Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SDMF_Rebel: and where the fuck is your gangster grip young sir You see, what had happened was, a dude sent me a gangster grip with a perfectly round hole. Not big enough, but round. I went to work with some 80 grit, but it was slow moving. Moved to 40 grit. Still gaining no trackable headway, I decided that a dremel was next up. Fast forward, hole ain't round no more. Even torquing down the set screw doesn't help because the sides fit fine, there's up and down play from the back. Only way to get it to stay put is to cant it up or down then torque the set screw, but then that leaves a canted up or down light. Not enough room to get a shim in there and I've sworn off metalwork until I get a drill press so I'm not fucking with it any more. And so is the ballad of a GWOTonian not worthy of the name.... Here it is, though! Got a nice angle so you can't see the shame

Trying to nail down an optic for this Socom A.R.M.S. S.I.R. affair. Anyone have good things to say about the Aimpoint PRO? Or 1.5-5 Leupold? Or 1-4 Viper? I'd like to say a Razor but this "cheap parts bin build" has already gotten out of hand.

Aimpoint pro and viper are both good. The p4xi is better, though it's went up in price. At one point you could buy a vortex ranger for $300 new (same as the viper pst), though I'm not sure that's still a thing.

Burris RT-6 can be had for ~$300, the glass is killer for the price. It’s what I’ll be using on my 16” GWOT-ish LaRECCE.

I have looked at that picture so much because of the Armalite. I still want to do it but waiting on JT is just taking so long and now that the S.I.R. is secured it's on the back burner until homie's books clear up. |

Even when you remove the filler the side rails are still there. |

MRE could be chopped to match the FF RAS carbine, if one was so inclined. Like I said it's way more plausible that it was originally the FF RAS carbine, but there is also a rifle-length handguard pictured that is cut down.

Start to my 11.5 build project. Alignment pins came in pretty fast for the KAC rail so I’m going to try some assembly Monday.
 Now to decide whether to use my Aero FDE receiver set that matches pretty close to the cerakote or run the black upper receiver I have. No sbr lowers yet  so either way it’ll be a pistol for now |
