X95 from g4cgunstore

When I first got my brand new X95, it didn't like PMags for some reason. I bought a bunch of metal GI mags, however the rifle seems to have gotten over the PMag thing and it runs flawlessly with every mag I have stuck in it.
I am currently running a 1-4x LPVO but have just ordered a Sig Romeo7 red dot. For close in faster moving scenarios or where the target is not well lit or is not a brightly colour piece of paper or steel, the red dot is a much better choice. A red dot is more than enough for distances out to 200 yds.
I may try a swing away magnifier just to see how well it works, but I am not certain it is really needed.

The very first upgrade you need to make is to dump the soft butt pad and get the thin IDF butt plate. It greatly helps with shouldering the rifle.
Personally I use a high hold on the grip so I found the cutlass pistol grip to be very annoying and swapped out for the IDF pistol grip.
I also found that a stubby vertical front grip is worthwhile.
I have some thoughts on the Geisselle trigger if you ever consider one of those.

That thick buttstock is more to do with the USA on their ovl laws on rifles.
If we were in the usa, and we swapped it out we just now made a sbr down there. But here, its not really a problem.
Barrel is a different matter, but i like it as it is, but i may pick me up a vertical front grip when i get more money
What are your thoughts on the geisselle trigger? I might consider it later down the line anyways
The Geisselle trigger is overly expensive for what it does. It is not all that good, compared to conventional triggers. IMO, it is not at all worth the cost.
Everyone says to just get the trigger bow because that makes the most difference. I don't agree. All the trigger bow does is remove the first stage, turning it into a completely stock feeling single stage trigger. Personally I like a 2-stage trigger and I think that is the best for a military rifle.
The OEM X95 trigger feels much like an OEM Glock trigger. It is fairly long and mushy pull but not overly heavy.
The full Geisselle setup lightens and shortens the mushy feel but does not eliminate it. It does not create a firm, glass-rod like break, which we associate with a good trigger feel.
Certainly the full Geisselle trigger is better than the OEM trigger but it costs $800. You could buy a lot of ammo for $800 and just get used to the OEM trigger. I'm not telling you not to buy the trigger, only that I don't think it is worth the cost ... and I am currently running one in my X95.
Gasketed port cover.
The x95 has a progressive trigger similar to the ps90. That why its setup that way, and i suspect that the Geisselle trigger is kinda not worth it when the trigger on the x95 and T7 is fine.
I got to try it out, I don't really have an issue with the trigger, but im bias towards that because im used to the ps90
Just about any magazine works fine. For optics you'll need a minimum lower 1/3 cowitnss height because the rail sits lower on the gun than on an AR15. I've settled on a Red Dot+ Magnifier combo for the flexibility, and most models will often come at that height out of the box. Most quality red dots perform much like another, but some sort of magnification is a game changer. I found the very small form factor of the Vortex Micro3x magnifier made a huge difference in keeping the rifle balanced while also having a comfortable eyebox.
The X95 is very similar in feel to a glock trigger - it's not amazing, but it won't hold you back at all if you have even half-decent fundamentals. I personally see zero reason to swap it out unless you have money to burn.
Rather than spending hundreds of dollars on an aftermarket trigger, you'd be MUCH better served by spending pocket change on the flat buttplate (which noticeable improves LOP and balance, and gets rid of that obnoxious rubber block that WILL catch on everything you wear)
And maybe the shootingsight High Energy recoil spring, which will noticeably mitigate the X95's overgassed recoil.

Where did you get that?
The shootingsight website
It's how I got mine. It's just a spring.
Never underestimate the stupidity involved in gun laws and import/export laws when it comes to gun parts.
Thx, I'll try and order from them and see how it goes.
I never even thought about a thinner buttstock. When I mount the x95 I don't drag it up my chest and onto the shoulder Its out and then in. I have thought about a different trigger but really once you get used to it I don't know if it's worth it. The trigger is like a glock, once you figure it out you know what to do.
But I sure wouldn't argue about any trigger upgrade on any firearm, because I am a bit of a trigger snob to begin with.

I run an aimpoint T2 with magnifier and no regrets there. It's apples and oranges though depending on what you're looking for and budget. Also depends on the distances you intend to shoot most of the time. I find a red dot/ holographic combo really nice. LVPO if you intend to shoot out father more often. I Generally run Pmags and cross mags for fun but it seems to be fine with any mag I've used in it.
