We have mixed opinions but more testing is needed before we hammer out the final conclusion. To be honest, the optic is still on this build for some testing. Strong housing, toolless battery change, and an integrated mount are just a few features that we like about the UH-1. We have others that we prefer but if it's what you have, just run the thing. Smooth adjustment, proper sizing, and durable design are really all that matters. It doesn’t matter if the sling is made by us or some other brand, just make sure you have one that works well. Simple is often best.Īs always, our sling is ready to work when needed or stowed with the retainer in place. They are also low profile and don’t require any hardware. The reality is, zip ties work really well and are cheap to replace if you need to cut one. Cable management for pressure pads has a lot of trends these days. We have an ATPIAL-C on this build with a pressure pad attached. All in all, it’s a solid light if you want a “one and done” setup. The vampire head on this light seems to have better candela than a standard M600 and has IR capability. The tail cap and mount for this light are made by Arisaka and are in stock on our website. We have found that they work very well on quad rail rifles that will be suppressed.Īs this is a gun for testing other gear, we added a SureFire M600V. Knights rail covers are beefy and not inexpensive, but they cut a lot of heat and save your hands from the cheese grater effect. At the moment, a simple grey works really well with most of our gear. If you don’t like how it looks, are going into a new environment, or have lost some of the texture through use, just paint it again. Paint jobs come and go on all our builds, but one cool part of the DIY rattle can job is the freedom to paint it again. Yes, that’s what this build started out as, but as the armory grew, we began using this platform for testing other products. For years, people have seen the Daniel Defense RIS II rail on a 10.3” upper and considered the rifle a MK18.
