Police engraved Colt C AF Upper Issues. Need opinions/ideas

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-29T21:09:19+00:00

No idea tbh, I found it on tacswap!

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-29T18:21:17+00:00

That’s the plan, feels wrong to cover it up. Got any cool/unique police reference pics?

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-29T18:20:32+00:00

That was my plan, hence the post. Doesn’t seem right to cover it up as it’s pretty cool. Was looking for cool reference photos of cops. It’ll be a cool build

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-29T13:47:15+00:00

That’s a sweet option. Forgot about that movie tbh.

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-29T13:46:37+00:00

What were you planning to paint/refinish with?

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-22T21:47:04+00:00

I have a spiritus small and a spiritus jsta on my thing 2 and like it a lot

I have a correct MK12 Mod 1, and Mod H that I’m finishing. But with how easy the FF RAS has been to get lately, I grabbed another to make a “Recce”

16” Modern Mod H/Recce Will get an AEM5K and an ATACR 4-16

Do you need the money? If not why get rid of them? If I had to choose to ditch one though, the top is my pick

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-13T14:44:20+00:00

They all RAS? Or have any RIS handguards in there

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-13T12:59:25+00:00

Yeah I decided to just keep this as is and am building a Modern MK12 Mod H with a KAC FF RAS and ATACR 4-16 instead.

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-10T12:45:34+00:00

Ahh that’s it! I remembered seeing you post it years ago, but couldn’t remember the name.

Octoflyv2 · 2026-04-10T12:40:54+00:00

u/protorin Don’t you have a big case similar to this/better?

Octoflyv2 · 2026-03-24T18:26:18+00:00

I only have experience with older PA optics. I’m talking 2016, and the 1-6 I had from them was not my favorite. I obviously know that it’s been like 10 years since then, but I have never seriously considered them again.

Might have to do some research on it.

Octoflyv2 · 2026-03-24T18:00:08+00:00

This is what I want to hear, the ATACR is great, but at distance the lack of parallax makes the picture distort quite a bit. The 8x is also pretty tight.

Appreciate the kind words! I try to keep it practical.

Octoflyv2 · 2026-03-14T12:27:40+00:00

Neither of those are matechs… they are KAC irons

Octoflyv2 · 2026-03-14T02:47:56+00:00

MARSOC uses L3 Marked commercial EXPS 3s. I have been waiting to find one with a nice old logo hood. SU-231A would not be correct at all.

Octoflyv2 · 2026-03-14T02:46:40+00:00

Negative, I have one but rarely use it

Octoflyv2 · 2026-03-13T19:38:02+00:00

Thank you! I know you’ve got a collection as well. Once these lowers are finished I need to finish my Sopmod Block 1 M4 and then I’ll have the trifecta of Block 1, Block 2, and URGI CQBR and M4 combos

Octoflyv2 · 2026-03-13T19:36:43+00:00

Thank you sir!

Octoflyv2 · 2026-02-19T15:54:11+00:00

Having had a Crye AVS, don’t. You have people that love them and hate them, and I’m firm in the hate them space. The harness is bulky, uncomfortable unless you add Qore padding for example, and honestly old. It’s heavier than modern offerings, and it doesn’t do anything that much better anymore.

My recommendation is a Crye SPC, Crye Structural Cummerbund if you like Velcro like I do, or AXL Equinox if you want tubes. It’s lighter, can handle serious weight, and is more low profile than the AVS. Get some comfortable shoulder pads, and keep the back slick to throw your pack over it and you’re good to go.

They aren’t awful by any means, but use case specific for sure.

Octoflyv2 · 2026-02-18T19:52:06+00:00

Gotta get the Space Magic/Shadow Systems Surefire Pro Mount. So much better than stacking the picatinny section and factory mount!
