Getting close to a non-correct Gothic Serpent build. Thanks to everyone who reached out. Unfortunately I had an A1 upper and CAR stock get lost in the mail, so the search is still on (although my dad has an A2 upper that he may be interested in parting with).
I think this is just something that I’ll work on and refine over time, ultimately with the intent of getting a more correct light and optic. I also have an AEM5, so appropriate collars and muzzle devices would be a big plus down the road. Attached File |

I want to say black ano was around then, but there are much smarter folks in here than I. Aimpoint 5000 2x, not correct. But there are many "close enough" optics in here that you probably won't catch any hell for it. |
|
|
If it is a special forces build the 1x 5000 is the only correct option. Some of the non-SF/Delta would still have 3000, irons, or maybe even 2000. Movie correct would have a CompM or M2
Edit: obviously SF guys would have irons as well. They would just have priority on the 5000 because it was a relatively new optic |

I did a bit of poking around, and it seems like a correct light is going to be pretty expensive. I was really hoping to have about $150 in it. |

View Quote The setup I have, which is a couple posts above, is a 660 with the barrel clamp, old permanently attached pressure switch and a malkoff led. $200 for the light setup and around $50 for the led. I’d recommend you look on eBay for a 6P. They can still be had for around $50 with the push button and then you can either modify that or find the correct tailcap |

How are we setting our Aimpoints up in carry-handles these days? Not sure I can stomach a $1K ACOG for this build, the classic ARMS #16A mounts have been discontinued, so the only viable path seems to be the ARMS #2 with a low ring like the old Aimpoint SRW-L mount. Of course, those seem to be unicorn as well.
Sooo... what's everyone doing? |
