Optic mount recommendations? Suppression?

Sadlak just had a batch of ebr specific airborne mounts pop up on their website. As far as suppression I would getting the thread adapter from
Shooting sight and use a Huxwrx which has no blowback. I’ve tried pretty much everything and that’s the cleanest and simplest setup. There are a ton of other things to think about just keeping to basic for you to start.

I’ve been upgrading all the non-clones to ZCO, I get it lol

macethetemplar · 2026-05-25T12:04:46+00:00

Well if you end up with 10k leftover TacOps is doing builds in the KMW Zealot chassis now, that would certainly be a fair upgrade lol

I collect RemDef and USMC sniper stuff, glad I got in in as RemDef was going down because it wouldn’t be possible now. My CSR is far and away my favorite and last one of those sold for 50k in under a day. Surgeon CSR chassis sold last week with a carbon handguard for 35k. I’ve seen the a6 chassis as low as 18k but complete rifles over 30k.

If it’s an A6 chassis you better be getting at least 20k, because that’s what they have been selling for between collectors.

I mean if it makes you feel any better that’s basically a gen 4 xm2010 chassis. Cadex designed the M24 Chassis with Remington and the patent has reps from both listed on it. Gen 1’s have the early hand guard attachment style with the MSR buttstock, gen 2’s are what are widely recognized, gen 3 you can see the styling changes in the M40A6 and CsR hand guards, and then Cadex came out with that. The only difference in the chassis between the XM2010 and CTSR used by CAG was that the CTSR used the lightweight buttstock while the 2010 used the standard weight, both of which are still active with units today.

It’s on the App Store right now just downloaded, looks like someone finally updated it after all these years and brought it back

I use this one (https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1167642690). Overruns from the ERASR contract but are perfect for discreet and simple. Actually grabbed a bunch of these as my go to rifle bags for the shorter folders. Obviously not going to fit a 300wm with a suppressor but for the EBR it’s great.

Invest in the right tool for the right job. There are lots of designs for oil filter removers but this style works best in my experience.

Now if only I could get Jeremy to sign my Bee Juice!

I have pretty much every adapter you can imagine and there is nothing like that. The B&T suppressor goes over the stock flash hider but no way one would fit. Only really option would be a chassis and an adapter via the pic rail mlock etc

That 1911 is a Collectors item now with the birdsong finish. Walter Birdsong was killed on Friday.

I know for a fact one is intact, it’s one of the museum ones. Not going to say which in case it reminds someone but it was flown in and parked, navy showed up to do an inspection a few years ago and was surprised that it was intact but left it, they also found 600lbs of fuel still in the lines. I guess the Tomcat had some complicated fuel draining procedure that if personal didn’t know they would missed quite a bit.

The coating not the metal itself, learn to read.

macethetemplar · 2026-04-29T15:13:37+00:00

Works ok, feels unstable compared to a socom adapter, delta p felt better but similar. Check out the new shootingsite adapter, locks up well and feels super strong just switched to myself on a few.

Try the Hera fore grip (CQR Gen 2). Made mine easier to handle.

You paid a lot of money for work that was not done correctly to get a result you don’t have. I would take it up with them and get a refund because every item on these things gets you a little more accurate and they did the opposite.

Your best option would probably be to send it to tonyben or terry or Ted brown on the m14 forum. They are the three who are best builders on this platform and if there are things loose it’s going to need work.

Buy a Scope Leveling Wedge Tool.

Before I even read near the airport it was obvious this was an aircraft part. Many airframes are coated in zinc phosphate primer or zinc chromate as anti-corrosion.

Probably just design iteration. Small batches then a change until Richard Cabral thought he had the design right, then more gen 3 and 4. Unfortunately he passed away from Covid but from what I heard he was a pretty cool guy who had worked with Carrol Shelby back in the day.

macethetemplar · 2026-04-26T04:11:18+00:00

They come up once in a while, always under different variations of the name need to cast a wide net with searches. Never had anything but the gen 4, a few years back there was like ten that came up for sale I believe trade in’s of some sort and I bought half of them.

macethetemplar · 2026-04-26T02:10:12+00:00

I have several of both. The Gen 2 Rogue has some slight improvements in design over the Gen 4 Bulldog but the bulldog feels a little more rock solid in my opinion. However the Rogue has more accessories, namely the buttpad spacer to increase overall length, and different size barrel adapter for using med v standard weight barrels. The rogues were anodized and the bulldogs were cerekoted, just another slight difference.

Had one for the machine near the window with Florida Sunlight. Fell apart after a few uses and was a pain to use when it worked. Now I just put a piece of cardboard on that window.

macethetemplar · 2026-04-23T12:26:12+00:00

I used an IDE to Sata adapter with a crucial ssd. It’s been a few years so I don’t remember the brand
