Plus, I tried mounting it to the ring cap but it puts it way too high to be practical. And I’m not dropping over $300 on a direct mount ring cap. Plus the whole kit only cost me $170....mounts included. I can deal with ugly....hahaha View Quote |

I always wanted to clarify these threads, are the warriors pictured here mainly recon guys or action elements? I know there's a lot of overlap, but I'm just wondering based on their kit, amount of spares carried, non kinetic gear, etc. It's unclear.

CLE black friday is 5% off. Not much but it takes the Bartlein barrel down to like 498, saves you about 26 bucks lol.

But that seems way too short to actually mount a reflex can like the OPS, unless it was a super long thing with collar and brake/FH in one piece, which by then you lose the ability to index against the barrel and not have to really worry about baffle strike issues. But then I'm not Ron Allen or an Engineer at Crane/Dam Neck, so there is totally the possibility i'm just wrong. I also asked in the OPS picture thread a while back but no one had any specifics. |

On another thought, if the collar is all the way up against GB, does the barrel need to be re-contoured? Dimple the barrel for the set screw and with the can on, I can’t imagine that collar going anywhere... |

This is for NSW/Delta Recce clones. You might want to go post your build in the normal Recce Rifle thread. |

Just found out I waaaay overpaid for school so that nice fat check is going toward the bulk of this rifle. To think I almost abandoned the Mod 1 build for now to focus on this. Good news is I have most of the ancillary parts, just the barrel and optic are missing. Really glad I didn't cheat and use my Umbrella Corporation receiver set, and put the second set up for sale. Doing this right has taken much longer than any other build I've done but so much more fulfilling! I wouldn't be nearly as far along without y'all's input.
If my EE listings all come through this booger would be DONE! |

Taking a barrel and chopping it to 15.1". I didn't even notice until after I ordered that it's a rifle length gas system. Looking at so many barrels, I missed it.
Can I still use it reliably? I'm wondering if it will interfere with the collar. Barrel hasn't arrived yet for me to look at it. |
