**UPDATED PHOTOS**

Well it's no secret that I got one. Here are some "field" pics of my XCR-L w/16" Heavy Barrel 1/8 twist and Elcan Specter DR on top.

Re: XCR Porn

Ok, Here is my "Insturment" and the "Custom Case" I made for it! Didn't want it to Scream "GUN", more like,
"Baby make your own Sweet Music!"

And while it isn't a XCR, this is a little something I built for my son!

It is a Hi-Point 9mm carbine with a ATI stock, 1913 top rail added, and the same set up as the XCR, GG&G flip up rear BUIS, MI flip up ft sight and a EOTech 512.

Re: XCR Porn

Nice pictures. I'm still stuck in Huntsville this week. Then when I get back home to Denver I've got to see about replacing my digital camera that died.

I'll have a brand new DSA FAL to take some pictures of as well as the new sling and vertical grip with Pmags for the XCR.

Re: XCR Porn

Itstock, I see you've mounted your ACOG way forward in front of the rear BUIS. My ACOG is the TA31 and has 1.5" of eye relief. I've been researching the options to put on my new FAL and was looking at the TA11F which has 2.5" or thereabouts eye relief to keep from getting hit by it on recoil with the heavier caliber.

What version do you have and can you get a good cheek weld with it that far forward and still see through it?

About BUIS and ACOGs. I was under the impression that BUIS wouldn't work through a 4X power scope. You can't keep the front sight in focus.

IMHO: that being the case, the only time BUIS are relevant with a 4X ACOG is if you have a quick-detach mount. Since you have to remove the entire scope to use the BUIS, there's no point in trying to mount it forward of the rear sight.

In fact, I think that ACOGs are built to fit neatly over a folder rear sight.

One solution is to use the ACOG TAO1NSN because it has back-up sights integrated into it.

Re: XCR Porn

Chef Dennis,
Wow...I don't know what to say other than thanks! I'm glad my pic and rifle could be an inspiration to others...that's really cool! I take the rifle with me to work quite a bit, and it never fails to draw attention...I don't know how many times I've had to "demo" it, showing function of controls, break down, etc. I even have a handful of folks that were so impressed with it, that they're ready to purchase one!

Re: XCR Porn

This is the basic rifle setup. The only thing missing is the Troy BUIS.

This is a shot of the new gas block adjustment knob. Very simple & fast, no tools required.
Image


This is a crappy shot of the Smith Vortex Flash Hider. Removing the A2 was pretty easy with enough force. The Vortex went on in no time.
Image


I went with the MagPul CTR stock. I have the commercial version. The commercial tube I had on hand is a little bit longer than a Mil-Spec tube. This gives me a little bit more LOP to accommodate my 38” sleeve length. As you can see I am also using a CTR cheek riser. This brings the height up to where it would be on an AR.
Image


I mounted my Leupold Mark 4 MR/T 1.5 – 5 scope on my XCR. I am using a LaRue Tactical SPR mount. My SPR mount is a bit too long for the MR/T but it is what I had. Overall I love this set-up.
Image


This is another shot of the MR/T in the LaRue SPR QR mount.
Image


The lit reticle on the Mark4 MR/T is not visable in bright sunlight but at dusk or early in the morning it really helps. Overall the light gathering on the MR/T is outstanding. This is not a surprise to anyone who owns Leupold scopes. They work very well.
Image


This is the BOBRO Vertical Forward Grip that I mentioned in the great big XCR thread. It locks up very solidly and I am very pleased with it.

Re: XCR Porn

I'll answer in order of importance! The green laser on my gun serves no REAL purpose at all. It is SUPER bright and will reach as far as the human eye can see. It's fun to play with on and off the gun, getting the dog to chase it around, shining it on houses miles away, etc. (while OFF the gun). The downfall of the laser is that you can see exactly where the beam is/coming from. It's another high quality, hong kong knock off laser.

It also happens to come with a REALLY NICE, high quality quick release. You can get them off ebay for around $45. The price is worth it alone for the quick release setup that is included.

Re: XCR Porn

I tossed it on for the pictures (quick mount), a .223 (especially light 16" barrel) should only ever need irons
How do you figure that?
It's only truly effective for mid range. With just a little bit of practice, anyone and everyone should be able to hit their target out to 400 yards, and with a bit more, 600 shouldn't be a problem.

Re: XCR Porn

That's the way I have mine set up. Here's a picture. BTW, I can see the front post through the ACOG in the lower half of the view but, of course, the rear sight is folded. My ACOG has the big thumb screws and can easily/quickly be removed if necessary. In addition, I have no problems with a solid cheekweld. I've even tried the TA31 on my FAL and had no problems with eye relief.

You can focus on the front sight and something far way? I hadn't even bothered trying with my ACOG, because I can't focus on the front sight when I use my EOTech 3X magnifier. Or if I do focus on it, everything behind it is blurry. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I just have the thumb screws on my ACOG too. Mine has the built in BUIS so I don't really need to ditch it quickly.

You get a good cheekweld? It's definitely different than an AR. I have an Aimpoint ML3 that I also mount on the XCR. It's got the GG&G mount and I don't use any spacer so it's low on the receiver. That co-witnesses in the top third, but my sights stay folded so it's not an issue. I can still use them if I need, they are just in the top third of the Aimpoint.
