Souske Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) I also found mounting the light further back resulted in the barrel obstructing the sight picture from the light. However, mounting it further back doesn't make it as front heavy (esp. for longer rifles like the M16A4)? ---- My paint job was wearing off too much, so I did an impromptu paintjob with some extra netting I had laying around. The paintjob isn't as clean as I would have liked it to be, but it works what I need it for. More importantly, I finally finished my final 'prototype' can. I won't go into details, but it's kind of like 2 of my older cans merged into one with a lot of material in it...and it works like a charm. Currently, this is in the DMR setup.

Batou-san Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Seriously, the weight of a light at the end of a gun doesn't make that much of a difference. If such a small difference affects the shooter, he should be carrying a smaller rifle Link to post Share on other sites

Crandall Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Ohh Souske, I liked it far better with the partially worn paint job Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Ohh Souske, I liked it far better with the partially worn paint job <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ha ha, so did I, but it got so worn to where the bare silver from the receiver was showing through a lot of places. As for the where, it'll eventually get on there, so no worries. Link to post Share on other sites

Milla Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) Well since my PEQ broke (the piece that bites the RIS cracked so it wont secure) I went with the SWAT look. I'm getting another rear wired M4 to look like the last configuration (minus the PEQ thank god) And my super bright Surefire Z2 Combat light is now attached via barrel mount Also what rear sight you like best on this config, the one from the first 3 pics or this one? I think i like this one better ^ Edited November 24, 2006 by Milla Link to post Share on other sites
Lithium Jack Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I think I prefer the flipup BUIS. A lot less unobtrusive IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites
trfo2o Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 yea me too although I think having the front scope cover should be turned 180 degrees to match the rear one. IMO gives me a beter view of my surroundings and makes the aimpoint seem smaller. Anyway both set ups look really cool, I was gonna do the same with the G&P M4 I sold to BRGOLD a while ago. Now I have a G&P CQBR. And I highly recommend one of those if you get the chance to get another gun. Link to post Share on other sites

-ZeroTwo- Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 All of those are nice Milla, an SPR will look amazing with your RBV too. I think the solid BUIS is nicer with that config, and the Arms 40 replica is better with the PEQ. Link to post Share on other sites

Milla Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Milla, would you mind telling where you got that mount for your light? Been shopping for lights recently after my first night game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I got mine off e hobby Asia, but they don't have it anymore, so goto uncompany.com and search in mounts i believe. Here are the codes, you can just paste this in their search G&G G-03-015 G&G G-03-016 Mines the Second one. Link to post Share on other sites

mremerica Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Milla, Personally I prefer the cut-down BUIS look, try mounting the Aimpoint a couple of notches further back with that on, and I think that has a very nice look. Good luck on the SPR, they look amazing when done nicely! Link to post Share on other sites
mremerica Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 On the subject of Armalites, a few new pictures of mine with Crane stock and Rico: A pic with some gear: Heres a tip, dont buy a star crane stock. Right pain in the *albartroth*. Had to resolder the battery that came with it, because the genius testing department at Star didn't think to bother to test the resistance of the thin pieces of tin they use as wire along the side fo the battery. Turns out they can't pass any current through them at all, so it would be more helpful using string. Anywho, here after much swearing and duck tape is the battery! Any comments appreciated, but I think shes just about done! Link to post Share on other sites
