Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2 - Page 102

HonestChieffan · 05:52 PM

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.

Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?

Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

the brace alone is 120 bucks, so getting the complete pistol with brace for 500, i feel like im stealing it.

Nice!

Anybody use eotech optics?

I have messed around with one a little bit. Do you guys think they are worth the 500+ pricetag.

They're fine, but for that money get a Trijicon MRO. That's what I have mounted on my primary AR. I have the old EOTech on my M1A.

OpticsPlanet has a deal on them now for $420, too.

thanks man. Ill check it out. I dont deal with optics often. Im more of an iron sights guy, but the AR pistol wont have irons, and i dont trust flip ups.

My uncle uses the over and under shelf version in his safe. He also has several magnet mounts for the extra magazines.

That's basically a flame thrower...

Cool thing about ARs is interchangeability.

bigjosh · 02-10-2018, 11:31 PM

Seems to be decent quality for cheap. Got a little receiver wobble (i dont care) and the takedown pins are tough(they will wear in) but for 5 bills its a steal.

I haven't had any problems with the three I personally own (two 512s and a 552), though I did have battery issues with my work-issued 511. The N battery just doesn't cut it compared to a AA.

Having said that, due to a massive lawsuit regarding EOTech's apparent issues holding zero in extreme temperature conditions, we switched ours out and went with a Sig Romeo.

Perhaps someone with more info can chime in, but apparently one could exchange their EOtechs for retail value because of the lawsuit.

Personally, I think they're fine, but if you'll be using it in extreme weather differences, there could be zeroing problems.

Randallflagg · 02-11-2018, 12:15 AM

Yeah, I have a 512 on my AR and it works fine. I understand that EoTech had a recall on a bunch of theirs, but the 512 on mine has worked flawlessly for a number of years - rain and shine.

Honestly, I don't know of anyone who has had a problem with theirs.

On My AR10, though I use a Trijicon ACOG and have never been happier.

I believe the Eotech exchange is over. I put an Eotech on my Tavor but never used it. I didn’t like the bulkiness of it as the Tavor is already a bit on the heavy side. I’m throwing a suppressor on it eventually and wanted to keep the weight down as much as possible. I’ve been waiting 10 months for my suppressor. Pathetic.

I went with the Trijicon MRO and I love it. Big field of view, small, and the battery lasts forever.

Tried to pick up an Eagle Arms AR from the OP gun show last night for $400. The guys card reader was broken so i walked out empty handed minus a few MREs.

My friend picked up a really nice Swiss K31 for $525. About in as good as condition as can be for a rifle made in 1946.
