From last weekends EAG class in Congaree, SC. I put 1,200+ rounds through it over 3 days, both suppressed and unsuppressed, and it had no malfunctions. Great pics! How bad is blowback with your socom? Mine is pretty terrible with the factory 10" barrel and stock gas control screw. |

My barrel and Stephen H's barrel were the first two cut by Marvin Pitts to 10". Reamer size to open the gas port insert was 0.078125" and the carbine worked fine with mil-spec M193, M855, & Mk262 with a gas port insert opening of ~0.0700"

That's one size smaller than what I have in the gun now (and 3 smaller than what came with the FN CQC barrel). I'm going to order that screw and try it out. *fingers crossed* |

I suspect that the "heavy" comment was a combination of everything including the rail, bipod, weapon light and telescope. I'm personally jealous that I don't have access to that kind of shooting-land.

I didn't care for it. Managed to snag a PWS/YHM QD mount and thats whats staying on it. Branham 2" rails are nice. Not as much sticking out and not as much weight on the end as some of the longer bigger ones. |

Great choice of suppressors; I should have bought a Surefire 762 can instead of my AAC 762. FWIW, I spoke with a Class III guy today who advised me that Form 4s are taking around 11 months and e-filed F1s are right at 90 days so maybe you'll see them this month? Cheers |
