Quote HistoryIt's a simple form that you complete & send to the ATF. They will approve it & then you're good to move or travel to a SB friendly state. Not really a hassle. I've heard even with a registered SBR that you have to have written approval to move it to a different state. Any state - even those that approve SBRs. Not true? I'll have to look into it further. I would definetly do that if that's the case. |

I think your zero would be super close if not the same either way. I have better situational awareness running it forward, I can see my surroundings better and it just feels right for me. EOTech recommends it too, but there are alot of special operations guys that run em further back, so different strokes for different folks I suppose. But generally the rule of thumb is keep a non magnified RDS forward |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ECPrevatte:
Do you like the Eotech that far back? I've personally run mine in both spots pretty extensively and have come to prefer it up above the mag well. I've even played with placing it out on the rail, and I like that even more, but it feels super goofy and looks weird. I think it has something to do with treating the reticle almost like I would treat a front sight post, where I'm sort of guiding it or "moving" it to the target … vs the back where it more feels like I'm just guiding the muzzle until the reticle lines up. Not sure if that makes any sense, super hard to explain. Here's an example of running it really far forward: 
But I think just about any position is valid. I think it's just personal preference. Seems like most of the pictures I've seen it's about 50/50. Obviously with running a magnifier it's going to have to be at least above the mag well. But if no magnifier, it seems like a lot of people prefer the rear:

Where is the source of this photo? The barrel in the second gun from the right does not seem to be 10.3" or at least not a Colt. In fact it looks like a ballistic advantage or whoever that cuts their barrels similarly.

Anyone know where I can get my hands on a MK18 rail :(
Shoot me a PM if you know any dealers who still have them please! :(

They stopped selling them individually somewhere around a year ago. The last one I knew that had some was BCM but that was probably 6+ months ago. Your only option at this point is to, 1. Purchase a complete Mk18 upper from DD or one of their retailers, or 2. Find one used on the second hand market. I posted a WTB ad in the EE about 3 months ago and picked one up, used but in good condition, for about $100 less than retail. The EE route is your best option if you don't need the complete upper. |

Actually, the further away it is the more your FOV will be, the Closer it is to your eye, the more of your vision will be obstructed by the housing, hence less field of view. remember that FOV is the extent of the observable world that is seen at any given moment and with a RDS(both eyes open) it's not limited to what you see through the viewing window of the optic. |

By way of reference: I have yet to see anyone with the new Surefires in theater (Afghanistan); that's not to say there are not any, just that I have yet to see any. Agreed the KAC QDSS is still the largest fielding. There are some FMSBC in Astan cause we were installing them before they shifted me down south. Most guys don't have the Surefire suppressor yet so that is why there is not big push for the FH. CD I think that the basic misunderstanding that people are having is believing that once a new SOPMOD item is approved and accepted into the inventory, that every operational unit immediately begins getting them fielded. In reality - the easiest way to understand it might be to compare the SOPMOD "parts list" like a catalog that all SOCOM units get, and can order out of. They all have their own budgets, operational needs, priorities, and fiscal decision makers - and the SOPMOD catalog is not their own means of acquiring new equipment to spend their money, though they're supposed to spend a certain amount out of the catalog. "Acceptance" or "adoption" of a new item into the SOPMOD inventory really just means that a new item has been added to the catalog, and units can now chose to order it using funds earmarked for purchases out of the catalog. This is why it took much longer for units to start using M4A1 RIS IIs versus MK18 RIS IIs, and why even though M4A1 FSP RIS IIs were "adopted," almost no one was using them until one organization decided to start fielding them. As far as I can tell, only one of the major SOCOM organizations has thus far decided to order the SOCOM-RCs in any significant numbers - most of the other organizations all appear to be sticking with their NT4s for the time being. As with all organizations - not everyone gets "upgraded" at the same time - and sometimes - the last ones to get upgraded sometimes end up getting the newest stuff - and then the cycle starts anew until they're end up being the last ones holding the bag of older equipment until the last possible minute before the next generation of equipment. ~Augee |

I really just mean the optics FOV alone. When you look through binos, you hold em against your eye so you can see what they see. You don't put em a few inches away and try to look through em from there. The MOA mathematics suggests that the further away from you the objects is ( e.g., Front BUIS, RDS, etc ), the less obtrusive it is. This means the same BUIS put further away, the smaller the MOA it is (think longer sight radius). When you put the RDS further away, its frame and housing cover less area in the distance, so you can see things in your surrounding better. Here is one way to understand it. Close one of your eyes and place your hand in front of the other eye that is open. When the hand is up close, it blocks more of your view. When the hand is further away, it blocks less of your view. You can trying this with both eyes open, too. As for bridging RDS across upper receiver and rail - sometimes you have no choice, particularly if you are mounting a magnifier behind the RDS. The rail flex in the area immediately in front of upper receiver is so small, the effect would be negligible for shorter distances. There are other arguments such as thermal expansion of different materials ( aluminum vs steel ) and etc. Keep in mind that the barrel nut is made of steel, and the rail ( aluminum ) is mounted to the gun by clamping to the barrel nut, which is torqued on to the upper receiver that is aluminum. So these arguments are just talking point science. For scopes, however, if you must, then a unibody mount is preferred over rings, because the mount will absorb the flex so the scope is not damaged.     |

I don't know how many of you who have seen this in the Colt 2015 Catalog thread, but this would be the perfect starter package for clones:

I would pay 600ish |

For those who are local to Phoenix, they're on the north side of town in Peoria. No walk-in service, but lots to choose from in terms of Colt lowers and parts, etc. Specialized Armament N1 buttstocks? Oh hell yes please!

Definitely the biggest distributor of Colt parts. Only downside is the prices but at least you know you're getting colt |

Ken, owner of SAW, suggested H3 buffer is highly recommended for his MK18 barrel, which has his reliability package modifications. This is from a one on one email communication I had with him. I am going guess the gas port size is closer to DD's 0.080" than the spec 0.070". Looking forward to the comparison. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ihcnehc:

The last SAW barrel I picked up had a port of roughly 0.078 (measured by drill bit ).
I didn't measure my other one because I had already Rocksett my NT4 comp and didn't see the point in tearing it down for an Interwebz pissing contest. |

Now I need an H3.
I've been using an H2 with good success unsuppressed. Suppressed the cyclic rate is a little fast. |
