Damn. Nice weapon bro.
Nice looking rifle! Is that a cocking knob I see on the bolt carrier? If so, I’m curious for the reasoning. Any tips on PVS-30 mounting are appreciated as well.
With larger scopes the ocular is often in the way of operating the charging handle easily and quickly. Also I am a left hand shooter and in a prone position I can charge the bolt using the charging handle on the bolt without unduly raising up from my natural point of aim, IF it is ever necessary to do so. Lastly if you get wounded in one arm you can operate the bolt by holding the rifle upright, butt on the ground and “kick start” the bolt with your foot.
I have had some issues with the PVS-30 holding well on the accessory picatinny rails. So I put a 1/8″ washer or buffer between the hand guard and the picatinny plate when mounting the plate. If you select a longer mounting screw be careful you do not impinge on the gas tube, etc.
Other than that I have a low mounted scope that aligns well with the PVS 30 ocular, place the ocular about 1/4″ from the scope objective and I do use a neoprene wrap connecting the scope and PVS 30 to keep out stray light. I have read lots of people do fine without the wrap especially on moonless nights. Lastly I also mount a good IR light on the both rifles.
This is the setup for the AR 10 which is my overwatch rifle. On my recon stye carbine I tend to use helmet mounted NODS and have an IR laser on the carbine which is easy to see looking over the top of the carbine optic. The following article may help also.

Makes good sense, I might have to look into getting a new BCG… Thanks for the reply.
Get it now Bro. If the administrations changes despite the best efforts of all you can bet a ASW ban will be quick to come.
