AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[Kirk Freeman]

Speaking of optics, put Leupold on my LWRCI M6 today and got it zero'd. I like this I can co-witness BUIS if I need to. I had the rear sights up, think it helped me focus at longer ranges.

Not sure I'm a fan of a scout scope on an AR. I like scout rifles, but the practicality of them is pretty diminished more a curiosity.

The forward optic allows the shooter unblocked access to the greatest evil of the AR-15 that the shooter has--the charging handle. Also allows BUIS to co-witness with optic. The forward optic greatly assists me with lateral targets but I have trigger time on scouts and quasi-scouts.

I just don't like the eye box of a scout optic. Off axis unstable shots seem like they would be difficult. A true 1x in a qd replaces irons, and in the extreme case of the optic being destroyed 2 clips 2 flips removes the optic and deploys buis. I like scout rifles, but I like them as a novelty (until they ban semi autos). It's s fun use of a monolithic upper though.

Apparently my lower (and the rest of the goodies from Aero) arrived to my LGS this morning! If I actually get up at a reasonable hour (GF may coerce me promises of coffee and homemade corned beef hash from our favorite diner), then I should have everything I need to piece together the new build!

Pointless, but fun as hell

If you can hit the target with it, I wouldn't call it "pointless"...
Is that a 7.5"? Looks shorter than my 10.5". It's gotta be rather loud.

Yeah it's a rock river factory 7.5 upper. The carry handle upper is specifically made for the short bbl fsp. A real gem that I got lucky to find.

Would love to build a 300 blackout. Build an upper or buy a completed one.

Love the retro look. Must be a heavy sob but accurate for the time the starlight scopes were around. Im glad Night vision has come down in weight.

My Aero 308 build is complete, other than waiting on the scope and mount, which won't be here for another month or more.

Yep the starlight weighs around 6lbs and makes the gun 14 lbs, most of that 6lbs is off the side of the gun so it is even more awkward.

Here's a pew pew I put together



Spikes lower, BCM upper, Wilson Barrel. Chambered in 6.8SPC II, used it deer hunting in Kentucky last year and took at buck at 75 yards. DRT. Nice and light, about 6lbs unloaded w/magazine.

Scope is actually intended for a 6.5 Grendel Robinson XCR I hope to purchase later this year, but for the time being it does look nice on my L-dub.

And this time with the Scalarworks mount for the K16i:

Had a couple pistols out today
