All the estimated dates say I should receive them any day now but I'm not counting on it. |

Whats my barrel OD? Am I using a LW BCG? JP? Alum? Ti? Whats my buffer weight? Am I using alum lower parts in replacement of steel? Maybe your calibrated eyes could detect this? So let me know my spec list please. Then bet me and I will put up a pic. Its like guessing that jar of beans game. Surely your calibrated eyes will be right and not my listed weights! |

Surely your calibrated eyes will be right! Here guess how much this one weighs, bet you will be surprised: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/47980/Untitled_copy-1281162.jpg View Quote Edit: Magazine - 16 ounces (loaded) DBAL - 8 ounces Can - 14 ounces (maybe heavier? Ti can?) Light w/mount - 4.5 ounces Optic = 12 ounces (Ta33 with mounted RMR is 13.5 oz.) Thermal = 26 ounces (RA admission page 7 unless this is an ECOTI - 4 ounces?) = 5.03 lbs 9.875lbs (9 lb 14 oz - RA page 7) - 5.03lbs = 4.845 lbs rifle with sling How do the Ti and Al parts hold up to high and dense round counts? Internals to counteract a LW BCG and suppressed shooting (AGB likely)? Smooth shooter? Impressive build! |

Also, good luck to anyone who's optics fail and they need to use BUIS in the dark. Three methods of aiming and two to three methods of illumination is my standard. If you ever loose batteries on an Aimpoint and you have no weapon mounted Flashlight, Your BUIS is pretty much worthless. I think everyone should try shooting BUIS on a dark night without White Illumination. Not feasible. Again, shooting Offhand, One Helmet Mounted PVS14 and a DBal, shockingly easy to connect with targets. The only time I would choose to run the Torch and Aimpoint at night is to blind an Assailant at ranges that are 25m or less. So basically, inside My house or Surprise Entries and Raids. On the latter, Flash Bangs would be nice. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/484978/20200313_182007-1314292.jpghttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/484978/20200313_182200-1314291.jpg Nods is the best option but I assume 99% dont have them so a flashlight is the best they can do. I'd rather have a flashlight and not need it instead of just blasting away only to turn the lights on after and find out I ghosted a friend or family member. NODS suck when any light comes your way. Thermal sucks with high humidity. White lights can give you away without proper use. Get all of them? That depends on what kind of NODS You have.

Pretty good. Almost no ambient light relegates them to low value. Thermal usually reigns... |

Wtb: Wmx200 Rotational / Kac FF Rifle Length
"A Mk18 is a handgun with a stock" |
I'm not gonna lie to you guys. I just took out three identically setup SBRs yesterday. The lowers are all the same. Geissele SSP trigger, Spikes ST-T2 Buffer, and Sprinco White Spring.
1. Pictured above 10.3 with MK18 Rail and Closed Tine Flash hider (.070" Gas Port DD Barrel) 2. 10.3" Front sight post with a RAC FF rail and Closed Tine Warcomp (.070" Gas Port DD Barrel) 3. Geissele 11.5" Duty Grade Upper with a Closed Tine Warcomp (I'm pretty sure I measured this gas port at .069") <---- I think, I've measured countless gas ports in the last two months but I'm 90% sure it is .069" I honestly think that the best feeling setup is the 11.5". It weights almost the same as the 10.3" MK18 (check my IG @classifieddefense) but it a lot smoother. Maybe I'll swap out to a warcomp on the 10.3" and see how I like that. |

Pic of the aftermentioned 6.75” 300 blackout that would probably be my go to. Except I’m promiscuous, so I would probably just be as likely to grab the 12.5” Hodge I’ve posted before or the 10.4” 416. I probably should post those too since things have changed.
Only thing that will change is I have a Q Full Nelson that I just need to go pick up from the dealer. Then it’ll look even more LVAW-esque. Attached File |
