    I don't mind bringing a bone headed mistake to the internet, maybe I helped someone out today. My main concern right now is getting the 16" back up and running with a rail. My dept went through the drmo process and got a bunch of Vietnam era m16's for patrol use. I was using the 16" for duty to avoid the Vietnam weapons.

    If I get this right, you took it off your duty weapon, and tried it out on the 11.5" to see how it would do, and this was the result? Or did I miss something along the way?

    If that is for your duty weapon, that is rough.

    warsports LVOA is the least recoil of any 556 gun I have ever shot. if I remember correctly it also runs a 12.5 inch midlength system. The BC/rail combo also contributes to the extreme light recoil

    Still that gas is going somewhere, IMO if that's your AR your playing with stupid. I just would not chance it personally but I still have use for my right hand, I'm married

    Op thanks for posting, I am glad you are also ok. The Noveske Pig directs the pressure outward so if I did run a setup like that I would be using that MD, and even then it would have to be on an SBR and if it benefitted my team in a CQC situation, otherwise I do not see an advantage to that MD or setup (tucking the MD like that)

    From the way I understand he has a personally owned 16" he was using for his duty weapon to avoid using the DRMO Vietnam era weapons supplied by his department.

    Re: I blew up my rail

    This was a build I had been playing with when I bought an 11.5" bcm barrel during the panic. I pieced it together with parts laying around and was waiting on a good deal on a 9" or 11" rail. My duty rifle is a 16" bcm upper I bought without rails and was using this rail on it until yesterday.

    Yeah this (pic of my BCM comp) hitting that Fortis may (obvuously did) do some damage:



    Nobody blow that statement out of proportion saying that I think it was just that comp that did it and if he'd used something else this wouldn't have happened.
