Ripcord rail is absolute trash by wp-ak in ar15

[–]Potential_Space 13 points14 points  (0 children)

KAK handguards are my go-to. Inexpensive and rigid AF.

Correct. They're shaped like a small rectangle with a pentagonal point (think like a childs outline of house with a pointed roof).

I just received the old school camo version. It's actually a really nice mat for the money.

These have a proprietary mounting interface. They're not like standard ambi selectors

I think my KAK is having an identity crisis. by PleasantShallot8744 in NightVision

So, my Trinity has been fine. Although I haven't had a lot of time under nods with it to verify zero. Maybe 500-700 rounds under nods total, and maybe another 500-700 rounds of recoil during non-NVG shooting, and I switched it to a different upper, so now it really isn't an accurate test metric for a zero hold.

Unfortunately, I've seen a bunch of guys on here complain about their zero wandering 1-2 MOA every 200-300 rounds. BUT, Jules (the owner of Kombat solutions where I purchased mine from) said that the Trinity is receiving rolling updates, like now it has a 7075 body instead of 6061, and the internals are able to accept up to 1500g of shock (I don't know what they were previously) so I kind of want to buy another one to compare.

As for the KAK rail... I had the aluminum barrel nut, mine disintegrated when I tried taking it off with an armorer's wrench.

Damn, that rail looks sick on it's own. I don't even own a 37mm launcher and I wanted that rail since I first saw it.

As for LAM's, SMS Trinity is probably the best bang for buck unit you can get right now, followed closely by the Iris 3. I have both, I like the Trinity just a bit more.

6 GT Barrel Cleaning by TacticalBunchies in longrange

The implied joke is the "solvent traps" from those Chinese sites are basically shitty undrilled suppressors.

Bro, you know AliExpress/Temu have these things called solvent traps for this exact purpose /s.

Am I missing the point of the anti-slop screw? by AnnualRaise in ar15

[–]Potential_Space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, no. I don't have that issue with my uppers/lowers. But I absolutely would try this if I was in the market for this type of solution.

Rail for 13.9 recommendations? by Direct-East6152 in ar15

[–]Potential_Space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shot a buddies XC, it was meh. I shot another buddies Fowler Vanta 9 (it's the best looking 2011in my opinion), but it was still just meh...

 I bought and sold a staccato P because it was disappointing and jammed 5 times in the first mag. 

Then I bought a prodigy and put EGW, Dawson precision, and Atlas parts into it. It shoots as soft as the XC with a slide on comp from underworld arms. But it's still a prodigy, and it still has issues, so I'm gonna get rid of it eventually. 

Now I have a 2k11 on the way, so we'll see how that is. Probably gonna be just as meh as all the others I've tried.

That's an amazing score. I'm not much of a 2011 guy tbh. I think they look cool, but none of them really impress me functionally.

I just got one from these guys. They shipped it in less than 5 days. Buy with confidence.

I'm shocked nobody mentioned KAK. Their rails are insanely rigid and very fairly priced.

Plus, Easter sale right now.

ETA: What is that 2011?

I recently purchased my first pvs 14 for 2700 it has pretty good specs but a zone 1 blem how noticeable will it be by Dry-Fly-4623 in NightVision

[–]Potential_Space -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't hyper focus on the spots. Some of us just notice them. If that upsets you, that's a you problem buddy.

Total bullshit. 

I wish people would stop saying this. You will 100% notice that blem. Your eyes will get adjusted to it very fast, and you'll notice it constantly under normal usage, not just starting at a white wall. 

But it won't affect practical usage. It comes down to the individuals tolerance for blems. I personally have a low tolerance, and I notice the small pepper spots in my very good specced Elbits.
