    And that's how BRD progresses......I had a lone carbine gas tube in a drawer, for years, it eventually grew into a rifle. Seeds!

    Very nice. Can't wait to see what you guys did with it at extended range.

    I knew I should have bought a 20” barrel for mine. I bought the 13.5 SS barrel instead.

    Dumb question: Why the cantilever mount?

    I can see doing that if you want the scope mounted only to the upper receiver, and not the handguard, but in this case they're the same thing, right?

    Yes is the same thing, rail and upper receiver are one in the same. Monolithic. The mount is a Larue mount and at the time was the most robust mount you could get and QD.

    Just an FYI. I had a standard LMT stripped upper last year that had similar issues with various optic mounts. The worst was a Geissele Aimpoint micro mount. It was so tight that it removed anodizing from the upper attempting to mount it. I ended up getting a refund on that upper as it was out of spec in a few different areas.

    Yours may not necessarily be out of spec, but tolerance stacking between the two could be the culprit.

    That is very interesting. You probably nailed it. I have a brobo Mount I'm going to try today.

    My New MWS

    That’s a nice setup. What loads are you running? Took me awhile to find a round that I consider acceptable in my 16” CL MWS barrel.

    FGMM 168 and 175's do nicely. I've run cheap 147 g MEN and got 1.5-2.0 MOA for .60 per round. H TAP is great. I had another barrel that was not as accurate, I couldn't get MOA consistently out of it. I was lucky and a Buddy gave me his 308 barrel b/c he went full 6.5 on his MWS. The barrel that came with the gun was so so.

    What are you shooting?
