My spr/m4 hardly ever gets used. I need to change that. I have 2-3 of the spr/m4 brakes and a few of the flash hiders just sitting in the safe.

I had 3x brakes at one point, traded one to ragincajun1919 ? and the other two are just sitting around now.

I think shorter, more compact cans that suppress decently are more appealing to me now than long ones that get a few more decibels of reduction.

Currently gathering parts for a 6.5 G w/ 12.5 Barrel, after seeing these pics this has solidified my plans for my 12.5 build...so much that I found a New Old Stock AAC SPR/M4 in 6.8! on GB and bought it.

Currently on a Form 3 to my dealer, I have a lot cans and always had hard-on for those SPR/M4s....that’s a sick rifle, can you give a Range Report when you have time?

The TR21 - any reason for going with that instead of a 24?

I bought the tr21 for an eod build, and fell in love with the eye relief of the tr21. So I put an eotech 552 on the eod clone and put the tr21 on my block 2. I've still considered a tr24 down the line. I had two tr21's for a short while, but sold the other. Glad you like it. Thank you.

thanks for the clarification. So the 21 has better eye relief. Good to know. I'm thinking of a 24 for an upcoming 12" grendel build. May look at the 21 instead.

Check out how far forward I have it mounted. I can flip up my rear sight. The larue lt139 was developed for this optic specifically I believe. It has an extended cantilever to push the optic even further from the eye. Fov is huge also. This has become my favorite optic. I've been eyein a few tr24 however since I've never looked through one. Somethin else to consider, the tr21 has been discontinued, from what I understand, and I had one hell of a time findin this one 2nd hand. It's in great shape too.

Too bad I can't see the front sight. Even on 1.25x setting.
Eta- uses 1" rings instead of 30mm.

No shame in that at all sir.

I sent my 13.7" rock creek w/phantom 7.62 mount off to be re-pinned. It was wiggly which....well that definitely shouldn't happen on any lowers other than my SBR one, so just to make it more usable it's at D Wilson.

Also have a BA tube getting the 15.1" Ops-contour treatment from Wilson, so once both of those are back I'll drop a few fresh photos.

My original P/W got loose (weld wasn't built up very high and the filing down to fit the YHM collar weakened it; thankfully I had the upper separated from the lower when the MD started wiggling loose) so it went off to D Wilson for the "month of zuck" deal. Just got this texted, said it should ship tomorrow which means it'll be back in time for range day next weekend.

Nice rifles. Here is what the OP put as the rules of the thread...

RIFLES/SBRs ONLY, PLEASE. No Pistols or "PDWs" with braces, etc. You pistol peeps have an entire subforum for that stuff.

14.5" and shorter, free floated, variable mag optic.
