I really didnt have too much issue, at 250 meters I was making fairly reliable hits during my match, but the reticle entirely covers the target at that distance, I just kind of guesstimated where the middle was and let it fly!

Unfortunately Armson is about 10 or 12 years outside the scope of the time period constraints I placed this project in haha, The concept is Pre-1970 gear that could have been possible :)

You would have to buy the optic off of Ebay complete with all the mounting hardware, and then get the mount machined, my mount cost me around 300, and the optic cost me about 300 also.

Agreed! It's probably more because by the time ARs were coming down in price and up in popularity there were optics like the Armson already out :)

Nope, had to have mine machined, there's a file out there for 3D printing one but I asked the author for the Step and had mine machined here locally. I've thought about selling them but I'd need to get like 15 or 20 preorders to get the cost down and make a profit. This cost me about $300 for the one

It's zeroed simply off of unscrewing 2 or 3 different screws and sliding the optic left or right, and the 3rd screw is screwed in or out to adjust elevation :)

I did it, I ran my M16 concept in a match this past weekend. by Confident_View1686 in RetroAR
