How many times in one thread do we need people asking where they are made?

Quoted: Huh . Knew the SLx was Chicom but thought the GLx was Filipino. ??? View Quote The tier is not country of origin. I will do a separate post next week explaining the tiers in more detail. But GLx is advanced design, latest technology, premium materials at reasonable price point. Again I get the recent surge in anti China sentiment and what if any long term impact on where things are made will not pan out overnight. One additional point is in the past most companies just took what the factory was already building and spec out some changes but the basic design stayed. This is an all new GLx design and this was the best factory to make it. |

I have American Defence mini-acog mount as well. I just placed a pre-order for the june batch. Are the longer screws now being included? I wanted to make a special note/instruction on the order in case they needed to be put in the package but the website wouldn't let me. |

Email me your info. With todays order volume the guys in the warehouse might not catch the note while processing orders |

Hey PA when will the carry handle see-thru block be available and do you guys sell the screws required for that? Thinking of trying this on my carry handle. Thanks!

Quoted: How many times in one thread do we need people asking where they are made? View Quote This. "Where is it made" is a simplistic, do-something response to a complex issue. Kind of like "just ban assault weapons" is a simplistic, do-something response to a complex issue. Also, maybe learn something about global supply chains. Kind of like we keep asking anti-gunners to learn something about guns. I'm not equating Made in China with 2A as an issue. It's entirely about approach. |

Could you provide the MOA drops for 2/3/400 yard marks?
Just fiddling around with my known chronographed loads and was thinking I'd figure out some drop. Can't wait for the next backorders to ship. Thanks! |

After spending some time at the range I must say I'm absolutely loving the GLX 2x. I find it hard to believe that this combination of glass clarity, FOV, eye relief, size and weight, and of course the usefulness of the reticle can exist at this price point. I don't care if it's made in China or Mordor. I'll be picking up another one.
One little feature request: a quick focus eyepiece to make it easier to switch between prescription glasses and no glasses without a lot of twisting. Add this, and the scope will be perfect with nothing to improve :) |

I would use a paint pen and mark the two spots you use. |

Hi Marsh. By chance do you have an ETA when the second shipment will be shipped? Thanks.

How does this scope work out with a fixed front sight tower?

Thanks to folks who bumped this thread; I missed this optic's existence. Now that I know about it, it's one more thing for me to contemplate owning .
ETA: any plans for a 3x or 4x with this simpler reticle? I personally find most of the other ACSS variations to be a bit busy, and just go for Kentucky windage. |

View Quote No plans for a simple reticle at this time. I get that there is no one optic or retice that fits everyone but in use you tune out what you are not using. |

Noticed that both GLX 2x are now OOS on your website. If we back ordered before the OOS, will we still be able to get in on the June shipment?
|

What thread pitch are your screws for the base? And length?
Haven't received two longer screws for my base so figured I could find some locally at Ace if they're a standard metric or inch thread and length. |

Customers are reporting that the American Defense comes with them M View Quote The ADM AD-B2-STD. It only came with two screws roughly 3/8" long. Unless I am wrong I was assuming that to use the high spacer that comes with the GLX2, I would need bolts long enough to go all the way through the mount, through the spacer and screw into the scope? And I didn't think 3/8 would be enough. |

PM me you address and I will get the screws sent out today |

However, that does not apply to the GLx2 since the base 'wing' is much shorter. |

Quoted: All orders placed before 6/26 are shipping as they come off the QC line. We have added a night shift to push them out faster. Newer orders will be September View Quote If I place an order now for one, will my card be charged when it ships in September? And the RS Regulate acog mount works for this, right? |

Guys what’s the consensus best QD mount for this scope if I am running an M4 clone with a fixed front sight?
Are special screws required? |

View Quote I made a post in the optics subforum thread on this optic. I have done a good bit of research in finding a good alternative if you choose to go that route. My influence was based on obtaining a certain height over bore. You will need different length screws depending on what mount you choose and what size spacer you choose, if you choose to use an alternative mount with a spacer. If you need those additional screws, Marshall is assisting inquiries there. |

Well done, Primary Arms. |
