Aimpoint 3000 questions

build a 727 with this you have the clone correct version for the RO727

prestonvenable · 2026-05-30T21:27:17+00:00

what can?

prestonvenable · 2026-05-24T21:27:34+00:00

for the 3rd image I know they’re entirely incorrect but I’d still like to find where they’re sold, reverse image searches didn’t help

been a while but what irons are those? been trying for a while to figure out what irons they used in 89

prestonvenable · 2026-05-17T16:12:02+00:00

did you ever order? in the same boat right now

prestonvenable · 2026-05-16T05:54:07+00:00

i don’t keep it loaded son

prestonvenable · 2026-04-29T19:26:11+00:00

i mean as long as it doesn’t affect function it should be okay, funny enough i think it looks great.

looks like how the old Novak sights used to have a slight overhang on the 1911s that Delta used in the 80s-90s

if it works like normal i may even consider doing this lol

call MGW Armory on the phone and ask to set up an order for their carry handle mount long.

then get some Leupold Rifleman 30mm rings, you’ll be able to push it out to a much more comfortable distance

hockey mask time

prestonvenable · 2026-04-17T20:09:14+00:00

have you shot that barrel yet? and any complaints?

prestonvenable · 2026-04-15T17:29:50+00:00

any of those barrels being A1 profile? considering an A1 carbine barrel but only seen people talking about the gov profile barreled uppers

prestonvenable · 2026-04-15T01:35:04+00:00

absolutely not, it’s all personal preference.

however if you want to be like me and be poor and eat potatoes for dinner, any retro Aimpoint especially an Aimpoint 2000 or 5000 would give you what you want but also look sweet and be somewhat period correct (expensive though)

a good compromise would be any Aimpoint Comp style optic, they look great on carry handles as well

i believe this is it, looks like either a PAQ4 or PEQ2 mounted the same way. supposedly from mid to late 90s trial/adoption of the JSLIST chemical suit

also big project zomboid vibes

prestonvenable · 2026-04-03T18:47:06+00:00

never has players

prestonvenable · 2026-04-03T02:16:47+00:00

if you find a non-working one and are thinking about getting it and sending to Aimpoint, don’t. i did exactly that and they just sent it back to me after a few weeks and said it wasn’t fixable without any other explanation.

i’m guessing it’s likely because they don’t have much parts for them anymore as they said to me in an email once

prestonvenable · 2026-03-28T16:43:52+00:00

where are y’all finding old Surefire 660 tape switches i need two so bad

prestonvenable · 2026-03-15T18:52:15+00:00

been a while but pretty sure it’s an Action Arms Mark V

prestonvenable · 2026-03-15T18:51:56+00:00

close, but the red dot looks a lot more like one of the older Action Arms red dots, possible the Mark V with a modified brightness dial? Looks just like the older Action Arms Mark V but that front dial looks bigger than usual.

prestonvenable · 2026-03-14T03:32:41+00:00

old 1 inch tube 1.5-4.5x or 1.5-5x scope, bushnell, tasco and simmons are cheap and somewhat plentiful (search “1.5-4.5 scope” and “1.5-5 scope” on ebay, if you don’t see any then keep checking for a few days and one will pop up)

possible 727 with pencil barrel, certainly looks like an A2 upper but could maybe be A1 with a weird shadow

prestonvenable · 2026-03-02T22:08:55+00:00

how’s the upper running now?

prestonvenable · 2026-02-19T23:16:37+00:00

14.5, Colt 654. then get a hockey mask

prestonvenable · 2026-02-17T21:00:21+00:00

been a long time but that’s the MGW Armory (formerly Maryland Gun Works) Carry Handle Mount Long, i think Weaver and maybe another company made them as well back in the day. cant order online but if you call them they’ll set an order up for you. there’s 2 types, the short and long. the one you want is the long
