    Doesn't change the fact that it looks wrong ;).

    .... nope, looks right. I'd agree if you were talking about an RD or a reflex, but definitely not an ACOG. If it were farther forward, it would look wrong. You have to consider eye-relief when talking about a magnifying scope's placement.

    Neotilaf : Great gun! Replace that piston-head #14 o-ring first chance you get. G&P slack on thier o-rings from the factory. Considering the rest of thier internals are top-notch, that's a small issue, but you'll see great results as far as upping your velocity.

     

    Again, really nice gun.

    Yeah, I was thinking that's what he meant, just want to be clear. I seriously think it's an issue with the clamp.

     

    I'm not sure about that particular RAS, but the clamp that retains the top section to the gas tube should keep any excessive rotation from happening. That is, also if the gun has a gas tube, which I have seen some that lack that feature, but depending on the make of the RAS, it may have a gas tube included with the kit. (i.e: G&P)

     

    Or...

     

    The clamp is secure but the front sight tower is loose or too far from seating against the retention plate and cinching the RAS, that could cause the rotation.

     

     

    Edit, Sorry Tommygun, I was too slow. heh. But it's good to know that difference, I was under the impression both had the clamp.

    That's odd, if the RAS is clamped to the gas tube, it shouldn't rotate even if the 'cap' is too big. What do you mean by cap btw, are you talking about the handguard retention plate (at the front site) or the delta-ring (at the receiver)?

    I usually recommend not buying a retailer custom gun. Through my conversations with people who have bought them, they seem to never be re-assembled in just a really quality manner and we've found them to incur problems rather frequently.

     

    Redwolf, however, I don't know about. I think I heard about 1 that failed rather quickly due to shotty re-assembly. Most of the custom retailer guns that have issues in our experiences are WGC guns and custom guns like Airsoft Surgeons.

     

    But the amount of issues that arise have put myself and others off of buying retailer customs altogether and we now focus on upgrading or customizing on our own.

    LOL I clean my rifle every time I shoot it. It doesn't mean the design isn't faulty and it doesn't mean its infallible. But a combat weapon shouldn't have to be cleaned every 100 rounds. The last live shoot I went to I had to clean my AR repeatedly just to keep the damn thing feeding. Maybe I'll try using that Lake City Ammo Cheaper Than Dirt has...

     

    The design isn't faulty, and NO gun design is infallible. And I see we've moved from every 3 rounds to every 100 rounds now. Interesting.

     

    If you had to clean your AR so much, you must have either bought a home-made gun or you damaged or screwed it up yourself.

     

    Every time I shoot my AR, I put at least 240 rounds through it (8 full mags) and still no jams or misfeeds. As a matter of fact, I've never even used my bolt assist.

     

    Anyway, bashing a particular make of gun, especially in a picture thread, is senseless, I'm sure there are plenty of other places where you can do that.

     

     

    Awsome looking gun BTW medic23.

    It's funny when they say that though, it shows who knows and who doesn't, and who has fired them and who hasn't. In my time in the Corps, and out of the Corps owning my own AR (a total of 20 years) I have NEVER had an M series or AR jam or misfire once. Not once.

    It looks awsome, but that's not the right RAS for a standard issued M16A4 MWS. You'd need an M5 RAS. The side rails don't span the entire length of the system as yours does. Not that that's a bad thing.

     

    The SAM/R has rails all the way but it's a free floating system.
