The accuracy on the ice arms stainless 6.75" barrel isn't all that great.  Approx 3-4" at 50yrds.  So I decided that a Aimpoint and KAC sights were not that necessary.  I picked up a set of DD fixed sights on the 4th and picked up a 3/8" riser used from the EE.

The mount is pretty damn solid and uses the large knob like the carry handles.  I have had a TRS25 laying around for awhile now so I figured why not.  I know it's not a Aimpoint T or H series sight, but this build was built for giggles anyway.

So here she is now:

You're sure the barrel is the problem for the group size?

I should add it's a 1/8 twist on a 6.75" barrel.  I have built quite a few ARs and know what I am doing when it comes to assembly.   I think it just doesn't have enough twist.

I've been told that there should be at least one twist for the barrel length. ie: 1/8 twist should be 8" barrel.

I completely agree.  I will be replacing this barrel with a 1/7 twist 7.5" barrel.

At the time I just wanted something REALLY loud and that made FIREBALLS and this barrel did both.  now I want little less of that and a little more accuracy.
