 Muh Feet by LanceCriminal86, on FlickrWho had the breakdown of the ACE SOCOM generations? This one was advertised as Gen 2, tube was a bit wobbly in my Brownells A1 and I had to use some teflon tape to tighten it up. When I borrowed @Samson-Dogg 's his was rock solid. Maybe the carbine tube I got was a bit out of stock and that's why it was cheap, but it will do the job for now. |

Does anyone know if M1 knobs can be changed out to M3's? I shot an email to Leupold, but thought I'd ask in here in case anyone has done it.

If you haven't bought the Gen Juan LMT yet, use "fathersday" and get 20% off. Comes out to $94 shipped (unless you live in IL and forget they're here too

Took the first step and ordered a FDE SOPMOD stock today.
It'll be a long road. That's what I love about the AR platform, I can get a piece here and there as money allows. Because it's a Holland and I've been thinking about doing 6.8 for some time anyway, I am looking at Bison's Ops profiled barrel. http://bisonarmory.com/16-recon-bsp-subsonic-6-8-spc-stainless/ |

How important is having the illuminated rectile? Found a Mk4 3.5-10 without illum for $800. Can't remember the last time I've used illum on anything else I own, but if I'm going to drop the coin I want it to be correct.

There are at least three real deal pics on page one of non-illuminated Leupolds. The pics may be of the same rifle; LaRue mount, MRDS on an offset mount, and similar dark brown camo streaks across the lower and suppressor. Two pics show Magpul ACS stocks one pic shows a SOPMOD.

It also has the same scope mount, mrds, and camo streaks. https://imageshack.com/a/img923/7540/R6yzPO.png |

So according to the gentleman who carried the above said Mod H with non-Illum 3.5-10 and offset Docter, that was one of the Premier Reticles converted Vari-X/Mk4 with the Gen 2 MilDot, pulled from an M24.
He's one of the proprietors at KRG Ops, so keep eyeballs on their IG and ask questions, he's pretty good about answering. For a while he ran it with an A2 grip and Magpul ACS, and later on it seems with a Sierra SPR grip and FDE Gen I SOPMOD. |

Congratulations. If you don't mind me asking, how long is this scope? I am shopping for a correct-ish MK4 2.5-8x36 for my Mod1 and it occurred to me that my current VXR Patrol 3-9x40 might make a stand in for the non-illuminated scope from a distance on the Holland W.I.P.

Funny, I don't think it will bother me as much on a Holland as it does the Mod 1, especially since the Mod 1 is my screen saver pic.

It was the first thing I bought for the new house and knew the perfect spot would be over the fireplace. She was none too happy, but since I let her do whatever she wants with every other room she couldn't really put up a fight. Plus, most folks that come over comment on how nice it looks.

Thread bump time. I took a little bit of a break from the threads but I've still been shooting the crap out of my clones (atleast the H anyways). Been playing catch up on the threads and saw Lance was trying to get measurements off a Noveske barrel. Did you get what you need? Another cloner I know somehow got his hands on one and if you need something from it I might be able to help you out. Trying to get him to post some pics up in here for all to see.
