If I had known the country was going to turn to shit in the three months after that sale, I would have bought more stuff. We had a shopping cart full of ammo, uppers, parts, optics, etc. I missed the initial first day of the sale. My friend told me everything was 50% off (except firearms), and I really couldn't believe it. |

This was a 7.5” SBR that I have had for 20 years. The Riflespeed gasblock converts it into the softest shooting gun I own. Even better than a PWS turned all the way down, which is pretty hard to beat.

I changed the MRO HD mount from the lower 1/3rd to and absolute from Scalerworks. So far I have about 4.5k rds through this build and 3k of it are on the FDE Sharps Brothers M7 BCG. It runs reliably with and without a muffler and the new V7 Inconal gas tube makes sense when you run heavy strings with a muffler even in semi.

Is the Brown two-piece mlok rail a Midwest that’s broken at the back or is it something else? Looks good!
