I have yet to get this rifle to the range yet, have the ammo and the time now so I will soon have a report and pictures of the groups + load data.
My concept for the rifle is fixed stock rifle for range and hunting use. My wife likes the A-1 stock over the carbine ones and this will be her main deer rifle. The 20" barrel will give her more velocity than the 16" or 18" tubes. I used to shy away from this barrel length for deer hunting as the traditional cup/core bullets started to give me rapid expansion and shallow penetration. With the new bonded 62-64 gr bullets that problem no longer raises its ugly head.
The 2X7 Khales fits the rifle well and the glass is very clear. I have tried many scopes on AR-15's over the years and the 2X7 adjustables seem to fill my needs best with a 5.56 Rifle. The Khales is a take off from my Kreighoff Drilling and needed a home, it is expensive for the rifle but it is better on the AR-15 than in the bottom of the gun safe. Plus I do not want the wife to blame the scope if she misses! Probably blame my reloading skills any way.
The ALG MLOCK rail is great!, I have it on all 3 of my rifles and love the ability to go light or add some options if needed.
On the BCM BLEM, I had to use the heat gun to get the barrel to slip into the upper, not difficult but just an added step you will need to do if you buy one of these at the BCM Site.
