That's a nice looking rifle! Congrats on your build.

Took the AR to the indoor range today to sight in the MBUS sights I put on a couple days back.
After getting it zeroed I decided to test both my ability and the difference between the point of impact suppressed and regular. The results are a bit odd. I fired a total of 10 shots on this test - 5 Normal and 5 with the can. Conditions: Distance: 25 meter indoor range Ammo: International .223 45 grain Frangible ammo (long story) Barrel: 1:8 16" Sights: MBUS Flip Up Position: Standing, shoulder fired, unsupported. Target: 1.2" ID Bull's Eye The normal shots are in green, and all in the center circle. I am still getting used to this Geissele SSA Trigger group which is fantastic. It walked around the bull's eye a bit, but measuring with my micrometers from the center of each hole, I have a 1.006" group un-suppressed and all in the bull's eye. The suppressed shots are in red. Admittedly, I pulled my last one and I knew I did. But the first four are all touching each other. But slightly high and right of my aimpoint. They in a 0.56" group - discounting the pulled shot. Not really sure how to measure that. I'm assuming that the added barrel weight on with the weapon from the suppressor helped me to stabilize my aim and tightened my group. Maybe...I don't know. Is this a typical difference between suppressed and non-suppressed shooting? Am I to expect this constant "high & right"? |

Well, that is a very nice rifle. Looks like you didn't spare any expense with the parts you put into it. Good job.
My only opinions: - Sweet upper receiver. Looks like the Vltor MUR1A - that YHM handguard looks kinda odd. I would've gone with a skinnier one like Noveske NSR or MidWest Industries Gen2 SS handguards, but that is personal choice from my own experiences. But if you like it, its fine. - Obviously the mag your using. Not sure what kind that is, but I always use Pmags and Lancers. As long as you don't have problems with them, then have at it. - Overall that would seem to be a heavy rifle. I know that UBR stock adds some weight, plus the longer rail and suppressor. For a 5.56 that probably weighs as much as a AR10. But I'm sure it is a solid rifle anyway. Have you weighed the entire rifle yet? |

I like it; but since you asked:
The painted letters are too much. The BAD lever causes more problems than it solves. You bought a MIAD and set it up like a MOE...which costs half as much. But, cool. Go shoot it. |

I have BAD levers on 4 of my ARs I have never had a problem with them and I am not sure why other people have problems with there's. Nice rig! How long did it take for the ATF approval on the suppresser?

I think you did a really nice job with the build.
The only things I would change are: 1) Can the BAD lever; I feel they get in the way and I've seen them bend in real world use. 2) I'm not a fan of the MBUS sights; I'd swap them out for LWRC or Troys.

One heck of an AR build - comments wanted.

The Form 4 approval was about 7 months. - luckily I was overseas for the majority of that time so my wait was, psychologically, less. Quote:
I'm with you on the sights. They aren't as good as I had anticipated. I may be swapping over to Troys... But I might try out the NEW Magpuls first. |
