public service announcement

fuck hockey tape fuck 100mph tape ESPECIALLY fuck "goon tape" on principle of name alone

Pay the extra cash to import some Scapa Sniper Tape Trust me, you won't regret it If the British have their shit together with anything, it's this tape.

Thin fabric base that's easy to tear strips of and flexible enough to conform to a variety of surfaces while still remaining durable and grippy

Clear adhesive that doesn't seem like it will leave behind sticky residue or crusty glue snot, but still plenty strong

Can be re-applied multiple times since the adhesive doesn't lose all its grip the moment you peel it off

Comes in a coyote brown color and cool mint green color that's like a mix between foliage and sage green

Actually sticks to webbing fairly well when you need to wrap loose end excess on straps and slings

Comes in big rolls

This tape is my new favorite gun substance and will continue to use it going forwards.

OCL Polonium K

- really good tone. Cheap.

- only slightly longer than a Sandman S, But noticably quieter. Especially downrange.

Dead air Keymo mount

- very repeatable.

- hard to carbon lock.

- easy to get on and off. This is important because if you are facing a near Peer, A hot suppressor glows like a lightsaber on nvgs.

SOLGW NOX flashhider OR Dead Air flash hider

- one of the best flash hiders on the market.

Faxon gunner profile 13.9 barrel

- lighter than a gov. Profile

- 41V50/4150CMV machine gun barrel steel.

- nitrided

- legal with a P&W

ALT:

Rosco K9 13.95"

- tough as nails.

- 416R, so accurate AF.

- nitrided, so good barrel life.

- if you expect elevated fire rates, it has a lot more mass around the chamber.

Superlative arms adjustable gas block

- vented/blow off block reduces gas in your face.

- tunable. Which is important for a suppressed rifle.

Nitrided gas tube

- black.

- basically the same price as stainless steel.

13.5" geissele mk16 rail

- tough as nails.

- lots of real estate.

Either a cloud defense REIN or HRT OWLS.

- both come with switches and mounts.

- both are super throw scout lights.

- both are 18650 compatible.

Standard forged upper.

- bro who cares.

- yes with a forward assist.

KAK K-spec down vent BCG in DLC.

- Less gas in your face.

- duel ejector.

- sand cut.

Aero precision breach/radian raptor/geissele super abmi charging handle.

- it doesn't really matter.

- get a decent ambi charging handle.

- hell, grab a breek Warhammer.

Pick one:

- Primary arms Nova 1-6 in a PLX mount.

Or

- Primary arms 5x micro prism on an ADM AD-B2

Both with an offset holosun SCRS. You can add a set of BUIS if you're paranoid.

Forward Controls ambi lower

- ambi where it counts.

- not ambi where it hurts. (Mag release for right handers)

- 3 position selector.

- with safety stops. (Important later.)

- tbh any ambi bolt catch lower with safety gates works.

B5 P-grip 23

- It grips you back.

- in a pinch you can use it to sand off your fingerprints so they can't ID your corpse as easy.

Either:

B5 vertical mlok grip/BCM gunfighter VFG

- Let's be honest

- there's no practical difference.

- get whichever is cheaper.

Fostech echo 2 Trigger

- gun go brrrrrrrrrrr

- double tap machine

- going to be honest, the primary reason for this choice is automatic double taps. While you can simulate full auto with one, at CQB, being able to dump four rounds into a dude with two trigger pulls is great.

KAK 9 position A5 buffer tube & weight.

- A5 buffer.

- 9 position tube.

- cheaper than the loyal 9 I stuck on my gun.

Geissele super 42 buffer spring

- yeeting that bold shut

- any increased power recoil spring works. Get a springco if you want.

Vltor Emod or Imod

- I'm a slut for VLTOR.

- can store 16650's and spacer rings for your light if you want.

- the Emod has that clubfoot that you can stuff button cells for your optics too.

- no other reason.

You know, It's been awhile since we did a gunblr game.

Spec out a general purpose rifle. That's it, that's the whole prompt. If you're building a general purpose rifle, how would you build it? Bonus points for explaining why you made choices.

So I can pretty much confirm at this point the WADSN bootleg Hot Buttons are just better than the originals.

Pros:

- Dirt fucking cheap - $25 each instead of fucking $95 each.

- Cables are nice and flexible - unity cables are too stiff.

- The MLOK versions actually have enough body clearance to tuck the cable against the base of the top rail if mounted on the 45-degree MLOK slots of something like a Geissele Mk16 rail.

- Buttons aren't too sensitive, there's a nice 'wall' before the constant-on clicky function so momentary presses are much easier. Surface has a nice texture compared to the smooth Unity ones.

- The anodizing and CNC work on these cheap, Chinese bootlegs is somehow cleaner than legit Unity Hot Buttons.

- Surefire plug versions are actually nice and tight - no play or flickering, which is more than can be said for a lot of legit Surefire plugs.

- Crane plug versions are actually compatible with Steiner laser units without prolapsing their ports.

- You can buy versions without logos so your switchology isn't a goddamn billboard.

- These aren't discontinued; they're all over ebay and aliexpress (for the time being).

- The FDE anodized version ACTUALLY looks like FDE and pairs with Geissele DDC quite well as opposed that honey mustard golden garbage finish that Unity uses on their products.

Cons:

- The screw and nut sets the MLOK versions come with are absolute trash - replace them at your earliest possible convenience (I'll let you know what I end up using).

- The body tolerances of MLOK versions are a little undersized - there is a bit of play in all directions, but even the shitty default screws these come with lock them down fairly well.

- Both the Surefire and Crane plug versions have a 'clicky' button - this may lead to some potential constant-on issues when using these with laser aiming modules - especially those with a double-tap constant on function.

All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend these as white light switches if you like Unity Hot Buttons but hate the cost and the issues they come with.

Modlite weapon lights

This weeks post is going to be about modlite weapon lights and why I am switching all of my weapon lights to them. For a few years now my go to has always been the stream light line of rifle lights. They are always a good light for the price and a great intro to weapon lights. One of the nice things about them is they pretty much come with everything you need they come with a Picatinny mound a clicky tail cap or a tape switch tail cap and they will get you going at a low cost and no hassle.

But what do you do if you want more than what the streamlight an offer. That’s where the more high-end weapon light companies step in. Things like your surefire, cloud defense, and my current favorite Modlite. My first one that I picked up second hand off Tac Swap is a FDE 18350 OKW weapon light. I was very impressed with the performance of the light had itself and the small compact size of it is fantastic for smaller rifle builds or pistol caliber sub guns.

Some of the things that I really like about these modlites is just how customizable they are and the availability of different parts mounts switches caps etc. my 18350 is currently set up with the modlite clicks tail cap and it’s on a cheap arisaka knock off mount that I had in the parts drawer. I plan on switching the cabin mount and switch to something more like what my new modlite set up is which I will get into shortly. I really enjoy that unlike some other light companies these lights are interchangeable with a ton of different parts. They use the scout mount, They use surefire style tail cabs, I love that they use rechargeable batteries and if you buy the complete light kit it comes with one battery and the charger for them.

Now I will get into my newest weapon light set up that i picked up from brownells Thats on my odg geissele build. The light itself is a modlite 18650 okw light with a surefire ue tail cap. I do plan on changing the tail cap to the surefire ds very shortly. The mount is the arisaka I line scout mount which tucks up nice and tight to the mk16 rail at the 1:30 position. Again I do plan on switching the mount to the Unity light wing mount which will make sense with the switch that I am running. The switch is the Unity fusion hub/ modlite switch. I’ve really been really been digging this setup and I think I’ll like it a lot more when I switch caps and switch to the Unity mount.

Now let’s get onto Performance, starting off with I’ll be honest I don’t have thousands of rounds through these rifles with these lights on nor do I run around every night using these lights. But I have used both of these a handful of times at night and the performance of them is outstanding. I will attach a photo underneath this paragraph that shows the beam pattern of my 18650 light hitting a tree line about 80 to 90 yards away. You can see the center hotspot of these OKW light heads is very intense in the overall flood of the rest of the beam provides a very nice circular outline of light.

Overall I’ve really been enjoying these modlites and would highly suggest anyone looking for a good weapon like to head over to brownells and check them out. I’m excited to get more time using these lights because they are just so good. I might do a part two to this after a year or so of using it to give my opinion on them then.

Thanks for reading and happy shooting.

Got some Magpul rail covers for my URGI-ish build - unfortunately since my Geissele Mk16 rail is the newer version with steel QD inserts, I had to dremel some cutouts to get the last two covers to sit flush

A little annoying, but I wasn't about to start putting out a million WTB posts just to wait for some shit-eating redditor to upcharge me on a cherry-picked insert-less QD version because it's "clone correct".

C'est la vie.
