Very nice. Look forward to range report.

Awesome build! The WOA SPR is on my short list for a DMR build. Can’t wait for the range report.

Very nice build. I like the parts selection

Those WOA SPR barrels shoot lights out

20 round clips and an Atlas bi-pod.

20 round clips and an Atlas bi-pod.

Which Atlas do you recommend Markm? Also, do they attach to a small piece of PIC rail? They have so many damned options it is a bit confusing.

I have plenty of 20 round GI mags.

Zeroed it today.

On the positive side, the rifle functioned flawlessly, the scope is excellent, a bit tight on 18x but nothing I can't endure. Certainly not a shitty scope. I like the option to have Green or Red illuminated reticles and the glass is very clear.

Ejection was a bit forward, not much I can do about that except maybe change the extractor spring, but since it is a Sionics BCG, so not sure that would be of any value.

I am definitely not happy with the groups. The best I could manage out of the barrel was 1.5 MOA.

Not sure if it doesn’t like the three loads I tried, if I was off or if I need to try a new muzzle device.

The muzzle device was about a half turn away from where I like it so I crushed the washer a bit more than I care to usually.

Maybe my WOA expectations were too high?

This was the best group and I can normally shoot better. The others were between 1.8 and 2.0 MOA.

[Hammer_Man]

Maybe the barrel needs to break in? How tight did you make the muzzle device? I won’t tighten mine past 25 ft lbs to avoid any chance of accuracy degradation.

[HKGuns]

I didn't torque it, I just turned it until it was tight and aligned properly. The more I think about it the more I think it is the flash hider.

Did you go with the 1:7 or 1:8 twist SPR barrel? What loads did you shoot?
