Or M600U

Just put an HL Long gun kit on my "cqbr" Didn't post it in here because of the poh-lease. They re-vamped the plug in the back of the unit and the insight plug that used to work isnt long enough anymore. The interface is the same as the M3X long gun model, but they changed the plug and receptacle. This was the biggest issue I've had so far with it. I'm debating on cutting and splicing my dual switch to make it work. Or if anyone here wants to undertake that job, let me know and I'll send the light and switch out to you for some mod. |

I tried two bolt carriers in it also. My Spikes BCG is older with maybe 3K rounds and was cleaned and oiled. I also tried my rainer arms match nickel boron BCG I had in a 18" upper I sold. The Rainer Arms had only been shot a few times. Both BCGs worked in my 16" BCM carbine right before I tried shooting my CQBR clone. I spoke with Robert over at Micro MOA about the govnah I have no it so Im going to trouble shoot the gas block first. Hopefully I won't need a new bolt. Thanks for the heads up on your problem. I'll make sure to keep it in mind if I continue to have more problems! |

In fact, I've never seen anyone with any kind of proof. Some guy in GD said his uncle told him that six of his Eotechs were all off zero when he took them all out to shoot. But it was second hand info and sounded like BS to me. I left mine out in 33f coming from 72f inside. No shift apparent whatsoever. I think it's just confirmation bias. Now that the notice went out, suddenly people start to have the problem, yet zero reports before hand. Battery problems and delam problems, sure. But I've never seen a single report of zero loss before that notice went public. |

^Yeah, reticle dimming was the only issue I ever had, and it was only with ONE EOTech. And EOTech fixed it immediately, for free and without question, even though my unit was out of warranty. Of course I had a very small sample size, so my experience isn't statistically important.

CD Good to hear, I always wondered if the people making these claims have zero knowledge of ballistics. if you zero in 100 degree weather and go shooting in -10 degree weather your zero is going to be way off because of the velocity drop from temperature. Are they saying if you zero in 100 degree weather then the sight goes in -10 degree weather then back to 100 the zero will be off in the same weather it was zeroed? Sorry to go off topic...

Stick with the XPS or hunt for a 552. Just fucking around in the house it seems like putting a 552 or XPS on a LT110 would have retarded offset. Thoughts?

Started my first CQBR build today. Going to be a budget rifle, got an anderson upper and lower, stoner barrel and cheap ebay handguard. It won"t be nearly as nice as some of the ones you guys have, but its my first and it will be a blast. Any advice for a CQBR virgin?

Well, it'll have to have page 1 stuff to be a CQBR, not just a 10.3" barrel. |

The battery compartment is kinda fudged, but it works. I was going to send it back to L3 to get a refund though. http://<a href=https://farm1.staticflickr.com/724/23273891880_c693e8b39c_h.jpg</a>" /> Is that tape HSLD?  I literally LOL'ed. I wanted a pair of gloves that had no fingers for dexterity. Then when I cut them, they started to fray. Started off as electrical tape, but that shit get's all gooey when it gets warm, so it ended up as duct tape. Still isn't the best. I've got two sets, so it's all good.

Hmm I think I fucked up selling my Colt M4A1 Carbine lower! I posted it for $650 and it sat on here two months before I sold it for like $550.00 shipped, started some of those 80% lowers but now I just don't have the time. Went to buy another M4A1 lower and I can't seem to touch one for less than $1000.00 dollars.
For that price I might just go with a full Colt M4 Carbine OEM, take the lower and part the upper. |

Yeah I kinda choked on my spit when I saw that ad in the EE. Didn't realize they were getting that high

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eyekahn:
Good to hear, I always wondered if the people making these claims have zero knowledge of ballistics. if you zero in 100 degree weather and go shooting in -10 degree weather your zero is going to be way off because of the velocity drop from temperature. Are they saying if you zero in 100 degree weather then the sight goes in -10 degree weather then back to 100 the zero will be off in the same weather it was zeroed? Sorry to go off topic... 1. The issue is reportedly that the unit would not return to zero even if returned to the temperature at which it was originally zeroed (so permanent shift). 2. I have never heard of anyone experiencing the issue IRL. Granted, we shoot (and re-zero if necessary) frequently but never IME by very much...one time it's a click or two in one direction, the next it's a click or two in what is just as likely to be the opposite direction. 3. Our armorer section has yet to receive any official word of a problem. |

I just got super lucky and snagged a Remington Defense R4... Know it's not clone specific, but figured it would be appreciated here. Gonna be a cool project. |

Wow I paid $899 for a nib 6920 Socom rifle with the KAC rail a little over a year ago. I wonder if they are done with those for good, or they will sneak them back into the lineup in a year or two. |

Get the right stuff, or save up until you can. |

I'm hoping its one or the other lol. |
