I have owned about 6 different AR's but this is the first one I've built. I bought all of the parts from Adco. (Other than the buttstock). The scope is a Leupold clone from 1337 tactical.com. It's a place holder till my DMS-1 and Larue SPR mount comes in. Particulars: -RRA Upper and Lower -16" WOA Mid Gas Barrel w, LoPro Gas Block -MI Full Length Free Float HG -RRA 2 Stage National Match Trigger -Magpul Trigger Guard -Tango Down FDE Pistol Grip -CAA 6 Pos. Collapsible Stock -YHM Phantom Flash Hider   |

RECCE - Reconnaissance (in this context a 16" free floating match barrel upper, ACOG optic, originally used by SEALS) Just like SPR has come to mean an 18" barreled AR with a certain look Recce or Recon has too. As I understand it the NSWG guys wanted something with a little more reach than a M4 so thay had some thing kinda like this built. Someone here surely has better details than this. My original inspiration was Noveske Rifleworks Afghan Carbine which has a 14.5" barrel. I may eventally SBR this but 1.5" can't make a big difference. |
I weighed the rifle on a plain old home scale and it came out at 10lbs without a magazine. That sounds heavy to me so I'm not sure it the scale is correct. However, I can easily hold the rifle with the pistol grip alone and it is not front heavy at all. This is a medium weight barrel and this is a Clone of a Leupold, so the glass may not be as heavy as the real deal. |
