Nice. Does that sight clear the stock hopper?

The red dot just barely clears the stock hopper...doesn't clear it at all with my Ricochet. Luckily, at the last few scenarios I've played, hopper / marker hits do not count.
Ideally, I have to run some sort of Offset / Riser combination to clear the hopper as well as allow easy use with my mask. Just trying to find a combination that won't look hideous.
Have you ever seen anyone with the 45* offset on the raised sight rail?

No, but I've seen a raised sight rail on an offset sight mount. I think one of the specops guns have that setup in their gallery. Its a bit much as I think the 45* offset is good enough even with a stock (I know because I have an offset mount).

Looks good, TD. Did you have that Flatline shroud custom made? The only place I've seen it like that is out of the UMS. Nice job.
Question... where do you keep your left hand while you're playing?

Question... where do you keep your left hand while you're playing? -Mavro Actually...I got the shroud of ebay. Not bad for 15.00. As for my left hand, most of the time I hold onto either the mag (the corner near the fin) or the rear portion of the flatline. At some point I'd like to try adding a rail / foregrip to the shroud. -D |

Looks great. That is how I held my A-5 when I had the MP5 mag on it. I just held the Flatline shroud. Felt comfortable too.

I haven't asked so I'd better not. It's on page 31, 4th from the bottom of the good old A5OG photo gallery though. |
