Are there more changes to come, ie tape switches? View Quote Correct I'm planning on doing some switches on the left side. I got one for the laser setup now. But will have to work on a solution for the light. Mlock is actually a new thing to me so I'm trying to take in all the options available. It's a little bit overwhelming actually lol. But add switches and probably a small handstop. Maybe some rail scales. Then off for a m81 camp job |

Check out the UNITY TAPS SYNC and UNITY HOT BUTTON solutions for your light/laser combo. Depending on which variant of the TAPS you choose, you'd have the option of activating both your light and laser simultaneously with a single button press. Since you already have an onboard IR illuminator, I understand that this might not be important to you. The Mlok system is very easy to use and saves quite a bit of time/weight. You'll figure it out in no time. TAPS SYNC HOT BUTTON |

Attached File Outside checking out the setup. I have an XS rail inbound and expect to move my OTAL-C IR and Surefire light over to this for .38 spl night thumping. I REALLY like the EOtech on this one. |

Played around with the light setup and added the otal. The offside looks like crap, but once I get the cable management figured out it will be dang sweet.

View Quote It probably is a little wonky, but it's not a noticeable issue. The center of the light beam is in the ballpark of where it's supposed to be if that makes any sense. |

One question. Has anyone actually used any of these creations in a combat situation. Looks like a lot of weight and complication for no real gain.

Well speaking for myself, I haven't used ANY type of weapon in combat.
I use my lever action for hunting and fun, and because of its reliability, accessories and ease of use I'd have zero qualms using it in a defensive situation. |

View Quote Combat situation?... I sure hope not. Lever guns, including our "Tactical" creations here, would be wildly inefficient in modern-day combat. You'd be heavily outgunned by any adversary. (Having served in a special operations capacity in Iraq, I've witnessed the imbalance of war first-hand... It's always better to be on the side that is better equipped. ) Personally, my tactical lever actions accomplish a few things... They're fun to build and look cool. (We all know that looking cool is the #1 rule of being "tactical." Lol.) They're also fun to shoot, hunt, and train with. The training component is the most important consideration for me in the event we see an extreme tyrannical overreach in our lifetime that relieves us of our evil, black "assault rifles." Although wildly inefficient in comparison, I want to maintain the same capabilities with a simple firearm as I do with my M4's... Red dot optics, IR lasers, white/IR illumination, etc... Sort of my take on the old "Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it" adage. Weight was not a consideration when putting my builds together, but they're really not much different than a fully decked-out M4. Also, did I mention that these are fun... Now, no more pissing in the proverbial picture thread corn flakes, please! |
