    Night Vision WTS Envision MARSc 1550nm Ballistic LRF (IR laser, IR illuminator, vis laser)

    I am selling my Envision MARSc 1550nm LRF, with built-in IR laser, IR illuminator, and visible laser. This is the commercial model, meaning the IR laser, illuminator and vis laser are not full-power. It does however have the 1550nm laser range finder of the FP MARS. I am the first owner and I...

    SP10M vs SP10

    They are stacked, one after the other.

    SP10M vs SP10

    My bad, I stand corrected.

    SP10M vs SP10

    SP10M: - Heavier Bartlein barrel, bonded to upper. - Lever adjustable gas block, longer gas system. - Dual, longer buffer spring. I think that's about it.

    Rifle Scopes ED Glass and Super ED Glass

    Works only if you lap the rings first.

    Accuracy International AT-X

    You are absolutely right, I checked my order and it was in fact AI-29394BL. I didn’t know there was a second option available, is this a new offering? This brings up another question, why are there two different options for the same rail? Who would want one without the recoil lugs and correct...

    Accuracy International AT-X

    Not in my experience. My AT-X high action rail came with no recoil lugs and the attachment screws were way too long. My recommendation is to still go with the AT-X high action rail, swap the recoil lugs over, and use the corresponding AT-X 20MOA NV rail. Doing anything else just increases the...

    Accuracy International AT-X

    I^2 clip-ons are generally more forgiving than thermals alignment-wise. You should be good with the extra 20MOA. If you end up using a thermal, it may or may not cause an issue, I've seen it go both ways. I went with 0MOA 1.5", AT-X high rail, and full length bridge. Alignment is perfect.

    Accuracy International AT-X

    Torque specs are 35 in-lbs and blue loctite. Not sure on the actual screw specs, I don't want to give you the wrong info.

    Bulletseeker Mach 4 doppler chrono

    I am pretty excited about this one. It fixes every single complaint I’ve ever had with Magnetospeed and Labradar, if it performs as advertised.

    That is awesome to hear. I take back what I said about the design!

    Night Vision EOTECH CLIP ON THERMALS ( Full details)

    I don't have much experience with the INOD and I've never seen the xELR, however I do have a few years' worth of time using a HISS-XLR. I don't recall it pixelating as much even when zoomed in to 15-18x. That being said, I'm going from memory here and it's hard to compare that to a few pictures...

    Night Vision EOTECH CLIP ON THERMALS ( Full details)

    Personal opinion here and I could be very wrong, but I think this one was driven by silly contract requirements. US cooled units generally don't have standalone modes and are optimized for clip-on performance. Also keep in mind foreign SOF units (even Brits and Canadians) have far lower budgets...
