Nice! :D

I'll be building the same upper next month - only difference is that I'll be going with a 551 Eo-Tech.

[QuietShootr]

That's hot.

[Derek_Connor]

Thanks fellas....i'll have more details to talk about it after i get to the range...with a decent camera

[Derek_Connor]

Damn one number apart, did you plan that :)
I got # 79 with a 7.5" upper as well

[KevinB]

Derek -- is that the Gun Gallery in JAX?
if so does Neil still have the FDE DD RISII?

[Derek_Connor]

yeah thats the gg - but I am not sure if neil still has that part. I have been out of town on business....

knowing the shop and time of year, smart money says no...

[STS]

Derek, look great man. You keep getting some of the nicest toys I have seen.

[edwin907]

Damn that's a mean looking AR.

[Derek_Connor]

thanks fellas, its truly an enjoyment to shoot it.

I recall a thread on AR15.com where MSTN (IIRC) posted sub-MOA groups from 100 yards. What has been your experience? I'm debating between going with a super-shortie like this AND a 16"-18" upper, or going for something a little longer like a Crusader 12.5".

[Derek_Connor]

I believe it. I don't have the $$$$ to shoot the amount of MK262 that Wes does :p, next time though I'll actually take the time to shoot some match ammo through it at 100 and post the results. But here are some pictures to illustrate its potential,no where near sub-moa, bu considering what I was doing, i think it can be dragged out of it.

At 50 yards, straight screwing around, some standing up, some with the elbow on the bench rapid fire:

At 100 yards, straight screwing around, same as above:

All with basic 55grain American Eagle ammo, and an aimpoint sighted in for 45 feet.

Who said 7.5 are worthless? [flame]

We couldn't take pictures of this, but there was a man hole cover 300meters out that we could consistently "ding" shot after shot, just by keeping the red-dot on top of the man hole cover...very easily done.

[Derek_Connor]

Had a chance to put this upper on a full auto lower. It initially burped, it was real dirty from the previous rounds I put through it. I put some more oil on the carrier, and she found her groove. We put 3 x 30round mags back to back through the upper without a problem. It was a real show stopper

We had an anniversary shoot today, a make shift shoot-house. The 7.5 shined :)

I forgot my sling today:mad: , but transitioning to my pistol with the 7.5 in the other was never a problem ;)

I think you may have sold me on the 7.5". Great rifle!
