Do most of you zero your 10.3/5" @ 25yd or 50yd? Thanks. Please redirect me if this has already been discussed elsewhere. Thanks. 50yds. Ditto..I can easily engage 12" steel plates out to 300yds with a 50yd zero... Dang! Is this degree of accuracy normal with this length barrel, or are you a cyborg? I'm waiting on a stamp for a Colt 10.3 factory SBR. If I can plink the 300 yard steel at my gun club with that gun I will be extremely happy! |

Is that how the .mil configuration is? TIA Honestly, and I know this'll be an upopular opinion, but I'm more and more getting away from BUIS in general. They restrict the mounting options for magnified sights, which these days are pretty damn durable and reliable. After years of using carbines on both sides of the water and never using my BUIS, I'm beginning to find them unnecessarily limiting. It got excessive with my last rifle where I was running five independant sighting systems - primary optic, piggybacked MRD, PEQ, optic (ELCAN) mounted BUIS, and receiver mounted BUIS. While it's not necessarily apparent from those photos - I've also long been an NTCH - magnified optics on the very front of the receiver - stock completely collapsed kind of guy, but I'm experimenting with longer LOP and further rear mounting of optics, too. I do maintain fixed carry handle rifles for dedicated iron sights use to stay sharp with them and practice basic techniques, but on the Block 2 CQBR, the BUIS exist almost solely because I shelled out $186 for the taupe KAC front sight - which I've yet to even zero. In the horrific horrible of horribles - the ELCAN and TA01NSN both have BUIS on them, and for the fixed FSB carbines, I've trained to engage directly off the front sight without a rear aperture to acheive COM out to about 50m. That being said, overseas, I usually keep a pre-zeroed backup optic in my pack to begin with, with the TA51 mount and ARMS mounts giving you repeatability within 1-2MOA at most, it'll do until I can unass from whatever bad juju I'm in at the moment, then deal with the problem when things quiet down. Modern optics are pretty damn bombproof these days - and I reckon the likelihood of an ELCAN going down is remote enough that the likelihood of an ELCAN and an ACOG going down over the course of one engagement and requiring the use of BUIS is pretty infintessimally small. ~Augee |

Try posting that in AR Discussion and you'll get "but what if your weapon goes down and you need it right then!  " as they take their weapon out of their trunk and walk it to the bench. |

How are you liking the HK v2 grip? Were you able to try it out on the range yet? For me, the HK v2 is perfect ... hope yours is the same! |

I have decided that I must have a backstrap as an A1 or TD just seems to small for my hand. MOEs/MIADs are fine, but the steeper angle of the HK V2 is much better for getting your elbow tucked and maneuvering close quarters. MOEs angles are fine for most all my applications, but this one just feels good. Hopefully some others who are wondering will check it out. |

I have only tried it with M855, but it runs great. |

It noticeably reduces the blast and concussion at the shooter's position, my 7.5" with the pig doesn't seem any louder to my ear than a 14.5" or 16" with an A2 flash suppressor. Like mentioned above, it does add weight and length. For reference here's my 10.5" with A2 on the left and the 7.5" with the pig on the right:  |
