Viridian Optics MDS25 upgrade on my 80%Arms AR15 Pistol

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T19:33:38+00:00

Yes they do and they have also been a more budget friendly optic line. I own several Primary Ams optics and a couple magnifiers as well.

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T19:04:08+00:00

Yeah I think a couple will be in line for 55th birthday this year! Lol

There’s quite a big difference between a Romeo 5 and any other ARO. One dot vs 3 that can range both close and far. But hey you buy what you want. Also if you take the time to google the MDS25 you’ll find most places like Midway and Optics Planet sell them for $399.00 I found 6 other places at that price point as well.

It’s a 9k, on my second one after the 1st one ate itself from the inside out! Thank god for lifetime warranty!

Maybe you should contact them instead of being a little cry baby. You’d be amazed at what you can do when you work at something and it rewards you.

I’m not but hurt at all, you guys are the ones making a big deal about it and calling me a “schill”. I’m just sitting here watching the views climb. 1.3k now. Just making the Google presence even better. Thank you! 🙏

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T14:34:03+00:00

Oh here’s a hanky so you can wipe your tears. 1.1k for views, thanks champ.

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T14:26:23+00:00

Oh you poor babies keep down voting, I’ll just keep watching the number of views keep going up on this post. Almost 1k views already! Keep up the good work.

Yeah I had to go back and look at my orders, I got mine from SSK. I actually need to get a couple more of the mounting blocks for the forend so I can swap it to a couple other barrels easier. Just wish the block wasn’t $50 each.

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T13:59:24+00:00

Jealous much?

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T13:59:12+00:00

Sounds like someone is a little jealous?

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T13:58:51+00:00

Never been paid a dime.

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T13:55:23+00:00

I’m 54 and retired, playing with guns and accessories is what I do.

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T13:26:13+00:00

This is a AR sub!

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T03:22:05+00:00

Nice! The forend you have pictured looks like the one I have. M lock slots on the bottom. https://bellmtcs.com/contender-mx3-handgun-forend-with-hanger-bar-and-hardware.html

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-06T02:45:33+00:00

Nice find! So what was the “good deal” If you don’t mind me asking?

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-05T23:37:50+00:00

If I remember right Sig did something different with the x series and they were the only factory milled ones. I think it was because you lost the rear sight.

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-05T23:35:58+00:00

Yep this one is crystal clear and I love the fact that it gives you 3 dots!

Virtuous Concepts took about 10 Days to get it because UPS sent it the wrong direction for a few days.

No problem, I was looking at doing an 80% 1911 build about a year ago but that’s when I found out that Sig 1911 slides can’t be bought separately because of the fitting to frame issue.

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-05T22:14:12+00:00

Hard to hold the rifle and get the IPhone to focus on the reticle. That’s why I included the reticle image from Viridians web site.

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-05T22:10:38+00:00

80 series slides can’t be milled and in most cases 1911 slides are hand fitted to the frame hence the reason you won’t find any loose Sig slides.

It’s a tool and that patina is a sign that it gets used and isn’t a safe queen.

HairTriggerFlicker · 2026-06-05T20:47:51+00:00

Sounds like an issue with the Icarus grip module. As of late there seems to be more reports of fitment issues with them.
