This thread and the rifles have influenced me on what I really want and need out of a rifle. I have a lot of redundancy in capabilities that's just not necessary. If a lighter, shorter rifle can hit at 500 yards just as easily as a SPR or NSW recce, why would I keep investing in my longer guns that don't get shot? Eyekahn got rid of his NSW because he can do the same thing with his 12.5" or 13." I need to trim the fat. Build one good 5.56 mini recce and get NV so I can shoot it...at coyotes...at night.

I loved my NSW I'll build another one day as well as a legit MK12 but until I can justify $8k on builds I'll never shoot it's just gonna have to wait. The NSW is a MR just a long ass MR haha. I still believe if you could only own one rifle at all it would be a 15.1 NSW with a 1-8 ATACR. Pull the can off and you can move fast and light at close targets. Pop the can on and get hits out to 700. I never really stuck with the MR concept until J built his. While I never really was pumped on the MK6 that rig just did it for me. Every time I shot it I got the same hits as my other rigs and it was tiny. New cool mounts and rails are really badass but the OG GWOT style rails and mounts just make the look of a MR. I still have a few tweaks to make but if anyone wants to swap me their Tan M300 body for my M600 body hit me up! Trying to go a little shorter on the light. Also, a heads up to anyone that's planning on running a spikes adjustable block under a PRI. The front mounting bracket hits the gas block. I just noticed it when going though my rifle. I pulled that bracket off and snipped the front nut part off to secure the top rail at the muzzle. I guess you could modify the block if needed but those mounting brackets are pretty flimsy and easily replaced if you need to. |

But looking at all these MINI REECES with the FF Medium RAS, I just ordered myself one for my 6.8 SPC with an 11.3 Wilson Combat Barrel, that currently has a DD MFR XL Rail on that I would like to swap out. Currently rocking an EOTech XPS2 with a Vortex VMT Magnifier on it, but would like to get an LPVO for it. Any recommendations for an LPVO For 1,000 or under? Any 6.8 SPC II Options out there for an LPVO, or isn't 6.8 SPC similar enough to 556 that I can compensate the difference relatively easy for Bullet Drop and holdovers, or should I look at .308 Optics? |

Finalized my upper with new brake and gas block. Gave the barrel a deep clean to see what she can do with the new loads.

That barrel and rail, even though they are longer, still comes out to 4 oz less than the DD Mk18 barrel and rail on paper. Also, as soon as I have interest in that URX2 it looks like they are out of stock all over the web. This photo isn't helping my thought process... such a good looking upper combo. https://i.imgur.com/mXmqsdu.jpg View Quote This rifle is awesome. Ive got a BCM upper/ URX 2 that Ayan built a few years ago with an 11.5 barrel. Didn't realize when I took it in trade that the gas port is for suppressed only. Ive got a can but I like to be able to shoot unsuppressed too. Bore out the gas port or new, nicer barrel? Its waiting for permission from an unconstitutional agency for a stamp for a real stock. |
