Wasn't a fan of the mod 0, so I'm slowly switching to the 1.5.
I have an extra 4 prong... might have to throw it on there and pick up another Surefire can.

Mail call Monday. New piece for a new build. I will not post in here since it will be a 10.4 build
Someone remind me where the ideal place for an RMR cut is? ATEI, BattleWorx (in my old stomping grounds of CT), Jagerwerks? Looking to keep the factory 19x finish, but want the milled area coated so it is not raw aluminum? I will need supressor sights, most offer Ameriglow as an option. I have no experience with them, only Trijicon night sights i have on a M&P 2.0C. Thoughts on RMR cut, keeping factory coating, but also suppressor sights?

As long as they have a good mill and have your slide level, seems Purdy basic to do. Wish I still had access to a mill! ETA your slide is made of steel BTW.

Afternoon gents!
Had anyone ordered from RETRO RIFLES.com? So I’m still working on my mk18 cqbr and I have on a coyote B5 sopmod stock. I wanna switch my stock to the more correct black sopmod stock and they have one there that’s made in America that’s built to mil-spec. Had anyone ordered any clone parts with them? |

You can get a proper Gen 1 B5 in black from Brownells and numerous other sources for $60-$100. Not the best price below at $95, but if you look around you can likely find it for less. Either way, I'd take a B5 all day over a cheap knock off. https://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/stock-parts/buttstocks/ar-15-government-issue-sopmod-stock-collapsible-mil-spec-prod117746.aspx |

I got mine last year from Au for like $600 Since, as far as I know, there isn't a single distributor with RCs in stock, I'd wager BPT is literally just ordering them from SF for $1,399 like anyone can and charging $200 for the service. |

I think Surefire is still accepting Golden Tickets for the RC1s.
If they're still taking the tickets i think it's the best way to go if you want an RC1. |
