Pretty decent video I ran across on YT. Figured you hosers might like it. InvisbleSight IS-EG NGAL, As Good as a Clone Gets? |
Fuck Cancer. Love you Pop.

I'm interested in these, but haven't heard that many people talking about their experiences with them. Edit: IS-EG in video has EEL illuminator and finished assembly by Invisible Sight. Again, most likely waiting for longer than advertised lead time as their original NGAL. Evolution Gear NGAL doesn't have VSCEL. Unsure if the connector is Crane style or LA23. Emailed them and they are making 30 units a month, but was told it is essentially a pre-order. Edit again: Noticed comments on video stating it was EEL illuminator. |

I have the full-fledged IS instead of the IS-EG. Key differences from the one in the video (and I replied to his video saying the same) are that I have the VCSEL illuminator and that the adjustment of the illuminator is smooth and doesn't 'click' or 'step' like his does. My output is similarly horrendously not eye safe, but for the price it is probably the best LAM on the market. Mine's held solid recoil on my 10.3 for 600ish rounds now and I don't expect that to change - the recoil lugs and the strength of the adjustments make this seem like a rather rugged unit. That said, my lead time was over a year and people who ordered before me are still waiting. Until his order management and production gets resolved, I don't feel comfortable recommending anyone place an order with him even thought it's a phenomenal product. |

I would like an NGAL but I am just a lowly civilian so I'll just look at cool pictures of them. |

I just got the IS NGAL (VCSEL) and well, it's good but I think I'll buy more SG NGAL's. I agree, until he can get his production and delivery un-fucked, I wouldn't recommend him to anyone, regardless of how good the product is. I had to actually request a refund, to get him to ship it. Wait time was about 18 months. For me and what I'm doing. This thing is too powerful for my short rifles and their intended use (0-250m, give or take). I am putting it on my primary long rifle (0-500m, give or take). So it's GTG for a DMR-type rifle. The SG NGAL will go on my primary short rifle. With ATPIALS and SG PEQ-15's on secondary rifles. But to add. This is the current sit. It sounds like he is working hard to expand his workforce, output, and get ship times under control. If he can improve, I would also consider his NGAL-EG up against the SG NGAL (and maybe Holosun VCSEL) for upgrades. And the NGAL form factor is awesome compared to the PEQ-15. |
It's all about the fiddle factor.

They're made in-house. There isn't a legit L3 part on the entire thing but they've done a damn impressive job with reverse engineering. |

I just ordered the mk4 version this morning. Now the wait begins. I was going to get the IS-EG version but I live in South Florida and every day in the summer we have torrential downpours. I have already been through a training day in that environment so I wanted something waterproof and a longer warranty so I saved up for the upgrade. I am still curious to see the ES-EG versions handles vs the competition. So far I have seen many people reporting issues with SG mount. |
Another good review worth watching.  Do NGAL Clones Hold Up to the REAL Thing? |

Clearly, the IS NGAL is a quality unit. And since the unit tested was not the VCSEL version... I'd love to see how the new ones will stack up to the real thing. |

Got the IS/EG NGAL last week after pre-paying back in October. Took it out to shoot & while trying to zero it, the turret cap for the VIS/IR popped off before I could even shoot it. Sent it back & waiting for a replacement. My buddies also had issues with holding zero at 200yds. He too is sending his back for a replacement. |

My buddies also had issues with holding zero at 200yds. He too is sending his back for a replacement. Sorry to hear that. Seems like IS/EG might not have a QC process that's much better than SOMO's? Or they're trying to rush units out the door to meet demand and save their name from the long wait times they've had over the past couple of years? |

The unit looks nicely put together, I think that is the only QC process (getting it to look nice). This is sold and shipped from EG & not IS. IS claims on his site that he hand checks the IS/EG units if you purchase from him direct, but his ship times are sketchy. |

My buddy picked up an EG unit. Pressure pad wire ripped right out of the unit while it was being placed on the pic rail. Hrm... As far as the performance goes. It's about on par with my FP PEQ15. It seemed to hold zero through about 200 rounds of 5.56. |

Has anyone ordered one in march/april? I ordered one in July and still waiting. I got a email today that he has started shipping april. "Hi, Sorry for the late reply. The production is doing great. I'm currently shipping April orders. There are an extremely large amount of orders placed in march/April. Also April has a lot of orders placed, 4 batches of shipments. It's possible orders placed after will have a bit of delay. July orders will be processed a bit later. I'm doing the best I can. Your patience will be rewarded with the best quality unit. Thanks jx" |

Alright. Mine was delivered today. Let me give you the timeline. March 2024 reached out to ask about opening mk4 orders, he opened ordering up for me. I ordered mk4 green laser vscel. Promised delivery in 6 ish months. Month seven I inquire to the status, told beginning of December. Nothing happens January 2025 reach out again. Says will ship soon Mid January. Reach out again. I’m going to shot show, I can try to do it before but if not def right after. You will ship it right after show show? Yes. Ok. I can accept that. February send email. No reply Two weeks later. Email no reply 1 week later email through website and all emails. No reply. Say fuck it I will just wait. April. He is shipping mk5. Decide to propose a deal. Respond to my original thread. Hey dude I have a proposal that makes us both whole. Give me credit for my mk4. A slight discount on a mk5. And send me two, I will pay the difference. He responds and accepts. Month passes nothing. Hit him up. He says he built some mk4 and I can do that, I say I’m good with two mk5. My order goes to ship with FedEx tracking. But no movement for a month. A couple more emails asking how he wants me to pay. He confirms two mk5 and new FedEx tracking. Which moves the next day. Package shipped Thursday 7/10 Delivered today 7/14 So if you have an outstanding order try emailing him proposing a deal to make you both whole. |
