Rock River Lower RR Lower Parts Kit w/ Two Stage NM trigger Magpul MIAD and Aluminum Trigger Guard Magpul CTR (Mil Spec Buffer Tube and Spring with H Buffer) Daniel Defense 16" Complete Carbine Upper w/ the DD Lite Rail 9.5 FSP Ion Bond BCM BCG EOTech 552 sitting on a LaRue Riser (LT 110) Troy Rear Folding BUIS MI Rail Sling Adapter Tango Down VFG and TD Panels Viking Tactics LaRue Padded Sling For some reason some of the images aren't working. Here is a link to the album.          I have a bipod but it isn't attached. Usually I run it w/o the VFG and instead I use a full sized TD panel on the bottom rail. I cut down the TD panel you see in the photos to fit the VFG. I started lurking in the summer, and had it done by Christmas. 3,000 rounds down the pipe so far and loving it! |
They don't make them in house. As far as I know they use Lothar Walther for their SPR models, but I never could find out who makes their carbine barrels. It's 4150 and chrome lined with 1/7 twist. They're also parkerized under the FSB. |
Sweet set up!
First and foremost, thanks for all the complements guys.
I like it quite a bit for the type of shooting I do, and plan to do. I'm not a big fan of shooting paper, and that's where I find I like it least, but it's great for plinking and even better for tactical shooting. Target acquisition is a breeze and reticle acquisition is instantaneous. The EOTech itself isn't perfect. The buttons work, but a knob (a la Aimpoint) gives better tactile feedback and quicker adjustments. I lucked out and got the 552 new for $320, otherwise I had planned to get the 512. My only gripe with the optic setup I have is that I planned to use the LaRue Poor Boy, but I found that pushing the EOTech and its mount forward upset the balance of the rifle. The balance problem and the extra weight of the Poor Boy made the rifle a bit too cumbersome. As it stands the rifle weighs in at 8lbs empty, and that's right where I'd like to keep it. The only additional accessory I plan on acquiring is a light and mount.
Oh yeah, and what a blast it is! I've put about 1000 rounds of Rem UMC 55 grain through it, 500 rounds of some HSM Factory New SS-109, and 1500 rounds of Barnaul 62 grain. This thing eats up brass cased ammo like it's going out of style. There are occasional hiccups with the lacquer coated Barnaul stuff - but the ammo is relatively cheap so I let it slide. |
