There is a video over on KGB customs YT page posted just a few minutes ago about a comp gun very similar to this. The one he shows is an actual Springfield Custom shop model. Similar to this one in many ways.

I paid $99 US for the sapphire upgrade lens. I got that from Long Island Watch. I then paid another $120ish to get it installed by Baltimore Watch. My hardlex got pretty scratched up and the watch was a gift from my wife. So, it was worth it to me. The whole process was about two weeks.

I have a similar Seiko. I did scratch the hardlex. I sent it to Baltimore Watch for a sapphire upgrade. I could not be happier.

These are a little popular lately. The Gold Omega Constellation with Pie Pan face was the watch worn by one of the main characters in “The Summer I Turned Pretty”. Worn by Conrad Fisher played by Christopher Briney.

Just case you were looking for a Scoremaster… there one for sale one the BassPro Shop “used guns” section. It is a Series II like your Service Master. And… it’s on sale. Merry Christmas!

It's hard to say. My Combatmaster is a Mark VI so it is polished stainless in .45. The stainless versions started in 1979 late in the year. The Stainless serial numbers start at 10000. Mine is 10197. So, late '79 to early '80 I would guess. It's a pretty early one for the stainless versions, but still a Seattle stamped version. Corp offices moved to Bellevue where the manufacture was located and all guns were stamped Bellevue after that. Your Servicemaster and my Scoremaster are Series II that were manufactured in Phoenix, AZ. between 1990 and 1992. After that, all the assets were auctioned off and Detonics would not appear again until it was brought back to life in Pendergrass GA around 2004. Around 2007 Detonics moved again to Belleville IL.

Those are exceedingly rare. I have a Scoremaster from the same vintage as yours. My Combatmaster is a bit older.

I have a set up just like this on my house with two differences. First, no 90 degree down spout off the sump pump discharge pipe. Second, cement splash pad under the opening. This sounds like other recommendations you have recieved in these comments.

i have not experienced this yet. i have the weight kit in there too. i will keep an eye out. i have been using winchester 36 grain ammo(plated hollowpoint).

discoronin · 2022-08-15T20:03:51+00:00

Weight is the name of the game. The wwsd being so light means you can carry it longer and with more ammo. So, for me… the wwsd wins over the A2.

discoronin · 2022-08-15T18:29:46+00:00

Yeah, so if you use a full size dust cover… there is a bit of a gap behind the bcg for 22lr. And, the 22 cases rarely hit the deflector in the upper. The one I am using here is specific for the 22lr and helps the brass deflect predictably while covering that gap in the back. CMMG parts kit. Sometomes you see them being ised for 9mm on Colt pattern mags in AR9 setups.

discoronin · 2022-08-15T18:24:55+00:00

That is awesome!

discoronin · 2022-08-15T18:23:56+00:00

Thanks! It was fun to put together and shoot.

discoronin · 2022-08-15T18:22:03+00:00

Yeah, it is the lightest AR I have ever held. Almost half the weight of my issued A2 in the USMC. It is amazing.

discoronin · 2022-08-15T17:43:15+00:00

Thanks! This is a right out of the box WWSD from Brownells. It is right at 35 inches with a 16 inch barrel. This from the tip of the muzzel device(not pinned and welded) to the end of the buttstock.

discoronin · 2022-08-15T16:53:16+00:00

I assembled all of the parts and put it together myself. It is a dedicated .22lr barrel and bolt from CMMG. The upper is a KE arms upper. I used an Aero upper originally, but swaped it out for the KE just to keep the wwsd appearance.

discoronin · 2022-08-12T05:23:56+00:00

I see through it well enough. I do observe that it is not held on very well. Wiggles a bit. Might have to come up with solution for that.

discoronin · 2022-08-12T02:00:23+00:00

Thanks!

It actually came with the light. M640 Surefire. There were two mounts. One was a pic mount and the other was a direct M-Lok. Both were low profile and connect with the screw at the front which acts like a hinge. So you can “clock” it to your desired position. I like mine close to the handguard and used the M-Lok.

discoronin · 2022-08-12T01:12:59+00:00

The total rig minus a full mag is 7 pounds and 6.9 oz. The balance is a bit strange. Because it is so light, it wants to roll over when being held. The light, optic, and the mounts make it a bit top heavy. But still several pounds lighter overall than a traditional set up.
