Greetings. Anyone running highcom 4s17 plates? Looking at shellback carrier with their iv 4s17 plates.

No, my plates are garbage and I have only had experience with ESAPIs

No I don’t run plates

I think highcom is supposed to be good, they’re NIJ listed yeah? Shellback is okay for entry-level stuff

Yeah NIJ listed

They've got some decent kits for around $400 right now with no lead times.

Decent-looking*

So long as they aren't steel and they're rated, why not?

Yeah.

Yeah, those look fine, although single curves will be annoying after a while

I'm not easily annoyed. Willing to give it a shot.

Meaning, they don’t conceal as well, and will hurt your shit a little faster than multi-curve. Not the end of the world, just something to consider

Pros and cons of running a thermal optic vs a standard one

Pros, you can see more shit in the dark. Cons, You can't see color and it can eventually start to mess with your eyes, and depth perception is pretty meh.

Also, batteries. you're depending on them to even be able to use your optic. Same can be said with some red dots too, but there's options out there that don't require batteries at all, or they at least last a while.

Really, it depends on your mission and if you can get steady resupply.

Thermal optics have lag

Can’t see through glass

Poor eye relief

Sparrow my baseline for a red dot is 150 to 200 minimum anything less is a range toy and not to be trusted

Unless you’re just like, hog hunting, I would go thermal spotter and then regular optic with analog NV on your gun

Or run fusion on your lid and a laser on your gun

I wouldn't use a thermal as a main optic personally. Not unless it's just for hunting, and night time. Great for spotting, that really all I'd want one for though.

I mean thermals are dope, but I use them for observation and identification, not as an aiming device

Okay, weapon mounted thermal for spotting or seperate device?

Separate device unless you have a dedicated thermal rifle like serious hog hunters

^

That would be my recommendation.

Hell, depending on how heavy you want that thing to be, you could put the thermal on an offset mount for spotting and then adjust from there. But that'd be unweildy.

Uhhhh

I mean I *guess* you could rig a FLIR breaxh lije that

Yeah... that's a possibility....

Sounds very call of duty lmao

Hahaha, screw it. Buy a Reap IR

With all that said, any reccomendations for thermal spotting scopes?

Bruh for that money you could get a pvs14 and a ecoti

Hahaha, I know. The Reap IR thing was a joke.

That's for them rich boys.

Just grab your PAS-28, throw it on the tripod on top of your spotting scope, hook it into your tough book, grab a 152, snag a satcom slot and stream it to the COC, it’s not that hard guys

If I knew what anything in that sentence meant I might have gotten the joke

Sorry haha

If I wanted thermals I would snag a used FLIR breach or PTS22something

Lmao, hahaha. Yeah, sorry.

Used Leopold LTO is very afforabdle for a having thermal capabilities

Not great res and range tho

As an ambi shooter I considered running a standard weapon sight and a thermal monocular on my "off eye" for spotting and aiming

That’s a possibility

Oh you could do that if you wanted. But the real problem comes in then on... how are you gonna aim?

Or are you planning on using thermals in day time?

Anyone need budget vests?

Using my off eye with the thermal to spot and using my other eye to aim the rifle

Just put in the Geissele SSA-E trigger and the LWRC skirmish sights (BUIS)

And I’m in love

Very respectable to both of you

I wouldn't trust a wish vest...

Posted this on the fb a while back but

@Deleted User People who would trust that are why i believe while heartedly in Darwinism

I tried out the flat CMC trigger, and that thing is beautiful.

I like the ledge CMC does on the bottom, gives you a really consistent finger placement

Oh yeah, for sure. It's nice, I have it on my 20" build currently.

But if I get a recce upper, I'm going to just use that lower. It's an Aero lower, so I don't have any issues with it.

@Sparrow I just got one of those. Waiting for my lower to throw it into

> I wouldn't trust a wish vest... @Deleted User That was a joke lol

@Abe Clark oh thank God

I’m not that dense lol

I just popped up on my notifications lmao and I was like well that’s fucking stupid

7.62x39

And my first paint job

Looks damn good

Good looking weapon, and I applaud the paint job. It blends nicely, and it's not stupid bright

Needs more rainbows and unicorns.

My only comment is uh... ewwww 7.62? You heathen!

Decent round, but that poor AR D;

Jokes aside you did a great job.

I love my 7.62 ARs. Nice paint job bud!

@XxWARGASMxX Yeah, the CMC trigger is great. Awesome for fast or accurate firing as the pull and reset is super short. With how light it is though, I don't know if it's what I'd use on a field gun. But who knows, I'll do some tests to see how it takes drops.

I wish Amazon sold jigs

I wish amazon sold everything

Oh how fun. I really like the looks of the P80 G17s

I’ve done at least 4 g17s

I love em.

You can finish with just a Dremel and drill, right?

Oh... you make some American?

Yep

P80s seem easy

They are.

Just have a steady hand

Oh... Lol

I'm not asking you to build me one... but, say if you're looking to sell one, I might be interested.

These are AR15 jigs though lol

I can serialize one and sell it too you

Unfortunately I'd have no way of knowing if my 80% lowers are in spec or not.

You do AR 80's too?

I do.

Okay, yeah. American, I think I'm interested in looking at one from you.

Still gotta FFL it unless you guys are close.
