the ACOG... I swear I'm never quite "done" when I say I am, although I am getting pretty close I hope... or at least my wallet does...

What mount is the T-1 on? Larue?

View Quote

The one up close kind of looks like ~~KAC QD~~ the one in the background looks more Larue. Any idea on what light that is? I'm guessing M600?

ETA: Mount question answered. Also is this setup considered a basic issue M4 or a SF Block 1 (1.5?) build?

What it boils down to is that they fear an effective resistance to their power: So, Left in power=Guns bad, mmmmkay...?, Right in power=Guns good!-thskirk

It's mostly a Block 1.5 I believe, the Aimpoint is the only thing throwing it off. An M4A1 would have a Matech rear I believe.
