There's nothing wrong with dots and back up irons if it's a duty grade optic.

Nice Vudu. I have a 1-8x with a Spuhr mount on one of mine

Agreed

The data center itself is being built in Montgomery, only the solar farm to add the electricity back to the grid is being built in Stockton, which is north Baldwin county. Alabama isn’t a solar friendly state though so I’m not sure how good of an investment this will be unless that part changes significantly

Form 1 for an SBR took one day and form 4 for a suppressor took 12 days. Did everything through a local shop with no trust.

Zeiss V4 3-12x56 is the best in class in that price range in my opinion.

Still waiting on a Tangodown stubby vertical and pistol grip that will be here tomorrow but she’s mostly finished.

Yes but the mount is included in these. The ones pictured in yours shows no mount. Here’s a pic of mine.

All those at that price are no mount included optics. Buy it how you like but a brick and mortar selling these with mount at that price is exceptional

Agreed. We have had at least 4 straight terrible O line coach hires. This shite is institutional now and isn’t getting fixed overnight

Contacted him and bought a Daniel Defense DDM4 lower from him. He was out of the colts but sold me that new in the box and shipped for the same price. He seems to have really good prices on high end stuff but not too good to raise a flag

Just made a deal for this upper. What m4 lower would you pair with it? Just curious

This was reported a few weeks ago that he would be let go after the portal closed.

Looking at it closer you can see where a very faint lay line was that says SOCOM RC2. Good catch and thanks for that. I really had no clue.

It probably is. It actually doesn’t have a manufacturer listed on it and I have had the thing for years. I traded a buddy a working Harris PEQ2 for it several years ago and he said it was a KAC. I’m not a big suppressor guy myself.
