Hey ASF, it's been a while.

Now that I have a job, I can now afford to channel all of my money into airsoft at a higher rate; as such, I'll be acquiring some exciting things in the near future. Stay tuned for awesome!

Just got something that I've been wanting for a long, long time. I'm sure old school chat regulars can recall me talking about one of these bad boys all the time:

VFC MK17 MOD 0, baby!

Damn that Mk43 is HUGEEE, I wouldnt even have a place to store that bad boy lol.

But I personally like ur 553 better on the Mk43, but thats just my personal preference.

Yea I can help u with ur WOC build Lizzard, PM me if u have any questions.

Overall how do u like the SpecterDR 1-4 replica???

Ive been thinking about picking one up for awhile now.

Heheh, I know, love the damn thing. I agree as well, the 553 looks a bit better. If I ever get a MK46, though, the Specter would look great.

Thanks for the offer, I'll definitely send you a PM once I turn back towards my WOC project.

As for the AABB SpecterDR, it seems pretty nice. It has the accurate reticle, both a red dot and illuminated crosshairs function, and the choice between 1x and 4x zoom is pretty nifty. Externally it looks and feels great, and has all the trademarks. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, though, but I think I'll stick it on my Sentry this Saturday to try it out. From what I've seen so far, it's a nice compromise between a 4x scope and a red dot sight. In 1x with red dot activated, you can use it almost like you would a red dot sight, and even aim with both eyes open. However, since it is a magnified scope, even on 1x there is some eye relief and some distortion between what each eye sees. What you're seeing through the scope is not the same size as what you see with your other eye. I've found that you can still use it in that manner, though it'll take a little getting used to.
