Every other company that uses hex screws uses the same shitty YES screws from the same bulk maker, Torx will always be superior nigger. Ive used the same torx screws on my arisaka mount taking it on and off for years and they still work fine. Literally anything made in the past 5 years is all torx now or moving to torx. Even wood screws are torx. I can't imagine using anything else with modern manufacturing now.

Planning to make a 2nd SBR. Should I go for the boring DD block 2 upper? Current SBR is 10.3"

ive a question for someone thats handled both ak and ar or atl wont just shill the ar as better

is the weight balance of the ar from its buffer tube good or bad? you lose foldable stock but the weight is pushed backward and this allows for a heavy barrel and short stroke piston up front without messing up balance. with a telescoped bolt like the scar, ak, bren, hk433 this might be too heavy.

but also having the reciprocating mass "out there" might make it easier to control (esp in auto) but slower to point
i think in general the light and rearward moving mass of the ar makes it better for single shots while a compensated 5.45 ak is really known for its two shot burst usability. more mass and more forward.

Both are very soft shooting, AK slightly heavier and more difficult to deal with optics. Any AK+optics will feel more awkward than a carbine or mid length rail AR
I go a different way with monolithic meme machine that's more front heavy but still not as tedious as an AK with dot+light. AR et al much easier to squeeze out better accuracy
The death of 7.62 and 5.45 really shit up viability of the AK for a 'buy only 1 rifle' mindset

I've got close to 5000rnd underneath the chink NGAL. No issues at all except that the laser doesn't hold zero better than 3-5 MOA, but given that the laser is more for signalling or at worst NVG gas mask work indoors/CQB where a headbox is 85 MOA and a torso A zone is like 175 MOA, it doesn't need to hold zero. The Chink ngal meets the functional requirements, while looking correct on the clone gun.

Good question. They used to. Probably stopped because they were getting their lunch eaten by people building functionally superior setups by combining their body with Modlite heads.
Typical shit behavior to create profit not by providing the best product at the lowest price, but rather by controlling markets and supply of the truly valuable components of their product, to force you to buy the shit components as well as part of a package.

SiCo is still trying to do this faggotry with their Charlie mount bullshit. At least the Irregular Hesychia has a novel truly increased function integrated mount setup. The ASR isn't even good. That being said, Irregular still released their Hesychia suppressor with guess what... a hub mount, because only those already with capital and some degree of market capture can afford to engage in the nonsense that is "ecosystem packaging" to force the consumer to pay for crap value to get a small bit of good value, all at the profit (which isn't the problem inherently) of the company. The problem isn't profit, it is non-ethical lack of respect for sovereignty in the abstract moral sense.

>Absolute cope
3-5 MOA zero retention is more than adequate for 85-160 MOA POA precision requirements. That isn't cope, that is objective math.
>standalone IR illuminator
At the time of the build, and I think this only just changed in the past week with the new Holosun release, there was no option for a continuously adjustable focus IR illuminator. There was the Kiji, but that setup starts at what, $650 and goes to $850?
Also the laser is useful for signalling etc, and even the visible laser has uses also. Plus once again, there is nothing wrong with trying to prioritize looking cool/clone as well. The Chink NGAL checks all the boxes. Cheap, light, continuosly adjustable IR illum with different two different power levels, IR aiming laser with two different power levels that retains zero well enough for intended application (CQB, signalling), visible laser that also retains zero well enough for intended application (CQB, signalling, deconflict, less lethal etc), and yes, I like that it looks cool and fits the clone aspect of the build.

I have beginner experience with both gas mask stuff, and NVG stuff, CQB. Haven't combined em yet, but it isn't that difficult to conceive of.

The chink ngal has held up to the use requirements I have for it. Over 5000rnds on it, 3500 if not more being FRT fire, plenty of heat. Cold and hot environments, a solid course, a field exercise, many a range day. They also have been thoroughly reviewed and durability tested by others, and basically everyone agrees, the main issue is zero retention and water proofing, which a bit if silicone in the power stop screw holes fixes.
Not sure why you're so mad about this topic? What do you use for IR lasers and illuminators?

I'm going to abandon them all together, but they're pretty far down the list at this point for aiming solutions at night. Similarly actually IR illumination has been pushed down the list thanks to the proliferation of thermals. Passive enhanced detection is definitely superior to active emission enhanced detection. Like okay maybe you're in B tuns, and you don't want to be looking through a thermal for super low light detection due to FOV restrictions... I would argue that even shit ass tubes even in extreme low light situations like a fuggin tunnel, offer enough detection to function well, mainly thanks to the close ranges that such environments present.

Hey man don't get me wrong, if I had $4000 to blow on an IR illum/aiming device that is 3rd down the list of priorities for detection and aiming... I guess I might buy a real NGAL. Might though. If I did have that kind of money, I still don't think I would spend it on an IR illum/LAM. Lot of other stuff I would prioritize. A lot.

>>64766184
I've been in some relatively dark environments with Gen 2+ tubes, and sub 50-75m, you can make out a human form just fine, and whatever benefit true gen 3 tubes have, is marginal compared to the benefit of active IR illlum, so the real issue you should be pointing out isn't shitty tubes vs good tubes, it is IR illum vs none.
I'm confident that that situations where somehow gen 3 tubes allow you to get away NOT using IR illum but gen 2+ tubes would have required IR illum... Are exceptionally rare, if existing at all.

Lol you yourself just said above "Cheap COTI is here now". Prioritizing super nice tubes doesn't make sense, when you're not going to be relying on the tubes for detection. Gen 2+ tubes do just fine for making sure you don't walk off a cliff. Gen 2+ tubes do just fine for identifying a person vs a trash can sub 100m as compared to gen 3 tubes.
Hey man look I've got 2200 FOM white phos, so don't get me wrong, but I would argue most are way better served spending $3500-$4500 for some Gen 2+ binos and then spending $1750-$3000 on a COTI or COTI+handheld scanner, than they are blowing the equivalent amount of super high spec Gen 3 tubes, or just even paying the gen 3 premium over gen 2+.

And this is why the primary purpose the chink ngal fills is IR illum... and it has done so reliably, not just for me but for many others, with totally acceptable durability and longevity.
I'm waiting on Surefire (or anyone for that fucking matter) to release an updated 340V head that has threads for 18350 bodies and maybe a bit more visible light candela and lumens. I like IR illum. I value it. I think in the past 2-5 years long range adjustable focus IR illum has been supplanted by thermals though. But as I said earlier (reading comprehension), close range IR illum (B tunnels) is a pretty niche use-case, and at these close ranges IME you can detect pretty well even without additional IR illum just by virtue of the total NIR emission captured by the optics. Yeah maybe there is an intermediate range 17.5m-42.5m where the FOV restrictions of most thermals would be too problematic, but that passive NVG detection would perform too poorly. To that I respond, where the fuck has your situational awareness been that you weren't effectively thermal scanning and detecting prior to closing that distance with opposition, or what silly end of days dark walmart are you in? I live in literally the 6th least populated state per sq mile in the union. I've been out in the dark before. Gen2+ tubes binos and a multi use thermal with a chink IR device is a better setup than gucci gen 3 binos and a $2000-$4000 IR device.

>>64766260
Okay yes sure if you're going to jump through the hoops of having a setup built and you're sourcing the tubes and housing and glass separately then sending it off to a builder yeah sure, you can probably get Gen 3 Omni 5-7 or w.e for $500-$1000 more total in the build than the exact same housing and glass with Gen 2+

>State your argument?
Basically boils down to "if your zero is drifting that much there's no reason it won't drift further under realistic circumstances and you're trusting an unknown POI" which I'm heavily against because bullets going where you intended is rather important even on the range.
My 40mm will absolutely yank the POI on my chinklaser and that's a problem IMO
But I just use it for a convenient focusable IR illuminator and white light package on a budget. I'll pony up for something good when I stop being a fag (unlikely)

Those Chink RIX things are on sale new from various vendors all the time for $3500-$4500. I've seen em used for as low as $3000. Albeit the issue is that they don't come with real PVS14 glass. Some though do, those are the ones closer to $4500
>most pvs14s going for $3500
Exactly why my point is that gen 3 isn't worth it.

>>64766373
There is a fundamental difference between drift (bias error) vs imprecision. I've not subjected my chinklaser to 40mm recoil (that real HEDP? fugg), but from what I have subjected it to (elaborated on earlier in thread), I've not seen significant "drift" but rather just what appears to be laser POI imprecision. The lack of zero retention that I have measured three times now (various round counts etc) is basically within a factor of 2-3 of the actual zeroing imprecision on the adjustments themselves, almost as if it is slop in the adjustments and the mechanism that leads to the apparent 3-5 MOA zero "drift". Imprecision improperly characterized over time can look like drift.
>I use it for convenient focusable IR illuminator
This is exactly my primary use for the chink NGAL, and it works well.

What you're saying is reasonable, especially if the idea is "the laser really isn't the point of this device" but I just don't agree with the base argument that an aiming device not holding zero isn't concerning. I guess in my mind I'm equating it to a red dot having the same issue. Which I recognize isn't what you're saying, but I have a hard time not associating them.

I do use the laser on my MP5 though, a lot, and it holds zero on such a low recoil platform which is nice.

>>64766403
Yeah I actually designed a cheap, quality, printed foam less lethal round for the 40mm to shoot on a budget/let others try at the range. I'm working on OC/CS rounds and I have an impact detonating flash round as well that's a couple bucks a pop.

Between the 203 and the ML37, what do you prefer? always wonder if the swing gate loading matters for Civs since there really aren't too many long boy rounds to take advantage of.
>>
>>64766716
The ML37/40 is objectively superior in just about every way. It's QD, it's side opening, double action, fits rifles better, cheaper ladder sight, nicer stand alone chassis, and it's cheaper on top of all that.

If you print/build your own ammo the swing-out loading does present an advantage, by the way.

I've only shot a handful of chalks but it truly is fun. I actually should get into a launcher. Waiting for some good breacher rounds for them. Definitely excellent way to test max g for electronics.
>base argument than an aiming device not holding zero isn't concerning
I was about to respond but then I continued reading lol
>isn't what you're saying
I appreciate that. The point I'm making is a bit nuanced and convoluted. For my POU, lasers are for signalling/deconfliction/less lethal, and if they are being used for aiming, my POA/POI precision requirement is like fuggin 80-160 MOA because I'm using it for indoor CQB gas mask NVG stuff. The aiming part of the LAM is SO far down my list of aiming methods and application cases, and the requirement itself is SO lax, that it becomes trivially logical to spend $300 on a chink clone laser that matches the aesthetic of the gun over spending $2500-$4500 on a "real" laser.
>no associating them
I get it. LAMs for the longest time were about combining with focused IR illum to make NVG shots at like legit distances, so much so that we cared about parallel vs converging zero so that we would have consistent hodls WITH the laser lol.
But then binos got cheaper, and more red dots have good NIR transmission, and more people got nods and now most everyone shoots passive (or ought to be honestly).
>ML37
I know it is functionally superior AND cheaper to a 203 but I want a 203 just for the aesthetic on my CQBR Block 2.5
>MP5
Nice BT rail. I want a drop in FRT SS trigger pack for my MP5k so bad.

>>64766880

Innovative Arms W.A.R. upper. Literally back in 2016 Giddy (long gone brownoid poster) was pioneering their use. They're originally and still primarily marketed as a 2 position gas switch for 5.56 suppressed vs unsuppressed case, originally developed back when high back pressure cans were the absolute norm.

I'm trying to use the system rather instead of being a switch for 5.56 suppressed vs unsuppressed to manage the increased backpressure of the can, as a switch for 300blk subsonics vs supersonics, both with a can, to quickly and on the fly, truly as quickly as performing a reload, adjust the gas so that subsonics can be legit reliable, but supers can be not ridiculously punchy and overgassed.

So far it isn't working lol.

Not a thermal scope, the device that clips onto the night vision. Pic related, it overlays a thermal outline that you can adjust the settings of into your nods.

This is why nomenclature is important. COTI is the device that goes onto NODs, the thermals that augment day sights on a rifle are just called clip-ons or thermal clip-ons if you need to distinguish between I2 and thermal devices. Calling everything a COTI just leads to confusion.

Yeah we're definitely coming at it from different directions and I acknowledge that for sure. I think for my uses it's still important but I'm also not trying to stay current with the firce on force meta so active emission isn't as big a concern to me and paper/steel. Different use cases (aka, the root of 90% of shitfests on /k/)

Yeah I agree on the 203 and that's why I have both lol. Also, the Shorty-40 looks tits on an MP5, pic related

He's married to what seems to be a girlboss leftist lady. I'm surprised he remained in the firearm industry after she drove a wedge between him and the company he founded. He made the mistake of onboarding his wife to his company and the obvious happened. That being said, I respect Lucas a hell of a lot more than most in the firearms industry who keep silent about Israel and our ZOGged ass political system and foreign policy.
