Well, pseudo SPR. I've built it with a White Oak 18" stainless 1/7 twist SPR-R barrel w/windage adjustable front sight housing, Viking Tactics (JP Enterprises) rifle length modular floating forend, Bushmaster A4 upper receiver, DPMS engraved lower, RRA match trigger and lower parts, Hogue grip, A2 buttstock, Colt M16 bolt carrier group, Armalite scope mount, Leupold VX2 4-12x40AO scope , Harris BRM bipod, and a YHM quick attach Stainless Phantom supressor and mount. The engraving was done by Tom Sawyer Manufacturing before they sold the company. Many of us VA guys got them and there were several designs to choose from. All were excellent, I just liked the "Official Virginia Black Rifle" design the best. Sorry it's a little blurry, I don't take very good close-up pictures. The engraving is super crisp, don't let the photo fool you. I'm still working up a load for it, but I have no doubt it can do 5-shot, 1-hole groups supressed. So far the best I've gotten is about 5/8" with Hornady 75gr. bullets. I always end up pulling a shot or two. I want to try some Sierra 77's and some 60gr. HP flat-base varmint rounds. Most of my shots are within 300 yards. I built it as a lightweight target/groundhog rifle. The supressor is great. I've posted about the can before and I can't say enough good things. It's rock solid, sound supression is great, and it only weighs 20 oz. It's very comfortable to shoot without hearing protection. I paid $475 for the can + tax stamp so the value is excellent also. It's holding up very well so far. I think I've got about 400 rounds through it so far. I've shot handloads, Wolf, XM193, Winchester, Black Hills, etc. and everything runs just like it did unsupressed. It actually seems to make good ammo a tiny bit more accurate. I still want to get a low-profile backup sight for it that will fit under the scope eye bell. Any ideas? That area is extremely tight. MJD    |
