but if you do get one, I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on it Always looking for a good deal on things.
Yeah, everything I have read on the knock offs is saying they are really made for airsoft guns at best. Wont hold zero, batteries lasting an hour or two, to breaking after a week or two. I will admit that the eotech is a dream. I was firing my rifle this weekend outdoors and was doing walking drills while firing and could hit the target everytime. What a difference it is firing outside and being able to move around vs. sitting in a lane at a range.
Yeah that's my debate. That is a part of the gun I'd rather not fail and have issue with. I mean it's not the end of the world since I have the iron sights but the holographic sight makes a world of difference with speed and accuracy.
ANyone interested in the complete gun as it is with eotech, magnifier, Griffin Compensator, Knights Quad Rails, New Covers, and two FDE mags? I can post more recents pics if needed.

Jake, you can buy the CTR stocks new off amazon for 65 bux. Better yet just get a moe and slap on the rubber but pad and save an extra 20 bux! You can find these even cheaper! http://www.amazon.com/Magpul-Enhanc...TF8&qid=1346986721&sr=8-3&keywords=magpul+ctr
I dig the str, but with that style I'm partial to the sopmod 0 it doesn't have the storage as the str but it feels solid!!! I can use it to beat something with!
haha, so i haven't even gotten my parts in yet (will be here thursday, and i'm off!!), but i'm already looking at a larger caliber rifle (to have two caliber AR's). this isn't something that's gonna happen any time soon (getting an XD-S and a shotgun of some sort first), but just wanted to see which direction to head with this next build. 300AAC? 6.8spc? 3.08? my 5.56 is a 16" barrel, so i'm thinking possibly an 18" or 20" because the larger round would obviously be for longer range stuffs (probably have a scope and not a red dot, etc). anyways, what you guys think on the big caliber AR's?
You are going down the same path I just went down. I am looking into a 300AAC right now. My can will support any of those calibers so just trying to decide.
besides boar or bear why even have a .30_+ in a AR platform? especially with a barrel shorter than 22"?
for longer distance shooting at the range. i used to shoot competitively and shooting at the range is fun (prefer outdoor obviously). there is a range we frequent out here that has 'tactical bays' and ranges from pistol to more than a 1/2 mile. so just cuz
thought it came with the barrel, i was wrong. picking one up next time i'm at the distributor. no biggie. with the car in the shop i'm broke anyways, so i can't really afford to drop $100-$300 on ammo to go to the range and shoot it. so i'm not really in a rush. oh here are the final specs: Troy/VTAC TRX 15" rail (FDE) Daniel Defense S2W (strength to weight) 16" midlength barrel w/ low profile gas block Troy midieval muzzle brake Vortex Optics red/green dot scope Magpul STR stock/MOE grip/trigger guard (FDE) Spike Tactical Upper Ameetec/ASA Lower FailZero coated BCG KZ Ambidextrous charging handle Palmetto State Armory LPK/Mil-Spec Buffer tube and spring kit i think that's everything. excited to go shoot it after i check the headspacing and get that gas tube and what not. then i'll pick up a sling and MBUIS. but pretty good start, i'd say
