Lol my light was in a bad spot and I couldn’t take off the suppressor. I have since moved it. All I own are 20” and 16” barrels. Need to get something light and handy with a dot.

This is my go-to for SD/HD.
Just recently I've gotten into helmet mounted NV so I've added a LAM and will be either swapping optics or getting a riser for the eotech. I really like the XPS2 even under nods, but I've got an aimpoint PRO that would work well for this rifle too. Attached File Attached File Attached File I've had a TA31, PST II and a couple different dots on it and I've come to settle on just a dot/holo for my needs.

Unless I'm confused and your helmet is facing away from the camera, your flag is backwards.
It's a nice rifle, but all I can see is the flag |

View Quote I've thought about replacing that light for a long time (even when the gun was a more budget beater). It just refuses to give me a reason why I need to. It's the perfect size for the gun and it refuses to break. I keep hoping, but so far nothing |

Originally Posted By MRTEX: @stowe sweet setup. I’m working on something similar! 12.5? View Quote It's an 11.5. I'd like to have gone 12.5, but I bought the barrel to replace an 11.5 and it fit the handguard so good I couldn't bring myself to add that inch. Then I ended up building a whole new upper for it anyway and could have gone 12.5, but it was too late. Oh well, I like 11.5. Balances beautify with the can. Even without a mag in it the balance point is right at the front of the magwell. |

@ArizonaRifleman - I caved. I have a Surefire mini turbo scout inbound. I'll bump the streamlight to my kid's AR. I've been contemplating buying a new light for mine and giving him mine for like 6 months. I guess today was the day

I would have suggested the CD Rein 3.0 blemish going for $299 right now but that'll work too Let us know how you like the Turbo. |

I have a regular cloud rein and really like it. If it wasn't so big it would probably be on this gun. I'm sure they've gotten more compact since then, but too late now

I just love my DD MK18. The Mod 0 is newer to me and feels better tuned with the gas but it's an older style of build and you feel it. It's a good half pound heavier than the Mod 1. Really any of these are great. I love these three rifles. View Quote All very nice. If the DD is your thing, swap optics and put the acog on there. I played musical optics a couple of weeks ago and I think it really made everything fall into place. I swapped optics between 3 ARs and I think in the end they're all better for it. |

View Quote I've actually got a spare ACOG with RMR that doesn't have a home currently. I think if I did put the bulkier optic on my Mod 1 it might ruin it for me. I love the lightweight nature of it currently at well under 8 pounds fully kitted. Someday I'd like to try at 10.3" with a lightweight profile barrel and a slim lightweight MLOK handguard. |

I have extra Trijicon ACOG's of various models, extra different types of Aimpoints, and post drama Eotechs for doing exactly as you've described.

Get an Aimpoint M5B or a t2 and move that 10.3 to an 11.5 and you'd haver something very special, more maneuverable, and with better ballistics. View Quote I've got an 11.5 KAC CQB Mod 2 with an Eotech that is close to that. It's lovely. I don't have the rounds on it yet but there's something special to me about the 10.3" builds that doesn't reflect the specs, etc. They just feel right. Also my G Doody is an 11.5" but it's got the ACOG on it. I like it there. Weight wise it comes out exactly the same as my Mod 0 but I'm using older heavier parts on the Mod 0 because I want that look. |
