Gonna wait a few days before I commit and torque it all down.

It’s just an image through one of my binos I took at the range this early AM. Real clean high spec L3 filmless WP. Comparing the original image to the one I uploaded it definitely degraded it a bunch too.

So has anyone had any issues not getting their SOCOM RC (original not RC2) to seat all the way down? I had my first conjugal today with the can, it's a used can ~400 rounds on it. Have the 4 prong on and it wouldn't fully seat on that index pin on the bottom of the 4 prong, it was about 3/8" shy of going down all the way. No carbon build up on the 4P either. Tried everything I could to get it on even the gunsmith couldn't do it, told me to RMA the shit lol.

There might be some without, but they usually have some other sign of being fake (no logo, clearly the wrong finish, etc.). If you have access to a 3P you can always take some calipers and compare. The outside dimensions of a 3P and 4P should be exactly the same. |

Seriously, I need to get some thermal and NV; I've been thinking about it more and more lately. I wish the shit wasn't so expensive. I kinda figured I'd wait until I could get a really nice setup, but I suppose I could swing something that'd still be decent now. It's really just a matter of staying focused on that and not getting distracted with all the other clone/gun shit I could buy instead. |

I wish I would get into it as I have several friend's who do but I keep starting more damn clone project's and never end up finishing.

Speaking of fakes, there are definitely several that have logos now. A lot of the time the retailers will strip or blur the logo for product photos, but they are out there.

Look at the back of your 4P. A lot of the good fakes have a dimple or hole where you would normally pin and weld.
