I'm going to try that light crimp. I just sat down a few hours ago with some horn 75bthps and 23.5 gr of Varget and got decent but not great accuracy out of a Superior Barrels 18"spr.

I made a thread trying to show the difference in my results from having a crimp, and not having one.

 You just cost me $1495.75! Hope ya'll can sleep well tonight.
I know I can't sleep, waitning for my MK12 Mod 3x to arrive. If you don't mind, I'm going to copy your upper but with a Trijicon 5-20x50, but add an AFG. $100 in Magpul XTM rail covers seems absurd  .

NobadySpecial your Nothing special looks pretty sweet to me.. Whats the barrel and how does it shoot?
Here is my almost finished SPR with a superior barrels 18" barrel and a borrowed lower and scope from one of my other builds. It shoots lights out with the 40gr vmax but not so great with the horn 75bthp's. I need some cash to try some 77gr sierra MK's.

Its a 1:7 WOA 18" SPR and with 75gr PPU it shoots way better than I can, lets just leave it at that.
 I will admit though, that the rifle doesn't look like that anymore, as of this morning. It is getting the full blown MK12 mod 0 treatment. So far it has the A2 stock and the ARMS SPR rail. |

That looks excellent pal Nice to see somebody else using my all time favorite barrel....it finally nudged my beloved 6520 pencil profile barrel as of the last 6 months or so. Edwin has a badass 1/8th, mine and I would imagine yours are the 1/7ths. This barrel has flat out spoiled me rotten given I show up and bring proper loads. Cool lower as well, those seekins are really eye catching and seem to be one of the more high quality billet lowers out there.
You have any plans for a trigger unit or you rolling with the stag single stage? |

I'm just waiting on a stupid Gas block that should be here this week to finish my build What kind of 7-10 shot groups are you guys getting at 100/200-300 yards with these rigs? I know there's a group thread in the Precision rifles forum but a lot of those aren't ARs. |

I know there's a group thread in the Precision rifles forum but a lot of those aren't ARs. Thanks pal, I am quite the fan of the UBR....it really is worth the coin imho considering you have such an overall adjustable stock that locks up in position as if it were an A2 fixed and its still the best cheekweld I have felt although the sopmod does tend to give one that buttery feeling
In terms of range and groups, sadly the majority of the time I go shooting these days...I go to a WMA area with a free range that is just to close and convenient to go anywhere else and the lil range is limited to only 125M. I should soon be able to finally get to a range with 600m so I can truly gauge the NF "V" ret. Check out this group from the TOS that imho is about as good as Ive seen in terms of distance and lead of steel with a SPR 18". LINK Try a simple ole woodburning gun for that stipling if you decide you want to try it or send me a mag or two and I would be happy to fire up the woodburner on a cpl. 20rd. pmags.....I can say for certain, it massively increased the grip on those xtm panels which imho are far from the best in terms of actual grip but you know they look good and all Look forward to seeing your new build pal and hopefully that gas block arrives sooner rather than later.

http://i36.tinypic.com/24fzhv9.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/5zfvrp.jpg Thank you for reminding me about the 55vmax's. I just ran a box of 250 of those through the bull barreled upper that I sold to fund the SPR. I got good accuracy from those, it was a 1/8 stainless RRA/Wilson varmint barrel.. |

Got a fancy new mount, and I picked up a fixed 6x scope for the mount. Thanks to Mark LaRue for the mount!
I'm not oing to lie, the scope would be considered a cheap "budget" scope, but its honestly the brightest, sharpest "cheap" scope I have every seen. I guess there really is something to a fixed scope is brighter.

-Superior arms lower
-Vltor A5 stock - which has more pins in it than hellraiser's head to be ban compliant, (as well as epoxy, a block between the tube and the buttpad - it's pretty much beyond permanent to be NJ legal)
-bob miller did a trigger job on the spikes battle trigger (he also did the barrel work, staked the BCG, and gave it a once over for reliability) -one of my 15rd NJ legal P-mags
-BCM extractor upgrade -Larue rail -Barrel is a 1/8 match SS from fulton armory, actual mfgr, unknown (I got it a while ago ), barrel is fluted, but not too deep, and cut down to 18.5in, with a special crown. It's pretty much got 2 recessed crowns on it
-RRA upper -SWFA super sniper 3-9x42 in a larue mount -Burris fastfire on the larue ring -DPMS BUIS
Oh, and my miller custom 1911 is on the bottom
