    Don't think so. Only three semis availlable: AUG, German AR15 and Sig 550.

    How are you liking the TMR reticle? I think its how Mil-dot should have been from day one.

    It opens the rear scope cover.

    Thanks......so I assume you just press it and it pops open, sweet.

    This whole mil dot ranging in adverse weather conditions at those distances is really something else.

    It is a vast improvement over the old mil-dot, much easier to do hold-offs and range with.

    Going to take a moment to say something about Rock Island Armory's customer service.

    I had a couple of issues with my pistol, small issues, but still needed correction. The functional issue was that my slide stop just didn't work, the hump wouldn't engage mag followers and lock the slide on the last round. The second is I had a shallow cut, wide space rear sight that is more meant for quick acquisition and defensive shooting, I preferred the tighter opening and deeper cut style that my friend has. After emailing Ivan, he asked for my address and sent out replacement parts. I got the package today (about a week later). I opened the bag to find not only the parts, but 2 of each. They sent 1 serrated slide stop, 1 checkered, 1 target-style rear sight, and 1 rear sight like I already have. I know the parts might cost about 5 cents for them to make, but that speaks greatly if their desire to 'get it right' with the customers. Both of the new slide stops function flawlessly in all of my mags except one I butchered ($7 mag). Haven't put the rear sight in yet but it looks like what I asked for.

    The second thing is their presence within the community. They are very, very active on their Facebook page. While a lot of people think Facebook is just to cry/whine/talk about worthless stuff, it's actually a very important and effective business tool as we keep heading into the future. Their CEO, Martin, posts updates, answers questions, and even posts photos of various manufacturing process of different parts and pieces. Other companies have Facebook pages too, let's use Glock as an example. Glock's Facebook is almost purely advertising and shooting the bull. RIA uses their facebook as a gateway for communication and customer support in addition to the normal marketing and advertising. It truly is incredible to see this from a company which produces a 1911 that ends up being sold for $380.

    And with that they have earned a lifetime customer.

    The suppressor is just a fake can on a real mk23 unfortunalty - supppressors are not legal here. The 30 round+ mags, sights with nv brightness settings and lasers are legal. Just tactical lights on rifles are a no go - but allowed on pistols.

    Bought a Bore sight today from the local PX, handy bit of kit really, seeing as our range days keep getting cancelled. At least now I feel confident that if I go to slot someone I wont be killing a kid 5 metres to the left... lol

    Dont hold your breath mate. Bore sites will put you on paper, but are not perfect.

    Small note, bore sight needs to center on the crown to be some what accurate. The muzzle brake may not be concentric enough. I like mine.
