YWHIC Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I got the rifle in today and swapped the pistol grip for the HOGUE..Added the DPMS Miculek Brake.. <thumbsup>Tossed on the QD 3/4" riser and my Bushnell Trophy 65/3 MOA Red Dot..The bonus (for me) was the Free Float HG is the VENTED (slotted) type.. I could not tell in the picture when I ordered it.. :Dnow waiting on the MAGPUL MBUS (rear) and MI Flip-Up (front) to wrap her up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Nice.If you get a chance can you toss it on a bathroom scale for a weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YWHIC Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 advertised weight is 8.5 lbs..I don't have a scale here.. I'll see what I can do..I went with this vs. 20" as that was 11.25 lbs. (advertised).Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Curiously is the front sight on backwards or is it an illusion to my tired eyes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YWHIC Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 For gas-block install the instructions say to mount backwards as not to hit the Free Float Tube or Handguard when 'down'..no not your eyes..If I were to cut say 1/4" off the THICKNESS of it I could get them to go the other way... but for $80 I'll just leave it.. LOL..Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YWHIC Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Thanks imschur..This thing is KEWL...But costly.. now I am selling the lightly used Bushnell Red Dot.. ($65 shipped).. (about 80 rounds on an AK47)..I just found a NEW EoTech 512.65/1 model for $360 (with sale).. and then a $30 rebate.. total is $330 shipped.. (most places are $400 or so)..Couldn't really say NO to that deal.. just ordered up..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YWHIC Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Shot it today.. about 85 rounds.. not FTF's or anything.. 8)Guess the MagPul Pmags paid off.. was cold at 40' F..Shot Remington Corlokt 150 & 180gr.. and 20 rounds of Tula 150gr..Heres a SHORT 1 minute video of 15 rounds (NJ limit).. I start shooting at 20 seconds.. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YWHIC Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Decided to cancel the EoTech 512 for $360..Was going to keep the Bushnell Trophy RD..But then on Ebay.. older model EoTech 552 w/NV for $160..Now I think I am done with this.. now to go shoot some more with new setup.

YWHIC Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 What I learned today.. is left is not right and up is not down.. <lmao>After pulling hair with that dillema.. :oI got her set at 100 yards..here is the last 5 rounds.. 3 were Horn 150SST and 2 were Rem 150gr Corelokt..not the best.. but this is a 1 moa dot at 100yards without magnification.. so 3 1/4" for an EoTech will have to do till next outing..I think the SST's grouped on the left and the 2 Corelokt on the right..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
