Nothing wrong with a "wrong scope", they just work a little better than the older "correct" ones.  15.1 Recce by James H., on Flickr

I’ve heard good things about the Eotech. Do you like it? Like @Eyekahn said in the mini recce thread, The NSW recce is the most eye pleasing AR pattern rifle to exist IMO. |

Like @Eyekahn said in the mini recce thread, The NSW recce is the most eye pleasing AR pattern rifle to exist IMO. Having 1-10x is way better than my NX8 1-8x. Don't get me wrong, Nightforce makes a good LPVO, but 1-10x is perfect for this rifle. I also have one on my 14.5 inch 6mm ARC Rifle as well. I have another 15.1 Recce build that has a Steiner 1-4x as a placeholder for now. |

That would have been great in the kahukus. |

I bit the bullet on a P&S M5, but replaced a few other things for comfort since it's never going to be truly correct. I need to get some tan rail covers, or hit the ones I have with some rapco tan, but unless the ACOG fairy crash-lands in my yard I think this is as close as it's gonna get. I may add a light at some point, just to make the rail farm worth it. But hey, the broomhandle is legit KAC Attached File |

Dude just buy a complete one. He even says parts are difficult to find and states all of them are missing the exact same parts. Engage critical thinking (If they're all missing the same parts, and parts are scarce, you aren't gonna magically find the missing parts in a quick google search) |
