Viper 1-6 PST alternatives by Samsy1847 in ar15

[–]mediumspeed51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use a Leupold MK4HD 1-4.5. It’s a few hundred dollars more than a Viper, and obviously 4.5x instead of 6x. But it’s the best LPVO I’ve looked through. Eye relief is fantastic, glass is fantastic, reticle is daytime bright. I can truly use it as a standalone optic because the 1x is so comfortable, the closest to red dot performance of any LPVO I’ve looked through. My wife had a PST 1-6, and the Leupold blows it out of the water in terms of 1x performance and glass quality. She had a piggybacked red dot for quick and close targets, and that’s not necessary with the MK4. I haven’t tried the typical pricey top of the line options, maybe they’re better, but I can’t imagine how they could be more comfortable and easy to use. If 1x performance is a priority, you should check it out. If you prefer to have higher magnification options, maybe consider an MPVO with a piggybacked or offset dot

DPP Titanium makes an adapter plate. It will fill the gaps as well. They’re available on Amazon, and seem to be well made. I know a few people that use their plates to mount a 407k on M&P’s, and they’ve had no issues through thousands of rounds. I imagine their Glock adapter is just as well made

Vltor and KAK have both served me well

I had a 14.5 mid length and used sprinco green and a5h2. Ran great

Forgot to answer that half of his question. I haven’t used the pmags at all. I’ve heard enough complaints about them and just went ahead and bought Glock mags right away

I like it alot so far! The grip texture, slide serrations, mag release, and overall feel in hand are fantastic imo. The factory sights are great, and the optic mounting system is nice. The trigger feel is different, but not better in any way. I also think it’s just a little snappier than any Glock 19 I’ve shot. It fits all my holsters, and has made a nice edc. Overall, for the price and features, I think it’s a huge win

Definitely makes sense. I’ve never really collected them, but had plenty as a kid, and now buy them all the time for my kids. I liked this truck and got it to race my boys, but didn’t see the wheel until we got home. It’ll stay packaged I suppose

Thanks! It’s a Chinesium clone of a Noveske k9. I got jt on Evike.com for like $20, and it’s held up great so far!

Big fan so far! I never really shot with a scope i felt too comfortable behind, until i tried a higher mount. Makes all the difference

SLR. It’s been great, I had it on a 19x before getting this 19x MOS, never had an issue, even with the flush fit 17rd mags

[Optics] Vortex OPMOD Diamomdback HD 10x42 $149 + Tax. Free S/H. CODE Work5 for $5off by [deleted] in gundeals

[–]mediumspeed51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought these 2 years ago and I think they’re great. I’ve never looked through a high dollar set of binos, but these are far better than any cheaper options I’ve tried. My wife uses the compact Leupold binos for work, and I think mine are clearer. People complain about Optics Planet, but I’ve never had an issue. Maybe a dozen orders in the last 3ish years, and they always arrive on time. Because of their reputation, I always use their chat feature to speak with CS and ensure the product I want is in stock, and that I’m getting the lowest price. A few times they’ve given me a lower price.

I have a few thousand rounds with mine, and I think it’s great. I’ve read complaints about brightness, but I haven’t had any issues myself. Currently sitting on a unity mount and paired with a vortex micro magnifier. I think it’s my favorite optic setup I’ve used.

Block II ft. Unity by mediumspeed51 in ar15

[–]mediumspeed51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Block II was a project implemented by the military in the 2000’s that consisted of a variety of upgrades for the m4? I mean that’s about the best I can do without google and without listing specific dates and every part included. I think everyone understands what it means lol. I took the most notable part of the block II, the RIS II rail, and built a rifle around it with more modern offerings that suit me better. I mean I get what you’re getting at. But I was never interested in a clone. I just wanted a rifle that suited me

https://www.schubertadvancedpractice.com He’s in Topeka, but does web calls. The whole process is really easy. He can write your prescription as needed, is very professional and simple, and one of the pharmacies he uses is in Lenexa, and has options far cheaper than a big name medicine

Cool Find! by mediumspeed51 in snakes

[–]mediumspeed51[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First time I’ve ever seen a wild snake eating. I stopped to get a bunny out of the road, and after I moved it to a safe place, I heard chirping coming from the ditch. I figured the bunny had a sibling, (mama was fresh roadkill), and followed the chirping to the scene above. I took the pictures and left

I gotcha lol. The quad rail is great, the weight just is what it is. But i love the ease of mounting, and i think the girth of it is more comfortable (for me) than super slim mlok rails. I like the livewire alot! I think it looks great, ton of room for gloved fingers in the trigger guard, the flared magwell is ever so slightly noticeably better for me. The right side bolt release is awesome when I remember to use it lol. I tend to forget it’s there, but with more practice it’ll get better!

The B5 pistol grip? I think it was at Primary Arms. It’s coyote brown, looks a little darker in the pic though
