I have one and it's sweet. Plan on getting an 18" barrel and hand guard in the future. Probably order a 16.1" 5.56 next. |

Yep that was a few months ago. They are now back to saying twelve months Well, I've got a 16.1" tOBR 7.62 on order, 205XXX. I was told this particular config. has a "good wait time"... We shall see. I went with the 16.1" to keep from being pinned and welded... |

Hell, I sold my Multicam ACR for a 16" 5.56 PredatAR. I've yet to receive the tAR; I don't regret selling the ACR. YMMV. |

I'm missing the MK 6 on mine. Is it mounted on a LT111? Have you considered Aimpoint offset? Last Q's, where did you get that pack? MK6 sits in a LT111-34 and is very comfortable without any comb adjustment needed to me. I have wanted to play with an Aimpoint offset but will probably have to settle for a set Dueck Defense offset irons. The pack is a 3 day pack just like this one. Liked the looks of that pack so much I ordered one myself to nestle my tOBR into. I would however recommend getting it directly from Entrygear as the ones they sell on eBay don't have the lap belt included.

Yes, Mark said to place the lower on a table muzzle to the right side, left hand holding the lower down on the table, right hand pulling up(righty tighty) with wrench tightening until the left hand can no longer hold the lower down. He said that is the starting point. |

He said that is the starting point. I've watched the assembly/disassembly video, I guess I just find it a little shocking a rifle known for precision can have a barrel nut taken apart, hand tightened and then be able to pull of repeatable hits long range. I just assumed there had to be an ideal value. |
