Interesting.... I wonder if the mrds uses standard screws. The insight mrds mount I got for my ACOG doesn't with the screws for my Docter |

It's not just the threads either. The diameter on the screws for my Docter are much too large for the mount holes

Cool article comparing the Son Tay raid carbines with the modern CQBR. I didn't know Son Tay was the first time red dot optics where used in the mil.

Is there any form of heat insulation I can put on that wire to make it not melt? I don't suppose electrical tape would do jack shit, but a type of tape in general would be ideal.
Also, any tips on keeping the plug on your IR laser systems (DBAL-I² specifically) because mine keeps falling out (or pulling out just enough to make the pressure switch not work), and the last time I went shooting, I found that in transit, the plug actually bent and now no longer works. I guess I need to get an actual case for them, but putting them in my backpack is just, well, slightly easier. At least, right up until it broke the $120 dollar (ballpark guestimate) Surefire dual pressure switch. Anyway, I'd like to prevent that from happening again, and getting a dedicated case is certainly an option, but that still leaves me with the problem of the plug for the pressure switch falling out easily. I guess I could go the ghetto route and go with the electrical tape, but I'd rather not, and I thought about just super glueing the next one in, but if I do that and something happens to the wire (see above example) then I'm pretty much screwed. Thoughts? |

See, this is why I ask. I don't know why I didn't think of that, lol. 
Anyway, yeah, I guess I could contact Surefire, and I probably will, if not to just get their opinion on how to fix the issue, but I don't see why a new one wouldn't end up doing the same thing. It is weird though, as you can see, it only melted on the right side, not the left, and there's obviously ports in the rail that allows heat to escape on both sides. The only thing I can think of is that I usually lay my guns down on their left side (even handguns), mostly because I'm a righty, and it's just more natural that way. So I guess I must have shot a lot with it, got the barrel real hot, and then either laid it down, or switched uppers, making the heat rise through the right side of the gun, and therefore melting/deforming only the one side. Still though, you would imagine it would be designed to take a little warmth. |

Looks good bro! Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MILSPEC556:

Looks good bro! Thanks. The Scout does take a beating out there but it doesn't appear to do anything beyond aesthetics. Now if my SOCOM would get out of jail i'd be in business. Sucks I won't be able to leave it attached while on duty.

Two questions: 1. What kind of straps are they (holding your wires together), and where can I get them? 2. Do your wires not get really hot and melt/deform that close to the ports on the rail? I ask because; I thought I'd be clever and cut out a little notch in the rail covers to fit the wire, so it'd stay out of the way. Like so: Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JohnnySasaki20:

I ask because; I thought I'd be clever and cut out a little notch in the rail covers to fit the wire, so it'd stay out of the way. Like so: Sorry for the late reply. As someone already mentioned, the straps are just the ones that come with any insight product like the atpials and WMXs. I think they're meant to hold on the standard single tape switches (in combination with the sticky velcro on them) to either the rail or a VFG but they work great for the dual switch too. I have never had a problem with my wires melting. But I don't use Surefire switches, my setup is all insight, so maybe those wires are more resistant? Dunno. Could also be that by using something like a rail cover you're actually trapping the heat in there. I think with my setup, just using a strap, there's plenty of airflow still in and around the wires which probably prevents too much heat. I don't know if I'd put them under something solid like a rail cover like that - specifically for that reason. |

But the MRO just looks out of place IMO. Understandable, but I still see no way that we won't see these in use in the future. I wouldn't put an MRO on my clones as of yet, but it'll be seen eventually. |
