  1. No scope?

     

    I want to replace my Gen 2 SRC XM8 with a Gen 3, but haven't seen the OD version for sale in any of my favourite shops...

     

    The scope is overall cute to look at, garbage to use. The irons, however, are dead accurate with a tuned in hopup so I found myself slowly wanting the scope away for a legitimate reason. I like that the scope is actually removable this time, it makes the process easier.

  2. Yes it is a Genereation 3 and it's brilliant! I love it. The only odd thing is that every external screw needed to be tightened. Aside from that it shoots very nicely, great feel and sound. Not whiny and very positive feeling.

    My one gripe is the limited battery space in the handguard. But hell, maybe I need to put some rails on it and get a PEQ box.

    There is, I guess, one more gripe, but it's just personal preference. I use single point slings on all my rifles and the rear sling point on the XM8 is in a less-than-stellar location as you can see in the picture where the sling is attached. I'll get used to it though :)

    All in all I'm very very happy with it. I am going to buy myself an EOTech 551 (or replica) to replace the scope, I'm not really one for magnification.

  3. I had an AGM HK416 for a while, mine was the first one in the US.

    You need to get the Madbull RIS Fix to keep the RIS lined up with the upper receiver.

     

    It was amazing until the wires broke, but oh well.

  4. ........dude i would if i could but my english is so bad that there would be so much mistakes in the review that you couldn´t read it good....i guess xD ....... i could make one in german xD ........you have to wait till there is somebody with good englisch with an 4168. BTW the performance anthe the feeling of the 416 ar simillar to the WE M4. The Finish of the 416 is quite nice....the only downer is the cooldown on FA .......but this problem is also known on the M4

     

    We can read German! You really should make a review, though.

  5. I don't mean to ruin it for you, but with that mask, it looks like you're very happy! :D

     

    But, I'm sure it looks better in natural light, with shadows behind the mesh. Looks awesome, man. How's it perform in under game conditions?

     

    It could be relative to the environment. He *could* look psychotic with fire all around him. Or he *could* just look happy because he has his thumb up.

  6. Hm, the rear platebag is a little funky compared to the Crye one.

     

    Well the back pplate area has a foam insert that creates that little block at the bottom. It can be removed and the back plate will look normal. I just figure the Chinese company put it in for a reason (probably only to avoid angry calls from Crye) so I don't want to remove it at the moment.

     

    I looked up all the pics of guys I know with CAGE Chassis, and none of the pics I found seemed to have any hydration set ups... one guy has some kind of small pack on there, but I'm not seeing any hydro tubes.

     

    Yeah it could be a problem. I think I'll try zip ties or just get two canteens for both sides (equal weight dist.).

  7. Unit, what's the problem you're having with hydration?

     

    If you can see (i don't know if you can) the back panel of the CAGE is robust and kind of, for a lack of a better word, loose. It tightens to the back when it's on though. Point is, I was thinking about putting one of those BHI hydros on the left side under my shooting arm and working a tube over my right shoulder. Sadly, when making the CAGE, Crye didn't make loops for the hydration tube on the shoulder pads. I am trying to work out a plan for the hydration tube. That it the real concern.

  8. Ha! $1500? I got mine from EBay Banned. Don't tell anyone, but it's REALLY WELL MADE. No strange spacing on the MOLLE webbing, no mismatched stitching, no crazy color differences in material. It's very well made and it's actually going into my new contractor loadout. I'm really pleased with it, it's build quality is real nice.

  9. An Armor Chassis? How is it? I hear they're very comfortable.

     

    It's the most comfortable piece of "military gear" I've ever worn. The padding on the inside makes the vest feel light as a feather when you move with it. I put military gear in quotations only because no one actually uses a Crye Chassis.

    I just need to find a way to keep a hydro's tube in place on the shoulder strap. I was thinking about using zip ties. Anyone know where I can grab (coyote?) brown/tan zip ties?
