NSWDG/Delta/AFSOC Recce Clone Picture and Discussion Thread (Page 5 of 137)
Once again a thread has made me build a rifle. I did have an extra SSA to use though  . Rocking the Recce 5 until my AEM5 is cleared sometime next year. Pulled the 2.5-10 off my Mod 1 as I have a 3:5-15 NXS coming for it. Any suggestions for a red dot to mount on the TRR?

My barrel is an LT stealth also. CLE never got back to me on a custom 15.1”. So went with the stealth. It’s a precision barrel for sure. |

ETA- Juat noticed the gas block journal is 2" long on this barrels. Does the chop allow you to use that as the step? No real point to these questions other than curiosity

The Gas Block journal is an optical illusion. It’s the same diameter as the rest of the barrel. The finish is just different. Just went and tested mine out. 
Sent adco my barrel and rail and told them I wanted a credit card to fit between the rail and can. It’s perfect. |

Picture someone posted in the AE thread who sent their brake to D. Wilson. 
An old AE brake with a flat spot. |

Would it be tacky of me to ask how much it cost to have the barrel chopped and contoured by ADCO? |

The barrel is subMOA, but it's not a 416 upper. Civilian MR556.

I’ve decided optics wise I’m going to save my pennies go for the NF 2.5-10x24. I like the combo of weight, power and asthetics.
Until all those pennies are saved up I will be sporting a Burris XTR 1-5 just to have the gun on the range. Yes I know this is not correct but I want to shoot the gun in the months it will take to save up for the NF. |
