The amount of cantilever required for that optic is huge. What position do you put the stock at when shooting? Does the Geissele hyper extended mount give you enough or do you wish it was further forward? |

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone set it up that far forward. Mine was close to the castle nut and I typically shoot with the stock somewhere between all the way out to two clicks in.

Christmas night recce for critters. Threw the x300 off the g19 on there and worked well but going to get a dedicated rifle light. Have a m600 body and mount but need a head. Thinking Malkoff.

Help/Thoughts with a concept. And/or does anyone have pics of this setup? 14.5” SOCOM barrel with either a rifle length FF RAS or a 13” Geissele rail. Leupold 3.5-10, 3-9, or 2.5-8 MR/T optic. Preferably with a piggyback rds. Kind of like a 14.5” SAM-R or Mk12 Mod 1.

How many of you guys are doing things like trueing the face of your upper and using green Loctite on the barrel extension to bed the barrel? I figure if anyone is doing that it would be the guys trying to get 600 yards out of short barrels. I was just watching Criterion’s videos on “accurizing” the AR15 and trying to decide if I should buy the tools to do it or send my parts out to a shop.

I feel like this is akin to lapping scope rings, I dunno. This. While it will 100% not hurt accuracy. Getting to and past 600yd with the shorties is hindered by velocity and bullet choice. Not inherent accuracy. It's the wind that's going to have you missing your target. This is where velocity and BC come into play and help you buck the wind. |

Originally Posted By SDMF_Rebel: Winner winner Nothing beats a thermal fit barrel View Quote Agreed. BCM has become my go-to for most of my builds, but because they're undersized, the "truing" tool won't fit. For what it's worth, most of the non-BCM receivers that I have trued were nearly true from the factory, with only a slight variance (KAK, Aversion, & Aero Precision), so I'd expect BCM to be pretty dang close to true from the factory. I recently picked up a Wilson Combat Recon SR barrel that was the tightest non-thermal fit I've seen in a standard (Aero) receiver, so I can't imagine how tough that would have been to get into a BCM upper if I had to try. I trued that upper and used some Loctite 620 on that assembly. While I don't think either operation was necessary, I'm hoping the process will reduce any variables that might affect accuracy for my Recce-inspired build. Sometimes it's good to have one standard receiver and one thermal fit on hand so that you can put the barrel into the receiver where it will fit best. Some of the oversized barrel extensions (WOA comes to mind) might be troublesome with undersized receivers (like BCM). While these steps are not necessary, I'm learning that the process can increase the likelihood of getting a very capable rifle in the end. For a little extra time and not much cost, I think it's worth the trouble. |

So which scope would y’all pick? Vortex Razor 1-10 or Nighforce NX8? I have the first Vortex Razor 1-6 and I’m probably gonna sell it and buy a Steiner. It’s just too damn heavy.
