The big deal on this optic is uses a micro-processor to actually measure the light at the target- not where your standing. This means your reticle will automatically adjust itself as you move from target to target adjusting for each lighting scenario. This eliminates the problems with other optics that use ambient light. Your reticle wont disappear in with a bright target, and wont overpower with a low light target. The housing is also titanium rather than aluminum, and it only comes with an a.r.m.s. lever mount. You can also program the optic to your personal preferences on how bright or dim you want your reticle. Hope that helps!

Don’t need titanium, my TA01′s adjust themselves to ambient light coming in without electronics, and I would rather have a LaRue mount anyway (already tried the ARMS mounts). I still think these optics are going to be a tough sell. Oh, one more thing, no bible verses. That’s a deal killer right there. Maybe he can market his scopes to atheists.

Unless you are bench resting andshooting targetsshooting, you probably will not notice any difference between 7n6 and quality (Fed, IMI, etc.) 556.
I have an LWRC M6AK and it shoots essentially as well as my 556.
Terminal ballistics of 7n6 are better (IMO) than all but the exotic 556 rounds.

I have a M1S with 20″ bbl and float tube, NM iron sights, plain muzzle.
From the prone position as in Service Rifle, it will hold the X ring @ 100 yards using the SR-1 and SR-21 targets, using surplus.
Sorry, but I don’t have any scanned in. I built this for the kid to have cheap short range practise and it becomes everybody’s favorite once they shoot it….

Kind of a drift but is there really much of a gain (other than sight radius if using irons) in going with the 20″ barrel instead of a 16″? I mean the 5.45 velocity is up there anyway and doesn’t lose much out of a short barrel so does the extra few inches stabilize even more to show a big difference accuracy wise?

5.45 was designed for use in 16″ barrels, and has some great velocity already out of a 16″, so I see no practical benefits in a longer pipe. Vuurwapen did a great video on 5.45 at 600yds, and printed some nice groups at that range as well, which is way more performance than the Soviets ever envisioned for the caliber, unless talking about a long-barreled RPKS-74.

so then this 5.45 is actually a pretty good accurate round??? why is everybody talking about Cproduct mags for this… will regular Pmags not work..????
so is it safe to say that a 5.45 Ar should be able to produce 1moa or better????

5.45 hits stuff that I point it at as far as I can see with the naked eye. I don’t shoot paper so I’m not sure what groups I’m getting.

If you search, there was a recent post (not necessarily here ) by someone who modified PMag followers to work with 5.45 to near if not full capacity. Unmodified, the case taper of the 5.45 round causes the rounds to bind at far less than full (30 round) capacity.
I don’t know as I have had what I guess is extremely good luck with C-Products mags.

Exotic rounds, yes; others no.
The “not really a hollow point” tip of 7n6 allows the nose to “collapse” on impact and tumble.
Remember, we are talking about surplus rounds which are around $0.15 each, not exotic Mk7422 at $1.00 each.
If I had a choice of which I was going to be shot with, it would NOT be 7n6 5.45.

It’s as accurate (or consistent I guess) as the 5.56 stuff I paid double for. At least it is once I realized how important Loctite is on mounting screws…
