With all this talk, I'm thinking of sending my exps back and selling my BUIS, M3X and possibly picking up an ACOG. But for some reason I have a feeling I'll just end up with an eotech in the long run

I have a colt LE6920 socom just laying around that I rarely shoot for reasons. (COUGH, 16 INCH BBL, COUGH, NOT 14.5 OR 10.3 COUGH)
anyways... Here's my questions. Should I have the bbl chopped and do a mod 0 since it already has KAC rail, and is full colt? Or should I take one of my westernsport bbls, and have FSP pin slots drilled. (The westernsport bbl route would be cheaper than a chop.) But would I kick myself for not going Colt? |
|
|
Or should I save the westersnport bbl for another cqbr build, since I have a second 4 prong also?
I know a mini-4 isn't correct on a mod 0, but god damn if I build one, it's getting one. |

Older like 2008-9ish 553s were marked su-231/peq and were available just about anywhere. It's a certain serial number range of su231s that belonged to the military. Anytime you ever call eotech and ask a question like this, they instantly assume the worst. They assume it's stolen govt property if you call about an su231 or a "tan" 553 sometimes because of how often they get the call lol. I had a su231/peq in the 700,XXX serial range I bought from either brownells or midway back in 2010ish. |

If you guys do a RARF through EOTech site for a su-231, select discontinued on the drop down as it isn't listed under type of product. I will keep you posted on how this goes.

Most of the military 231 & 231a do not have L3/Eotech logos on them. If your 231 has the logos on the hood or battery cap there's a good chance it's a civi model.
