How's the eye relief on that? I'm normally nose to charging handle on AR's just from shooting NRA high power, and with Mk4 on ARMS rings, my cheek is almost hanging off the end of the stock. |

View Quote Eye relief is pretty excellent with my nose on the charging handle above 8x it starts to get fussy about picture. That said a half inch gap nose to charging handle it’s clean and clear across the hole range. Objective housing is a little further forward than the case really likes but it all still fits and I could bring it back and still get comfortable on the stock. |

View Quote Woof, alright, well one more thing to keep my eye out for then Also, last call for spare bore guides! I have 3 non-engraved and 2 engraved guides left over as of right now. I can sell 2 immediately, and once the remaining 3 guides in the mail from the regular orders get delivered, I'll release the remaining 3 spares. I'm more than willing to do another run in the future if there's enough demand, but I have zero idea when, or more importantly IF that'll ever be. Send me a PM or email if you're interested. |

The x50 NF is nice and my dream scope for the Mk12 but TheShlouf is killing me with that mildot 2.5-10x24 NF that optic is beautiful. Even more so with that chicken scratch on the bottom of the turret housing!

The guy messaged me first about some completely unrelated arms rings stuff. In chatting with him he mentioned he had it along with a sizable collection of mil contract NFs, so I asked if it was for sale. |

I have a request for someone in here with ARMS rings and some calipers.
On the bottom of the rings, there is a crossbar that fits into the slots of picatinny rails. Can someone measure how thick that cross bar is? I have a side project with a weaver rail (narrower slots than picatinny) and wondering if ARMS rings may works. |

I got a riddle for you boys. Does anyone know how a way to tell from this packaging label if this #38 PEQ2-3 is wingless or not (I'm sure the answer is no) OR have any tricks to where I might be able to see into this? This thing is triple wrapped with 2 mil packaging and I cannot make out the swan. Sooooooo tempted to open it up but no way I'm doing it without exhausting any avenue to try and see it through the packaging with my own two eyes. And no, shinning a flash light does not work. Makes it harder to see actually. Just hoping someone may have ran into one of these.
