18" SPR Build, input requested.

[BradMacc82]

I know which BCG that is. They're nice.

I thought about waiting for the one they've been advertising, but those are still a few weeks out.

Got to fondle the development mule and shoot the shit with the co-founder for a little while, good people.

Speaking of good bcgs., do you, BradMac or anyone else here know of any supplier who sells a decent bcg unassembled? I'd much rather install the gas key my self. Sorry for the derailment here, you guys just got me thinking...

 

[BradMacc82]

Brownells, BCM, Midway - quite a few vendors offer stripped BCG's.

Thanks I didn't realize that.

 

[BradMacc82]

No prob, plenty of options out there.

Hm, any concerns of overgassing with that LaRue 18" and mid-length gas?

Gas port is .060", so I wouldn't expect any issues normally.

Seeing as how I'm going adjustable gas (for future suppressor use) this time around, I really doubt there'll be any over-gassing concerns.

I've built and shot plenty of 16" with mid-length gas setups, and they always ran well, no visible signs of over-gassing.

Not all that concerned about overgassing as I measured the gas port at around that size as well: 1/16th drill bit dropped in, next biggest size I had did not (IIRC, 5/64, but I forget). I had recently read some less than optimal words about these barrels and wanted to see what others' experiences were.

I didn't spring for adjustable gas with this barrel, but probably should have given I too will suppress.

If it ends up being a problem child, there'll be no hesitation from me on calling it out.

 

[BradMacc82]

Just need a hand-guard/rail and charging handle, and I'm in business.

I think I saw this thread and it put a bug in my ear to build an 18". Caught a small sale and just got in http://faxonfirearms.com/18-heavy-fluted-5-56-nato-rifle-length-416-r-stainless-steel-qpq-black-nitride/ For this one I am going to try out a Vltor A5 Buffer.

Heck, for less money I'd look into the JP rifles silent spring setups.

 

[BradMacc82]

Minus optic (have a temporary one on it currently), it is done.

I'll post a pic and details tomorrow, time to grab some shut eye.

I am only interested in the A5 Buffer and Buffer Tube which is around $100. Bravo company now makes an 8 position A5 buffer tube http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-Intermediate-Receiver-Extension-A5-Buffer-Tub-p/bcm-intermediate-re.htm

...for the shooter who needs more than 6 positions for their stock?

 

[BradMacc82]

Test fired, gas system adjusted. Just need to zero the backup scope.

Very nice!

Very nice indeed. Been thinking of putting together a spr myself and this thread is not helping !

 

[friendlyhippo]
