Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By M_O_G: Rincoln, Please, explain your system. I love the looks of both the upper and the lower (looks like a LaRue lower?). What length is your gas system, and what length/model/make is your handguard? Does the muzzle device (it looks like a suppressor or a really elongated brake) hit the interior of the hand-guard when you shoot? Also, what model/make is that muzzle device? That barrel, did it come with your Tromix upper build? I am going for something like your setup and want to get ideas from everyone here.  The lower is a Spike's Gen2 Billet (I have a matching upper that is a 300BLK) The upper is an Anderson forged IIRC w/ factory enlarged port (I decided forged over billet for strength reasons) Handguard is Spike's BAR2 12" (inside diameter 1.8" and it doesn't touch my suppressor) Gas block is Superlative Bleed-Off - Pistol length LaRue Handgrip Fail Zero Nickel Boron BCG Tromix Barrel / Bolt 10.5" Squirrel Daddy laser etched ejection port door Stock is Magpul UBR Trigger is Geissele SSA-E Charging handle is Radian Raptor (I suggest the Raptor LT for newer builds) Suppressor is SilencerCo Hybrid 46 (direct thread) |

Yes, I forgot to mention that -- it's Brownells AlumaHyde II in OD Green. 👍 And yeah, I really like the little TA44s for guns that will mainly be shooting within 100 yards or so. I also have one on my 9mm SBR and it's been great for that as well. |

Glad it is just property damage and everyone is well!

I'm guessing that's probably the case for most people in here? Otherwise, it's going to be REALLY expensive to shoot. |

Upper receiver opened up to Tromix specs
Tromix barrel is 14" with matching bolt BCM handguard Muzzle device is a custom made unit that resembles a BE Myers 249 Using a Spikes lower with Geissele SSA The combo is light, accurate and has been reliable.

I like Black Butterfly as they have range ammo for about $1.40 per round in quantity and they even have a break in special for $1.24 a round right now.

This was built so long ago (2011ish) I had to order and wait a year to get a Rock River complete upper just to junk it out for the barrel and bolt.
It's e(de)volved over the years but hasn't varied too much. Scoped, non scoped. A1 stock A2 stock. CMP full float tube on and off. Basically every piece on it was modified, barrel turned down, etc. Alas once built and shot it's allure faded, now it sees daylight infrequently.
