Have an itch for a new build, and this one looks like it is it.
For those of you sporting CLE 15.1 barrels - what blank, what rifling, and what chamber? Is the $100 premium for a Kreiger or Bartlein worth it over the Douglas blank? I was thinking of the 15.1 Douglas 1/7 twist, CLE chamber, in black Duracoat. The Douglas barrels from PRI on my mod 1 and H shoot very well. Upper would be sent off to JT at Retro arms works for the build and p/w the AE flash hider. The only things i do not have for the build already is a barrel and glass. |

The only things i do not have for the build already is a barrel and glass. Lilja still makes the original NSWC Crane Navy SEAL barrel. Nominally a 16”, but you could have it cut back to 15.1 and rethreaded, but I’d hate to do that, because this is a true 1/2 MOA capable match barrel with match ammo. Lilja only makes benchrest quality barrels. 1:8, Wylde, hand lapped, true Recce profile, heavy under the handguard, .725” from the front of the gas block forward. Would look right with the KAC M4QD flash hider that mates with the period correct KAC NT4. |

Brand new BCM RECCE standard upper, first 300 rounds and the brass deflector is losing coating pretty quick. I have a 4 other rifles with way more rounds than that and the coating has held up better. Is this normal wear? I am using a Lantac M-spec BCG, Franklin Armory binary trigger with the longer buffer spring.

But the marks on your deflector is normal, its just brass from the cases ejecting, not wear on the anodizing. |

 PRI adjustable gas block isn't right, but got it with the barrel for $220. I just noticed the feedramps on the barrel extension aren't M4 cuts, so I need to find a proper upper. Might have to borrow one from another gun. I probably wont find the correct KAC scope rings for this build, so I bought some Leupold MK4 rings. I've been looking at the MFI rings, but the price makes me think it was imported. Medium FF RAS has been with USPS for almost 3 weeks. I'm starting to get worried. |

Finally found a 2.5-10x24 Nightforce. New in box, i guess it sat in the dudes safe since 2015.
last thing i need to do the actual build is the barrel. I'm about a month out on that since the glass wasn't exactly cheap. |

So idk why I didn’t realize this sooner, but, I had an OG kac uncle mikes sling mount on my recce. I was thinking about the timeline on the rifle I cloned and realized that more than likely it would have been qd. After looking at the sling mount I pulled the screw out and the stud dropped out the back side and looked in the hole and the channel was there for a qd loop. So now I have an OG qd mount!

Finally getting closer to completion. Got an optic inbound so the Micro Dot can go back to the Daryl Holland. Still have the Leupy Vari-X III 2.5-8 but can't seem to take it away from that rifle for some reason.
 Now I'm itching for a FF RAS long 16" NSW. Got everything but the barrel and optic. Optics always seem to be the crux of my projects. |

And I get it that a NSW SEAL Recce is not a Delta Recce. But, question for the group: Didn’t the true NSWC 16” Navy SEAL actually run straight .725 forward of the gas block, with no step and use a KAC M4QD muzzle device to mount the KAC NT4 can? |
