Abbreviated video of some shooting. We had a problem with one of the lowers having a walkimg trigger pin, which caused some malfunctions. Figured it out later.  Light Support Weapon Theory - Talking Guns #lightfighter I dont know how to link shorts apparently, sucks to suck, |

I was able to get the rail on sale and the Faxon was on sale for less than $200. If I was going to buy a factory built upper then I would go with BCM or SOLGW |

Small team supply/Klein Machining speaks on some future lsw projects. Long format.  The AR-PK by Klein Machining & Militia State Armory |
Received my RRH Recce IARv1 a couple of weeks back and finally got it all assembled. Need to decide on a SS or FRT. Also hoping a better solution for the bipod comes along. Not super thrilled by the Atlas I have put on here for now. I was considering a surplus RPK bipod but I don't think there's enough room between the gas block adjuster and the QD muzzle device. Put my ancient stainless steel YHM .30 Phantom on here because it can handle a higher ROF being SS. Heavy as hell for a suppressor though.

Using it as such, it should be used to perform functions better served with an LSW, than a regular rifle. One of those things is difference is target prioritization. In my view, magnification is going to allow you to identify specific types of targets, which you should be prioritizing….. as apposed to say…… the closest threat, which might be the priority of a rifleman, The LSW should also been seen as an assaulting weapon, unlike a heavier machine gun often relegated to supporting fires. This is a point vastly lost of most of the content creators which seem to be showing LSWs simply fulfilling machine gun rolls, which they cant do. These bitches are already kinda heavy, so I would say whatever gets you there without adding a ton of weight. Some folks have been working for about five years on developing a doctrine, written in a field manual format. Some smart people. I am not sure if that will be published freely or contained to the domain for which it is intended. Should know by this fall. |

While I would love to have an Acog on there, the burris prismatic site is a very good compromise for the price. |

Originally Posted By WillieTangoFox: These bitches are already kinda heavy, so I would say whatever gets you there without adding a ton of weight. You aren't lying. 12lbs empty is not objectively heavy, but when it's a rifle, it's heavy. And that's what these are: they are not crew served weapons, but are expected to keep up with the rifles. I might have been better off with the 20", but the 24" called-out to me. Right now it wears an AP PRO + mag, but may end-up with a PA 3x SLx. |

Right now it wears an AP PRO + mag, but may end-up with a PA 3x SLx. That's not mention that the expectation is a rifle like this is going to be putting out a higher volume of rounds and you'll have to carry that ammo with you, and its not nothing to carry another 240 rounds in mags. I think keeping the PRO and adding a magnifier would be a good setup. 4x and 6x magnifiers would be a good go to. While generally not a fan of LPVO's, I think this type of rifle is the perfect use case for one. |

I have seen them swam across rivers, been outside in days that went from 50*-10*, knock around…….. have not seen a problem yet. They must have water proofed those turrets well and purged them adequately. Have not seen the issues like other budget options, at least the two units I have been around. |

I like my Elcan M145 for my Colt 950. The FOV is great and the ranging reticle is very useful since you are not going to have time to adjust knobs all the time. I know its an old school optics now but it still works for me and it holds zero just fine. I actually picked up another one of the ex military ones for $300 and rehabbed it for less than $20. Article I wrote on how to rehab the Elcan M145: https://john1911.com/expensive-optics-cheap/ Rehabbed Elcan M145:  Transferable Colt 950: This is an older picture and does not include my redesigned carry handle.  |
If God didn't want them sheared, he would not have made them sheep.

I agree on optics, I really considered a simple red dot on mine, but magnification is such a huge force multiplier. Mine's 18", so we save a bit of weight, but I'm considering a smaller, lighter prism type optic. Currently has a 1-6x LPVO, used to great effect. I may just leave it alone. But yes, for this role some kind of magnified optic is ideal. |

Stripped psa lower Bolt carrier group Like Grip( couple to choose ) Charging handle And the super safety order last night before midnight when the sale ended Now to decide on what upper 20" chrome lined from ar15discount 20" with fsb And if I went to use a b5 stock ( I like them alot ) collapsing stock on a 20" with rifle gas what buffer etc.... |

For a stop gap I bought a 20inch lmt mrp barrel and just swapped that into the longer quadrail upper i have. You did, indeed. Hello, fellow Michigander. Upper is a Klein Machining 24" with RPK bipod, and I just swapped the handguard he uses with a 15" PRI GenIII. I was inspired by another gentleman on IG, so cannot take credit, but he wasn't wrong. The handguard works great with the bipod, and the carbon fiber and extra length should be good to reduce handling issues when she warms up.

 Auto Rifleman Loadout | IARs and Kit for Civilians My back is hurting just watching all those mags on a chest rig. So happy I put together a belt kit. |

From the old thread, 200 round SAW pouch, it can carry eight 30 round magazines, with one flat along the bottom. Its easy to place that to your front left, open it, and reload without having to do that rock back and forth to expose a mag on your body, or shift around hunting for a mag. Its also super easy and cheap to make up a few of those and spread load them. Lastly, its nice not to have to put together an entire LBE kit, $$$, for yet another thing.

https://faxonfirearms.com/coming-soon-faxon-ascent-16-5-56-rifle-hbar/?searchid=4332614&search_query=hbar Thoughts on this as an out of the box option? I'd probably want to add an adjustable gas block for suppressed shooting. Been looking at 16in barrels for the same reason. |

Rifle or upper with a quality 16-18" heavy barrel, free float rail, and adjustable gas block. I want to have a rifle per this thread's topic but not with a 20+ inch barrel due to added suppressor length. |

Mine is using a 16" mid barrel from green mountain. I wish it was a little heavier but at 0.7 it 8s a little thicker than government profile Attached File |

Looking to start parting together one. I want to start with the upper I am thinking either a 18” or 20” upper. I think I’m going to go with the budget route. What is the cheap uppers that we are recommending? I may spring for something nicer during BF sale or something, but I want to have a budget option to get started |

I can try I've never attempted. I've put lowers together... My inability to get my ap5-p SS to work has pissed me off lol |

Outside of that, you can use a nitrided barrel if you want. You can use anything you want. It just may not be ideal, but it doesn't mean you, yourself, will ever know the difference. |

Their IAR is a 14.5. I don't really want to pin and weld as they want you to. Especially since they don't have the YHM QD comps. It looks like you can do the customizable Recce LMG and have the barrel cut down to 18" though so that may work. 6-12 week lead time. I'll have to think about it. That barrel is badass. |

For what it's worth, Mike at Klein Machining will cut the 24" down to whatever you want. He will install whatever parts you want, too, if you provide them. |
