Haha, I wish I had the patience/inclination to sell everything that winds up in the bits box on. As the man above says it’s the Unity FAST Riser. Bumps any lower 1/3rd co-witness height to a 2.26” centreline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) 2.26" - stupid yanks, why not round it up or down and make it an easy 57 or 58mm 😶 Edited June 28, 2022 by Davegolf My old Lenovo X201 needs cleaning under the keyboard :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedbird_666 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 2.26in?…pfft.. all the cool kids run with 2.91in risers now for Passive NV…. In all seriousness Chris Costa (remember him?) did a very cool video about optic height a couple weeks ago. Well worth a watch. Amazing back garden he’s got too. Tall optic risers make a lot of sense for Airsoft use, especially when it comes to face masks we like to wear. I’ve been experimenting with tall optic risers (2.5in+) for a few months, and I wouldn’t go back to anything lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robinson Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Maybe it's a problem for shorter pew pews.... But, but more than once I've forgotten to lift the gun high enough to clear my cover with the barrel and ended up shooting myself in the chest with a ricochete... Of course with perfect line of sight with the optic. 😂😂 Stratton Oakmont 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Definitely tall reiser to get a good 'mesh weld' with your stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alxndrhll Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 BIggest issue I've found over the years is clone shite optics don't have enough adjustment to zero them properly when on some sort of 'skyscraper' mount, granted I'd wager 9/10 airsofters don't bother zero'ing optics... with a further 9/10 on top of that which only have them on a rif for looks 🤷♂️. Certainly felt weird having used a 2.26" or carry handle mounted optic years and going back down to an ACOG on the L119, but I don't have the heart to mess with the aEStheTIcs so I'll just have to accept that the piggybacked RMR is what'll be seeing most of the use 👀.

Enid_Puceflange Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Experienced a bit of a dick-dance trying to buy this Seller lives 40 miles from me, and it was a post only sale He seemed reluctant to let me pick it up. Anyway, after 5 days of radio silence he contacted me to say he was passing my front door!! RESULT So saved a road trip and he threw in 3 bottles of unopened gas to go with it Never skirmished Minty Just wanted something light and useable in the colder months Edited June 29, 2022 by Enid_Puceflange johnnyj, Speedbird_666 and Jacob Wright 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus absolutely hates strangers coming to the house to buy stuff. She's paranoid that they'll turn out to axe-wielding murderers or something similar. So I can understand that some people have some anxiety about unknown visitors rocking up on their doorsteps. Gotta love a stock TM Glock. I regret selling mine many moons back.

Speedbird_666 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 A cheap set of Howard Leights I bought off here. They are better than I thought they would be TBH - I wasn't expecting much after owning (and recently selling) Peltors, but they are good enough for some CQB BBWarz.

I’ve got a couple of pairs and over the yrs I’ve seen some call them “cheap’n’cheerful” but me personally I think that’s an unfair description as for the money compared to a lot of the Chinese ‘knock off’ sets I think there far superior and more than adequate for the job .

Tried my neighbour's Aliexpress super-cheapos that use an Earmor style casing but cost around £25 a couple of hours ago. The sound quality was awful and they are completely mono-aural. Not saying that these Howard Leights have the same quality of directional hearing as my Peltor Comtac XPs, but the sound quality is pretty good and I won't be so paranoid about these being nicked in the safezone as my Comtacs either. Going to order some Gel cups from AliExpress. Tactical Pith Helmet and Druid799 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regrettably ordered from Evike a couple weeks back and it took about 8 calls, various firearms declaration forms, import info & multiple emails for them UPS brainlets to understand that the MWS bolt release and bare bolt i had ordered were not firearms & to release them from customs. If you can, cancel it and order the same barrel from WGCShop in HK. The 13.2" barrel is in stock https://www.wgcshop.com/products/emg-si-outer-barrel-for-marui-mws?variant=39408151625809 Took a while and one form that UPS had me fill in but it arrived last week no problem. Actually surprised as UPS is an absolute shit show usually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
