I wonder if it was Military or Police? "It appears to be real. Most likely a department owned sight that has been serialized so that they can keep track of their inventory.

Debating the practicality of m3x versus tan surefire M300C or M600U... No experience with lumen/power versus surefire. What would you guys chose? |

I need some info on verifying authenticity of a GL/SSC rail. Don't have any photos except the markings just under pic rail that do indeed say gl/ssc. What are some other ways I can verify that this unicorn is real?!!! Also, has anybody even seen knockoffs of these around? I hear stickman has some knowledge on this, can anyone here get me in touch with him? Thanks.

They may not be buying new ones, but the same current options are out there (Elcans, EOTechs, Aimpoints, ACOGs). |

Yeah - people who hate on EOTech yet have a bunch of L3 shit on their gun make me laugh.
I heard LMT is planning on releasing 37mm tubes in a couple months. By the time that happens mine should be approved anyways. The LMT is just a title 1 receiver. |

yeah copy that on the title 1, was looking at the barrel mounted ones pretty hard to justify an early GWOT M4A1 clone... would love to shoot some parachute flares and other cool guy rounds out of it... thanks for sharing!
and although I returned most of my eotechs... I still have a 512 and XPS 2-0 in the safe mounted to a couple of guns... hard to beat the reticle, and these are still going strong after being serviced a couple of years ago |

Just give it a good spray of something over that job. Doesn't even need to hide it completely. Just make it flatter. It does look like eggs. LOL. Better to try and fail than not try at all. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

At least that's what I keep telling myself. For those that have done it, what do you recommend for paint removal? I bought some items and soaked them with CLP three times for about 2-3 hrs and one piece overnight and it was still a pain in the dick to remove the paint. I used CLP based on a "manual" or something someone posted on here that was a PDF of the info/instructions when they were authorized to paint weapons for combat. |
