I have been bitten by the recce bug and the build begins. I read through all 45 pages and have a few questions for the seasoned recce builders. From all the pictures I've seen, this is my build list so far:
Upper: Colt Keyhole or if I'm lucky, AF upper Rail: KAC FF RAS Long Barrel: This part I'm unsure of, I'm having a hard time picking a barrel from CLE. Can anyone suggest one company over the other for any reason? Bartlein, Kreiger, etc. Optic: Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x24 in NF 1.375 Ultralite rings. Ops inc brake and collar, CQD front, and an Atlas bipod. If I get a barrel cut to 15.1, then get the Ops brake pinned and welded, is the overall length at least 16"? Should I get the SPR/MK12 barrel or the Recon 16.1 from CLE? Does it even matter since it will be chopped anyway? |

View Quote The Lilja .223 M4 barrel with a BE Meyers would be easier since I can't get a can in my state anyway.. but were these barrels ever used with the KAC FF RAS long? Also does anyone have a line on a 2.5-10x24? Is the used market the only place for these now? |

I'm very strongly considering triggering Murphy's Law the hard way, and just buying some 1.5" Nightforce rings to use since these fucking unicorn ass old KAC 1.5" are impossible to find. I'm sure as soon as I buy some rings the right ones will pop up. Hell, I've even started thinking about using some 1.4" and trying to convince myself the margin of error trying to measure pixels would be fine.

Is $1517 for a new NXS 2.5-10x24 in Mil a good price? These are a bit hard to find..

For everyone that has a Wilcox MRDS mount, what is the thread pitch of the screws that you used to mount the Docter to the Wilcox?

I think the "riser" is the old school extruded scope mount that was modified.

@lancecriminal86
Weren’t you looking for some KAC rings? Some early Vero Beach ones just sold on the EE. Not sure about the height. Maybe you can talk to the buyer and work something out. ETA: I didn’t realize those weren’t the kind you were looking for. |
