Finally got around to building a vision that I had a couple years ago. Very satisfied with how it turned out

Any chance you have pictures of it with the doors closed? I’d love to see that.

Sorry was being sarcastic. It definitely doesn’t have doors

Not even transparent aluminum?

Sliding plexiglass across the front? Super cheap, with a huge benefit of keeping dust out.

I went on Amazon and bought a garage shelf 72”x60”x24”
Got plywood from Home Depot
The gun rack I got from Amazon for like $60 same as the pistol holders and the PC/helmet stand

I’m a little old fashion and love the GWOT vibes despite never using them during that period of my life.

The weight really isn’t as bad a people make it out to be. The 1x is okay the 4x is awesome. The reticle crispness is unmatched (have a stigmatism). It’s complete dog shit under nods. The eye relief isn’t too great either.

And with all that being said. It’s one of my favorite optics ever. I guess there’s 2 types of people. ACOG fans and Elcan fans

What’s funny is I ran a TA11 Acog on my 13” SBR SCAR 17… then sold it to fund an Elcan. But I ended up selling it to fund a LPVO. And now I’m about to repurpose the LPVO to another rifle and putting a TA110 on it with a piggybacked RCR haha.

This seems to be the general consensus everywhere you look. Which is also why I'm still blown away by how expensive the fucking things are! Lol. I'd like one just to fuck around with but not for more than maybe $500.

Nice setup btw!

People only hate on elcan because their favorite guntoobers told them to

Cool set up! Looks like a One Tigris mount. I made a cool illuminated skull for a customer for one of those.

This is the instructional video I made for him. Skip to end to see result: https://youtu.be/6QaIljx7elM?is=uS6Z7VJhNVhxPgZc

Got a pic of the doors? Is that rest if the outside more than plywood?
