    Sure, lots of dealers will sell you the stock, but I think all McMillan stocks are special-order.

    Chandler made up the A-6 moniker, McMillan calls it the A1-3.

    My opinion is that the rifle is way way way over priced just so a few Marines can have a performance loss over their M40A3's. The Marines got it raw on this deal.

    Im still curious...18.5 barrel with suppressor....

    Pictures show a maritime operation, being on the ocean I'd imagine there is some wind to calculate, wouldn't a marksment want some more Velocity to help buck the wind?

    It's not a maritime op- they are shooting floating targets.

    ...with the suppressor in place, you will be getting that extra couple inches worth of velocity back.

    Nearly every suppressed weapon I have seen tested over a chrono has had a higher velocity than the same weapon unsuppressed using the same ammo.

    FWIW...

    Chandler claims that gun has a MV of 2500 FPS with M118LR (2450 w/ BH175) and the published MV for the M40 is 2670 - 2700 FPS. I don't think a suppressor will make up that deficit.

    Chandler also states that it has a maximum effective range of 1000yds. Which is right around where the M40A3 placed it's max range.

    The 2530fps is w/ suppressor on & M118LR.

    That doesn't seem right.
