I haven't gotten around to chrono'ing any of it yet. At the distances I shoot at, the generic data on the box is close enough. |

I think it puts it around 3.25 or so. I cant remember off the top of my head. I'm fine with it. I use a chin weld for it just fine. My atacr is my primary 1x solution as is so I don't really worry much about it. Ymmv |

Black hills is around .8 The badlands was shot off a front bag only so it may be a little tighter if I used a rear bag too. The black arc shell shock 77's chrono'ed faster than the badlands, but was pretty wild with the es and sd and not worth the 1.50 or whatever it was per round. Black hills 77 $1.30 /rnd Badlands 75 $.95 /rnd Appreciate it! I'm sitting on a pile of BH 77 TMK. Might have to give the Badlands and Blark Arc stuff a try, especially now that Badlands has 70 gr Barnes loads. |

Muchas moochas gracias mi amigos! Gonna have to go custom if going for a flush fit. @subpar Yep. No plug and play way to do it. Easiest way to do it is grab a tapered gas block from Alleghany Arms, a midlength barrel of your choosing and send it off to ADCO or Alleghany to be cut. The final length is approximately 13.25” to get the flush fit look. At some point I want to do a medium FF RAS with an AEM3. The AEM5 is just kind of long for the setup. Rothperson has one with an AEM3. It’s tits.

Originally Posted By bzugger: How do you like that arken? I haven't shot with it yet, but I did bring it to the range as a spotting scope at 100yds  Seems like one hell of a solid scope for $300 I'll eventually swap it out for an LPVO though, and slap the arken on a bolt gun |

Yeah, this one took a while. I kept missing out on In-Stock notifications for the KAC FF RAS, so I said screw it and went the RIS III route, as I hadn't seen that combo yet. |

Absolutely loving this setup. The PST2 is so good for its price. I'll most likely put a DMX NX8 on it soon but man is the PST2 a good bargain. Swapping the 11.3" WC barrel for the custom cut 11.1" Larue Stealth that started this whole Medium RAS mini craze. Going to get the cob up as flush as possible while still being able to activate the locking ring. Hoping to get consistent out to 600m. Last trip I got a few hits at 600m with that barrel but I was limited by the P3TR reticle.

But yeah, its no longer a mini recce setup |

Good news: RIS II Mini is all pinned together, just waiting on a Kahles to show up Attached File Bad news: my chopped down Sionics barrel doesn't appear to be perfectly concentric. This can is a very tight/unforgiving bore but the can + mount were gtg on a previous barrel. Attached File John Thomas did the cut/thread and we all know how good he is...Not quite sure what to do. I may just send it, OCL has an exceptional warranty. What does the hive think? Edit: talked to John and he's issuing a full refund. Standup guy, I'm not gonna fuss at him. Unfortunately, these threads are just not right. I may chop it down to 10.3 for later use but we're back to square one... |

My B&T SBRS can is out of jail I really wish Geiselle didn't do some weird proprietary brake during this run - need to drill out the P&W and throw on a Surefire but - been having fun with this build - also enjoying the Sector Optics G1T3 setup ( LPVO has a thermal hud screen in the lense )

Unfortunately, these threads are just not right. I may chop it down to 10.3 for later use but we're back to square one... My check rod looks that way too if I have the rifle horizontal. Between the rod being slightly smaller than the bore, the barrel being so short, and the suppressor so long, it might be adding up to make it look worse than it really is. I always check it with the rifle vertical. Just a suggestion. Edit - Not a suggestion really, since that is the proper way to check. Also, the rod is deflecting slightly due to it's own weight. I'd put money on that job being done perfectly. |

The AAC 77gr OTM did okay. I want to try some Black Hills and FGMM in different grains and projectiles. Also get a cover for the can... The mirage got pretty wicked. For the most part, its a shooter... Me on that caffeine, not so much. Lmao Left target I touched that "flyer" off when I was sittin on the 2nd stage and adjusted my grip... Oops. The 75gr Hornady was their Frontier 5.56 75gr BTHP Match stuff. Meh No clue what the group sizes are. 🤷🏼♂️  ETA... With and without flyer... Forgot I got popped a 6th shot on target cause the flyer pissed me off.
