It's somewhere on the Urgi thread, but the reticle is Bdc based and has different zero points for 556/762. Su-294s will have a locking illumination ring, similar to the razor's illumination housing. Sanitized markings and the ultramount is marked different and sanitized aswell. I really wish the locking illumination version was released commercially. |

Mock up before deciding to drill holes. I'm going to move the rail sections around like mentioned a few posts back. I also managed to bubba up the collar so I now have a replacement and the proper handguard tool on hand.
Airsoft scope has been a disappointment because of loose parts, so I'm at a standstill with this till I get a reply from the manufacturer about getting it fixed. If you guys didn't know, this is a 22LR setup so I'm not too worried about running a replica optic on it.

Bit of a random question, but could anyone measure the distance from the top of the handguard 12 o’clock rail to the top of the Recce rail on a PRI handguard?
Entertaining an idea that doesn’t necessarily fit into this thread, but the scope I’m wanting to use is fairly short, but still long enough that I won’t be able to mount it and my CNVD on the Recce rail. Just needing to see if the Recce rail is short enough to mount the CNVD to the handguard rail while still allowing the ocular lens of the CNVD to extend back over top of the Recce rail. |

What buffer is everyone running? Also ring height with the swan sleave? I picked up a Mark 5 3.6-18 with the CCH reticle and am going to throw it in a Griffin SPRM was planning on 1.16" height but wondering if that will clear the rail?

Another random question, this time SOCOM stock.
Does anyone happen to know the size of the hex head setscrew on the top of the stock just forward of the sling loop? I disassembled mine for Cerakote and lost the set screw and the little tabbed key that prevents the stock from rotating on the tube. Reached out to Doublestar, but haven’t received a reply and I’m not seeing those components individually for sale on their website or at any retailers. Obviously the little tabbed key is a bit more proprietary, so I doubt I’d be able to find one off the shelf at Home Depot, but pretty sure I could whip one up in the garage. |

That is going to VERY barrel specific. My compass lake is way overgassed and is barely tamed with an A5 and Lantac eBCG. I'll so be ordering a BRT gas tube with port sized for the before mentioned set up.

There’s a bunch of different ways to skin the over-gassed cat - AGB’s are one of them, gas block plugs are one of them, adjustable BCG’s are one of them,etc, etc. I have no reason to believe, based on data and sample sizes available via the google machine, that any one is more better than the other. Do what works for you in the setup that you have and enjoy not beating your carbine to death. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AWHAILYEAH: @5RWill how you like the C1 Max? I wanna put one on my bolt gun insead of the Sphur was wondering if it was worthy vs the Sphur? I haven't tested it or anything but just mounting it, I love it. 1.3" is a good height for the swan sleeve also. And have a spuhr on my bolt gun. I'm usually not one for unimounts on bolt guns but went with the spuhr on my Tempest/ATX build because of the chassis and honestly just aesthetics lol. Sort of the same for the MK12. I was between spuhr, griffin, and badger. Griffin was the original choice but once you go above the low height they have these recess cuts in them that i just couldn't stand to look at. Then spuhr while clone correct in some circumstances was stupid expensive per usual. I always wanted a C1 but hate and i mean hate how the C1 lugs stick out on the left side just begging to snag something. Which is why I have reptilia on my 14.5" with my Gen III razor Then realized they just introduced a C1 max that made them flush which while it isn't cantilever for the MOD H or an MWS doesn't matter cause of the swan sleeve and monolithic rail. I love it and will likely grab another for the MWS that I'm contemplating now. Do wish I could've found it cheaper but it seems like a great mount and I've never had issues with badger rings before. Will be eventually putting a 508x2 on a 45 degree offset mount. |
