So here it is;


AMEETEC Lower
Larue Stealth Upper
Magpul PRS Stock
Larue 13.2" railed FF HG
LBC NM Carrier (Young Gen 1)
Lothar-Walther 22" Stainless Steel 6.5 Grendel barrel
CSS Grendel Bolt
PRI Gas Block
RRA 2 stage trigger. Soon to be replaced with another Gieselle
WOA 15 MOA scope rail (I would rather use a LT SPR type, but I need the 15 MOA cant to make sure I can get out to 1000 yards. The Scope is a few MOA short on adjustment
IOR 3-18x42 Tactical Scope w/ Illuminated MP8 Reticle
Standard CH with PRI big Latch
MSTN QC Brake custom cut and fit to my barrel by Randall at ar15barrels.com


I will probably be gunkoting the barrel and brake charcoal grey soon.

Myself I think.

I have some dark grey gunkote that I have used for lots of things with no problems.

My only concern is that this is a smooth stainless barrel, so I need to prep it somehow.

Haven't got to use it yet, but I have a 223 upper for this rifle also that wears a 2.5-10x42 non-illum MP8 that I really like.

It has very clear glass, very positive clicks on the adjustments, and I just really like the MP8 reticle.

For more reviews check Snipers Paradise, the 3-18x42 was spec'd by a guy over there named Flea (Verne is his real name) that has been a sniper instructor since the mid 70's.

Yup, there are a bunch of them out there, just not many as nice as mine..:D


A may be considering getting the barrel fluted though, I weighed this last night at it came it at 14.4 pounds. :eek: which is fairly common for a sniper rifle, but I wouldn't mind lossing a few pounds of metal.

I thought Mark had a scope mount with about 15MOA built in...

I didn't see it, and I know for sure he doesn't have the SPR w/ Cant, and 35mm rings.

It's an Ergo Tactical "Ambi" (http://www.ergogrips.net/item-detail.cfm?ID=4020&storeid=1&image=ergotact.gif&CFID=3291027&CFTOKEN=15263435), I don't like thumb shelves, but I like the thick palm swell.
