I built one. 16.5”-ish rifle gas Craddock RTR 6ARC that they profiled and mounted the Allegheny 0.88” or 1.0” tapered gas block on. 30 cal AEM brake, custom AEM5-6.5 bore.

Happy with it, but it definitely benefits from a BRT reduced gas tube.

Has anyone ever had an issue with their AEM5 or OCM5 sticking to the collar to the point that when you unscrewed it, it spun the collar and gouged the barrel? Or am I retarded and overtightened my can?

Once.  Red loctite under the collar, and now I'm careful not to tighten it much more than snug.   No issues since.

I have a couple rifles that the set screw loosened up and the collar just kind of floats around on the barrel. I dont shoot them without the can and the step in the barrel holds them in place when the can is on.

Ive also heard an old myth that the set screw affects accuracy.

H out to 800m today.

The credo turrets are complete trash but otherwise it's a great optic for an H. Can hold out to 800m with the reticle.

Just wish there was an optic that checked all the boxes the credo does with better turrets.

I know you hate it but you need a MK5.


No other Precision AR I've owned has been this far out so consistently.


Hits at 1000m and 5 for 5 rapid fire at 800m

This rifle fucks.

I don't think I ever got any impacts at 1000m with my Mod 1. NSW Recce got 800m a few times but never consistent like the H with MK5.

My friend with the Mod 1 was only .2 mil flatter than me out to 1000m. Both shooting pretty hot hand loads. He had about 70fps on me shooting 77's while I was shooting 75's.

Once I switched to factory AAC 77's shit got ugly and couldn't impact past 800m and even 800m was not as consistent. Used the chrono and the ES was almost 100 and velocity was 2644 vs my hand load which was 2690 and es is about 20-25.

Gonna save those for a different rifle and load up more 75's.

Barrel is a bison.

MK5 really is trash. If you’re doing a restomod and that’s your ballpark budget and desired magnification range, do yourself a favor and grab a NX8 2.5-20 MIL-XT instead.

Define trash? This is my third one and never had an issue.

Putting this on the H has extended my range and ability to call my misses at ranges past 600m where there is basically no back stop so splash is hard to find.

Adjust the diopter correctly and run it on 16x. Eyebox is fine. No CA on the three I've owned. It's light. It's compact. Turrets are great. Glass is great.

Only downside is it's a little toilet paper tube feeling on max mag but what do you expect out of such a compact 18x optic.

First time shooting the Mod H, nothing special about the build, I must admit shooting it seemed very pleasant, even with the ace stock, was very pleasantly surprised. BA barrel so nothing to write home about with regards the group size, about a moa with black hills 262 and their tmks

Lol, have an old braceman lower I need to finish up, then decide on a barrel option for her,,
Nothing wrong with the ba,  but  kinda pales in comparison to some others I have. I wonder if the new owners of WOA would consider doing a run of 16inch Douglas with the correct barrel profile, something that actually mirrors the original spec barrelsand hate to say it not like the current Noveske offerings which seem off.

I had a BA in mine that wouldn't group for shit. The only saving grace of that barrel is that it shot bulk ammo just as well as match.

Figured I'd bring this thread back to life with a question for those in the know. I'm looking to resurrect my Mod H. Does anybody know what readily accessible spray paint is the closest match to the factory PRI FDE forearm? Mine is the natural version (with some OD stripes at the moment). I'll post a photo once it's back together (unless everyone moved on from the H, lol).
Thanks in advance..
