Tired of the wheels in your DAA Range Cart Pro going flat? If you have looked for metric sized wheel replacements, you know they are very expensive or difficult to find. FTP has the solution for you! This kit replaces the leak prone factory wheels with solid wheels that are airless. Not only that, we add bearings to the wheels which make them roll as smooth as butter! Pushing your cart is easier than ever and the cart will still disassemble for transport in a suit case like the originals. Installation is simple. You just have to pop off the original wheels and slide on our new wheels with the supplied hardware. Now you don't have to worry about flat tires and an added bonus is some additional clearance to your backpack to help keep it clean and rub free. You can order on our web site: http://fasttoys.net/shop/FTP-DAA-Range-Cart-Wheel-Upgrade-Kit/

Same mounting pattern as RTS2 but it is slightly longer in the front so if you have a blast shield, you may have to clearance the shield slightly.

It is a little longer in the front (similar to the Sig Romeo 3 Max) so if you have a blast shield on an RTS2 Style mount, it would need to be cut slightly. If you email us at sales@fasttoys.net , we can provide you with a drawing.

As others have said, you need to dry fire to learn to present the gun in the same way each time, especially when you have unusual positions or strong hand/weak hand. If you cannot find the dot due to it being dim, I would suggest you go to an 8 MOA as the dot is much brighter, especially in the sun. Check out the FTP Alpha Optics 3 in our vendor forum. It is available in 6 or 8 MOA and has 97 % light transmission and a special anti reflective lens coating to make the dot brighter than many other brands out there.

Back from Nationals and these are ready to ship! Get an awesome red dot sight for a very good price :)

What brand is only lasting 6K on an open gun? That is like 2-3 months of shooting for me.

I've been running one on my open gun for about a year now and have had zero issues. I have about 30-40K rounds on it.

Stuart, I will email you the drawing.

We will try and get a pick up an RTS2 and Alpha Optic 3 side by side so you can view the overhang.

Sorry but we have no way to know. It would depend if there is enough room at the front of the slot to accommodate the extra length of the Alpha Optics 3. Do you have a picture of it with an RTS2 mounted and you could see if there is extra room?

I believe Sig Romeo 3 and Vortex Razor.

Same as RTS2 but they are slightly longer in the front so if you have a blast shield, it may need to be cut for clearance.

They are 379.00 USD right now: http://fasttoys.net/shop/FTP-Optics-Alpha-3-Red-Dot-Reflex-Sight/

Just a quick note to let you all know that we should have the Alpha 3 back in stock late next week. It's an AWESOME sight with glass size very similar to the SRO at a much better price. You will find the Max also incorporates many of the same features but will retail a lot higher. We also have a USPSA GM and Master offering for some limited individuals that would be willing to help promote our optics. If you are interested, please contact us at sales@fasttoys.net

There are pictures in this thread that show the Alpha Optics 2 (which is identical in size to the RT2) compared to the Alpha Optics 3. You can easily see the window is bigger especially in the top area which is where you working with the dot most of the time.

I have been running one on my open gun for the past 9 months. It has ran perfectly and the larger window and brighter dot are very noticeable. We just got approval to ship these to the U.S in the spring and we only had a few units left after that so not many people in the U.S will have one right now. There are some being run on Open guns in Canada and so far everyone has been happy. We should have them back in stock next month!

Personally I prefer the 8 MOA for exactly the reason you mentioned about being more visible in bright sunlight. However, you do give up a tiny bit in accuracy on line range partials etc. It is definitely a bit of personal preference. The glass we use also has a higher light transmission rate than the RTS2 glass.

Here is the FTP Optics Alpha 3 on the Production Optics Canadian Champion’s Shadow. He previously ran an RTS2 and loves how the larger window on our sight makes the dot easier to track under recoil. He didn’t even have to change the mount.

I would not personally use one but that is not to say that you shouldn't. They help to prevent battering of the frame but at the cost of shortening the stroke of the gun and introducing another possible failure point (especially the rubber shock buffs).

I love my PT Evo. It takes a while to get used to so expect some band aids from dry fire until you get used to it!

I don't think you will find many people running shock buffs on their open guns. They are short stroking the gun and introducing a possible failure point into the system. The compensator on an open gun bleeds off a lot of energy that would be going into the slide compared to a non compensated gun. That is why you can run such a light recoil spring in the first place.

Hello B.E members! We will be getting our next shipment of FTP Optics Alpha 3 Red Dots in July and I wanted to take a moment to formally introduce this optic to you and some of it's features in our own thread. Since we are a new sponsor, some of you may not be familiar with it or my company. My company is called FTP Shooting Sports and it is a division of Fast Toys. We are very passionate about our products and have been in business since 1998. We started as a performance car and truck parts company and branched out into competition shooting supplies about 6 years ago. Our business model has always been to provide quality products at reasonable prices, honestly and excellent customer service. I am the owner (Phillip Reddy) and I currently compete in the USPSA and IPSC Open Division in both the U.S.A and Canada. We have always actively participated in forums online to provide customer information, make new friends and expand the community. You can also find lots of posts on our social media accounts on Facebook & Instagram. I invite you to ask any questions you may have in this thread and we will be happy to answer them. We know there are a lot of choices on the market and we feel our optic has many benefits and the price point is very reasonable. Also, if you would like to pre-order a sight, you can contact us at sales@fasttoys.net or simply order one on the web site. We will be offering free shipping in the continental U.S as well. You can order here: http://fasttoys.net/ca/FTP-Optics-Alpha-3-Red-Dot-Reflex-Sight/ FTP Optics Alpha 3 Red Dot Reflex Sight The FTP Optics Alpha 3 Red Dot Reflex Sight is a competition grade optic built to exacting standards with one of the largest viewing windows on the market. Constructed of high grade aluminum, the optic weighs a scant 41.5 g including the battery. It is waterproof to 2 m and shockproof to 1000 G! FTP Optics are made by the leading manufacturer in the industry that also produce most of the name brand optics you are familiar with. There is no loss of quality, precision, product testing or durability. You can be assured of fantastic performance without inflated prices. Featuring a 10 position manually operated soft touch brightness switches, you can set the dot intensity to match your shooting environment. The optic remembers the last brightness intensity and will turn back on at the same level. The FTP Optics Alpha uses a standard and easy to find CR2032 battery which can be changed without dismounting the optic or re-zeroing. The latest industry electronics feature the ON start circuitry board which assures the sight will not turn off while shooting. A low battery indicator is also programmed on to the circuitry board to notify the user when the battery is low. Lens The lens features a optically clearer G-Coat that improves clarity and light transmission while offering superior anti-reflective capablities. The lens will appear more clear with less of a blue tone than many of our competitors. The lens is parallax free at 70m. The lens itself is one of the largest in the micro red dot industry which is a huge benefit to competition shooters. The shape of the lens also leads itself to me more useful for tracking the dot under recoil. Motion Technology An exciting feature of the FTP Optics Alpha 3 is the incorporation of a motion sensor that will turn off the optic after 3 minutes if no motion is detected. The same sensor will turn the optic back on as soon as motion is detected at the last brightness level. This is a great feature to help extend battery life! Elevation & Windage Adjustments Elevation and windage adjustments are made easily with a click adjustment system that requires no locking screw. The FTP Optics 3 features a wider adjustment range than many micro red dots to allow you to install on a wider variety of firearms. Dot Size Dot size is extremely important to competitors for fast target acquisition and visibility in sun light. The FTP Optics Alpha 3 is available with big and bright 6 and 8 MOA dot sizes! Many other micro red dots on the market are suited to more tactical operations and feature dots that are too small to be optimal for competition shooting. The advantage goes to FTP! Mounting: The FTP Alpha Optic 3 will install on standard mounts used for the RTS2TM and Romeo 3 TM. Due to the slighty longer length, you may need to use a mount that does not incorporate a blast shield or modify the mount itself for clearance. The optic includes a removable Picatinny rail mount or can be used in direct mounting application popular on most competition firearms. Specifications: Dimensions: (LxWxH): 56.5 x 29 x 32.5 mm Sight Window: 26 x 21.5mm Elevation Adjustment Range: 145 MOA @ 100m Windage Adjustment Range : 95 MOA @ 100m Glass: Anti-reflective, G-Coat multi-layered coated glass lens is parallax free with 97 % light transmission Weight: 41.5 g Battery Life: 320 hours at brightness position 3 at 10 degrees C
