      AR15 Optics Thread

      I guess I just need to get both!!!! I see pros and cons in each camp; wish I had the money to own both! Also - does anyone know any good alternatives to this: If A.R.M.S is as lousy as you all make it sound, I'll stay away. A rail extension could be very nice, however.

      AR15 Optics Thread

      I am giving some thought to Aimpoint; 80,000 hours of battery life in a "Zombie Invasion" type scenario could be very useful :P Probly won't come to that lol I think I need to try one out or at least get my hands on one. I like the EOTech display, but with 600 hours(ish) on a battery, v...

      AR15 Optics Thread

      Opinions on this: "Super Extended Swan Sleeve (14")" Has integrated flip-up BUIS. Made by A.R.M.S. - $190ish. Is this cheap junk? Is this worth it? Will this add extra height and throw off, say, an EOTech 557 that already has 7MM built into it for the AR-15 sights? I like the idea of...

      AR15 Optics Thread

      I appreciate the advice! This video is actually pretty interesting: Aimpoint v. EOTech Aimpoint does seem like it's potentially more durable; has longer battery life, seals up nice & tight. Still, I am just inclined towards the EOTech sight for this rig. :P I do wish that I could get my...

      AR15 Optics Thread

      So... EOTech 557, flip-to-side 3x Magnifier (does L3 make these to match?) and Matech 600m All of this mounted to the spot where my handle is currently - I 100% understand why people like the marksman scopes - the one on my father's Ruger 10-22 is a blast. I originally set out for a simple...

      AR15 Optics Thread

      I was just going to mention this: Lol :D I am also curious - are there varying front sight sizes? I need to go look at the markings on my AR - it's locked away safely at home (slow day at the office today). I have read somewhere that bushmaster has extra-tall front sights? I...

      AR15 Optics Thread

      I'm overwhelmed by the amount of help! Ok... I am seeing recommendations for scopes like the "DMS-1" - what I am really looking for is something that will flip in front of the holo sight and give me some magnification. I am not planning on doing much with this rifle past even 75 yards. And...

      AR15 Optics Thread

      Help with adding optics to my AR! I am brand new here :) I am also a complete and total n00b when it comes to modifying any kind of gun. Using it (the basics) and cleaning it I've gotten down; now I want to do a little more. Here is the gun that I have (sort of...) Mine is a...
