Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CMCctx: I use some 1.125" on the SPRecce. Perfect height on the #38 S-EX They’re going on my FAL. I’ve found that with a 1.0” ring a 44mm objective won’t clear my Vltor rail or the rear sight but my 1.375” rings are too much of a chin weld even for me. The Arms #22 mediums would be perfect but I know the FAL optic rails aren’t exactly in spec so it’d be a risky purchase with their levers. ETA: Picture for the top of the page  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CMCctx: Badger makes some 1.125" as well Thanks for the heads up. I’ll probably pick those up then since they’re in stock. I took my Arms #17 tri-lock mount with my M951 on it and put it on my optics rail and it fit perfectly. I wonder if the Arms #22 rings would fit the same. |

You weren't lying about tac. I think this barrel just really loves them hot. Absolutely no pressure signs. Edit - the fliers were 100% me. Swear to fucking god the trigger kept losing the second stage. Edit 2x - the bottom 24.0 group I dialed some elevation and put in work.  Attached File Attached File |

Snagged a MK16 13.5” for $160 just no barrel nut. Never thought I’d pick one up but I may sell my 13.5 URX if I like it enough. Also scored a Wilson combat folding gas block. Thinking about either in a MRE or looking for a different carbine cutout

Took the MRE and others out today for the first time in a while. I just had surgery on both my wrists and it’s the first time I could finally hold a gun again. Tried my best with some groups.
16” 1:7 Bushmaster in the MRE Outback 69gr: 1.1 moa Hornady 75gr: 1.3 moa PPU M193: 1.45 moa PPU M855: 3.8 moa The surprise of the day is the PPU ammo. The M193 was surprisingly accurate while the M855 was garbage. Could just be my shooting with barely being able to hold the rifle even prone on the bipod.  Attached File |

Guess I'm back in Club SIR. You fuckers must like me having too many irons in the fire
 I'm never going to get a NF. I'm just going to have to come to terms with it. My for shit pile of optics is what I got. I think the Vari-X 3-9 will sit nicely on a #59M, though. I'll probably build up the NSW and get a P4Xi for the MRE and use the Vari-X 2.5-8 on it. But then the #38 S-EX will be homeless. It never fucking ends. I'm about to just tear everything down and build shit for specific uses like a periodic vending machine. |

I've never been 100% sold on the FF RAS long on the 20" so it'll be nice to finally have the #59M to get it to a state of "completion" and it frees up the FF RAS for the NSW But I'm going to bubba that thing up with a 14.5 flush and maybe even slap the #38 S-EX on it since it won't have a home. It'll be NSW who hit rock bottom. |

Got most of the parts for the rifle length NSW, and the spikes tapered gas block is just enough exposed with the larue 13.2”. Once I get the barrel, it’s losing all the tan parts, the lower is going back to its other upper and this one will get its own lower and paint job. Everything’s just hand tight, but it balances real well. Just need to get the barrel spun up and to form 1 the suppressor.

Anyone have any suggestions on a solid 2.5-10 or 3-15 or something in that range optic for a .308 DMR build?
I’m currently trying to decide on getting another 2.5-10x32 Gen 1 PST, Trijicon Credo 2-10, or a Meopta 2.5-15x44. I need some advice or more options in the sub $1000 range. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CMCctx: These 3 piece collars need the barrel turned down to 0.748". Is that to ensure proper fitment, or just following the original design? Is there any reason not to have it bored out to fit all of my barrels? ETA: there looks to be enough room to spare. Wondering if it's smarter to get a local machine shop to replicate the inner sleeve but with more wiggle room that matches the barrel diameter. Luckily all of my barrels are the same spec against the FSB, but I'd hate to fuck up this mount on a hunch and it's not snug. https://i.imgur.com/L4HT4Wb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4xpF0aD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JbCZhOn.jpg https://i.imgur.com/83lon8j.jpg So where would one get a collar like this? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lsujim: I just placed a preorder for an AEM5 with a local shop (Capitol Armory). I need to start stockpiling parts. Modern SPR collar is pretty easily sourced, and requires no extra work for a properly contoured barrel. AEM5-M4 collars need to be made to spec, and AEM2/4 (even Spike's) collars aren't terribly hard to find, you'll just need the step contoured a little further back to mount an AEM5 (IIRC 0.5" but don't quote me on it). This is why this cowboy shit is resourceful. Just have to figure out the right way to use the wrong parts

The AEM5 is worth the squeeze. One of my favorites I own. I have a AEM5-30 pending that I’m looking to use on a 6.5C gasser or maybe even a bolt gun down the road. I’ve often thought of how sweet the AEM5 would be on a bolt 5.56.
