Then you have a tape switch for either or both devices mentioned above. |

The clone bug is getting to me again. Really considering swapping the MK8 for a RIS II and doing a Block II CQBR to go with my Block I.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AZ_SBR: Dude, I hear ya on the clone bug. My two cents: that bottom setup is a really rad SBR with some clone parts on it. I think it looks amazing as-is, without calling it a clone. Just go the ARFcom route and build a third to fill the Block II clone spot.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Sierra5: What about as far as barrel length and rail combo? I understand how some can be mission specific (as in their mission not so much one specific mission). Do they get to run whatever barrel length and rail as long as its something they unit or you guys have? The pics of the DD with the FSB cuts made me wonder if that’s something ramdomly assigned or something they wanted specifically as their gun. @combat_diver CD |

On snow had 10" of fresh powder on the ground yesterday morning. Then the day warmed up and reached 40 degrees and melted that all way except for what was in the shadows. Then it became a mud pit. This morning everything is frozen as its 13 degrees now.

Sometimes they will put on a different rail and personnel optic. They get both a 10.3" and 14.5" DD RIS II uppers. On the 14.5" there are two different rails, with or without FSB. Its one or the other. Who gets want, I don't know as it happened when I was on a different contract. CD Thanks for the awesome pics and info throughout. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By krdt:
Yep, that's the correct model. The price is alright, but not fantastic. If you're looking to buy right now and not interested in waiting, it wouldn't be a bad deal. That said, if you can wait, I'd hold out for something around $500 or less. Hell, during Black Friday, a few lucky bastards picked up the same model for $369 directly from Eotech. I wouldn't hold my breath on finding one for that price, but if I found one for $500 I'd be strongly tempted and anything at or below $475 I'd buy without hesitation. Of course, I'm in no great hurry, so I have the luxury of waiting for a particularly good deal (as long as my self-discipline holds, lol). Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By krdt:

Shark Arms had them for $65, but they're out, unfortunately. Brownells had them for $50 during BF, but that doesn't do you any good, either :\. Either way, you want a Gen 1 without the QD from either B5 or LMT; I prefer LMT (you can find them occasionally on the EE for decent prices). FYI, the quality, fit and finish on B5 Gen 1 Coyote and LMT are about the same; the fit and finish on the black B5 isn't that great. Plenty usable, just the black Gen 1 B5 is a bit rough compared to the LMT and B5 Coyote. Originally Posted By 762hunter2:

Since it's only engaging one slot, it'll very slightly distort the aluminum in the slot you use, but that won't hurt anything. I've used my Tapco multiple times to remove/install RIS IIs. |

Quote HistoryGood. Night. Man, you've been doing some acquiring of nice things Can't wait to see said builds come together. On another note, I love that the FDE gas busters are a darker bronze now rather than 80s BMX bike parts gold. Though I guess depending on the build--something with 18 different shades of FDE--that might actually be cooler.
