At that point your approaching half the cost of a used Illuminated mk4 on the ee, but I figured it would be pricey due to the fact you would be replacing half of the scope. Thanks for passing this word tho!

It's your thread eyekahn, do you want me to take them down? How about that one with the fixed stock, m4 barrel with the FSB cut off, round FF handguard and a leapy scope mounted to a rail attached to the top of the receiver with the carry handle cut off? I can't seem to find that pic right now.... |

For anyone who has had a Wilcox T1 mount, are they marked Wilcox with a part number or unmarked? I just got mine but order through a third party and it came in an unmarked bubble wrap bag with no markings. Judging by quality and finish I would say it's legit but just want to check....
