Just finished my new M5E1 with a 20" Faxon barrel. I borrowed a Vortex PST 4x16 off another rifle and had a difficult time finding the right sight picture and lock-up for the PST stock. Bought an Arken 4x16 scope and mount tonight with the hope of better results. The precision guys at the range are AI reps running $12k firesticks. Their advice is to spend more money. My wife is important in my life so budget is critical. Does anyone run an M5E1 with an Arken scope?

p.s. The folks at Arken are onto something good. I'm no optics connoisseur. Been using open sights for many moons. Wasn't planning on a second purchase this year but after getting the first scope mounted and zeroed on the .308 getting a second Arken scope for the 5.56 was a no-brainer. Just wished we could make these here at home.
Love the Silencer , nice build
Got my second Arken Scope in this week and mounted it on my other "New" build. A Ballistics Advantage 20" fluted barrel in 5.56 built on Marine Corp A5 parameters. Most AP parts with Velocity trigger. Had to zero on 50 yd. range because a bunch of IPSC "guys" had the 100 yd. range tied up.
Darndest thing... Ist time I ever saw a pistolero wearing his wife's yoga pants.
Nice setups gang! 👍
24 INCH AR-15 77 gr sierra OTMs out to 1000 yards....
I hear their very good barrels. I build a AR 15 about 2 year’s ago love it too. Enjoy them both
Nice build krw62756! Screaming Eagle and Southpaw setup. I went with the AP Nitride BCG and a Velocity trigger. I have no complaints with my builds using Ballistic Advantage (AP Barrels) but the Faxon caught my eye and wanted to give them a try.
Couldn’t get both pictures so here they are. A great combo
Toy will love it, I do Areo, Ballistic advantage barrel Phil 0BCG and trigger you’ll recognize the rest
Nice rifle, Randall! I can see you have your ocular lined up with the t-handle and you are using the Arken mount. Good starting place for me. I also see you had room behind the scope mount for BUIS. My American Defense Recon mount isn't a good fit for my new build.
Dropped my facebook account 10 yrs ago so that isn't a good avenue to exchange info.
You can also ask ton of folks over at the Arken Optics USA Info facebook group too.. real owners.. with all kinds of other info and resources as well https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArkenOpticsUSA/
I run my POF 6.5 cm with a Arken SH4 6-24x50 for the money its hard to beat and it built like a tank with full warranty backing it up. They run well for me.
