Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

So, Charles / HebrewHammer sent me a Steiner C35 to get my thoughts on it. I haven’t bought one (yet), but with a full LIST price of just $4K for a legit 640px dedicated thermal clip-on with HD display, I’m gonna grab one anyway (be sure to have mercy on a poor ol’ Horta, Mr Hammer).

I’m a big fan of getting the negatives out of the way first, so I’m going to beat the C35 up a little before going into what it does very well, which is what it was designed to do.

First, the C35 is a fricking Brick House! At over 35-ounces with battery installed, it’s the heaviest consumer thermal I own. It’s big and bulky compared to its competitors as well. I don’t own any Yoter/Bering stuff, so I can’t compare with their units.

Second, the battery is a funky 18650 “B”. You can NOT use a standard 18650. It won’t fit. One is included, but you’ll need to get more or — use an external Anker-style USB pack.

The rail mount is a monster and the QD throw lever is a boat paddle.

I’ve looked all over the unit itself, the packaging, and the documentation and I can’t, for the life of me, figure out where this thing is made. Someone help me out here… WHERE IS THIS DAMN THING MADE?!

I figured it was from Chynah and the core was likely iRay, but I’m not so sure. The unit has the funky FLIR Boson color pallettes, so there is a slim chance it may NOT be Chinesium (fingers crossed).

More (good news) to come shortly. Dinner time.

The Razor 1-10x is in a 1.57” Scalarworks mount, so the C35 looks to be designed for a 1.5” optic.

The Testbed — Geissele SOCOM SD, Razor G3 1-10x in Scalarworks, other meaningless trinkets. Will be testing the C35 for POI shift on multiple guns/optics pairs.

SOLD Lone Peak Manners Build

Was going to build a kick ass .204 but decided to change directions. Barrel has not been chambered and is still in blank form at my smith for someone who would want to finish it or I could have him ship it to you. Everything is brand new unfired. You could also build a sweet .223 or something similar.

Lone Peak Fuzion .223 Action
Manners LRH Stock mini chassis
Hawkins M5 Bottom Metal
Trigger Tech Special Flat trigger
Mullerworks 20 cal Rem Varmint 8 twist stainless barrel blank
MDT AICS 223 steel magazine

Reduced was $3100 now $3,000 shipped to your FFL for everything

Would be willing to part out but the action and stock need to be spoken for before I will do it.

Firearms Cadex KRAKEN 338 Lapua

Cadex Drag Bag (Included)
Cadex Scope Mount ($250)

Including Dewey Rod and all tips for cleaning.

Shipping separately 64 rounds of 285 grain Hornady ammo (Plus once fired brass). ($300+ rounds of ammo)

Selling it all as a set. If you don't want the scope, I can sell gun only, but not the other way around.

At least 10 dead in shooting in Buffalo

They took the coward alive. Now we'll have to pay for jail and food for life, and all the trials. He should have been put down on the spot.

Buffalo NY shooting kills at least 10 at Tops supermarket, AP ...​

https://www.usatoday.com › news › nation › 2022/05/14




1 hour ago — At least 10 people were killed after a gunman opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, the Associated Press reported, ...

Welp, that's irritating (update: I'm a moron)

I won an auction for an LWRC DI 5.56 upper that I didn't expect to win and didn't really want to. (Got a decent deal though.) I was hoping to throw it on to a Stag lower I had lying around, toss on the VCOG, and sell it to a coworker. Well, it arrived today and that plan fell through. Works fine on a LWRC M6IC lower. Every other upper I have works on the Stag lower. But the LWRC upper doesn't work on the Stag lower. Fits a bit like it has an accu-wedge installed and the bolt will retract (with difficulty) about 1/2 inch before it stops. Think I'll be keeping the upper and convert it to .300 Blackout or maybe a Valkyrie. I'm gonna shoot an email to LWRC and see if I can get barrel for it. I don't really need another 5.56.

They will be ungovernable


Well prepare to be governed by those who will operate outside the law........
