Makes good sense, thanx.

I'VE DECIDED TO GO THE OKO ROUTE AND FIT A SCHROUD FOR PROTECTION

No, I am in the RSA. I know Rescomp is eager to sevice it's customers in the USA.

I use silicone oil to lube my 550's. It doesn't attract dust nor does primer ash stick to it, and oh yes I strip them completely every 20 000 rounds or so. I find the silicone penetrates well into tight fitting spots.

Two very different opinons. anyone else

OKO sights are price friendly. Without suggesting another sight for use on CAR15 what is your opinion on using it (durabillity) ?

I use CR Speed equipment and found the quality and sevice excellent. I know Franco is keen to service any customers on the Globe. Dunno the reason for the individual complaints.
