I almost bought a 13.7 to run a kx3 with but it wasn't a factory 13.7 guy had chopped and garage rethreaded it.

I am building my 14.5 with pinned 5C1 and when submit an SBR stamp I will add a 12.5 upper and maybe a 10.5

all will be accurate tho. I don't shoot rifles much but when i do I want to hit what i am aiming at, and exactly where I am aiming

All this 12.5....



All my SBR stamps are in The AK realm.

I don't even have a SBRd lower:/




I think my next build will be a 12.5 in the exact same set up as my 14.5. Maybe with a Leupold 1.5-4 though.

I need to go 12.5 to get the barrel in front of a rifle length PRI tube.  I love those things and they will probably end up on all of my future AR rifles.

The mk6 with CMR-W is awesome. It's light, clear, bright glass, the reticle is nice. If not for the illumination issues, it'd be a perfect scope in my opinion.

I have a Mark 6 1-6x with CMR-W reticle and a VCOG with horseshoe reticle.

I prefer the VCOG, but they're both badass optics.

As already said, the Mark 6 would be nearly perfect if it weren't for the illumination issues without perfect head position.

And yes, I have a 'Y' serial numbered Mark 6 manufactured in 2014. It's been claimed that the illumination issue was fixed with 2014 manufactured "Y" serial numbered Mark 6's, but I can surely tell you that's not the case with mine.

The VCOG is a better 1x optic. More forgiving/generous eye relief, the illumination is perfect at any angle/head position - it's nearly just like an RDS on 1x.

On 6x, the Mark 6 is king though. Better ranging reticle, slightly better glass, larger FOV.

They both have their strengths.

I never realized how nice the FOV was with my mk6 until I started comparing it to other things. Currently have a TA33 on one of my rifle, and I feel like I'm looking through a straw in comparison.

I would consider the TMR-D too. The BDC reticles only match a certain load and in certain conditions. Good enough for large targets I suppose, but I think the TMR gives you the ability to be a little more precise if you range then dial as opposed to holding over.

The CMR has a mil scale in the vertical and horizontal, you can range and dial just like with the TMR.

I thought the vertical stadia had an odd spacing to match the bullet drop. I know it has the smaller separate vertical one off to the side with normal mils..

They've been down since late Spring / early Summer 2014. I spoke with a supervisor at the ATF earlier this Fall & she said they had no plans to reinstate eForm 4s anytime soon until they find suitable software or a fix to the current system. She said that they have diverted additional manpower to help clear the paper backlog & finish approving the last of the eForm 4s which I can't imagine there are any still in electronic limbo.

eta: Your friend was prolly referring to the eForm 1. Those are fast.

Yup.  I'm usually a fan of higher mag scopes (my wife uses 5.5-22), but this little 2.5-10x32 works pretty good until dusk.  Curious to see how the 42 stacks up in lowlight.

Gent's I'm now in the mini recce business

Leupold arrived today - killer little scope, seriously blown away by the quality and it wasn't a bank breaker either.



I'll get it mounted up this evening.

I don't believe you, and require photographic evidence.
