Is there a firm shipping ETA on the second batch of ATPIAL-C's?

Might of missed it but didn't see in the Manuel. What is the operating temperture range for the peq?

Ok, I've been playing with my PEq-15.   The illuminator does have the bars at the top and bottom and there's no full circle.   Even at a distance of 50 yards.   That's fine, it still does what it is supposed to do, but can someone explain why?   Poor design if you ask me.   I haven't taken  a picture of it, but maybe this weekend as I'll be using first time in the field.

I've noticed that some guys would get an interruption of the illuminator's "full circle" because of a shadow from a protrusion off of their front BUIS. Not really a big deal. Think that's what you're seeing?

Maybe.   It was cold out and dark last night- so I didn't stay out long.    I'll look at it this weekend.  I want to say no. But I'll look.

Those of you that got the targets with the PEQ-15, can you help me out?  The target is a 25m target with blue indicating a 300 yards Zero.   Green is 200 m zero and orange is 100m zero.

If I want to zero my rifle at 50 yards,  How do I do this?  Just line up the IR with the reflective square and set it below the orange circle?  Does this mean that below the

100 yard shot (lower than orange circle)  it should be 50m?    I'm also thinking to just put it at 100 because there's very little difference between 100 and 50.  50 being slightly lower.  Just wanted to know some thoughts.

for reference

If you are trying to achieve a 50/200 meter zero (the target is actually set for meters, not yards) then you set your laser point on the reflective tape and adjust your bullet POI to the green circle. If you desire a 25/300 meter zero, then your bullet should impact the blue circle. (I don't zero this way, but that is how the target is designed, and it seems to be a good set up for that.) So for a 50 yd zero, you will work toward a green circle POI.

Why is the POI off to the left? The laser is to the right of your bore. As you visualize the movement required to swing your laser to the center of the target, you will see your muzzle moving to the left. Thus your POI is moved to the left. The circles represent the differing trajectories for a 100, 200, and 300 meter zero. Clear as mud?

I think the only chance of it clearing the PEQ-15 is with the S&S replacement bodies or their low pro mounts but don't take my word on it. The popular rail mounted offset mounts will not clear the PEQ-15 illuminator. I tried a few years back.

Badger ordnance does make an offset mount for the scout lights that pushes it further away from the the emitter and away from the weapon, not sure if they still make it. I think the haley strategic drop wing or whatever it's called drops a scout out of the way but I believe it's meant for 7" rails like the KAC RAS.

Does anyone have an explanation as to why the illuminater is darker at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock.   I've been looking at pictures on page one of this series of posts and it looks as a full circle to me.  I took off the Peq-15 this evening so there is nothing hindering the illuminater and its there.  Design flaw?  Anyone else's like this?

Maybe the lens peice that focuses the laser is in a different position.  Or the unit is being held sidways or mounted on side like you said.  Or camera or night vision they are using has higher gain or pics up more of the circle.  I think the issue may vary from unit to unit and conditions....but usually on low power you get this effect to an extent...from my limited experience anyway.

This kinda disconcerting, since a lot of us tend to love our Gear Sector mounts with Scouts in the 1 O' Clock.

I have a few  DBAL-I2, GS mount/Scout 1 o'clock configured carbines and light body sits up against and just about flush with the overhang of the DBAL.


While the older Vampire Head is pretty big and I can see it interfering with clearance, I believe this is the new 600V model in question which has a similar bezel profile to the 600U:


Or...........is it not the head and the issue is the Scout body itself not being able to clear the overhang of the ATPIAL?
I went ahead and got a HSP Drop wing to try out just in case to mitigate this issue. Seems really pliable compared to the GS mount though.

On mine, I had to swap sides on the dropping light mount, and switch to mbus pro sights to get clearance. Not 100% sure this is my final solution, I've never run a pressure switch, but the mbus pro fit nicely in between the illum and laser heads. Atpial-c is fantastic. Rail is the sws/Noveske quad.

Yes, thank you for those photos. So do you think the new surefire vampire head allow the red laser to clear unlike the larger vampire head in your photo?
Link Posted: 1/12/2015 12:30:47 PM EDT
[#30]
No doubt it would. I think finding the right offset might do it on my setup with the old head even. It's so close to clearance that I think even most other full quad rails might clear. This one is pretty narrow compared to other brands, so it probably comes down to how wide is you rail. I've got a magpul offset I can try and get a pic up today and mic the width of the rail.

Eyes are open! Wish I could make it down this year.......

Being that the DBALs sit higher than the ATPIAL, here's some comparison pics of one of my DBALs used in conjunction with a Gear Sector mount/Scout light combo on a standard KAC RAS.

The body of the Scout pretty much rests on the bottom portion of the DBAL with no other room to breathe. The visible laser does clear the KE2A and KX2C heads.

RE: Unity mount



I like what they were going for, but I am noticing a few things that prevent me from being interested.





1. The battery cap on the laser looks like it is being blocked by the unity mount and the laser or the mount would have to be removed to change the battery.





2. Without tape switches firing the laser looks more than awkward with the surefire right there. Unless you are going to completely change firing grip of the weapon by grasping on to the surefire.
I don't know. I would have to play with it.

I had the opportunity to play around with a new ATPIAL this weekend.  The illumination was a complete circle, not a bar as some have photographed.

Really, really liked the one switch = IR laser & IR illumination feature.

It seems like this and a mount like the Unity that puts a white light with a momentary switch near your support hand thumb would be ideal.

I may have to dump my CQBL/Scout setup for this...
