This is a Cavalry Arms lower with a Bushy light weight upper. The sling is an old CQB, now Spectre Gear. The rifle just plain shoots great. Handling is not really any different than a conventional weight rifle, but it does feel more like a "toy". It's great. |

Good example of the KISS principle. Two more questions 1) what size groups does it shoot with irons sights and 2) how's the flash suppressor work on a 16" ?

Not exactly KISS, but shoots moa at 100 yards. Also using a Bushy superlight barrel.

I dont have a scale, but considerably less than my hbar carbine. Where in Va are you, shoot me an IM. |

I'm getting MOA as well with 55 ball.
The FS is a Vortex and works superb. Hardly any illumination, but I do get a "twang" once a round heads downrange. I need to color coordinate like h8mtv. |

MOA with ball? Works for me! I thought that was a Vortex but wasn't sure. Glad to hear it does what its supposed to. I shot a friend's unsuppressed 16" and wondered why anyone would NOT want an fs on a short barrel. Then I shot a Bushy with a Y-comp and thought the flash was the lesser of 2 evils!

...maybe I'm not reading this right.. you do know that the Y-comp isn't a flash suppressor, right? And that flash suppressors don't enhance blast?

does the barrel on those super lights heat up fast?

That's two of us that are glad! Frankly, I was very worried about this project. MOA with ball in this set up is just plain luck. My other AR carbines generally run about 2"-3" when I'm on my game. The fit of the upper to the lower is tight. There's no finger push takedown on this baby.  The gun is just a riot to shoot. As reliable as it is, I still choose a standard lower for my duty weapon. You just can't replace that feeling of heft. |

Yes, but it doesnt seem to affect accuracy much. I shot it heavily one day and noticed the poi had changed, I resighted in, and its been right there ever since. |

Right. What I was trying to say was that my friend's 16" had neither a comp nor a FS, therefore it had quite a flash. However, when I shot the other 16" with the Y-comp, the blast was redirected somewhat for the comp effect and very pronounced to me (the shooter). Since muzzle rise doesn't seem much of an issue with semi-auto, I personally wouldn't go for the Y-comp. |
