Hi everybody. I started rather unusual project and would like to get community opinion on it. The project is to build modular weapon system on the AR-15 base which will allow to solve any tactical/hunting task possible within limitation of AR-15 platform. For example 6.5 Grendel should allow sniping work out to 800-900 yards, and big bore caliber as 458 SOCOM or 440 Corbon will allow you to gather extra edge in CQB or large game hunting situations. Different types of accessories and hardware will optimize use in different situation. Heart of the project will be MGI Military Quick Barrel Change uppers – they will allow me to switch between different calibers/barrel lengths. Description of the project. 2 MGI uppers with pistol grip on 1 and QD Harris Bipod on another. 2 Bushmaster PreBan Lowers : 1) set up for precision work – 2 stage trigger at around 2 lbs, Panther Palm rest grip, some stock with configurable butplate/ check piece(maybe Medesha). 2) set up for CQB situations – Erogrip grip, 1 stage trigger at around 3-3.5 lbs, collapsible butstock(probably MagPul). Following set of barrels/bolts: - they all will have KKF pushrod gas system if it works with caliber 223 Ackley Improved 24” fluted/bead blasted, probably Krieger (1-9 twist), 223 AI 16” fluted/bead blasted, probably Krieger (1-9 twist) 6.5 Grendel - what ether Scott Medesha will suggest – 20-24” 7.62x39 – because I already have barrel and bolt. 1 Big Bore barrel - question – should it be 440 Corbon, 458 Socom or 50 Beowulf. Each barrel might have just a muzzle break or changeable MB/ flash hider. For Flash Hider I will use Phantom 5-2, for MB – what ether caliber dictates. Optics – I will have a set of IOR Tactical 4x14 and 1.1x4 with illuminated reticules, AimPoint and maybe Trijicon Accupoint 1.5x6, all in QD mounts (la Rue and ARMS) and all will switch aiming point between barrels based on the table of clicks. Questions: 1) Could I use rate recoil reducing buffer and if yes – which one. 2) Suggestions for a collapsible and especially sniper butt stock. 3) Choice of big bore caliber – pros and cons of any of them( maybe I should get 2 like 440 and 458 to cover different ends of spectrum) 4) Detachable backup sights 5) Any other accessories 6) Any other interesting calibers – maybe 5.45x39, 45 APC, etc…. 7) Any general suggestions, questions and critique is accepted |
