While I didn't have my 15.1 long enough to get groups, it seemed very accurate. The biggest issue with Lilja is the extension, which can be polished, and the price given that it's not.

Im eying the new 15.1 recce fluted barrel from Craddock. Wouldn't one need to SBR it given it is below 16"?

I just got at 15.1" Craddock RTR intermediate barrel with their tapered gas block put together.  Now were near a "clone" so I'll save the pictures but I'll report back with groups with some of my hand loads.

77gr SMKs and 73gr Bergers. TAC for powder first then will try Varget.  Also have some ADI 69gr to test as well and will use to get the barrel fouled.

Is the 1.54" ultramount correct for gen 3 build?

Yep. But the 34mm is what you need for the ATACR.  

Also, have an unfired CLE Douglas 15.1” in the closet now that I got the Lilja combo…

Nice build. Definitely not front heavy

Used the NV at distance?

14.4 lbs loaded with 77 TMK and all the fixings. I’ll hike it a few times and get back to you.  I got the clip on yesterday so no distance yet, but I plan on using this rifle for song dogs and maybe GGG series if I get enough time one day. Once the clip on and Contour are off it’s the same as any other Dev Recce and balances well.

Nice. Love the fact that you’re down to use it, not just build then post pics.

Just picked up an FF RAS. Debating if I do a 15.1 Douglas, a craddock rtr, or take a 16 inch Noveske from a mod h ish and cut it down. Any feedback on which would be appreciated.

I vote for the Craddock, but I'm biased because I have one and I really like it.

I'm gonna get the  new style 15.1 craddock p&w. They and ae worked together on it I think.

Don't ruin a nice Douglas or noveske. Save them for dudes that want 16" for mod h/mk12.

Apologies for not getting a group done sooner.  I finally have ~300rnds down the barrel and the groups are starting to settle. Ran some IMI rzr 77 (`7+ yrs old manuf), Bone Frog 77 otm BT, and BH 77 otm through it today and the results are below.


AE M4 Recce 16" barrel and M4-Recce suppressor:
Shot 20rnds of IMI and then rested for 5 min as a warmup and check zero. Shot 5, rest for 5 min, then shot 5 for all three types for the groups. BH 77 did as it usually does.

IMI77 fps: AVG 2654.9 std dev 20.2
B.Frog77 fps: AVG 2701.2 std dev 18.1
BH77 fps: AVG 2731.1 std dev 13.3

I've got the 15.1 Lilja, I've been running a Daniel Defense RIS III so I have the AE Mod 1-DD collar.

I FINALLY got around to ordering a FF RAS, so I have a question... Is the correct collar for the RAS setup the good ole regular Mod 1?

The regular SPR collar will flush the AEM5 to a FF RAS Long and 15.1" barrel. It's not "correct" as the 15.1" was debunked as a custom can and collar on the 16" lilja barrel.

I still feel the 15.1" is a superior setup to that just due to the fact you can run it unsuppressed with a brake and the step is definitely better than loc tite and a dimple.
