The AEMS EVO curse struck me too lads. Comparing it with my X2 pro in gold, there is a night and say difference in QC. Seeing the number of issues here, I will NOT be bothering with an RMA. I reached out to CS,and the response was generic and pointed to user error. As if this is my only optic and i don’t understand eye relief, placement,brightness, viewing angle. I don’t think the new shooters will spend $500 on an optic when Vortex Triumph and Optic Planet Coupons exist. Disappointed indeed; i was frustrated receiving that from CS, especially when they know this is an ON GOING ISSUE. I can’t believe we keep giving Holosun our money when this is the quality they output.

Disclosure: I tried to capture only some of the issues. Mainly the biggest is the nasty halo effects on most brightness levels. The first reflection photo is purposefully taken at high brightness so i can convey what I am seeing in lower settings with the naked eye. Capturing optic issues on camera is difficult and i tried my best, taking photos of the reticle from the perspective of the optimal shooting position while the optic is mounted on an AR, is tricky and I feel that’s what Holosun is banking on when they point at your fault trying to show the problems via photos. My X2 Pro does not suffer from similar issues, even when brightness is cranked up to higher settings. I admit, on max brightness setting, indoor without direct sunlight, any modern optic will produce distortion but the halo on all brightness levels, the reflections, such strong emitter glow spilling at the bottom 6 o’clock position is unacceptable.

Weirdly enough,to the best of my knowledge I have not seen a good EVO unit in the wild. 2 of my buddies got theirs in green and suffer from the same issues. One is straight up returning his and one is going the RMA route. Will post an update from him. I would love to see someone who is an actual consumer, not an influencer or Youtuber who has received a good EVO unit without all the plethora of problems everyone is facing.

Last photo is just to show that I am comparing to my X2 Pro so it’s Holosun VS Holosun. If this is the quality to are being told to accept. Might as well just hand over their market to Osight R at this point, why even compete?

LWRC M6IC-DI

Thanks to everyone who commented to my post pre purchase. I am happy to announce that I have successfully acquired this beauty today.

Got some more details of its past. Less than 100 round count from the previous owner but used is used ig. He apparently is that kinda guy who keeps upgrading every few weeks. The shop owner knows him personally and I trust his input.

I negotiated a bit more and got it with 3 mags, Carrying case, Sling, background check fee, taxes for $1050 OTD. I think I did okay and paid market value. Gun was manufactured in 2025.

Cons: The Grip is LWRC not Magpul like some of the later 2025 have it. I am planning to change that to a Kung Foo Grip with that crazy vertical grip angle. The gun came with No Sights, Iron or otherwise.

Need recommendations: For a good value optic, not trying to spend another riffle money on an optic. Need a foregrip, i was aiming the Kung Foo one or the Emissary Accelerator. My hands get very sweaty so i need something with texture. I hear this can run .223 Remington ammo too. For range ammo, should I get 556 or .223? Ammo shopping recommendations please, should i just 62 grain brass or lower would do, should just stick with 556? Where should i get ammo from? I have using Ammoseek for my 9mm but ammo right now is crazy. Thinking of an optic, particularly the Holosun X2 Pro with the Gold reticle or Green. Will probably end up going for a Streamlight Light. Planning on putting some hand rail guards for heat dissipating and grip.

What else should I add to it to start off? Super excited to run this, never owned an AR before. Thank you again everyone, this group has been great.

Hey everyone, considering this as my first Rifle. I have done my research and it makes sense on paper but I am very much a novice starting out here. I am in the great state of Florida and found this gem for $1200 from a local shop. It’s used and comes with the one mag, Mlok, the sling and a flimsy case

Store owner said it was barely used. Is this a good deal should I negotiate more? How is the recoil on these? Everything seems stock. Just plan to put an optic and underbarrel on it after purchasing and later, add a suppressor and light.

Really liked how it felt in the hand. Would love your seasoned input.
