    Not sure if WTB are allowed here. if not my apologies am new.
    Looking for a spare IR laser.
    Professional grade like an DBAL, or better an OTAL since it will be less, preferred but others considered.

    have you looked at the streamlight trl vir2? It’s a great little IR Laser and illuminator combo, for short range. The IR laser reaches further than the illuminator, if you use a more powerful illuminator with it. It’s a great budget peq for 50 yards by itself. With a crappy Surefire vampire ir light, it’s good for about 100yds. For me, IR Illuminators are usually more limiting than ir lasers, for civilian gear, and I’ve really enjoyed my streamlight trl-vir2’s

    Thanks!

    Its a bit more than I was thinking.
    Its only been a few years ago that I paid 2/3rds for that exact unit new (which I still have and its mounted on my primary night rifle)
    Perfect would be an OTAL.
    Good enough to be professional grade and answer the mail to make another rifle nighttime capable but affordable.
    But I am grateful for the link.
    I am discovering all sorts of goodies on here FS :)

    Check the Equipment Exchange on AR15.com under Lights/Lasers and Lights/Lasers Used.

    The OTAL-C pops up on occasion at about $400-$450, not bad considering Steiner raised their prices and they are now around $650... which was what the CQBL-1 was going for before Steiner stopped making them.

    I have three TLR VIR II's and they are good for 100 yards and in... they are intended for pistol use but would do great on a rifle or PCC indoors or at ranges under 100 yards. They go for about $325-$350.

    I recently sold two spare OTAL-C's for $400.00.

    Here is one that does not appear to have sold yet...
