... But if you have to spend $700 on an NSN you might as well spend $800 on a TA31.

Thanks for the link, missed the thread in the middle, as did not go backwards the first time from the broken DPMS wrench and had missed the name calling and technical discussions.
In the past I was concerned about the eye relief on the TA31 (had only seen TA11 before), however, after getting to try the TA01 NSN on a rifle decided liked the TA31 eyerelief fine w/o BUIS with a A1/A2 stock and possible ok with a BUIS (using on Colt M16A1 so changing receivers / stocks all the time is not an option).
Since has been an up hill battle finding anyone with in a days drive who carried the TA31 (if someone had a $800 TA31 on a table, would have purchased it a year ago)
Dropped an e-mail to several (not all) of the suppliers that I had asked in the past and came up with a big zero on in stock TA31s, and a price of $1K+ when / if they were back in stock ... and then primarly the TA31f.
One of these days will come across an under $1K TA31, which I first had though would be the perfect sight for the Shrike and looks like still have time ... [;)]
