Hey all, I have a meeting coming up about planning ahead for future optics projects for our brand. If you've posted up "Hey, why don't you guys build a ..." in the past or if you have a really cool idea for an optics product, here's your chance! What is the product that doesn't exist right now, that you would want to buy with the Primary Arms name etched on the side.
And GO!

I think a clamp mount would be the best solution. The 5X has plenty of room for it.

I’d like to see the Expo line returned to its former glory. Chrome lined barrels and CMT rails for budget prices were nice. Now it’s losing the middle ground.
I don’t think many are interested in buying premium products at premium prices with the only difference being an Expo logo. |

We still have chrome lined barrels and they are on sale with deep discounts right now, so I'm not sure what he means on that part. Also, we still have lower priced, great quality handguards in our assortment that are also on sale this week (sub $100). Our new enhanced handguards offer upgraded strength and rigidity while providing a slimmer profile than the older generation. Yes, they cost a bit more but the added value greatly outweighs what we are charging, especially when they are all $60 off this week in our sale. |

@primaryarms
I'm really disappointed that none of your new prism optics incorporated a piggyback red dot ability. It really would require minimal work/cost to build in a mount system, even if nothing more than a good, round surface for a ring mount (though an integrated RMR/ACRO/MOS interface would obviously be preferable). Even with the Chinese origin of these optics, I probably would have purchased at least a couple of the 3x if I could piggyback an RMR, but as it is I'm stuck saving up for TA33s that don't give me the battery illumination option I'd prefer. |

A micro 2X. Another inch of eye relief on the 3X even if that means smaller fov. A 4X in the GLX 2X body with a built in Glock mos plate mount towards the front of the optic. |

I was looking for the 14.5 and it shows replaced by a nitride model. I incorrectly assumed that was across the board. The wedge lock rails are good, but I’d choose the CMT made Combat rails myself. But that does bring about a question. Do the wedge lock rails have the anti rotation pin, and if so, are your Mega made uppers drilled to use their anti rotation system? |

Can you make your microprism offset optic attachment in a 1.93 version to use with the 1.93 riser?
This is what I'm referring to. Offset mount: https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-mini-reflex-offset-mount-for-pao-microprisms-black 1.93 riser: https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-microprism-straight-riser-1-93in Since I'm asking for mounts, any chance of a straight 2.26 (unity) or 2.33 (KAC/ADM) height straight riser? EDIT: While I'm on a roll... All of the above also offered in FDE. |

Built in mrds on scopes. Similar to how Leupold used to have a cut out on the objective end for the barrel, but fill that space with an enclosed in the body mrds...just inverted so the cutout that was around the barrel is up and filled with the dot sight. 2 independent sighting systems, same optic. It works in my head at least. Not the best description probably.
Also a 1x micro prism with just a dot.... |

The SLX 5x will be the first PA prism I’m not buying and that’s due to lack of integrated mrds mount. Those bolt-on mounts, while creative are hideous. Don’t phone it in on the GLX PA. You can legit crush Trijicon if you put the work in. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SoVa: American Defense makes them now Yeah, but I don't like the AD-B2-C with only 1 fixed height/offset. The AD-B2-Std works, but overpriced at 40% the cost of the optic. Looking for one used, but no luck so far. A reasonably priced alternative from PA that allows use of all the original height/offset options would be nice. Perhaps even offer QD vs fixed in a full kit at slightly higher price. |

GLX 4x with an integrated piggyback mount for RMR/ACRO/AP micro- I'm not in love with the Mos solution as it requires another $30-80 adapter plate to work with anything. I'd honestly rather have an RMR footprint that would only require an adapter if you were going to something like a DR or acro.

I actually also prefer enclosed emitter, but there are a ton of rmr -> acro footprint adapters whereas idk of any acro -> rmr adapters. But this disagreement is why they went with MOS, except that IMO that's the worst of all options because it will always require purchasing another adapter. Hence my suggestion for RMR footprint as it is the most popular currently. Not a make or break for me, but not ideal. |
