Seeing all these got me thinking about redoing my 10.5 LMT MRP. Don’t have much to spend since truck had to be fixed. But eyeing a Primary Arms 1-10x28 to put on it since it what I grab when the coyotes are around the property.

14.5" SOLGW V2 combat barrel. I've thought about swapping it out with their 14.5" SPR barrel but this one shoots well enough at the moment. I'd also have to get a new direct thread adapter for the Polonium-K.

Ironic that these are rifles/glass that probably aren’t best suited to big holds/dials, but here we are stretching their little legs as far as they can go.

At peak absurdity I took my 10” mini to 700. I was out of reticle and the round was just crawling along. Can’t say it was effective lol.

Being at the edge is the most fun.

I was shooting subsonic .22lr at 400m today consistently also.

I really didn't want to drop big money on glass for this thing but after today. Smashing 2/3 IPSC at 500m with that thick ass nova reticle. It has be thinking of going back to a Razor or maybe an NX8.

I’m really happy with this Geissele barrel so far. With cold weather gloves on from the prone it printed numerous ten shot, 1-1.5 minute groups with the psa 77gr sierra loading. I have zero doubt that it can be tighter with better inputs from the shooter.  

Gassed really soft with a sci six vented end cap. I will probably back down to an H1 buffer.

I haven't ever looked through a razor.

But it's a lot lighter than the vortex PST 1-6x I used to have but seems to look the same. I didn't ever have them side by side so it's just a feeling thing.

The dot is red dot bright.

There isn't the fisheye effect I get with the nx8 but also it isn't ffp.

It feels like a 6x p4xi.

I think I got it for under $600 a couple years ago from the ee. It's definitely great around that price point. Or even for 800+ based on what else is available these days.

I think the only reason they aren't more ubiquitous is that their distribution channels are weird.

About a month ago I called them and asked if they had any .880 gas blocks in stock, and several minutes later it was listed "in stock" on their website. So, I ordered the .880 and the 1.10, everything shipped quickly as well.

Not sure if the second rifle qualifies as a mini but I’ve snuck it in here before and no one threw tomatoes at me

Absolutely loving the G barrel in my 12.5. Very soft, was 100% reliable in the low 20s with and without the can, and I knocked out a ~.8moa 9 round (I can’t count) group. I can’t replicate that every time but the barrel is clearly up for it.

IIRC one of ya'll had the barrel chopped on your m4a1 Block II RIS II so it was damn near gap-less with the surefire RC2 can... I remember asking, but I cannot for the life of me remember what length it was chopped to.

If it was you... What was the length again? And was it length to muzzle or length to the shoulder threads?

I'm putting one together and was looking for pics, but can't really find any. Surely others have done this:

14.5 Colt SOCOM barrel + Long FF Ras w/MK4 3.5-10 M3 for the optic. Kinda mini Mod 1 ish. Not going to do the AEM can as I'll just use the M42K I already have.

Closest thing I could find to the barrel/rail combo is something posted by @MNRidesHonda on pg 142 of this thread, but I think that might be a 13-something.

Would love thoughts, feedback, pics, and advice on the scope mount. I think I'm leaning NF Unimount 1.5 w/20moa.

Yea don't sell it. Have it chopped. Maybe do 13.3" the flash hider for the cob pushes it out a little further than a surefire.
