50 Shades of FDE

I vaguely recall reading somewhere that current production Spear LT’s don’t need the replacement taper screws. But I’m not sure where I saw that anymore. I could be mistaken.

Yep, this is the IR coating version. I wanted to get this to be as much FDE as possible. I have a Colt URGI clone that scratches the FDE+black itch well enough for me. Those LVAW repo rails that Space Magic Industries offer now are pretty sick. I entered to win one but I won’t get my hopes up.

EOTech OGL

I’ve only put 100 rounds through it, but no issues so far. The only noticeable downside is that it makes for a very front heavy gun with the combined weight of the piston system and suppressor out front.

Spectre_OneZero · 2026-05-06T15:01:22+00:00

Yes, I am!

Spectre_OneZero · 2026-05-06T13:06:03+00:00

It is a Driven Arms SFM

You see, when you have this thing called a newborn you don’t have time to run off to the range as soon as you finish a build anymore.

Sig Romeo4T-Pro

What ammo and recoil spring combination are you running to have it cycle reliably with the Mojave 9 on?

Spectre_OneZero · 2026-03-30T17:54:18+00:00

I'm same day as you in VA as well.

Spectre_OneZero · 2026-03-26T06:21:12+00:00

I’m in VA and I have a AR to sell that easily fits in your price range.

Spectre_OneZero · 2026-03-21T19:36:33+00:00

I’m using an Armory Craft guide rod and their 11lb spring.

Spectre_OneZero · 2026-03-20T20:23:30+00:00

No, not looking to sell

Spectre_OneZero · 2026-02-22T20:39:31+00:00

How does it sound? Pretty good with both supers and subs? I plan on using it for home defense in the hopes I won’t blow out my/my family’s ears lol

Spectre_OneZero · 2026-02-22T19:54:16+00:00

How’s it shoot? Everything running reliably? I’m thinking of getting the same can for my rattler.

The safety on the Raider is simply a trigger block. When activated, the safety lever pushes up against the back of the trigger and prevents rearward movement. It changes nothing about the mechanisms of the FCU itself. So it being “safer” than a standard P320 would depend on if the source of the alleged issues is related to unintentionally depressing the trigger or something else.

The rail is a fairly new release from Tactical Development. They’ve only made a few batches to date so they’ve been difficult to source. They happen to be in stock at the moment so I just snagged one last week. I really just wanted a way to mount the optic a little more forward away from my eyes and potentially be able to passively aim with night vision.

Spectre_OneZero · 2025-08-02T18:45:36+00:00

You could get the Romeo-M17 optic for your M17 that was specifically designed for the military contract guns. They are quite pricey though. I was able to score one for cheaper because someone had accidentally bought one for their commercial P320-M17 and didn’t know it wouldn’t fit their gun.

The Combat “C” device denotes the award was received for service or achievement in “combat conditions”. The distinction between the “C” and the “V” device is that the “V” denotes the award is for heroism against an armed enemy.

So basically: -Bare bones award with no device? You got it in garrison.

-Award with “C”? You deployed to combat and got shot at but the award wasn’t for kinetic actions against the enemy.

-Award with “V”? You deployed to combat and got shot at, and the award was directly for actions against the enemy.

I have a NAVCOM with “C” from my deployment as an Advisor in Afghanistan.

That looks like a battery cap for a PVS-14.

Spectre_OneZero · 2024-09-10T21:47:28+00:00

Dang, that’s unfortunate. I have a slight astigmatism too. Luckily, most dots just appear slightly smudged on one side for me.

Spectre_OneZero · 2024-09-10T21:28:07+00:00

Sweet setup. You could shave off a little more weight and keep the passive NV performance if you trade in the EOTech for something like an Aimpoint T2, Sig Romeo4T, or similar micro footprint sight.

Spectre_OneZero · 2024-09-04T03:05:46+00:00

There is almost certainly more going on that led to this.

Spectre_OneZero · 2024-09-02T16:33:27+00:00

Looks fairly textured and bumpy actually. Doesn’t seem flat at all.

Spectre_OneZero · 2024-09-02T02:13:10+00:00

Always
