My Google-Fu eludes me. Who makes the M-LOK handstop? I want one.. Gorgeous build my friend!
My brother!!!! Thank you.Handbrake M-LOK - Emissary Development
Handbrake utilizes a unique forward-swept angle for enhanced ergonomics and ultimate control. It's optimized size and tapered walls are designed for maximum comfort.emissarydevelopment.com
Yes this is it! Sorry I didn't see the replies.My brother!!!! Thank you.
No worries at all my friend. I was able to nab a black & FDE one..Yes this is it! Sorry I didn't see the replies.
Yeah it's a pretty good hand stop. Now I need to figure out what I want for my 11.5... it's a little big for that side build.No worries at all my friend. I was able to nab a black & FDE one..
I knew I had seen it before.. actually quite a while ago. Thanks for sharing. I'm putting them on my 11.3" & 10.5" builds. I really like Magpul M-LOK AFG's, but they hog 2.5 slots. Looks like yours takes about 1.25 slots.. perfect. Rail space on the shorties is tight.Yeah it's a pretty good hand stop.

No prob! You’re gonna dig that Wilson barrel. Mines a laser with 77TMKs over 25 grains of accurate 2520.My brother!!!! Thank you.
Sadly, I'm not a re-loader and won't be for the foreseeable future. Would be nice to learn the craft, but I've got way too much on my plate with elder care / grand-baby care right now. Plus the fact I want to do a load station right, but not happening in the current house. When we move in a few years (to where I plan on living my life out,) then yup. For now, just looking to get as much performance from factory loads as best I can. When the good stuff finally comes available again.. my stash is mostly 55g .223.. not the best for accuracy. I do have a few hundred 69g Sierra Match King that shoots really well.No prob! You’re gonna dig that Wilson barrel. Mines a laser with 77TMKs over 25 grains of accurate 2520.
How do you like that Arken SH4 6-24x50 scope? I have an SH4 6-24x50 VPR MIL that's supposed to be showing up tomorrow... For the money, they're going to be REALLY hard to beat, especially if they're as nice and quality as everyone says... Tiborasaurus Rex compared it to his S&B PM-II and said the glass was clearer, the coatings were better in the sun, the turrets felt better, and that it passed the tracking test at LESS than 0.5%... He said the only thing the PMII felt better on, was the parallax adjustment and magnification rings were a tiny bit smoother. If that's the case, then it's basically a NF NXS for less than $500... Which would be ridiculous.And because it's a pic thread!
Just installed the Wilson 11.3" match 5.56 barrel the other day. Was running a CMC 10.5" .223 Wylde, but looking for a bit more of a "bughole" barrel. We shall see.
11.3" Micro Recce with too much glass..
Truth be told, it’s not a bad optic at all for $450 shipped. Take TB’s reviews with a grain of salt, he gets free shit from vendors all the time ( as a LOT of other Tubers do as well.) I’ll have to think about it for a while, but there’s one guy on the Tube who I trust with honest data. Center X maybe? He’s severed service Mil, and has a ton of vids up. His opinion? Not bad, but has its fault.How do you like that Arken SH4 6-24x50 scope? I have an SH4 6-24x50 VPR MIL that's supposed to be showing up tomorrow...

Rex is known to give 100% honest reviews, and is very well known in the optics community. He's been using german glass for 30+ years, and if he says he thinks something is better than the old standards... Well... I believe him.
What's your thoughts? Is he correct?
I've been running the Vortex HS-T 6-24x50 MIL scopes since they came out, and I really love them. But the zero-stop sucks having to fuck with those little brass horseshoes... But it works well, and is a very solid zero stop. Glass is nice for a $700 scope, and is supposedly the same glass as the PST series...I think made in Philippines (Def not china, and not quite ED Jap glass). How does it compare to your Razor?Truth be told, it’s not a bad optic at all for $450 shipped.

With all that crap said, MY opinion is it hits above its price point for sure. The one thing that bugs me the most is CA. but I’ve only had it out 4-5 times so I’m still in the eval mode so to speak. Love the turrets, zero stop is fantastic, parallax adjustment dial is smooth as greased ballbearings, mag adjustment is just about right too. Glass is great for me up to ~ 20-22x, reticle is as good (for me at least) as my Razor Gen II EBR-7C 4.5-27. Seriously, I love the Arken reticle. Illumination is about useless in bright daylight, but don’t care.
All in all, I’m very happy with it. One thing, I should have waited a few more days when I ordered, I prefer MIL. But, the MOA works no problem as well.
I think you’ll be impressed.
Like i said, you're going to LOVE the Arken reticle. It's as good as it gets IMHO. As for apples-apples against my Razor Gen II? No contest. The Japan LOW glass is hands down the KING. But it's also 4x+ the price of the Arken. So....I've been running the Vortex HS-T 6-24x50 MIL scopes since they came out, and I really love them.

I really hope the Arken EP4 Gen2 comes out soon. They use ED glass from Japan like the Razor and NF, and several other top end scopes. But for $599... Damn-hard to beat if it holds up to the hype.
Also, I agree, I never use a illuminated reticle during the day, but I'm excited to see that VPR reticle the Arken has. I waited and got a MIL version when they came in this last go-round. Can't wait for it to come in. Thinking about putting it on my R700 5R .260 Rem... And then put the HS-T on something else with an inferior scope, and slowly work-out the cheaper quality stuff.
Yes sir, very familiar with DLO, BJF and Glassaholic. There’s another gent on the Tube that’s no BS or sponsored as well. He does his tracking tests on a brick wall… stated this optic was a good deal as well.@MudRunner2005
@MackDaddy1962
look at forum member Koshkin’s optic reviews.
he also has a website with great information.
darklordofoptics
He is pretty much top dog imo.
Classy and no bullshit.
Look for reviews by Big Jim Fish and Glassaholic on here too. Both do a great job with no “sponsor” influence.
What length rail?
Thanks man. Yeah, it shows that it just arrived at the house, but I’m still at work. Will post up an initial review about it when I get home.Super nice collection MudRunner2005. No doubt!
Edit: And to add to your previous comment, I too would love to see the Arken EP4 Gen2 scopes get released. Using LOW Japan glass at that price point? Yeah, they should be a steal no doubt. Hide member rimfire22lr has one of the 1st gen EP4's and loves it. Lucky man...
Sweet! Hope it's everything you expect / want. Like I said, for $450.. yup. That'll work!Thanks man. Yeah, it shows that it just arrived at the house, but I’m still at work. Will post up an initial review about it when I get home.
Just unboxed it, and WOW! First impressions are that is one solid optic for the money. It's got the heft, the thickness in the right spots, the turrets are REALLY nice (nicer than my HS-T's (don't tell Vortex I said that. ), and the reticle is really nice. The one thing I did notice, was what you mentioned, the illuminated reticle is pretty weak. They need to step up their game on that one. Other than that, I can't wait to get it leveled up and mounted and take it to the range.Sweet! Hope it's everything you expect / want. Like I said, for $450.. yup. That'll work!
13".... The rare discontinued length. Was a bitch to find one, but found it second hand unused.What length rail?
Carbine +1?Accurate things CAN come in small packages, especially when they are built around a custom Craddock Precision Bartlein 11" SS barrel with 1x7 twist and a +1" gas system! ]
I prefer the 20 round magazine for aesthetic purposes.Accurate things CAN come in small packages, especially when they are built around a custom Craddock Precision Bartlein 11" SS barrel with 1x7 twist and a +1" gas system! This tiny but mighty package has a SanTan STT-15 billet receiver set as a foundation. Anticipating suppressed use, I've included an SLR adjustable gas block. The gun wears a Surefire 5.56 WarComp presently, but this can be swapped out to suit the needs of the end user. Note the rare and seldom encountered Geissele MK 16 rail. I chose an ambi Geissele ACH charging handle and JP FMOS bolt carrier group to round out the upper receiver. The lower comes well equipped from SanTan with ambi mag and bolt release. Continuing with the ambi theme, I added a DHD ambi short throw safety selector. The trigger is a TriggerTech Competition Model, breaking at a super crisp 3.5 LB, supported by V Seven 0.155" DLC coated titanium fire control pins. Also DLC coated are the DHD SS push pins and ambi safety selector. The often overlooked recoil system is the Vltor A5 with A5-H1 buffer. Holding the recoil system in place is the Fortis Lightweight Enhanced End Plate with Tapered Castle Nut. Installed in back is the SBA3 pistol brace from SB Tactical.

Really is too bad they seem to hate selling to we civilians…
Took me months to build this HK416.Really is too bad they seem to hate selling to we civilians…
And a good portion of the bank account I bet. Not judging just an observation, I would be on in a minute.Took me months to build this HK416.
Yup. But later on you can resale it.And a good portion of the bank account I bet. Not judging just an observation, I would be on in a minute.
