  1. Yikes! What the. I'd like to know the serial number range of that M4.
  2. Do you have to remove the barrel clamp to take it down?
  3. Mine came back as well. Latest status, "Needs to be packaged and shipped out" (as of today) My estimate was pretty close I was thinking last week at the latest.

    Rmr vs t2 for m4

    I've been waiting for a P-2 to come available as well. I didn't pre order this time around because I figured the wait was going to be long. I didn't want to tie up the $$ for months. However, now it seems when they do trickle in it's such a small quantity. Those of course end up going to the pre order crowd. I guess I'm just hosed. I just wonder why. I know the supply chain is jacked but it doesn't seem like there is a shortage of T-2s etc.
  5. I agree with the other fellas here. My recent M4 was super tight. I really had to press the barrel into the receiver. Carefully, or course. It appeared to be much tighter than my previous M4.
  6. Agreed. I found the fright sight post frustrating as well. I experienced the same twisting of both parts. Makes you wonder if they have some kind of jig or tool in the factory. I think I finally took wood shafts from cotton swabs and placed one on each side of the post to keep it straight. Then held the wing'd piece with my fingers. It was a pain for me anyway. The rear sight was pretty straight forward.
  7. I have an ancient surefire like that. LOL I remember when I thought it was ultra blinding. I picked up an Alpha 1 several months ago and then they came out with the next Gen. I really like Elzetta's build quality. I wish they would make a better mount system or a scout lugged weapon light.
  8. I like where they are going with the 2.0. Though for some reason, although probably unnecessary, I'm quite found of the tool steel bezel on the 1.0. My only concern is the shortening of the lugs. The 1.0 tail cap is pretty close to the OEM M4 forearms when using the IWC mount. This might be an issue with 2.0 but we won't know until somebody tries it.
  9. Son of a B! Every time I buy something the next best thing comes out. It happened with my Elzetta and now the Rein! 70k candela is a big boost. Lumens dropped to 1,100 not that it really matters.
  10. These are back but the days of sub $200.00 are over. Man I should have picked up another one last time.
  11. Please let me know if there is a stray FFT top rail in the wild. I would entertain a Carrier Comp top rail as well. I prefer unbeaten, in great or new condition.
  12. That's good to know. Thanks! I'll see how it plays out. Maybe if the FFT rails become available again I'll go that route.
  13. Too bad it's such a PITA. It could have had potential. I was never really impressed with their Urbino stock either.
  14. Scalarworks always has great customer service. They said it doesn't sound unusual and say it's within spec. I guess I'll mark the screws with my silver paint Sharpie and keep an eye on it.
  15. I just sent them a note. I didn't reach out before because I thought I was being too critical. I do agree and based on my experience installing the RMR version it doesn't seem right. It's almost like the machining on the key slot is off or the flange/stop on these screws are out of spec. They bottom out all the way to the un-threaded portion under the head. Like you've mentioned I should have had to back them out from there just to get it to slide on.
  16. That's what threw me off about this install. I couldn't get the screws low enough to where the the Sync wouldn't slide on. I was able to do this with the RMR Sync on a different M4. As you said, then back them off just enough to be able to get it on. Even with the screws bottomed out it still slide on without a lot of resistance. I kept thinking this shouldn't be able to slide on like this. I used 243 on all 4 screws even though they have Nyloc on them. I've been thinking about torque striping them with my silver sharpie. I've done that on other mounts/platforms. I think I'll do that here as well. Scarlarworks shows 7 inlbs on the outside screws. I always thought that was a bit light.
  17. I really like the Scalarworks product line in general. Though when I installed my last Sync mount it didn't seem to slide on as tight as the previous one I did. There are two screws that you install first which are essentially mounting posts for the key slots. They only go in so far because the threading ends and the screws bottoms out into the top of the receiver. I screwed them all the way down and the Sync still had a little more play in it than I would have liked to seen. Another half turn or so and it probably would have been right where I wanted it. I'm sure it will be fine. After I installed the two external mounting screws everything seemed tight. I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this. I don't know if it's because this time the Sync mount I used was for the Aimpoint Micro, where as last time I installed the Sync for the RMR?? When I did the RMR one I had the screw height adjusted to where I could just barely slide the Sync on. The designs are slightly different but I don't think it should have made much of a difference.
  18. I don't think they provided me any special service but it was kind of cool. Maybe I'm a problem customer. ? Also if you do as SD mentioned above and click on your repair order you might see a photo in there. I think they emailed me this when they received my parts and it's also in my repair log.
  19. I'm in the same boat. Nothing yet. I'm hoping within the next 2 weeks. Interestingly enough they took a photo of everything I sent in to be plated. All laid out. They never did that before.
  20. If I was only old enough then and had the wherewithal. My brothers could have cleaned up!
  21. Was just up there last summer..
  22. They still have individual boxes available. I just realized I have a nice supply of the 9 pellet version on hand. I bought it back in Spring of 2019. It was like $28.99 for 50 shells! Oh man I wish I could have Peabody set the "Wayback Machine". I'd go back and scoop up a pile of it.
  23. I like that rifle sock. Where did you acquire it?
  24. Glade mine is NP3'd but I like the Briley option as well. I like the small extension protruding. It might protect me from my own dumbness. Even though my choke is NP3'd I still have it coated with Briley grease.
