Why are the rails so much? Also when they price it out as $1,700 does that include both the RIS II variants at the same time? Just looking that list over you're looking at closer to $1,100 for all that plus just one rail, but $1,700 for both rails. However I don't know how it works for charging for assembly lol, but still $600 for assembly seems insane. Thanks for the info BTW. Only the Mk18 rail and to cut the barrel down. CD |

Is $300 a good deal for a used tan 553 marked su-231? The marking is faded. Can you stil get it refurbished? Found it stashed at a local gun show.

CD H2 is currently clone correct, but that doesn't mean it is the best choice for his rifle. If you have an H and an H2 you can make an H3 to try out. I personally make sure my rifles lock back not just on 5.56 but also on Federal .223 55 gr so there is a little extra gas. |

So I ended up getting a used 553/SU-231. Got home and cleaned it with some windex/hoppes, and the "SU-231/PEQ" marking was not worn/faded and came out brilliant. My question to anyone that has one of these, my battery cap and hood do not have any sort of Eotech markings other than the yellow laser sticker. Is the typical or this a special version? Thanks in advance for info.

Guys with risers, which ones are you running? I know Wilcox has one but I don't have the Eotech magnifier so I won't spend that on the riser without it. I like to shoot "head up" especially with my nods. I found the Weaver Tactical online for about $50. Just wondering what you guys are running

wondering if you guys could offer some help. i own the DBAL-A3 and it seems around the same price as the APTIL-C. i like the green laser on the DBAL over the red as it is more powerful and easier to pick up. however the APTIAL is the more correct unit and looks better IMO, should i stick with the DBAL? is it a better technical unit? or try to post up a straight trade offer for a APTIL? just looking for insight if its worth it to try to trade up or just stick with what i have. here is my current setup. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/521/31436783954_37fde70359_b.jpg cheers guys. I was told by the guys at TNVC that the A3 is a better unit than the APTIL-C in terms of features if I remember correctly. I got my A3 back in 2015. One feature is that you can zero your visible laser and it will zero the IR laser at the same time. I also believe the Ir illuminator on the A3 has more adjustments than the APTIL-C? I got the A3 mainly because the APTIL-C was out of stock and I wasn't into clones yet. Call TNVC and speak with them. They'll set you straight. The APTIL-C is clone correct unless you can get your hands on a PEQ15a (never seen one for sale) or a real PEQ15 (run about $2000?) or LA-5 ($3000?). |

Just wondering what you guys are running I don't think there is a clone-correct one per se, but I'd try to stick with a quality manufacturer. We have seen the LaRue LT100(?) used on both M4s and HK416s, the KAC has been spotted on a variety of guns, and I have seen a super-high A.R.M.S. riser (#54, 1.5" rise  ) used on old-school CQBRs with EOTech 551s/552s (check out the Instagram profile for sofsurvivor). Those are all going to be pricier options. TannerB posted a pic on Instagram showing a Leupold riser that looked pretty nice and is a bit less expensive than the KAC or LaRue.
ETA: here's a pic of the 1.5" riser (on top of a SIR no less)
