Thinking ALG 10", as the 12" may be a hair too long. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheManimal: @ProfessorHorseyhead ALG clearance rails are back in stock. Last I checked, the V2 Keymod 10" is in stock. There's always the V0-E if you just want a good, cheap, bare bones handguard. I'm trying to have 3 more rifles done before the end of the year (1 for each of my children) and I'm going to try to snag some of the V2X's in 12" for the 13.7" barreled uppers I'm planning for them. I have builds that need optics, but family first It'll be nice for each child to get a mini recce for their 18th birthday. Fingers crossed for my boys to be mature enough by then.
Here it is as it sits with the bogarted rail from another rifle.

He'll need three dimensions off your barrel. It used to be a stocked item until barrel makers started going all over the place with the dimensions on the first step. He will charge you around $40 for it. This is a BA 12.5 w/ aem5

Thanks for that info. That’s about what I was expecting. Looking at pictures of the ba 12.5 online the step in the barrel looks pretty small. Wasn’t sure it was enough to index a collar on.

Very nice rifles here.
Put this upper together several nights ago, but it'll eventually go on a lower I built for a pistol. Until then, it's on my registered lower. Not sure what kind of optic to put on it. I've always used non magnified for 12.5 and under. This is 10.5... but I'm really wanting to go with a 1-6. Is that too much, you guys think?

A 3X will allow you to make any shot you could possibly be contemplating on a 10.5". A 1-4 would be overkill, and 6X is totally unrealistic. Shoot in the dark with a Aimpoint and then the 1-6 in a room to room clearing or home defense situation. Beautiful rifle for sure, fantastic job. |

A 1-6 would be fine on your 10.5 provided you have the data available to take advantage of the extra magnification. |

Looking through this thread makes my head spin--so many great builds. What barrel would be your recommendation for someone building a mini Recce? I'm looking for 11.5 to 12.5," as accurate as possible, and will be suppressed. I'd prefer black, and not shiny SS.
Thanks |
