Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF
- Thread starter Realwar

Yeah that's my one gripe, taller turreted scopes will prevent usage of the remote, unless you really mount the lrf forward on the diving board, a 90° would be the perfect solution, it allows use with scope like yhe TT or NF with beast turrett and also gets the wire out of the way so its not a hindrance when dialing.
Biggest downside of the Impact (aside from not working when it's mildly chilly outside lol) is a wireless remote. My favorite thing is to spend whole nights wondering around in the dark constantly checking to see if I lost my switch (I haven't lost one yet, but the fear is always there).
Agreed, I will always prefer a wired remote but it is nice that Maztech will give users the choice. Now if I can run a wired and wireless remote at the same time that would be awesome. I would put the wireless one on the buttstock to use with my support hand.
I'd be down for that. But I absolutely want wired over BT or any other wireless option first. Connector wise, with enough "want" you can have the connector at whatever position you want. Hell we have someone here who makes switches with different connectors.
Don’t forget to ordered the $200 diving board
And $100 thermal riser (not the one pictured )
And the $175 cable
Most clip ons are 1.5” some are 1.35
Maz is 1.9”
FAST™ THERMAL RISER
The Unity Tactical FAST Accessory Riser elevates backup sights and optics for improved alignment and visibility.

Give us a full rundown of it all once you put some rounds through it
It’s honestly massive. Neither the NF or Area419 diving board are long enough for the remote plug to clear the turret on a NF 7-35.
In case this helps anyone, works fine with the following:
- NF 2.5-20x50 with Badger Condition 1 mount and Badger CLIF diving board
- ZCO 5-27x56 in ZCO block mount and one piece pic rail diving board
- ZCO 8-40x56 in ZCO rings and ZCO top cap with long pic rail diving board
- S&B 4-16x42 in Seekins rings and Vortex/Seekins diving board
- NF 2.5-20x50 with Badger Condition 1 mount and Badger CLIF diving board
- ZCO 5-27x56 in ZCO block mount and one piece pic rail diving board
- ZCO 8-40x56 in ZCO rings and ZCO top cap with long pic rail diving board
- S&B 4-16x42 in Seekins rings and Vortex/Seekins diving board
Works with ATACR 4-16x42 with Reptilia diving board. You do have to modify the diving board front, which has a slope where the final grove needs to be. An $11 file from Home Depot and a little patience…
It mounts just fine. I can plug the cable in without an issue, but it sits right in the way of the elevation turret for me. The diving board needs to be longer or taller or something. Or, ideally, they would have a 90* plug. This is on an Area 419 mount/diving board.
Clearance on the Theta turrets is worse with the tail of the plug making contact.
Maybe a little bit, but not that much. Seems like only realistic way of doing it would be to get the rings instead of the one piece mount to try and get some more space. Even then, I'm not sure it will be enough space to fully clear the turret.
If they would just do a 90* connector it would solve a lot of these issues. But I REALLY don't want to have to buy a $200 cable for something that should have been out of the box in the first place.
Yes, I made the same point on this very page.
I think I could take over the shipping department and cut unit cost by half
Here is the 2k on the Sphur and Sphur diving board. But I had to use a riser to get it up and forward enough to clear the turrets well enough on an ATACR 7.35.
Only have 5 minutes here and there to f with it. Still need to torque it and down load the app etc
I got my 15k today and zeroed it in the backyard at 25 since that's all the space I have here. The 15k returns ranges extremely quickly and I was able to hit a radio tower about 5500y out easily. Don't have anything further that's visible so will need to see how far out it can go another time but it's a really solid laser.
I like how there are separate ammo and gun profiles. App and menu is very well thought out.

Need to proof it on steel but seems pretty BA
Not sure why both the LRF and FCs have gun profiles , maybe you can use a non ab RF to feed the fcs in the future
Outside of size (the obvious one), I am curious how this 15k compares to the MARS unit.
It's actually very handy for some applications..... you can load one set of data in the LRF and another set of data in the FCS. Say subs and supers for 300blk.
I tried to demonstrate the concept in this video but there are several other use cases for this once you get creative enough.
ETA I see your setup is actually on a 300blk so you have the perfect setup for this.
Genuine question here.... given the price difference, what would you expect the mars to do above and beyond the 15k?
I agree with @Huskydriver..... the Maztech 15k dominates the $10k+ lasers in performance.
Cost to performance is exactly what I'm referring to here.... To be fair, I don't claim to be a Mars expert as I've never felt like a $10k+ rangefinder made sense for me so not something I've spent time researching. My only experience with them is being around guys running them in matches.
So with that in mind, I'm genuinely curious what the additional cost of the mars and other similarly priced units actually benefit a shooter over the Maztech (IR illum could be one thing)?
Gotcha, I think it's one of those pay twice the price for a 30% weight reduction scenario. I didn't love the weight or bulk of my Impact 4000, weight might have been fine if it hadn't been so big. Weight is easy to deal with for the price and 15k laser though I'm sure!
Weight and size. Is somewhat substantial.
Zero retention is most wmlrf Achilles heal. Not sure how that compares
