Again Jeff, beautiful rifle.
Jeff,
How is that small ACOG working for you?
I just recently received the Trijicon TA33-8 ACOG for T&E.
I haven't been able to get any rounds down range with it yet because I'm still on the mend from shoulder surgery. Hoping the Doc will release me to start shooting long guns when I see him again in mid-January. (See the AAR of Larry Vickers' September 2008 Colorado class for details in the Training Course Announcements & AAR's forum)
My "out of the box" impression has changed now that I've mounted the TA33 on a gun and done some side by side dry fire drills with both the TA11 and the TA33.
Dry fire drills may give you some insight as to an optic's strong points or expose weaknesses. Dry fire drills don't always replicate how something will perform when you are sending rounds down range, from unconventional positions, while being timed.
I'm liking what I see so far, but the jury is still out until I get some quality trigger time on the TA33.
S/F,
Jeff
Jeff, Who makes that stainless barrel? I'm thinking on one without a fsb/holes so I can add a gas block and rail.
Heck, I would like to get a BCM middy chromed w/o the fsb/holes for that matter.

Mark,
It's a Bravo Company Stainless Mid-Length barrel. They are not offered with the front sight housing (as shown in the pic on page 6). They come as a bare barrel or you can order it with one of the gas blocks that Bravo Company offers. Here are the specs on the barrel....
This BCM stripped barrel is machined from a 410 stainless steel. It features hand lapped button rifling with a 1/8 twist rate and M4 feedramps. As with all BCM barrels it is proofed (HPT) and magnetic particle inspected (MPI). To give the shooter the best balance of weight and accuracy this BCM Recce barrel has a mid weight profile and a mid length gas system.
(410 stainless is a harder and more corrosion resistant than the conventional 416 stainless found in most barrels.)

My Bravo Company Stainless mid-length and Noveske are identical.....the Bravo Company mid-length is less than 4 oz heavier than the Noveske N4 mid-length:

I like it! I will keep those in mind for a future build.
