General Purpose AR - Okay, it's a Recce Now...

I like it. A LOT.

Thanks dude.

The more I shoot this middy the more it gives me warm tingly feelings in my nether regions... I shot a few drills today and the muzzle barely moves... just a slight rise. It's very controllable and very, very accurate from what I have seen. I need to get it out on a longer range to see what kind of performance that Sabre barrel might be capable of.

I am also kicking around the idea of having the barrel either fluted or turned down to lightweight config for the bulk of its length - I'd be happy to hear opinions pro or con on this option.

Looks pretty sweet! I really like it and am considering going in a similar direction with my Middy, but keeping the standard FSB and a G2 in Vikings mount.

What's the barrel contour currently?

Fluting is a waste of money. Having it turned down is definitely the way to go.

Unfortunately, no one makes a midlength, lightweight barrel that I like, and I'm a little leery of spending the kind of money that it would take to have them built to my satisfaction.

how are you activating that light? just flicking on with your hands? or are you planning to add a tape switch?

No tape switch, I hate them. Activates with support side thumb, no problem.

New config is similar to my primary GP and how I was essentially planning on setting up a Noveske Recce N4 if the tax man hadn't taken my budget.

I like the fixed front and rear BUIS with an Aimpoint as well, but I'm thinking I might do flipup in the rear just to be able to run a magnifier if I want to. I'll just run it in the "up" unless the magnifier is on the gun.

[Jay Cunningham]

I like the folding Troy rear with a fixed front myself, but I tried the fixed rear this time. With a lower third co-witness it's not really an issue - but I do like the rear folded down.

Looks good Bub!

Wish I had one of those ADM mounts--

Did you get another Vickers sling?

[Jay Cunningham]

Did you get another Vickers sling?

Yeah, I'm a real sucker - I bought the most expensive variant (I think)... the GrantHawk Tactical sewn-in QD pushbuttons and the padded sling. It works really well.

Hope someone gets you a nice ADM mount!
