What makes the arms rings total pieces of shit? In generally curious as this is the first set I've owned having previously only had LaRue mounts, maybe 12 of them or more if you count all the acog mounts I've owned, and a few ADM mounts. Do they not hold zero, do they break, do they have defects or drawbacks to using them vs another mount?
You must be new to the shooting world. No offense.
Yes there was a time, when arms was the only game in town. Before Larue/ADM, anyone bassicaly. They made the only QD mounts and one of the only rail systems for AR's. Look at early pic threads from like 2000-2002 and you will see nothing but arms shit everywhere. Their terrible quality and weak mounts are what made people like LARUE start their designs and proppelled them to where they are.
Arms mounts break, levers are weak, they do not even come close to RTZ and Dick Swan is a first class piece of shit. He went on to sue the other companies, claiming he invented the QD mount. Despite the fact there are naval patents going back to the 1930's for QD mounts to boresight large guns.
Early MK12 used what was COTS and arms was established. You know after a new product comes out it takes years to saturate and for people to realize its a better product. People are set in their ways and it takes a while for them to realize the change.
I sometimes think that ARMS 22 QD rings are the only thing keeping the doors open over there. Its the only product they make that even has a purpose of being purchased (for clones, along with their SWAN rail).

I still can't seem to get the recipe right. Every time I try for a Mod 0 build, I end up doing it wrong. This one ended up about 3.5" short, and chambered in 300 Blackout.... Weird, right?
That looks awesome. I just ordered a 16" barrel to use with my suppressor. I've been thinking about going with a PRI tube. I dig your rifles color too.
Thanks The color is a mix of Burnt Bronze and Armor Black Cerakote. The ratio was 10:3 Bronze-Black. It took a while to find a good ratio that didn't end up looking like either gunmetal gray, or just like Burnt Bronze. I really like the PRI tubes. Light, rigid, easy to install and they don't get too hot to handle from barrel heat or from being out in the sun. They are a bit spendy though. I saved some money by going with the most basic model they had, with no pre-drilled holes. With the 14.5" barrel with pinned/welded brake, the suppressor I eventually plan on getting for this one should tuck inside the handguard about an inch. I'm using a Spikes Tactical alignment collar, which needed a .700" diameter X 1.00" inch long step turned at the muzzle to get the right spacing between the mounting threads and the shoulder on the collar.
With a 16" or shorter barrel, the front sight will need to be mounted on the free float rail if you intend on running an Ops can. I thought this through for a while before I finally decided to hack off about 3" from the front of the top rail to make room for a folding front sight. I contoured the cut area to fit up closely with the hood of the front sight. I'm running a cheap AIM Sports front sight, but the cutout should also work with either a Troy or PRI HK style front sight as well. FWIW, the AIM sight is actually pretty decent, although a bit clunky looking:

No issues with the A.R.M.S #22 rings on my rifle. I'm using the newer ones with the LII levers. I've had the scope on and off the rifle probably 30-40 times and have never lost zero, maybe I'm not doing it right...... I actually prefer the ARMS method of locking up over LaRue's system due to the steel lash pad between the levers cam surface and the receiver rail. The LaRue just cams directly into the side of the aluminum receiver.
Here is mine it is pretty authentic
HCS Barrel and upper
PSA Lower
KAC 2 stage trigger
Nightforce Recon Nav Spec scope
I went with rings off My MK 11 Mod 0
What recoil springs are you guys with cans running?
