I just ordered a triarch 12.5 upper thanks to this thread. I’m going to order a nx8 and need help. Should I get mrad, mill or moa? I’m new to lpvo.

View Quote MRad And Mil are the same thing. It’s also highly dependent on what you’re accustomed to, which based off your question is neither. Do some research and pick the one that looks best to you. |

Since matches are starting back up here again (just shot some steel challenge yesterday), I got signed up for 2 gun next Saturday. Did a bunch of dry firing and reload practice and fucked around with the belt setup to get everything dialed in. Just need to confirm zero without the can at some point this week.
I'm really digging the rat rod aesthetic lately. Also makes buying used parts and gear easier since I don't have to give a fuck about matching Attached File |

Why do most rails that have a built in QD have them so close to the receiver? What is the benefit of running a sling with the ends that close?
Maybe I'm old school, but I enjoy my sling way out at the ends. /random thought of the day |

Gets the rifle tighter when slung but doesn't make it as stable when using the sling to shoot. Usually on my red dot equipped rifles I run the sling close to magwell. Magnified optics further out. |

I'm also a dumbass and thought this BA barrel was 223 and not 5.56. So gonna go test some factory 5.56 and load my handloads a little hotter in some 5.56 brass to see if I get the velocity I'm looking for before I bail on 12.5 and go custom 13.1. |

View Quote I don't have a lot of time with it yet but so far so good. 1x is plenty forgiving and I feel I'll be just as fast with it as my T2's. I like the reticle and glass clarity is as it should be. I don't know how someone could not like it. Its also very light. |

Took the YHM turbo out this morning for the first time.
Pleasantly surprised how well gassed this setup is. I didn't pin gauge the port on the 11.5 Criterion, but I'd imagine it's small. Definitely more concussive/poppy than the AEM5. AEM5 is a gentle blast to the face, this turbo is more like a POP right to the face. Edit - This is only my second can. |

I'm just comparing the impulse of the turbo to AEM5. I shoot my AEM5 all day w/o hearing protection. Ain't gonna happen with this turbo LOL. I shoot left, so I'm right next to the port. |

It's going to sound great at the muzzle but port pop and gas to the face may be more than other less restrictive cans. It's always a game of tradeoffs on where you want the noise and gas-muzzle or ejection port when it comes to semi autos. I run a gasbuster charging handle and a Bootleg adjustable carrier on most of my suppressed rigs to tame any excess blowback issues. |

Originally Posted By SDMF_Rebel: I guess I'm a skeptic of the suppressed carriers and gas keys because all of that gas is still coming into the receiver. I may take you up on your offer. Thanks man. View Quote Outside of something that is venting it up front ala a piston it's going to be coming back into the receiver, far more when suppressed and especially with a high back pressure can. Out of the port is better than in my face. The past few years many suppressor companies have been looking at reducing at the ear noise vs the traditional muzzle measure noise. More focus on what's happening near the shooter and less at the muzzle which I think is a good thing. Here in the next week or so I'll be happy to send the carrier your way. A little off topic but cool to see some backpressure testing. LaRue S.U.R.G. |

Sure, it’s venting gas out the ejection port, but it still delays unlocking allowing bore pressures to decrease. |

View Quote I'd like to try one of those! @SDMF_Rebel Ammo and powder choice have a lot to do with it! Faster burning, lower charges, and heavier bullets with make the ammo quieter, cleaner, and slower recoil impulse. Then some powders are just way gassier than others for whatever reason. Add some RTV to your CH a GB might blow gas in your face if your a lefty. |
