The rifle is no longer clone correct though, so I'll just go fuck myself. View Quote LOL, mine is Aero so we're both fucked. |

Don’t think anyone will give you shit over a gas block. Especially since you can’t get the one you need. And if they do…I’ll happily fight that battle. |

I've been using CMMGs on my builds for the past few years. Easy to find, unbranded, and as low-pro as they come.

Have the 15.1" NSW ever been seen with a NXS 2.5-10x42, or just the x24?

I got called yesterday and told that my back ordered RAS is on the way, and have the x42 already. I saw at some point the x42 was talked about in here, but I never saw a picture with one. No worries, and thanks for letting me know! |

Got my KAC RAS earlier this week along with the bipod adapter and 600m irons.
Thinking it’s time for a Mod 1 to go with the 0 and H, but I might be swayed to do a recce. Which is easier to source correct parts/glass for, the recce or Mod 1? Attached File Attached File |

I’d be running an OCM5, so the rarity of the BE 249f shouldn’t be an issue, and I have an extra CTR stock laying around. Hmmmm |

Question? Will my 16” Douglas H barrel have the clearance for the can using a URX 3.1 in the 13.5” flavor? Or even a CLE Douglas 15.1 Recce?

Guess I’ll buy another PRI rail and build another H and use a my B E Myers 249F on one of my 15.1’s just for a badass looking rifle |

Just to clarify in order to bring the 15.1 Douglas to length it requires an Adco style or actual Adco KAC Spacer before the OEMB? I've got plenty of the 1/2 x 28 ones but my other CLE Douglas 15.1 is 6mm Arc so I'm a be needing a 5/8 x 24! I'm a right in what I think I read or bassackwards? Thanks fellas
@Bigbore I see you guys are out of the KAC Spacer for 5/8 x 28 can ya cut me on or two up??? |

Need it suppressor ready/functional and will be p/w’d So talk to me boss I know you know this whole damn thread is your baby so really just a crush? or maybe a Peel? BTW Eyekahn I have two of those CLE Douglas 15.1's just came of the line he called yesterday so 1 is going to be built into the NSWG w KAC and the other will be a Block II Recce with Ron's NSW Collar already purchased..... Just gotta decide which will get the 6 ARC and the other will get the 556.............. |

View Quote @bigbore so what you saying is it’s all good to crush? What about getting my 15.1” to legal p/w 16.1”? Is that spacer required? |

Years ago when a friend first got me into ARs, I had a RAS, 249f, and the Docter site in the super rare Wilcox mount. Sold them all.
I'll always regret that. |

Well, the homogear was the culprit. I really thought the objective was clearing it but not so much. It was basically blurring out the bottom of my reticle. I moved it over to the starboard side and holy shit the x24 is clear as day again and the reticle is nice and crisp all the way down. I guess the lack of parallax adjustment and having that peq obscure some of the FOV was messing with me. https://i.imgur.com/bVehz26.jpeg Back to shooting sub moa with new primers. https://i.imgur.com/ZKvrAGt.jpeg Also, the homogear has held zero so far. About 300 rounds on it. If it starts to shift I'll crack it open and beef it up. And by holding zero I mean hitting a 6" plate at 50-100. Running an infinite zero so need to rezero how that it's flipped. View Quote @Eyekahn For the NSW RECCE the lower should be an A2 correct? I can’t tell the difference between an A2 and M4 but the A1 profile stands out |
