Cool. I dont think he would have made them shorter than 24 if so many people didnt ask. Lol. Once you get it out to the range, i think you will appreciate the shooting experience of the new bipod and the 20” barrel, more than a shorter barrel. Its fun having an AR that really feels like a different weapons system. They are also fun to clamp into a tripod, on supersafe mode. :-) |

Considering his involvement with One Shepherd, I have to think that was also a big factor. The 20” for sure runs better with blanks from what I have been told. However, i have seen the 24” run blanks fine. Its actually the upper from the online burn down video. It was given to someone I know. I think its pictured on a prior page here. Somehow it was mailed back and ran fine without doing anything to it…… lol. I make my own blanks tuned to my rifle. |

Yeah this will shoot a lot different than my ARs. It'll be a fun shooter and probably really accurate too. Got the furniture, BCG, CH, and D60 in yesterday. Hopefully FFL calls me about the lower today. |

They're nice for any rifle, but will be especially helpful on these setups. They also make an lmg version with burn resistant front section. Not sure it's necessary, but might be good to have for suppressed setups. https://www.blueforcegear.com/vickers-combat-applications-sling-m249-saw-sling.html |

Good enough if you intend to carry and deploy like an MG. |

I had actually previously bought one for suppressed shooting but hadn't used it on anything yet, so I'll be putting it on this setup. Today marks 2 weeks since order placed, so hopefully I get my klein shipping notice next week. |

I took that upper apart recently and plan to build it back with a Geissele handguard. I'll post it up when I'm finished. |

Attached File No shipping notice, it just showed up yesterday. This thing is sweet. I’m getting 10.5 lbs with no mag or suppressor. 12.5 as pictured with no ammo. Bipod is long enough for 40 rounders to work from the prone. |

I will see him this weekend, if anyone has any questions for Klein, i can try to remember to ask while we are working on something else. |

And yes they do. With the legs fully extended I can cant the rifle while prone to switch at 40rd pmags and 60rd drums without any additional maneuvering of the rifle |

I was finally able to shoot mine this weekend. Noticed some bolt binding upon charging it when I got everything in so I stopped and got some washers for the buffer tube. Once I got the gas adjusted it worked great. I ended up getting an acog from the EE because I knew I'd want more magnification than that 2x I had. But yeah, it's awesome. The D60s are a pain in the ass to load compared to 40s, so I think I prefer those. |

Originally Posted By WillieTangoFox: What was binding? Where do the washers go? Do you have an frt in it? Bolt carrier. It has a SS. I read this is a common issue and fix with the SS. Not sure if it's something that happens with other FRTs. Washers go down the buffer tube to prevent the BCG from going as far back. I didn't even try shooting it without. I noticed it binding just while manually charging it. |

I didn't even try shooting it without. I noticed it binding just while manually charging it. Copy that. Was wondering if it was a SS issue. My reset arm bent, and I think it was binding between the upper and BCG. Odd thing is that it took 500 rounds to start happening. Atrius wants me to mill out material on the upper…… i guess I will when my replacement frt comes. Look for rub marks. Attached File |

Not sure if that's relevant for the Atrius or not but it sounds like a similar issue. I didn't shoot a ton of rounds but I'll keep an eye out for wear marks on the upper. I've also heard of people shaving some material off the SS reset arm. |

Attached File Ok 03RN got me with the $60 1/7 mid heavy barrel, turns out it's a Delton from their factory close out. Seems pretty well made. I'll be running the Atrius in a new PSA lower w Spikes T3 everything else is extra parts or cheap Expo/NBS parts ( save a Colt BCG ) figuring on breaking everything I have an extra 2.5 micro prism to try or I might try and score another Eotech/magnifier for it, not sure how the micro prism is fairing on these builds. Thanks for the cool ideas, I'll report back with my pile of parts |
