Nice setup, how is its weight. Have a simalar build waiting to be put together. SS or CL barrel? Kind of want to convert a 6.5 grendal barrel for the build. It's a 16" SS 5-r barrel that was dimpled and cerakoted by Marvin Pitts. Put my 19oz can on the end of it for a while and then anything you pick up after that feels like a feather. |

The NF NX8 1-8X came in today, very nice optic! The geissele super precision will be here tomorrow and the Surefire muzzle brake on Friday.
Here's a couple quick pics, bear in mind the pics of the reticle are only taken with my phone, without the optic being mounted, the eyepiece on the scope isn't focused as of yet either. The foliage is approximately 300 yards away.

nice looking scope, I think i am going to list my trijicon and pick up the NF when next time I am in. Dont dislike the trijicon, just I like the weight of NF, plus, its been a while since ive shot a NF.

Shot the first target after mounting and sighting in the NX8. It's important to note this is a single stage mil spec trigger that comes with the Daniel Defense LPK. Ammo was Black Hills 77gr. Keep in mind this is a chrome lined MRP barrel. 15 rounds were fired using only a bipod, no sand bag and the gun wasn't in a sled or anything like that. Distance was 100 yards.

A couple of friends of mine did the conversion. They did a faxon 6.5 grendel for me as well, pictures back a page or so. It has a standard extension with a pressed on sleeve that they machined. They press on the sleeve, mill the cross-slot, then turn down the index pin. They turned out beautiful, I couldn't be happier. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 7point62:

Hey guys. I have been out of the loop for a while. Anyone have a break down of the weight differences between the three carbine length models. I have the original model and Iam thinking about going for the M-LOK or SLK variant. M-LOK seems to be the lightest as it appears to be the one with the most material removed but I could be mistaken.
Thanks, |

Anyone direct attach a Harris bipod to something like a magpul mlok adapter? Replaced my ACOG with a 1-8x and am thinking about using my rifle length mlok MRP as an SPR
I’ve really just seen QD mounts attached to rail sections |

Putting the MRP into more of an SPR role. Probably need to do some touch up work with some darker greens and browns on the other rifle to make it more SC friendly.

Other rifles are totally irrelevant at this point. This is a chrome lined MRP with shit 55gr IMI ammo and a single stage Daniel Defense mil spec trigger that comes in their LPK.
Id love to sled this rifle with match ammo and a Geissele 2 stage trigger.

Feed it just about anything heavy, 69gr and up, and it's a monster. I've been feeding it CBC 77gr mk262 clone the last couple of years and it's been great.

NZ rifle clone. Foregrip isn’t the same but I prefer the TD. Also I tried to see if Trijicon would sell me the model ACOG that NZ adopted but they wouldn’t budge. It’s a shooter too!

And here are some pics of the ACOG, official designation is TA31NZ. 
You can see the BUIS on the ACOG much like the ECOS model we can get. Also the final variant appears to use an adjustable RMR versus non adjustable during the trials.

Edwin,
Not that many, surprisingly, under 10K. It'd had mag dumps in auto fire in Big Sandy, and most of the courses I took were taken with this. I contacted Nefarious Arms to either flute or dimple the barrel, never heard back from them. It's still on its original, heavy ass medium contoured barrel lol.

With the MRP I found the 14.5" CL barrel fairly optimum, especially suppressed, and the 16" 1/7 SS in particular just superb with everything. The only disappointment was the (early) 18" SS 1/8 very heavy profile. It, however, is a frickin' laser with 55gr matchkings! I still have it, with less than 1K down the pipe!
