    Kelly,

    Thanks for that info. Can you get a good picture of that label? Mine doesn't have it. I even went to Insight Technologies website and there is no mention of restrictions. Though my guess is if you call or email they will then give you the spiel. FYI- apparently they flipped out when I ordered the pattern generators through one of our vendors. I did get them though.

    I'll look at my PEQ-2 later and get the exact verbiage and report back.

    Gunz,

    What would they worry about the Pat Gens? I do need some, and have seen them on ebay. I need to replace the soft plastic straps that hold the covers on the PEQ 2A since they seem to stretch out over time.

    Uh.. Don't they sell the pat-gens for the visible lasers too? That is bizarre that they'd piss & moan about those.

    Yep,

    I ordered them through a vendor of ours and they said no sweat. Then there were some emails exchanged and questions as to why I need them, etc...etc..The vendor got it squared away and they sent them out.

    Funny. Calling an IR laser an "an-peq" screams airsofter to me. There are about 10 items in the supply system designated AN/PEQ-(?).

    Here's the straight dope. Civilians can be sold IR lasers as long as there is a visible/audible indicator that tells if the laser is operating. An exempt product is not intended for sale outside military or government channels because it doesn't have that indicator..but the regulation doesn't address any of that other than who the manufacturer can sell it to. IOW, Insight can't sell you an IR laser, but a police friend could order one and subsequently sell it to you and no regulations would be broken.

    Yes I am aware that there are a lot of items that are designated AN/PEQ.. so the correct term is AN/PEQ5 right? but im not looking for an AN/PEQ5 but something similar to complete an M4A1 setup.

    yes. I did once play airsoft when I was younger.

    Its like saying you're building an M4 or an M4gery.. but with an AR15 reciever. we use m16 and m4 recievers. Id understand the the AR15 receiver is similar to the m4 or m16 reciever.

    Lastly, parts aren't available locally. Gunstores sell you all the crappy parts. the cheapest they can buy. so they can sell at a humongous profit! they'd sell you rails from god knows where it came from for like $600. Probably a YHM. but sometimes from airsoft! DD Rails, Larue Rails. you'll never get em in the gunstore. we have to outsource them. so for us who's always on the net. We get all the info from forums like this and educate ourselves. And end up buying premium stuffs through friendly gun stores that import it for us. but that takes like 3-5 months!!!

    sorry for the long post... anyway still open to suggestions.

    The most common references would be AN/PEQ-2, AN/PAQ-4C, and AN/PEQ-15. If you Google them you can see what they look like and the differences.
