Looks like a nice setup.
^Agreed. Interesting spot to mount the light. Wonder why he prefers that location.
Search around here and you will plenty of information on the 12 o’clock light mounting.
Looks like a pretty nice stick. Wonder what the price will be?
That location allows a shadow-free beam of light in line with the sights. When shooting from around cover this location ensures the light is also away from your cover where it will not blind you, rather than having it off to one side where it requires more exposure or may cause light to splash back if you don’t get it out far enough.
Nice stick. Bad script.
In the last news letter Mr. Vickers sent out he hinted to the fact that DD might offer a carbine that was confirgured by him and fully endorsed. That speaks volumes about DD’s product.
Limited Edition to only 250 rifles, wonder how much?
Slicing the pie…
Not very flattering camera work.
I’m with Plato on this one.
It’s the way to be if your setup allows. Barrel shadow, skinnier profile, allows your hand to be way out on the hand guards without having to come back to activate your light etc…
Some things have changed on this carbine, but not the light.
I approve this message! Larry Vickers saying Wazzzzuuuupppp was priceless :laugh:
I really wish my bonus was here now so I could buy one. I guess I will just have to settle for the DD M4v3 I planned on buying closer to the holidays.
Not just LAV but ‘the LAV’.
He needs to watch out lest someone gets him that in chrome to hang around his neck.:sarcastic:
Over on Lightfighter someone stated about 2200 for the gun and about 3100 as a package, Retail.
Wow…
I’ve got about 1700 in mine as it sits…with basically the same components minus the I-Mod…I’m not doing to deny it, the LAV theory had a lot to do with my choice equipment and its set-up…
I had the opportunity to handle the pre-production rifle a couple months ago. It is nice. LAV showed it to the class, lots of oohs and ahhs.
Looks like they’re making up for the extra weight of the RIS II rail by using a lightweight barrel. Of course, this is just an assumption and I could be completely wrong.
Interesting how LAV is sticking with a carbine-length gas system, as well. I assume he does so for training purposes, ie, train with what you’d fight with.
Very nice setup - lots of BCM, TangoDown, DD, VLTOR, BFG, Magpul, Surefire, and Aimpoint goodness!
This post could obviously almost only be attributed to you. However I also don’t like the moving while looking from below angle either, too MTV.
Just curios, what is dictating the optic position on these? This one and the one shown in the video both have the T1 mounted towards the rear of the upper.
Im sure they have their reasons but since it’s limited, it wouldve been cool if it were a 16 midlength instead of a carbine, with a RISII Middy FSP exclusive to this run of rifles.
On top of the benefits of a midlength, from a business standpoint, it would make for a truly limited carbine that you cannot replicate on a build. Just my 2 cents. Im sure it’s a great rifle nonetheless.
Between this and the EAG unit from BCM, it’s gotten extremely easy for use to point new users in a very good direction off the bat.
I still wonder if they’ll come out with an OmegaX version wearing MagPul furniture.
You can’t mount a light at 12 o’clock on a midlength gun unless you use a rail mounted front sight, which brings it’s own set of drawbacks.
