Hit the range this morning, 36 and raining.
The 14.5 ran like a raped ape, suppressed and unsuppressed. Accuracy was great - didn't have any fancy loads to shoot, but with M193 and wolf MC it shot very well. Very satisfied with the outcome. I'll get pics and a vid up here after while. |

If so, it's even more bad ass than at first glance! |

Did this with Denex M855 at 100 yards today. 
Went shooting with Finslayer83 this morning and rezeroed my rifle, as I had to move the scope/mount around. This caused a huge change in zero, like 14" shift to the right at 50 yards. She's on now, and was soon busting clay pigeon fragments at 100 yards with ease. |

They also make it in different sizes than griffon so the 7.5 fits the N6 perfect. I almost went with the griffon 7in but I diddnt want parts on the exposed can burning foam inside my case when I throw it in after use. Waiting for a can to cool sucks! |

Okay, I joined the club (not really I realize now - not with the current fore-end). Aging eyes demanded it. Bushnell 1-4x24 in a PEPR mount on my 11.5" BCM upper. My first magnified optic. I haven't shot the combination yet, just put it together.
A few questions: 1. When you adjust the focus, you make the reticle clearer, right? Once you have it set, you don't mess with it do you? 2. Does the shorter barrel make the FSB more prominent in the optic? If the scope was mounted on a 16" or 20" would the FSB be visible at all? 3. The instructions say to zero the rifle at 100 yards and then the reticle will inform 200, 300, etc. yard shots. I assume that's designed around a 16" barrel. How much does that change with an 11.5" barrel? LOL. Like I'll ever take a 500 yard shot again. |

Compare the ballistics of your barrel and load with the optic's, calculators can be found online. keep in mind, barrels of the same length can/will produce different velocities with the same load, so to be precise, you'll need to chrono your barrel/ammo. depending on the reticle and the type of shooting you do it may make it more complicated than just learning your holdovers/unders |

I zero'd at 100 (when as an 11.5) and just learned the elevation adjustment on my turret.

So on that you're set. As to #2, you have a carbine gas system. It's the same distance from the scope on your 11.5" as it would be on a 16" carbine gas barrel. Quite honestly, with how close a FSB is to the scope, no matter which gas system you have, it really shouldn't make much difference. You'll see it on 1x, however, it'll be a small blur at the bottom of your sight picture on 4x. Shouldn't effect you what so ever. |

Terminal balls Out of the two rounds you mentioned, the 62gr TAP Barrier is going to provide better effective terminal ballistics out to a farther range than the Mk262. As another member posted at the bottom of the last page, there are some other loads that have shown to be superior to the JSP TAP offerings as well, namely a few manufacturers that produce loads utilizing the Barnes TSX projo, although I'm not sure on the costs of those. |

Let the BRD flow through you, I sure did.
Yes it is a 10" ALG, I was looking for a 12" but they were sold out when I ordered, but 10" should be more than enough for me. I will be using a Geissele gas block, kinda wish I would have ordered an adjustable one after reading through this page, but I'll see how it works out. |

Yes it is a 10" ALG, I was looking for a 12" but they were sold out when I ordered, but 10" should be more than enough for me. I will be using a Geissele gas block, kinda wish I would have ordered an adjustable one after reading through this page, but I'll see how it works out. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Munzy:

Those 13.7" barrels seem like a great setup too. I'm keeping an eye on 'em... ETA: Is that a 10" rail? What gas block are you going to run on the barrel? I'm about to say F' IT and scrap my 16 rebuild and do the mini recce with the 13.7 and F1 another lower. B...R...D... While I dont have the barrel yet, scrap the 16 and do the 13.7".

I'm curious to see how a standard gas block would work with a variety of ammo on the 13.7 ML. I'd prefer (at least at the moment as we know how fast we change) a "dumb" gas block. I know an adjustable would give you some serious flexibility but I'm not sure if I want to fiddle with it at the moment. Next I'm mulling over this going on a SBR or pinning a 249F as a "set it and forget it" configuration. Decisions... |

You won't need a adjustable block unless yore using a can. the 13.7" Infidel seems to have a port sized(I have no idea what the size is) right in the sweet spot to run both nato pressure and lower powered 223. It's a very smooth cycling configuration, obviously slightly dependent on BCG, RE, Spring, buffer and weight of the rifle. I run mine with an A5 RE and it feels pretty much on par with a 20" rifle. |

The A5 system has me VERY intrigued. I have ignored it, intentionally, not wanting to spend any more on these damn things. I may just try one on this next one. |

Good info. I can tweak with springs/buffer combos as I have plenty of options. Of course a can will be required down the road to fulfill the mini recce prophesy... |

Be warned, it's kind of like gieselle triggers, once you try one you'll want them on everything. I have an extra one sitting here, be more than willing to send it to you so you can try it out. they really shine on SBRs. |

This was my fear I am gathering the parts for my CQBR with FSB build, and I have run out of REs. I bought a half dozen VLTOR 6 position, foolishly thinking I would never need another.
Decisions, Decisions...I bet on that 10.3, supressed, it would be king ? |

I built a dissy with rifle length gas with an A5 that I'll hopefully get to test tomorrow. I've read the A5 tends to fix undergass issues with this particular setup. I've never shot a rifle length gas, but my middy w/A5 is sooo smooth that I have high expectations for the dissy. |

Fixes undergas issues? Please 'splain. Not discounting, I am truly intrigued. I want to choke the gas back until I can nearly make it not function, so this has my interest.
