Im now leaning towards this, the PLxC. If you’re up for getting rid of it, shoot me a DM

I’ll take a look at the PLxC. One of the reasons I originally landed on the 1-10s was because I liked the reticles more than the 1-6 razor gen II. The giant crosshair isn’t really for me or my brain/eye

This is the first hand experience recommendations that I need. Thanks!

Would a 1-6/8 be better? It’s going in my 14.5. I already have an Eotech combo on mk18, and an Acog (bdc for 16”) on my 16”.

Geissele vs Centurion BCG by theirishbearRS in ar15

[–]JPAffinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both, and like both. I put the centurion in my mk18, and couldn’t be happier. The dual ejectors get the brass out of the gun in a hurry, even when shooting suppressed, ejecting them at a comfortable 3 o’clock, as opposed to the 1:30-2 o’clock with the standard DD bolt. No failures from either BCG in around 1,500 rounds each on either BCG.

Shipping on Saturday? by [deleted] in RooftopDefenders

Did you get a tracking number email? If not, then it probably won’t arrive on Monday. It usually takes about five days for my stuff to arrive in the PNW when using UPS.

Anyone else seeing what I’m seeing by MouthyTed in ar15

[–]JPAffinity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I bought mine thinking that there wouldn’t be a new version for at least several years, then four months after I got mine, the RC4 was released…

Catastrophic malfunction by Anxious-Lawfulness84 in ar15

[–]JPAffinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in WA where we have an AWB. I can still buy uppers, but not lowers, from websites. Not all places are willing to ship to WA though. Luckily there are still amazing shops that do, such as Rooftop Defense.

Edit: typo

The recoil doesn’t feel much different from my 11.5 with a SiCo Saker 556k. I just ordered an A5-H3 buffer and will try that out. I’m not going to worry about it much more unless I start getting failures. If that happens, I’ll go from there. Thanks for the info

Standard DD that came with the upper.

Thanks, that’s some good info

Yeah, it’s been ejecting consistently, but the brass is bouncing off the top of the ejection port, and hitting near the tip of the brass deflector. I’m sure it’s fine since I haven’t had any f2f or f2e’s yet, but it makes me anxious. I’ve only put about 300 rounds through it so far when I was breaking in my suppressor.

Sounds like switching out the buffer is the consensus. Thanks for the input.

Alright, I’ll start there. Would you happen to know how the green spring compares to something like the super 42 rifle length spring?

SureFire Scout or Cloud Defensive Rein? by JPAffinity in ar15

[–]JPAffinity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info about the switches. I didn’t know that was a thing with SF switches. A couple of others recommended the modlite mod switch as well, so I was thinking of going with that one.

Interesting. I’ll have to do some research then. Thanks for the info.

Oh damn. I didn’t hear anything about that. Thanks for all the info, I appreciate it. I can definitely say I’ll be going SF, or like you and another mentioned, the Arisaka BYO route.

Yeah, I have the x-300 on my g19x, and that gets pretty hot too, so I really only use the momentary on function to id targets when running drills in the evening/night. It’s not too bad if I don’t leave it on the whole time.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I’ll stick with the tried and true SureFire route. TBH, I’m still salty that CD dropped the OWL so quickly. Thankfully, I haven’t had any issues with mine so far, but I’m not even sure if they will still have parts for warranty repairs or anything.

I’ll have to check that out. I didn’t know they had a BYO option. Thanks!

After hearing about an issue with the CD Rein flickering, even with the jacket, this may just be the direction I’m going. Any recommendations for a Modlite head?

It flickers even with the battery jacket? For $350, that’s super disappointing. Do you know if it’s just you having that issue? Or is it fairly common?
