I want an elcan
I don't even care if an ACOG is better
Elcans look cooler
>>30392053
I agree with you. it must be summer
>>30392050
I have the cheap LE Surefire in a magpul mount. It works, but it's incapable of using remote switches, has less lumens and isn't held on with a easy to use thumbscrew integrated mount, nor does it have the capability of swapping different heads.
The m600u is lightyears ahead of my sub $100 light, and I can justify the purchase.
Nobody told you to spend your whole budget on a light fampaidesu.
>>30392063
elcans cost as much as they weigh.
>>30392063
these prices wtf
>>30392063
They're okay if you won't notice $2,200 missing from your account, but there are way too many issues with it to justify the price in my opinion.
>>30392063
Okie Dokerino. You're choice, feller.
Anon post quality is abysmal nowadays.
First V Max for people, then Mk262 is shit out of SBRs, then .300Blk is shit suppressed, and now weapon lights are completely unnecessary.
What the actual fuck
Why is everyone so gay for 10.5" rifles when 11.5" is objectively better? Is it due to SEAL wank?
>>30392121
>Why is everyone so gay for 10.5" rifles when 11.5" is objectively better?
Do you go out of your way to ignore the fact that I preach the 11.5" gospel everytime I post this rifle?
>>30392063
>I want an elcan
Every single user review I've seen on here tells me that you really don't.
why don't more people on /k/ use BAD levers?
>>30392094
I know, it's terrible.
>>30392100
I agree, but for some reason I still want one because they're beautiful.
I'd get an ACOG before an Elcan, realistically.
But goddamn they're pretty.
>>30392121
12.5 is bestest
>>30392146
they're just so pretty.
>>30392132
Mostly talking about the rest of the internet and gearfags.
Also, why don't fiber optic ACOGs have back up irons?
>>30392112
as this anon said >>30392067
>>30392121
>Why is everyone so gay for 10.5" rifles
Pretty much just aesthetics or MK18 clones

>>30392160
of course I chose the picture without the barrel in.
>>30392179
Fortunately for me I'm too poorfag/ irresponsible with my money in other hobbies to afford an Elcan or ACOG, so we don't have to worry. :^

>>30392044
In for the LWH being a POS
>>30391847
>why is the LWH a POS?
First, coverage. Uses the same shape and size as the PASGT. Which means it'll hit the back of your neck and the ear flaps preclude even most low-pro earmuffs.
Second, the suspension. I'm assuming you're not fully retarded and got the pad suspension, which is a hell of a step up from the leather sweatband and webbing suspension (which is still in widespread use in the USMC), but it's inferior in every way to the pads in the ACH/MICH. No gel=no shock absorption (the #1 reason why Marines suffer traumatic head injury 3000% more frequently than Soldiers), they breathe worse because they're backed with plain old styrofoam, and they deteriorate faster because they're backed with plain old styrofoam. Also the chinstrap is proprietary and inferior to even the crappy issued ACH chinstrap much less the aftermarket H-nape or X-nape straps (I recommend X-nape if you're using monoculars as they prevent more side-side motion).
Third, due to the lip of the brim, 3-hole NVG mounts/shrouds do not work with it. You're stuck with the 1-hole traditional mount, which is less secure and heavier than the polymer 3-hole shroud while presenting an easy channel for bullets front dead center of your forehead. While some have been retrofitted with trimmed 3-hole mounts, they're both mounted too high and the structural integrity of the mount is compromised.
Fourth, weight. It's "light weight" only in comparison to its predecessor, the PASGT. It's still significantly heavier than the ACH/MICH2000

Only the ECOS has BUIS and fiber
>>30392237
AXTS has one that you can switch between 45 and 90 degrees.
>>30392333
hooray!
>>30392305
>v7
Kinda interesting. I was thinking about the BAD-ASS, but I'm not 100% sold. Also vagely debating the HK ambi selectors, but still looking for best overall.
>>30392320
>steel wool
nah, i use dremels
>>30392207
Now, for the actual weights since I left those out of these posts.
>all helmets are size medium
ACH (MICH 2000 standard cut): 3.0lbs
LWH: 3.1lbs with webbing suspension, 3.6lbs with foam suspension
>MICH 2001 (high cut): 2.4lbs
>MICH 2002 (mid cut/"commo cut"): 2.7lbs
>>30392333
Now eat it.
>>30392344
>AXTS has one that you can switch between 45 and 90 degrees.
Not bad. At the risk of sounding like a faggot, what is the perk of the 45 degree config? Does that keep it out of the way of the shooting hand, or is it just for Gucci looks?
>>30392344
AXTS also requires a lower cut specifically for 45*. However, it allows you to reverse the levers so your safety can go pretty much any direction you want.
Pic related
Finally got my light positoned just right. Took off the pressure switch tail cap and put the original back on.
>>30392372
Shorter throw, being able to use the long lever on the right side of the receiver without it hitting your hand, looking cool.
i've made some changes
>>30392372
It's just a preference thing.
>Does that keep it out of the way of the shooting hand
Usually, yes.
Some people like it because your range of motion is decreased and efficiency of movement is increased slightly.
I prefer 90 myself
>>30392382
>AXTS also requires a lower cut specifically for 45*
Does it?
>>30392411
make one more change
no, but seriously, looks good.

>>30392382
I'm picking up the SanTan Tactical STT-15 lower on Monday, and they say it's supposed to be 45 degree friendly.
>>30392396
>>30392419
Hmm. Length of throw never really worried me a lot, but the option to have a long lever without interference is cool. Thanks for the input, Anons. I'm still kinda preferential to the 90 degree, but I may change my mind. Maybe I should just get the AXTS so I can do just that. May as well get the Raptor while I'm at it.
>>30392433
why didn't you go with the warcomp of sf3p?

No, he's nice
>>30392433
What buffer weight/ spring are you using?
>>30392446

i need this
>>30392433
well, I stand corrected on that. That's only the BAD-ASS 45* selector that requires it.

I bought a can of brake cleaner and some Rustoleum Dark Forest Green camouflage paint. I'm gonna paint my handguard, upper, and lower with it and leave the stock, grip, and the small odds and ends black.
Blantently ripping off the guy who posts here with a similar rifle. Anyone got that image so I can save it for reference?
Also, what do I use to strip the paint after I inevitably get sick of it and want to go back to black?

Maryland anon finally has a scope, hoping to get to the range next weekend, I'm booked up with work until then.
Used a laser boresight and lined everything up at 50 yards so zeroing should be relatively easy yes?
Hey guys I want to purchase an Ar15 stile rifle. I live in California. Which one should I get. I'm totally new when it come to rifles. I'm debating between a colt LE6920 or an FNH fn15. Any tips would be awesome
>>30393127
just remember adjust sights center of the first 3 shot group
>>30392411
Did you custom paint that or where can I buy it?
>>30393127
I usually zero at 20-25 first then push it back to 100
Its usually a few inches off then at 100 and takes minor adjustment to fix.
Laser boresights are kinda a meme

I didn't even argue anything, some guy told me to get a better light and then off it went
I got this cheap ass one just to see if I liked having a light. And I do, so I'll be buying a good one at some point now.
Any recommendations for good lights that aren't ridiculously expensive? I don't mind if it's used as long as it doesn't look like complete ass.

And they let this Undermemefag at the throttle of it. :^

Heart.. broken... When was that?

Day before that pic was taken, took #5 with its sweet, sweet Lunkenheimer 3 chime down from bald Knob to Whitaker Station.

You can find Surefire M951s on eBay pretty cheap, and with a Malkoff head they're fuck-you bright, although still big and heavy.
>just saw that $680 RIS II on ebay from last thread
jesus christ how horrifying
Am I losing it or was this $150 last week?

Jesus, I was buying shit for it every other week for like a year...this is sad. I blame the A1.
>>30394234
Well, this just happened. I want one but with these prices, I think I'll just buy the upper instead.

a thin layer was damaged by the citristrip and i was able to remove the pieces and polish the tube with a high grip sanding wheel.
got lucky with that one.

Sounds like a sex act
>>30394270
Honestly $400 is about what I'd expect for an FDE one. I paid $220 for my black FSP model back in like November and even that was kind of a steal.
>>30394248
I don't blame you, it's a great light, although I will also say that my M600 Fury is better in like every way
>>30393110
any lights that are similar without being 200+?
>>30394302
Might as well have been.

I passed on one last year for $250 on EE. I'm still kicking myself but it's just money.
I guess I have to buy another scout light now

why have to 16" barrels? why not 18 or 20 inch on your top?
>>30393038
love your carbine man, what front sight is that?
>>30394310
I can't deny it isn't heavy and big as all hell, but it's hard to hate it when it's coupled with a Malkoff drop-in.
>>30394424
are there no cute girls where you live?
no cheerleaders at your high school?
>>30392179
10.5 ARs are pretty fucking swag, lightweight, high speed, low drag
>>30393377

>>30394376
I bet your light isn't even 1,000 lumens.
>>30393377
