Later down the road, I think I'll take a similar approach to the MWS 308, also using the AXTS ambi-lower, but using a good variable power scope for ranges of 100-600 yards. I'm planning on starting off with two twin short-barrel CQB MRP's with the following purpose/goals in mind:
Purpose of Rifle: Home-Defense & Carbine class training rifle built with parts to achieve the following goals:
1. Reliability/Durability: Under suppressed and unsuppressed use with a range of ammo.
2. Versatility: To allow weak-side & strong-side use, as well as inside & outside use from 0 - 100 yards
3. Complete User-Serviceability: To allow the ability to replace, inspect, and maintain every part of the rifle myself.
4. Control-ability: A low and smooth recoil impulse under suppressed & unsuppressed use allowing ease of keeping sight-on-target during firing, and quick target transitions.
Parts - Upper:
- Receiver = CQB length MRP
- Barrel = 14.5" cut back to 11.5" while retaining original gas-port diameter - Either fluted or dimpled to save a little bit of weight...MRP's are kinda piggy. - BCG = LMT enhanced carrier with Colt bolt - BUIS = Troy Battle-sights
- Charging Handle = AXTS/Rainier Raptor Ambi.
- Optic = Aimpoint T1 on Larue QD absolute co-wit mount/ Aimpoint magnifier
- Light = Surefire Mini-Scout in Gear Sector Offset mount at 11:00
- Muzzle Device = AAC blackout/M4-2000
Parts - Lower:
- Receiver = AXTS AX556 w/ BAD-CASS Short throw Ambi-Safety
- Buffer System = Vltor A5
- FCG = Geissele SD3G
- Stock = Magpul CTR
- Grip = BCM Gunfighter
- Sling = Magpul MS3 w/Noveske QD end-plate.
So there it is. I plan on making twins of this rifle as it will be my training gun and I really want an identical back-up. Feel free to make suggestions or tell me if anything here looks stupid. I realize that goofing with non-standard gas-porting has potential to cause issues, especially with lower-powered ammo...but if I can't achieve a cleaner running, soft shooting rifle without sacrificing reliability, I'll just have the gas-ports opened up to the standard for 11.5" barrels.
You're doing it right.
We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
