Clowning around, but this thing is neat as heck with the Holland lower and the issued Gen I Mod 0 glass.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By secretwheelman: Very nice. I did something similar, that's still being tweaked, but went with a 16". Really been debating an FDE SL-K and FDE K2 for it. Took the barrel from my quasi-NSW recce, put it in a Holland, parted-out the Holland and then slapped the barrel in this. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50004429433_01b8714d94_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50005210487_4a47af0afc_o.jpg This gave me a cool idea. Does anyone know of any barrel manufacturers who make carbine gas barrels with ops profiles? I know worst case I could get a custom M4 collar made. I'm guessing no, but now I have a cool idea for a set up since I have an extra collar and brake lying around. |

Just finished this upper and it has immediately become my favorite. I put the Razor on there for shits and giggles but I like it way more than I thought. An NX8 in a 1.7 badger mount and an offset RMR would probably be better to cut the weight down a bit.

Zeroed the glass then took it out to 630yds. White Oak 16” mid-length cut to 14.5 - 630 yds/5.2 mils with Black Hills 77’s. John’s work at Retro Arms not only looks good, it shoots!

I have an ecos coming for the IUR upper this week. I like it a lot. It's fun screwing around blasting steel out around 300yds with the acog and transitioning to the rmr to blast steel at 100yds. Edit - there's also those instances where I forget to tape the acog and the reticle is bleeding so hard that it's useless, so I switch to the rmr. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CMCctx: I can't speak for the ECOS specifically, but this. This is where I’m at right now, I have the same thoughts on the acog, but since it’s a 15.7 I feel like I could benefit more from having the extra 2x on the top end. Plus I’ve never been a fan of pop ups for piggybacked optics, I’m in the rotate 45 degree club.

Gentlemen,
Thanks for the great photos and inspiration to cut this down to 14.5”. Took it out to 630yds earlier in the week and out to 900yds today. Wind at 900 (10.6 mils) was tricky but 800 (8.5 mils) was easy money all day with Black Hills 77’s.  |
