Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jhon: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/77573/IMG_0668_JPG-3112258.jpg Been doing some reading about how 12.5" barrels perform and decided to try one out. Freshly assembled Daniel Defense 12.5" barrel. Next step is to test fire with the YHM suppressor gas block. I believe it will cycle fine with the can, but likely not enough gas without it as the gas port in the block is only 0.054" so it'll take some tuning to get it right.  Attached File |

It's not ideal but certainly works. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/487230/1000005847_jpg-3089312.JPG I was just thinking of switching from an offset to piggyback for my NF x42. I like how this Acro sits |

The x42 is really comfy to sit behind tho |

Not a lot of time today. Took my 12.5 out to 500 with a 15 MPH crosswind. Easy hits on c zone steel with AAC 77OTM. Even did pretty well on the 6” swinger

Makes me wonder if you're giving up something in clarity or light transmission. Makes an ultra short look like Hubble.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell: Makes me wonder if you're giving up something in clarity or light transmission. Makes an ultra short look like Hubble. Shape of the lenses is going to be more extreme than scopes with longer tubes… more extreme curvature on the lenses with tube size that’s no larger is going to have an impact on light transmission eye box and image quality all things being equal… that being said I’m not a optical savant and I’m sure they balanced the pros/cons based on what the contract required… |

My 14.5” 6.5G.
Second iteration for this build. First go was an 18” barrel. After suppressor approval I had to go shorter. Pin/weld by Justin Thomas. Barrel is a Lilja from Six Sigma Arms. Unfortunately I haven’t had enough time to get out and really test it past break in. G Sorry for no big image. Imgurs not working. I’ll post my 5.56 build next. I don’t have a picture with its latest dedicated suppressor approval. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Splitpoint135: Nice, I wish I kept my mk2. Thanks, this is the first one of this model that I have owned, and I have to say that I like it. The only downside is that I only have two rail sections for it, I would prefer to have three of the short sections but that's life. It's too bad that Geissele quit making the actual 13 inch length rails, I have a 13.5 in MK8 and a MK16 and I really like them, but they're not conducive to a 13.9 in barrel if a suppressor is to be used. I do like how this upper turned out as it shoots fairly accurate with the BA 13.9 Hanson barrel. |
