    frommycolddeadhand,

    do you realy like your 1in8 barrel with the 77 gr bullets? Iam realy leaning for the barrel that Bravo Co. sells but the 1in8 is hanging me up.
    I think I will call him and ask why he chose tha tinstead of 1ni7.

    thanks all Scott

    Mines a JP, but I do have a BCM 410 SS 16inch too, I just haven't shot it as much. With out getting into a twist war on top of a MK12 discussion, I think that 1x8 is more than fine. (Conventional wisdom is that 1x7 is for longer tracer rounds- shoot many tracer rounds? I'm sure there is a post by Molon about 1x8 and 1x7 and stabilizing 75-77 rounds). I'd worry more about the quality of the barrel than the twist, IMHO.

    My JP just seems to like 77SMKs in 223 loads better than 75s in 556, I don't know why, and I have only done 20-30 rounds of each to get to that end point. If people were shooting back at me, I'd take the round with better terminal performance, since outside of a fully supported position, the difference in rounds accuracy will be slight.

    Had great fun at the magpul dynamics precision class. I tuned my 400 yard dope as I walked rounds to the 4 inch 'heart' on a sillhoutte target. Banged that door open, which only left a 1x4 inch reset exposed, and with my next shot hit that reset. Not saying I could hit the reset every shot, but I hit it that shot .



    The scope is a little much, it will eventually go on a .308 bolt gun. I like buying glass before the rifle, it is tough to skimp on a rifle, but there is always cheaper glass. Buy nice glass first and you won't put a crappy rifle under it. The BCM upper with VTAC TRX is in the background. It had a TA11 on it that I'm still getting used to. Seems like the zero moves around.

    That is a sexy rig for sure I bet that magpul precision class was a ton of fun.

    I agree the last thing we need is a twist war.....I will say that the more time passes the more I see the logical and in many cases the right choice for rolling with a 1/8th......The reason I find the 1/8ths more acceptable as time goes on is because although I wish I could shoot my beloved TAP T2s T1s and BH's mk 262 and 68gr. match hp every time out, its just too hard to come by consistantly for the fair price, thus making the 1/8th the more rational choice for any non-mil or le role...Imho, the 1/8ths will give you a much nicer range of ammo that groups great, just not those ultra sub groups that a 1/7 with a mk262 or Tap 75gr. hp round will do. Kinda a trade off.

    Current MRP SS barrels are 1/7ths like mine...however LMT first came out with their 2 tack driving SS MRP 5.56 barrel models in 1/8ths.....People love them and Edwin907 has one in the 18" SPR model and we have compared groups and ammo between the two and from what I can tell they both are exceptional shooters.

    You never miss the chance to do a little NF bashing...but your entitled to that opinion I guess....However MOST of us know your position and you do not need to insult the glass any further...the rimfire one takes the cake.


    I put it on there because I had the scope for sale, and had no interest on it even at a good price. Actually one guy emailed me about it, and asked about its low light performance because he had heard the NXS has poor low light capability. I was honest with him about my opinion, and never heard from him again.

    Since when is pointing out deficiencies in a scope or product bashing it? Im not the first person, and nor will I be the last who has bought a NF product who ended up being disappointed. In fact there is a thread in the optics forum where someone returned a NF scope because they didn't like it. I have no ill will towards NF but there are better products out there just like you said earlier in this thread...there are improvements to the issue kit with the Mk12.

    Well just ordered a UBR stock. It won't pull my beard like the CTR does. Got it for 220.00 NIB shipped. I have a Hi LUX CMR which is a really good scope for the money, but I want something better for this weapon. I'm going to hand load the ammo for this one also. Man I can hardly wait ti get this in. It will be here Tues. I gave 1071.00 for this upper. I could not have built it for that

    Congrats pal you will love the UBR and its perfect imho for your sweet new build. My favorite stock by far, and for any long railed gun I think its the ideal choice.

    My two newest builds SPR and Colt Socom with 14.5 heavy barrel


    I still haven't got everything I want for the SPR it's a piece of art still being worked on I blame you guys for me working on it though. I never should have started reading the post on SPRs
