Nice! I haven't been able to install mine yet. I just ordered my "upper vice blocks" yesterday.
Did you order the proprietary DD barrel nut wrench that they say you MUST have to install it? If you haven't, DON'T.
Mark can chime in here, but he used another tool that did the job just perfectly.
a castle nut for a butt-stock.
That sounds right. Glad you know!
When I took the nut out of the bag, I figured that the Castle nut wrench would fit it. Saved me $20
And here is Part II for today.
Mr. Postman dropped off an interesting little toy today. An Aimpoint T1 Micro clone from a company called Primary Arms. Primary Arms Micro Dot (Gen 2)
I'd REALLY like to upgrade to a real Aimpoint Micro someday, but the funds and necessity just aren't there right now. Primary Arms recently marked there entire lineup of Micro knockoffs as "Blemished", because this batch didn't meet their QC spec of being a completely sealed unit. You can read more about this deal here: Pics and comments about the Micro Dot - AR15.COM
The good news about the "Blemished" deal was that price on this unit was only $59! I added a $30 quick-release riser and the deal was still only $93 shipped. I've heard very positive reviews of the Primary Arms clones, so a sub-$100 RDS was just the ticket.
Initial impressions are quite positive, and I'll be reviewing it more completely in another thread at a later date.
This is like putting UTG rails on a Daniel Defense gun! Blasphemy!
I quickly mounted it up and snapped a cell pic. So far I REALLY like the size and weight of the micro. Oh man. . . . .
Note to self: Don't buy any more clones of popular optics I may be lusting after.

That little tiny optic looks funny with MILES AND MILES of rail out in front.

Q: Do you need a riser at all if you want an absolute cowitness of the irons and dot? I noticed on the link that the riser is for a lower 1/3 cowitness.
