Hydra upper is ~700 iirc

Colt 901 is 2 grand but comes with the 5.56 upper too

It's also got ambidextrous mag release and bolt catch, + Vltor stock

thats pretty nice

Colt don't fuck around

There's alot of ways to fuck up an AR

~~Except when they let all kindsa shit through QC~~

Colt only lost the military contract because they would not let the military allow Remington to make m4s

Is that when they switched to FN?

Colt owns copyright to M4

Mil decides to award Remington 10% of m4 contract

Colt says , ey cant do , shits copyrighted

Also goes after civil manufacturing

As we call 'm4geries'

Basically civilian m4s with 16" barrels

All called m4 style

Govt rules m4 is not a trademark but a colloquial term for a model or category of rifle

so the "M4" Copyright/patent is still owned by colt? I thought that had expired like "AR-15"

They then drop both and give to FN

They never owned M4 as of the ruling

ooh ok, so they were claiming to own Copywrite, government said "No that's public domain" then gave the contract to FN

Basically

So now we issue a needlessly heavy modified ar

KAC rail is heavy and not needed

>you can mount PEQ directly to barrel

>will even stay zeroed

Heat wont be an issue?

Wasn't an issue all the way back to the PEQ2 barrel mount

Wouldn't imagine it would start being one

fair enough

The barrel clamp gives it plenty of room as it goes through the handguards

oooh ok

Anyone have experience with Holosun optics? Im thinking of picking one up, they seem pretty nice when im futzing around with them

@Nic386 not bad imo
held zero of the course of a rough week and it's pretty durable
used HS403B

The one Im looking at is more the HE510C-GR

Those are nicer than the one I use iirc

Also solar powered goodness what’s not to love

I can get them for cheaper than MSRP easily too

For sure, what are you planning to mount this on
