Oh fuck, anon, I almost forgot, I put like 40-50 rounds through the 6.5 today too, you said you wanted a real report on it

It's nice, lil louder and a bit snappier than 5.56, but obviously a lot less then 7.62 also, probably closer to 5.56 on the middle ground for felt recoil. I could magdump with the colt 20 no issue too, so down-loaded 5.56 mags should be gtg

>>34429463
Suppressor companies maxed out their production capacity in the run up to the 41F rule change last year. The market has since collapsed, I'm sure Gemtech was a bargain, comparatively.

Eventually demand will return and the value of Gemtech will return to where it was before the 41F rule change announcement, or if the HPA act gets passed, suppressor demand will explode again, and permanently.

Either way, it's a pretty decent bet, if you've got the chips to place it.

I've been wanting to try one out, specifically now the closed tine. I've got a half ass block II I need a muzzle device for and was thinking about giving one a try.

I heard the regular Warcomp kind of pushed your muzzle to the side.

But you like it pretty well? Does it flash hide pretty well at night? Have you tried it at night with NV?

So far it feels good during rapid fire. I've only shot it at 70 yards so far so I cannot comment upon accuracy issues.

Regarding night, haven't tried it yet. I typically shoot with my suppressor at night though. Haven't tried it with NV yet either. I've only done 750 rounds on it thus far.

>>34429730
I've seen a few reports of accuracy issues vs bare muzzle on the net, not much but enough to raise an eyebrow. Closed tine warcomp looks pretty neat

Figured this is a good place to ask. Opinions on Faxon barrels, specifically their gunner profile? I want a lighter barrel, but this looks like the best if both govt. and pencil barrels in one.

No, it came dimpled for a three-screw gas block but mine is a two screw block so only one lines up. Larue Stealth. Silencerco Specwar 556.

>>34429780
Dimpling a barrel would be a good idea if you have a URX4, it's already annoying enough to stick a gas block in there without having to figure out alignment

>>34429795
Cheapshit wolf I got for like 25cpr. You already got most of the shit for the block I, do that then just get a 6.5 barrel and build whatever around that

I've got a Faxon gunner 14.5" pinned and welded with about 1k rounds through it. I like it, but I haven't shot groups with it yet, just steel. I also bought it as a "compromise" profile.

>>34429793
>3 cases in the air, bottom right of the pic

More shooting to be honest brother. For some people it can just take time. I find that focusing on my target, SA while firing and rifle control keeps my attention away from the flash/muzzle blast and helps me not blink/flinch.

>>34429803
Interesting, I'll start looking around for some accuracy reports. I'm not married to any product and given good info will gladly dump one for another.

>>34429835
What's the quality like? Also, do you have a pencil barrel to compare it too? I'm torn between a Faxon gunner or a BA pencil, and if the gunner is the superior profile, I have no qualms towards getting it.

I'm pretty new to this stuff so take with a grain of salt. Only been doing it a little over a year. With that being said I like it quite a bit. Much better than than a viper PST and an accupower imo. The "true" 1x w dot does well, doesn't wash out in the bright sun. Glass is good. My only gripe is the Illumination turrets are a little mushy.

I could be wrong but it seems like I read that it has the same quality of glass as the 1-5 but not the same turrets. Regardless, the turrets even if they aren't as nice still feel good to me. But again, I'm a newb.

I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy again and at the price point I don't anything else comes close. I'd put it up against any LPVO under $1000 probably

I haven't had a jizzley so I don't know those but they LOOK uncomfortable because of the cross shape, instead of a nice octagon like URX4.

URX4 is relatively light, the size is a little bigger than most skinny octagons (BCM, DD, MI, etc) but not fuckhueg like a quad rail. The finish seems to be pretty tough, I see no bare aluminum yet but I don't fap around innawoods with guns like some do. The finish is very very fine, pic related. Installation is annoying and stressful, but at least you only have to do it once (probably).

I will say that KAC has not adhered to M-Lok spec as far as wall thickness goes; I had a KDG Kinekt QD segment which would not snap tightly on because the URX4 was 0.0045" too thin. I spoke to KDG about it and of course they can't alter the design for thinner handguards. I spoke to KAC but that was a one sides hollar down an empty hallway so I was SOL and had to return the Kinekt. I think KAC just took their Keymod rail and cut it for M-Lok instead, without altering wall thickness to follow suit.

What about light weight optics like the Steiner 1-4x or the Trijicon 1-4x options? My XTR II is 21 ounces. That goes down to 14 with the Trijicon tritium option, and about 16-17 with the Steiner and Trijicon battery options.

Obviously the technology will get lighter with time, and I could get even lighter if I went to an Aero lightweight mount. I haven't done that because I don't think I am willing to give up my BUIS yet.

Reticles aren't really bright enough. They are not dim, but bright is a stretch. All memeing aside, optically they are totally fine, but the reticle brightness is what makes the best lpvo the best.

What we need is a 1-6/8/10, weighs in at 14-16oz, second focal plane (brighter reticles, reticle ranging and consistent standoffs is dildos on an lpvo), that has at least a center dot that's as bright as an aimpoint at like 8 at least. Battery life would be nice too.

I would be willing to give up 1x of magnification for a light weight, rugged, and well illuminated 1-4 that has an eyebox as generous as the XTR- II. The XTR II has a very forgiving eyebox and at 1x feels exactly like a red dot and is one of the reasons that I chose it.

I actually don't mind the battery life being only like 40 hours or whatever if the reticle is etched. I like having the illumination, but if my battery is dead and I lost the spare in my grip, well then shit I still have a reticle.

>>34430360
Good

I ordered a Geissle MK8, a KAW linear comp, and a ballistic advantage 16in midlength barrel. My wallet hurts, but the Gucci is going to be worth it.

how does a hard drive die?

>>34430396
It happens to every hard drive on a long enough timeline, famalam.

>>34430362
I've shot the vortex and kahles 1-6x options, those are considered to be the brightest. Both of them are bright enough to cut it, but barely, imo

>>34430402
but how

>>34430404

I think they are better than a red dot truth be told. With or without illumination I find myself searching for a little itty bitty dot more than I do for the big horse shoes.

>>34430407
A lot of the time the actuator arm motor dies and the drive is unable to read or write. You can do a platter swap but its very precarious

>>34430407
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_failure

>>34430407
The motor can wear out. Other moving parts can shit the bed.
It's more prone to break if you move it around while it's running or drop it, obviously.
The data on the drive will still technically be there.

>>34430396
The same way credit scores do

>>34430396
>>34430407
It happens when you abuse your computer by smacking it every time you die in a video game and then ignore the loud sputtering buzzing and sluggish performance the drive exhibits for months and months until finally it dies a tortured, ignored death.

Really it takes a high level of incompetence.

3x. It's good for a budget ACOG ripoff.

It wasn't that much shit. A light pack. I packed for two days, even though the plan was just one.

>>34430504
first AR?

>>34430521

If I could take 4 ounces off right now and lose only 1x of magnification, I would do it in a heartbeat. If you want a low power variable, then you really don't need more than 4x to me, with the current weight limitations.

If you want more than 4x, then the weight complaints go out the window.

>>34430527
Let's say so. Speaking in hypotheticals, but I'd like a new build in that price range for an every day rifle. I sold my first and only AR three years ago

A 1-6 at 17 ounces wouldn't be bad at all for me.

Is that the Kahles?

And I want to see the weight keep going down on 1-6s. More magnification isn't bad but 1-6 is really what I want on a 5.56 rifle. Obviously with the weight reductions in 1-6s then 1-8s won't be far behind.

>>34430605
Aero OEM is probably best value on the market atm, it's a patrician value purchase. 16" BA midlength barrel (BA owned by Aero and makes their barrels)

Geissele because ease of installation and removal, serious construction

MBUS Pro because buy once use forever. They're great quality and low profile

Stock, I say buy a CTR or B5 bravo and be done with it.

>>34430548
I don't like A2s for "every day rifle" because I think the civilian market is smarter than a government profile barrel, I don't like a finger groove grip, I like aftermarket trigger guards, and I fit an A1 length or MOE length stock better, but I do like A2 sights. If you like A2 furniture and government profile barrels though, by all means, make an A2.

Thing is, an A2 is a cheap rifle to build, especially if you aren't worried about roll marks. You can meet the A2 milspec for under 500 if you pay to have someone taper pin your FSB instead of buying the tools to DIY it.

If you've got a can, I'd do a dissipator, cans on 20 inch guns are kinda annoying.

But either way, you can fit a .22 LR clone of your 5.56 upper into the budget, and I do recommend that.

Handfuns are bad

>>34432829
Mount isn't qd, what's the point. It's a tablegun anyway

What grip should I get? I like the AK style of grips.

a1 grip

Wut 13.5 free-float should I get. I kinda like the looks of diamondheads vrs-t
