I was browsing back through my Gun Tests magazines from 2001 and saw this gem. Probably the earliest Reece (scopewise) setup I've ever seen, too bad the mount was crazy high
 . Back in '01, $2300 for this would've been astronomical for me. Just thought I'd share.

Going to starr a build and was wondering when measuring the barrel is it to the tip of the actual barrel or to the end of whatever you have on the end, I.e. nuzzle brake, flash hider, etc?
many thanks |

Technically would be at the crown regardless of MD. |

I used to feel like this gun needed a FF RAS, Ops Inc, and a NF 2.5-10 (and it would if I wanted to post it in the NSW thread)
But now, if it just had a MK16 instead of the MK2 and a mil-spec can...it'd be pretty close to something possibly used in the wild.

Can someone explain why "profile" is considered so important when building a RECCE? I have a 16'' SS 1:7 twist pencil profile. My thought process was shave as much weight as possible for a "all-in-one" "recon" rifle. Unloaded, mine is 8 lbs. seems like one of the lightest ones on here, which in my eyes, sounds like the ideal recce. Does profile really effect accuracy? Does the barrel move around or something if it is thinner?

If you're hell bent on keeping a thin profile barrel and actually send rounds down the pipe I would suggest being ready to change out barrels more often. I've seen pencil pro barrels open up after relatively low round count. IIRC approx 1000 rds in. Another at 1100 and another at 1400 rds. All 55gr FMJ-BT brass cased without mag dumps but with heavier rate of fire. Semi auto, unsupressed. Take it or leave it.

Also, a large north Texas swat team has utilized 11.5” LW barrels for years with accuracy degrading at the same rate as the government profiles. Way more than 1k rounds.... Eta: all the LW barrels i have experience with are cold hammer forged and chrome lined. A LW stainless barrel would probably suffer far greater in the accuracy department if heated up regularly |

I appreciate it and think I'll give one of the chrome CHF ones a try. I have a VLTOR VIS-1 that needs completed.

Lightweight/pencil barrels have come a long way in recent years. Proper heat treat and stress relief in particular minimize stringing in modern pencil barrels.
The InrangeTV guys did a nice video comparing an original Colt SP-1 with a Faxon pencil barrel and how heating them up affects accuracy and precision:  WWSD: Pencil barrel Stress & Heat Zero Testing |

I have rifles with faxon 16" pencil and DD .625 (the old style gas journal). Both are impressively accurate. i may even pull the SS10x from my .308 just to test each next range day.

Unloaded, mine is 8 lbs. seems like one of the lightest ones on here, which in my eyes, sounds like the ideal recce. Does profile really effect accuracy? Does the barrel move around or something if it is thinner? The true "Recce" barrel is a hybrid designed by NSWC Crane for use by Navy SEALS. It is heavy and larger diameter under the hand guard to the gas block (.975" taper to .850") but more like a gov profile diameter from the block shoulder forward (.750" to .725"). This makes it stiff, but still relatively light at about 2.2 pounds. A match grade stainless barrel in this profile can be spooky accurate and still a reasonable weight. As built by Lilja, mine is sub 1/2 MOA capable with carefully worked up match ammo. Wylde chamber, 1:8 twist, 416 stainless, hand lapped. Here is a photo as received before I installed it.

So, this is what I’ve got coming down the pipe.
I’m planning to “improve” my current rifle. Right now, it’s a Spike’s 16” upper, gov’t profile bbl, free-floated barrel with a Leupold VX-R 1.25-4 in an ADM mount. A1 stock. On order, I have This barrel and I also jumped into the NFA game and ordered an AAC M4-2000 suppressor just today. Any suggestions for improvements? I’m keeping the existing handguard (MI) but will be changing it out in the future as funds permit. ETA: pic of the rifle as it was:  Attached File |
