AzRon Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) I was finally able to get out and test fire my Gen2 Recon on New Years day. The only thing I changed was the BHO latch so that it would work with the latest generation Magpul mags. I put a Vortex 1-6x scope on it. The rifle functioned great and the scope was on right off the bat as I made no adjustments, I was able to hit a 15" plate at 150yds off hand with boring reliability I LIKE this rifle! The rifle functioned great and locked back every time on an empty mag. Edited January 4, 2021 by AzRon

98Z5V Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 Good lookin' build, but that scope mount is backwards, man.

Belt Fed Posted January 6, 2021 Report Posted January 6, 2021 I put mine on backward on purpose, i always charge it from the right side and those knobs are in the way. I use an ambi charger too.
Belt Fed Posted January 6, 2021 Report Posted January 6, 2021 Ehh, after lookin, maybe they wouldn't be. ain't takin em off though.lol
DNP Posted January 6, 2021 Report Posted January 6, 2021 Yours aren’t backwards. Though, I’m easily confused.

I dunno, but i can see myself goin to grab that charger on a cold mornin and hittin my knuckle on that huge knob. i have all them PEPR mounts on like those. work good for me charging from the right.

I'm just sayin'... it's backwards. The mount. too easy to turn the scope around. It works better that way, as designed, and eats recoil better, the way it's designed. Just my $0.02 on it.
