Well, cat's out of the bag I guess. I had hoped I'd already have them lined up.
If they aren't the 1.4" ones then maaayybbeee there were limited runs of actual 1.5" rings. I was awaiting news from Jack Leuba on the issue, but I fear he's either swamped or forgot. I'm the last guy that can immediately run out into a bidding war on rare KAC rings so it's kind of a bummer, I've got this thing so close but it will be a while before I have the dough to even think about tracking a set down, nevermind a 300m rear and Colt BCG. |

Received my barrel from CLE for my flush fit SEAL Recce. Unfortunately, there is about a 1/4 inch gap between the end of the can and end of the rail. Wondering if I can get a custom collar made for it to be flush, or if I'm SOL.

Stick a cleaning rod down the bore from the muzzle on a closed bolt. See what length you get to the muzzle. |

If you were to go a full 1/8 you would need to have the shoulder set back or run just a shim on the brake and have the extra barrel threads sticking out cut off.

I did send in the collar, as well as the rail, so they could design the barrel around that. |

I'm beginning to think these 1.5" KAC rings are a pipe dream
@haveblue83 , did you actually source a set of 1.5" rings or something lower? |

It's impressive that you were getting hits at 700. Great job. Can I ask what load you were using?
