Firearm BS thread

You'll like those. I've got them on a couple of guns.

 

FYI, It seems to be missing an important part...

 

work in progress.

 

You building a can cannon?

 

Oh yea I have a barrel that needs to be cut down and that gas block went with the krink to get built

 

lol yup!

Figure it's a good use for the printed fire control group in a printed receiver - not a firearm and inherently single shot, after all.

 

Walking out the door to go to my cousins birthday dinner and I almost tripped over a box at the door, my slide got delivered earlier than expected!

 

Back home and re-assembled.
Check out how much clearance there is for the 509T with the Safariland hood.

 

Turn the brightness up

I normally don't mind spending a few extra bucks on my equipment, as I have learned the value of buying quality. Saturday night, I was doing my monthly testing of batteries in my ready handguns and rifles. The batteries were dead in a 4 month old Surefire XC-1B. I tried replacing the batteries and the unit was stuck in a constant condition, while the constant on switch was in the off position. I tested it both ways and it would not turn off. This is the third XC-1 that has failed on me over the last two years. Surefire will replace them, but that doesn't fix this kind of failure rate. I just purchased my third Olight BALDR .... I'm done with the XC-1 series .... when they replace this one, I'm selling it.



Update: Surefire's response was to send a new tail cap. They claimed the tail cap was probably damaged by battery corrosion (battery was fine - no corrosion). Definitely selling.....

 

I’ve had similar experiences with the one XC-1 I own. As you mentioned, Surefire replaced it. However, battery life and button / lever function continue to be problematic.

Way too expensive to have that many issues. Great concept, poor execution in my humble opinion.

 

Happy 308 day

 

Conserved 9mm at my range session. Just ran 3 mags thru my Shield to stay sharp.
.22lr added to the fun. Dirty-upped the Ruger. Solid shooter.

 

This is the best “night sight” I’ve used yet.
I’m still playing with the settings on the 509T but this brightness seems to work well interior and exterior with and without the light.

 

I thought about putting a 509T on my Krink but I want an ACSS reticle

 

Which ACSS reticle do you want? The Vulcan looks interesting but I haven’t used one to see how intuitive the large circle guiding you to the dot is, and I’m not real familiar with the horseshoe ACSS reticle.

 

The Vulcan. I have one on my AKS74U but haven't run it yet.

 

Let me know how you like it, I don’t have any perspective builds that I would use one for and I think any pistol I get a dot on will have the 509T but I’m curious to hear how you like it.
