Here is my Mini Recce Carbine:
-Colt Upper/Lower -14.5" barrel -Geissele MK4 Rail & SSA trigger -VLTOR A5H2 -LMT Enhanced BCG -Magpul CTR with Larue RISR -Surefire closed-tine Warcomp & RC suppressor -L3 NGAL -Surefire Scout on Arisaka mount -Nightforce NX8 in Geissele mount with RMR06 on Reptilia offset adapter -Ridgeline sling with built in rear monopod and belt attachment The use of the standard weight barrel with NGAL, 3V Scout, and NX8 shaves off some ounces. I can still shoot just over MOA groups with Mk262. I only add the Harris bipod for long term static use. The extra length from the A5 and extended buttpad give me optimal LOP. The RMR gives me passive and backup aiming. The Magpul rubber rail covers on the side of the rail interface and lock in well with the HOG saddle for tripod work. The Geissele rail covers grip barricades and my Gamechanger bag very well. Attached File I really like the NX8. What it offers in this role compared with it's size/weight is impressive. The tight eyebox is overstated and is probably more of an issue for those who don't have their rifle setup properly for length of pull, eye relief, and cheekweld. (It also prevents some of the parallax errors you can induce with LPVOs with generous eyeboxes.) I don't feel that the large dot on the NX8 is a limiting factor for distance shooting because you should be using the mil scale anyway. I did find zeroing at 100 yards to be a pain on a B8 or a typical scope target due to the reticle geometry, so I made my own. It has a large box which sits around the dot and inside the circle and .2 mil grid lines to match the turrets. The target also works well for mapping shifts with suppressors, in-line NVDs, or ammunition changes. Attached File I made it downloadable here: https://ridgelineshooting.com/ridgeline-targets/ |

I like the small profile, light weight, power and clean illuminator. The MAWL switchology is faster when transitioning different distances and lighting conditions, but there is a weight penalty. For this type of build, NGAL all the way.

Hi all,
long time lurker here. Wondered if you could help me with source more pics of the following mini recce rifle: https://medicsf.tumblr.com/post/673299104718372864 german forum that still hosts the original series in its entirety I remember coming across this pic years back with a caption something along the lines of ¨CQBSS, Larue upper (see the beefed up dust cover spring housing), QD suppressor.. its like a Frankenstein of a recce rifle.¨ Now I´ve developed a rather embarrassing soft spot for it, having come across no rifle more ally, in all the years. I´d like to know if anyone has ever seen any more pics of this rifle? DVID, google, the forums all searched but no joy.... but would like to start building this one seeing that the funds are there. (Lastly, Apologies if not the correct thread, after going through a bunch this seemed the best place to ask... Also photobucket is a pain in the ass, Id first have to remove 4000 pics before I can host again... grr) |

I understood that’s it’s a CQBSS but haven’t had it confirmed. Handguard appears to be LaRue going by the D ring and location of QD sling swivel. Just hard to make out the length… |

Just hard to make out the length… View Quote If I had to guess, I’d say 10 inches on the handguard. With an 11 ribbed KAC panel inserted from the front, my 9” Larue HG has three rails before the wd socket. Looks like he has 5 remaining. Eta: maybe not, it looks like that rail panel may be pushed further back, exposing the pic rails at the end of the HD. |

That’s a 12 or 13.2 Larue rail.

Studying the pic I’d be leaning towards the longer side… Im wondering someone knows the guy…I mean building own Frankenstein recce rifle means you have a stronger than average affiliation with firearms and armatures in particular and would either be a member here or knows a member…Maybe Stuka can point us in the right direction…? |

Going to build a flush-fit mini with an AEM5. Will the gas block of a mid-length gas system fit entirely under a KAC Medium FF RAS, or should I go with carbine length?

View Quote I had pretty much the same setup in 6.5 Grendel at one point. If I'm not mistaken, the barrel was a little over 13" with the Spikes tapered gas block and Midlength FF RAS. I also think my rail had to be trimmed slightly at the front so there was no contact with the can. |

I believe the Allegheny tapered blocks are a skosh longer OAL than the Spike’s ones so you won’t need to trim a midlength RAS but don’t quote me on that. Check their Instagram to confirm. I just got my AEM3 approved for this rig and got a new barrel to fit it. If you’re interested in the one pictured above shoot me a message. |
