View Quote Two questions if you don't mind: What kind of accuracy are you getting beyond point blank range with that rig? And, do you know what it weighs naked, with the NF, in 12.5" 5.56 trim, without the suppressor? Oh, one more: Are you able to run subs in 300 BO AND regular 5.56 without changing anything on the buffer end, or adjusting gas? I think yours is the hottest setup I've seen yet. Thanks! |

I don't have the weight unfortunately as my postal scale taps out after a couple pounds and the bathroom scale isn't accurate enough.
But, it does feel really well balanced compared to my 16" rig. Currently I've only gone out and shot for groups once with it (when I zeroed it) and I was getting 1" groups at 50yds with IMI 77gr. Same ammo out of my 16" SS 5-r barreled MRP with the suppressor on and I can get rounds to touch each other at 100yds. Need to take this little guy back out just to shoot groups and see how I can do. |

No op system tweaks needed to go from 300 sub sonic to heavy 5.56 rounds?

Not currently. I went from firing IMI 5.56 unsuppressed and suppressed to firing 300BO subsonic and supersonic (suppressed).
LMT Enhanced BCG, mil-spec buffer spring and an H2 buffer. But, the next weekend I was out shooting PMC .223 bronze suppressed and fired off a quick string of 10 or so rounds and had a failure to lock open. Made me think maybe my buffer was bouncing and cycling too fast. If it's doing that on PMC then i'm likely to start getting bolt over base malfs on 5.56 Going to add the Geissele super braided buffer spring to the gun and then try h1, h2, and h3 buffers with PMC .223 and IMI 5.56 and try to use my ejection pattern to guage cyclic speed. It does feel like it's recoiling a little hard for what it is. |

View Quote You could run the Rubber City adjustable gas bolt carrier. I've heard good things about them except it's not the kind of system that you adjust often as it tends to get baked tight. But it WOULD allow you to decrease the gas on your system to optimal. You have such a wide range of stuff there. I'd really consider the A5 as it allows you more leeway without fooling with gas. I've heard people say that it totally smoothed out problematic builds. Me? I don't mind messing with gas cause mine is experimental rather than iconic. Lightweight op system and all sorts of stuff. Wanted to play around with the "beyond milspec" side of things. Not a popular choice on this thread. But I don't care. It's working for me so far. |

View Quote I'd be totally sold but for the weight. Since I'm a shooter and not a collector and too old to enjoy swinging a 12 pound rig, I might have to resist the considerable appeal. Is there a lightweight Recce thread? Ha. |

View Quote I'm afraid I'm a ways beyond that. A lightweight stainless match barrel (not pencil weight. I don't do pencil) with a Ti gas block and a KMR rail is where I am. I figure, why carry all that rail real estate I'm not using? I don't even use sling swivels. Those things are heavy enough to hoist an engine. I just paracord my sling to my stock and use one of those lightweight wire sling things up front. Backup irons are extra ounces. Got an RMR on a super light offset mount for that and it's way more capable. Most guys here would find all this sissy, but it's not for show, I'm not going on any deployments, and I'm sure it would take some abuse. My rig wouldn't turn heads on this thread. But everyone who picks it up instantly breaks into a smile. You can carry it all day and hardly know it's there. Not a range toy. I carefully avoided delicate parts. It's not an MRAP or even a HUMVEE. Maybe more like a Baja truck. Light and fast, but built for reasonably hard use. |

I'm getting bad thoughts on a Holland-esque mini recce with 9" PRI tube and AEM5 that slightly recesses inside. Throw a 1-4 or 1-6 on there and you're good to go.

The SDN-6 takes a light weight and handy mini recce and turns into a front heavy, longer than necessary, unwieldy bludgeon. I really like the performance and durability of the M4-2000, but at the end of the day, I may opt for the Mini-4 simply for minimum added length and weight. I sprayed a BCM MOD 3 grip with RAL8000 and put up the HK grip until further notice. With the standard trigger guard, the HK left a gap between the guard and grip and the receiver flanges were chewing up my middle finger and as a millennial that gets passed on the road constantly, I need my middle finger (kidding, I've never given anyone the bird in my entire life). Didn't have time to break out the Canon 7D last night so Instagram pics will have to suffice for now. I'll try to take some better pics soon and post them up. View Quote Also, is that an LT135?

I opened it up and there was a lot of paint inside the upper. I scrubbed it all off and oiled it up. Next weekend I plan to test it with a standard and a heavy buffer, suppressed and unsuppressed to see what works. I was also using .223 when I first shot it. I'm hoping that 5.56 and a slick upper will be hot enough to cycle it. Don't want to have to open the gas port if I don't have to. |
