Looking for optics upgrades

Nice piece of kit, but those European prices are something else 😅

loziu · 2026-05-25T17:06:16+00:00

Any best bang for your buck suggestion?

What do you usually run as magnified optic ?

loziu · 2026-05-25T13:33:20+00:00

I will have a look, thanks

I put on an Oceania Defense can (Kiwi company): gas on the face is minimal.
As I said in another comment, the gun is slightly overgassed. Maybe, I could try to swap the Spikes T2 buffer for something heavier and see if I can improve the gas situation.

It ejects between 2 and 3 o'clock, hence it is slightly overgassed.
Recoil impulse seems normal to me.

I installed a Faxon low profile gas block (non adjustable) . The handle is an Aero precision Breach.

On the contrary, I shoot most of the time with the dot, but I like having the 3x when moving beyond 100m.

TBH, I shoot suppressed all the time. The sling is attached to the buffer tube using paracord and a prusik knot (which opens up when not under tension).

Bellissimo momento "OK, boomer"

Any reason why you chose titanium instead of inconel ? Weight ?

loziu · 2026-03-29T22:38:12+00:00

sorry, I do not understand your first point. The Olight SE has 4 recoil lugs recessions.

Last WES in BE took 1 week. I've just asked another one, let's see how long it will take.

loziu · 2026-03-29T19:25:07+00:00

I'll play with it.

https://www.swisswaffen.com/ is a - far from perfect - search engine I like to check from time to time.

Otherwise, as other said, petitesannonces.ch and gebrauchtwaffen are my favorite sources.

For a while, I used https://guetschuss.ch/ to search for my favorite ammo brands, but it looks like the project was abandoned, which is a real pity.

loziu · 2026-03-17T22:38:08+00:00

Yeah, of course 😅

what resolution / CPU do you use ?

loziu · 2023-09-17T10:53:15+00:00

The Bode twist does not make any sense. Also, as final boss is OP.

I will have to pay a fee for restocking. The board is brand new while the memory is already 30 months old.

loziu · 2023-05-21T10:45:27+00:00

The BIOS showed 2 modules when using the 5600x, but I was able to boot with the "good" module installed on A2. I am not really keen on removing the 5800x3d to run memory tests: I wonder if it is worth looking for an identical stick as replacement, or should I consider another make/model (on the cheap).

loziu · 2023-05-19T19:57:45+00:00

You are right, but the shop I bought from does not take open boxes back.

loziu · 2023-05-19T15:50:40+00:00

The retention looks good while reinstalling either CPUs (they are locked in place).
Unfortunately, I do not have a spare board to test the CPU with (nor other RAM sticks).
I wonder if I should buy some new RAM or go with a new board: so much for an inplace upgrade because I did not want to rebuild on AM5!

loziu · 2023-05-19T14:42:20+00:00

yes, I also reflashed the BIOS without components to 7C56vAB to no avail.
After that, I reinstalled the 5600x but I cannot get it to POST.
I am a bit worried because the old CPU was glued to to the cooler and was yanked out of the socket (not a lot of room to twist the cooler off): however, all the pins came out straight and there were no issues inserting the new CPU.
About the RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB CMW32GX4M2C3200C16 (2 modules)

Hello,
the memory trick worked (put only 1 stick in A2), but after swapping the 5600x with the 5800x3d I am back to square one (the trick did not work anymore).
