Page....Yes, I missed it.

I am not a rocket scientist or a lawyer but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last year...... Before I cut down a mag, seems like a no brainer would be to put a wood block under the spring kind of like plugging an shotgun for 3 rounds. The normal mag would then only hold 5 rounds and be legal. Any guys from commie states know the rules on this?

18" ordered sometime in late Dec.(28th?) of '09 arrived 9-Apr.-'10. it's just sitting on the bipod i need to order a Larue QD bipod mount. and i'm still deliberating on what glass to order in, just as well that it's going to take me some time to decide as i'll have to sell off some more stuff to afford the glass anyway...

How does your OBR balance with the Ace stock? Considering doing the same thing to mine.

Posted: 4/20/2010 5:31:37 PM EDT

[#24]

^^^^^
i don't know as i am without optics currently. well i could set that old nikon 4.5-16 SF mildot on it for weight comparrison, but obviously the 30mm rings wouldn't work and while it's an ok scope for the money imho not worthy of the OBR. i think the addition of optics, as well as the larue QD bipod adapter and bipod, and the light i'll probably get around to mounting eventully will change the balane a lot, not to mention the fat that i haven't loaded up and mag and that will ofourse effet the balance greatly...

as is though, and in short it feels really good, though leaves the rifle just a touch muzzle heavy. while solid as shit the ace stock isn't much heavier imho than the A2 stock. i'd just be guessing but i would assume that it would weight in near the weight of an A2 stock, the ace is 10.9oz according to the midway website(minus buffer, spring, and A1/2 reciever extension/buffer tube). where as i saw the listed weight of a PRS at 1.85lbs which should atully balance a tad better if you're not taking optics, loaded mag, etc. in to account. either way it should balance a little bit better than the A2, and i would guess about the same as the CTR, but not as well as the PRS. i really like it though becasue of the neoprene sleve it's really comfy and makes for a nice addition and a comfortable place to pearch the side of your face being as the optics mount and 20moa rail, is going to make the cheek weld just a tad higher than on some guns...

hell man i don't know what to tell you, i like it, a lot! if you're ever over this way you can give it a handeling and see if you like it...

ETA: i think when i have the time i'm going to make a "sleeve" out of green fabric, with 550 cord ties on both ends, and a strip of velcro to put it together and fasten it around the black neoprene. the whole gun with be done in green eventully i think with vertical FDE tiger stripes...
kinda like this but with likely without the "snakeskin" pattern in the paint and with a better rifle, and much better optics mount...

Is it just the lighting or has LaRue stopped etching the bolts on the OBR with "LARUE"
Sure hope not.

Thanks for the excellent rifle! The only think it needs is an ambi bolt catch.

That is very nice. I am thinking of switching to the PRS stock.

I picked this up late Thursday. 20", CTR, Ergo grip, Mark 4 6.5-20, Illum. TMR.

I don't have much for a range report. It turns out that the range I planned on going to is not open to the public.

Good new is, I think I'll join. They have a 600 yd line!!

So I was only able to shoot behind the house. Because of that, all I shot was Magtech 150 gr.

I did have a couple of problems, FTE's. I'm really hoping the crew at LT can help.

The damn POS chinese brass catcher I was using isn't worth a shit!!

Mark, are you listening? We need brass catchers that work right!!

ETA: In with the MGL was a small tube of 'TW25B, Lubricant/Protectant, Light Grease.' Has anyone used this stuff? Reading the card, it sounds great. Not that I expect that the
LT crew would send anything that wasn't! Anyone have more details about it? Is this stand alone, or do you use oil over it?

looks great AKETHAN. Let me make a suggestion please. Get a podloc for your Harris. Those things are absolutely wonderful. I wish Mark would just add them to all the special bipods to begin with. Life is SOO much easier with it.

Anyways, I see you installed the monpod adapter for the FUG that jordanh makes. I got mine today and have attached it to my POD on a entry carbine I have. Works wonderfully, superior quality and design. I am very happy with it. I believe ML would be proud that it is accessorizing his rifles using the FUG.

I just haven't developed the nerve yet to dremel my $250 PRS stock on my OBR yet.

JORDANH, you need to send one of these to Mark/Mark and let them check it out.

Everybody else can get theirs from this thread info: FUG MONOPOD THREAD

Thanks for the kind words Al! It's always a pleasure to hear that.

Akethan, Thanks for posting up some pics. Looks like a great rifle. Beautiful dog too!

I'm sure one of those targets Mark posted is mine cause I got my invoice and tracking info this morning.

I'll post pics when I get everything Monday.

Oh yeah, ordered Dec 09 so 4+ months for a 20"
