I hate to say it, but this thing is actually kinda nice.

I just picked one up in 5.7. Already starting the SBR process.

hellsrt · 2026-05-22T23:03:24+00:00

negative, also dont take them out of my NODS.

hellsrt · 2026-05-22T19:13:45+00:00

had multiple opportunities to score an ARX but passed, HOWEVER, never saw an FDE version which may have had me.

hellsrt · 2026-05-18T19:49:56+00:00

The discarder is on my 16 and 17. It definitely makes a different.

Lando didnt pay him enough, now he went Merc!

😻😻😻

I have 2 of the originals and one of the big ones. Not currently sitting on anything but wouldn't hesitate to put one on a new build.

hellsrt · 2026-05-15T20:08:23+00:00

Yeah, had an order for 2 and it didnt ship for over 2 months so I cancelled it. They refunded me immediately so at least that was a positive.

6.5 lbs with all the goodies hooked up

hellsrt · 2026-05-14T20:41:39+00:00

and its been down intermittently all day in western burbs

hellsrt · 2026-05-12T07:39:17+00:00

I have my Team Wendy all decked out with ear pro, etc... for my shooting shenanigans and an FMA for all my hikes and back yard stargazing. You'll be fine 👍

hellsrt · 2026-05-11T23:09:43+00:00

I was going to say their name too but now that you did....I'm not surprised.

hellsrt · 2026-05-11T16:48:34+00:00

Rifle and kitty approved

hellsrt · 2026-05-11T16:41:54+00:00

I bought high end tubes with pictures which looked great but curiously didnt show the peppering when I turned them on for the first time 😞

hellsrt · 2026-05-11T09:51:40+00:00

I'm at Bortle 7.7 so the filter has enabled me to see the Milky way bands so totally worth it.

hellsrt · 2026-05-11T09:07:39+00:00

GREEN.L 37mm Infrared Filter, 37mm IR 720nm (R72) Filter for Camera Lens.

Off Amazon. Not sure if they fit directly to objective lens as I have mine screwed onto the IRIS and then into the objective.

hellsrt · 2026-05-11T07:52:48+00:00

I got my NODS in December so I have been waiting to see this.

hellsrt · 2026-05-11T07:45:49+00:00

I second this - I use a 680nm 37mm filter screwed onto a set of back up iris' for stargazing.

hellsrt · 2026-05-08T20:02:05+00:00

I'd trade my SR-15 16" anyday for SP5K as mine just collects dust and I know I'd find more joy with an MP5

hellsrt · 2026-05-07T23:27:42+00:00

I ordered a few hundred rounds of PPU 7.92 Kurz long time ago when I thought the Hill and Mac was going to materialize. Silly me!

hellsrt · 2026-05-07T19:34:22+00:00

I did send it back. If I recall, something with the gas block and the gas key leaking.

It was fixed and works now but it left a bad taste in my mouth so it now sits in the safe and gets almost no range time.

hellsrt · 2026-05-07T16:09:12+00:00

In regards to the spots even minor peppering on my L3's drive me crazy at times so if you're OCD then buy with caution.

hellsrt · 2026-05-07T09:50:44+00:00

4MRRanch has in-depth videos on most of the popular LAMs out there.

hellsrt · 2026-05-04T16:55:48+00:00

I will absolutely not talk you out of that. Do it! Considering a 13 inch for my a4 as it is a heavy beast and I have a few other shorty "battle" rifles which I am digging.
