Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dobs013: I’m not sure what the deal is with the barrel I got. Every Noveske Barrel I have ever had has had the factory gas block installed with the the block cross pinned. This is the first one I have ever seen stripped. It came in a plastic mesh sleeve with caps and wrapped in brown paper. There was no commercial packaging at all. So I’m wondering if it may be a contract barrel or something. |

Eventually I need to get a different stock, but for now ammo is much higher on the list. I think I have ~250rds loaded in mags but that's it.
That said, minus a few parts this is the rifle that Arfcom built. I was gifted a VX-III 3.5-10x50mm by a good friend of mine today, so I'm giving my brother the 2-7x33 long eye relief scope that was on it. Now I just need the docs to clear me medically so I can go shooting to zero and group it.

https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/207715/DSC_1319-404766.JPG  Thank you for the barrel and other goodies. Once the docs clear me to shoot and the weather is decent, I'll get a range report to you.  But considering potential seizures, I can see why shooting right now can be bad.

Those of you using 14.5" barrels on your Recce builds - which brand and model did you go with.
I'm looking at Ballistic Advantage, but I have no idea which 14.5" barrel to choose - which specific one would be ideal? |

I scored a Leupold Mark 4 2.5-8x36 off the EE for my recce. Any suggestions for a mount/rings? I'd like something QD because I occasionally like to take the scope off and practice with the BUIS. I have some experience with ADM mounts, which are okay, but I was wondering if there are any superior (but comparably priced) options out there.

If you're wanting to switch it up a little, cut the recce barrel to 15.4 so the ops sits close to the rail. Then slowly surf the ee looking for cheap holland parts. They are all still being made so that shouldn't be a problem. |

IMO in terms of sexiness: 15" Mod 1 trumps everything. I'd rank the Holland after that. Both are really nifty setups though. |

So been reading a lot of the posts and seeing what people have, built my first AR a year ago and building a .300blk pistol with high end parts, like geissle and whatnot, so getting into the high end optics I guess you could say.
My 16” RECCE rifle has a trijicon accupower 1-4 on it, and I haven’t seen many of those around, I paid $700 flat for it New. Would ya guys say that’s a good optic to be running on something like that or try and sell it and put something else on there? I shot about 300rds with it. It’s nice to my limited knowledge. I’ve only ever used a trijicon acog when i was in the marine corps. I got a trijocon MRO set aside for my .300blk pistol |
