I was zeroed for 75's so not upset about it. Hopefully get some more time behind it at distance. |

KAC does the same thing with the SR25 - they use a 3/4 muzzle thread diameter for the same reason. We don't have to be burdened by decisions made back in the 60s anymore. We can do things like: Make gas ports smaller for suppressor only hosts Make muzzle thread diameters wider if we're using a specific muzzle device Make barrel shoulders tapered instead of square (the new BRT barrels have this option, didn't when I got mine) Use an ideal gas system length instead of just carbine or rifle Make rounded lugs on the bolt to reduce breakages Etc. I don't need my rifles to be backward compatible with everything going back to the M16A1 because I'm not maintaining a nation's military supply. :) |

Got a CTR to try. Ditching the SOPMOD since it made things a little to heavy in the back, and I felt like the sloped side tried to force my head too low.

I can see why the SOPMOD would be good on a full size gun with a can though. It's a heavy motherfucker.

Replaced the Elcan with an NX8. Working around the house, the eyebox isn’t bad on 1x like some of the reviews I’ve seen have suggested. Seems a bit tight on 8x, but I’ll have to see how that plays out at the range.
Now I just need another MAWL to replace the DBAL. My wallet hates me. Attached File |

Due to my former range situation, I'd never had the mini nsw past 100. At my new range I took it to 500 this morning. 13" barrel in a 20mph cross wind making consistent hits at 5. I was damn impressed.
Bipod was out so far because to hit 5 I'm shooting way up hill. The picture compression is extremely deceiving. Attached File |

13.7 withe p/w surefire. Just got the collapsing stock, along with a 9” 300blk barrel so once I form one this thing will be small.

At 250 I started losing faith because the wind was pushing m193 everywhere. Switched to 69s and pushed out to 4. Then switched to 77s to make 5. 30 hits in a row at 5 with about 1.5 dialed on wind. |
