How long you reckon the Loctite will last?

That one worked fine for me also and was one that I recommended. Mine came with my rifle, though.

I have a Rifles Only cover for my Griffin Recce 7 but decided to get an Armageddon cover for it also. I have an AEM5 for a Mk12-inspired rifle that I also use on a Recce style rifle. Sort of an early-2000s SEAL Recon rifle. McKay M16A2 lower, older BCM upper, 16" mid-gas Douglas match barrel, KAC Rifle RAS, Tango Down BG17 grip, Mil-spec 6-position buffer tube w/8.5 oz. XH buffer and Wolff spring, B5 Enhanced SOPMOD stock, Colt M16 BCG, Colt parts kit, Colt ambi safety, KNS Precision hardened SS safety detent, AXTS Raptor ambi charging handle, Norgon ambi mag release, Magpul winter trigger guard, Geissele SSA trigger, KAC 600m rear sight, KAC M4 NSN front sight, Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x24mm Compact illuminated Mil-R scope in a Nightforce 20 MOA UniMount, Atlas PSR bipod w/A.R.M.S. #32 QD mount, Allen Engineering AEM5 w/Ops, Inc. 12th model muzzle brake and collar, and a vintage Surefire M951 with a Malkoff M61N LED drop in. The Recce 7 is shorter than the AEM5 (7.6" vs 8.8") but I think that Rifles Only cover may work for it, leaving the part over the barrel uncovered.

Fantastic. Good enough for me. Already ordered a suppressor cover and pouch.

Thank you guys. I'm very happy with how it's turned out. To think I joined here some six years ago with a WTB post for that Lite Rail. Now I just need to get out and shoot some more.

II think I'm going to get the Armageddon Gear SASS case. It's made to fit the Pelican 1720 which means it should fit in the 1750 with some room for harder stuff on the outside: ammunition, extra magazines, etc. This means I'll finally have to get my 1750 squared away

I'd like that It's definitely something I enjoyed. Might have to contact the local guys and see if they're still running any matches. It was so many years ago. Crazy how fast time has gone by.

Far away from Portland, thankfully. I used to shoot plates and IDPA at a local range this way. Nothing formal, just for fun. Then I started traveling a lot for work and got out of it. Wouldn't mind getting into it.

No competitive shooting. I'm in Acton.

In Maine also. Southern Maine.

Another handguard choice, this one is carbon fiber: https://lancer-systems.com/product/lch7-handguard/ Years ago, I wouldn't consider carbon fiber for a handguard but after installing and using a PRi handguard on my Mk12 inspired rifle, I think it's okay.

Saw a Midwest Industries "Combat Rail" and went to their website to see what was different from the SS rail that I have. It looks like Midwest Industries no longer offers AR-10 rails. That said, I can't tell what's different about the Combat Rail except it's offered in a minimum of 12.625" where the SS was available in 9" and it adds an aluminum anti-rotation block.

Any of you here?

Yes! Ended up using the Colt ambis on my more traditional, "clone-ish" builds. Still, the CASS is a solid piece of kit.

BAD parts are very good. Hope my criticism of the bolt catch in a large frame wasn't casting aspersions on their parts in general. I have a bunch of their CASS and a few other control parts. I think I ended installing the bolt stop in an AR-15. I just wish they offered "standard" safety levers for their CASS and ASS.

Also, I'm using the standard PMAGs (not the M118LR) and KAC magazines.

Nice. Thank you for that. I agree that ArmaLite mag release button is nothing special. I went with an Aero Precision button as it's taller. I'm using a Norgon ambidextrous release.

Hope it works for you. I did not like how it worked for me. Just didn't seem like there was enough purchase on the bolt face. I liked that the Badger EBC was machined.

What does the AR-15 style ramp look like? What was wrong with the ArmaLite part you got? The EBC I purchased was sold and packaged as SR-25 and AR-10 compatible. It has worked in my AR-10 thus far.

I really don't have any other specific plans for this rifle as far as modifications or additions. It has fully met my expectations and vision. I had intended to get an over the barrel suppressor and due to misunderstanding what the specifications meant, I sort of ended up with the Recce 7. Not a bad suppressor by any stretch, just not what I intended. I would love to get an Allen AE30 but that would require a new barrel profile or bespoke adapter and even then, it would be direct thread which is not what I want. Still might get one for my Remington 700 I've been working on for years and then just figure something out for the AR-10. Griffin made the RSTA OTB but it's been discontinued for years and I haven't seen one listed ever. The gas in the face is not bad but it could be better so I want to see what I can do there. I could try one of the gas mitigating charging handles mentioned in my previous post as that area seems to be where it puffs and snakes out the most. On the other hand, RTV and an attempt at modifying the one I have now costs little. Shooting wrong handed will always have a slight drawback firing suppressed. I have parts enough to put together another AR-10 sans barrel. Thought about making that one with a 20" barrel. Could do a M110 clone-ish type build with a takeoff barrel, BCG, and then find a suppressor. Then I might use the Mark 6 on that one and find a good 1x LPVO for this one. Not really too much else I'm thinking about.

Took some more pictures for you sickos: There's only one (or two): Scope: Mismarked parallax knob: Through the scope: Controls: Suppressor, front sight, bipod: Rear sight: Suppressor, sling mount, bipod: Quad rail:

Flying is always so much fun. Out of Boston, one agent was insistent that they have to "inspect" the firearms to ensure they're unloaded before I can sign the declarations and put them in the cases. I said that's not true but also know arguing with these types is useless so I asked how they want me to accomplish that, do they want to accompany me to another room out back, away from the public, etc. No, we can do it right here. My brother was making the trip with me and we exchange looks and he rolls his eyes and shakes his head. I'm like screw it, when is the next time I'll be able to pull out in the middle of Boston. I make quite a show of it so that the agent could feel okay about their responsibilities to ensure my M4, personal Recce, M1014, 700, various pistols were really unloaded. I know I shouldn't have, but I looked around at the reactions. Some were nodding their heads like hell yeah, bad ass. Most looked like they had the vapors and were going to faint right there.

I guess I never looked at the manufacturer of those things. They were ubiquitous.

Not yet. After getting the new Pelicans, the 1750 became less of a priority. Thing is will be finding the replacement latches. I've moved across the country, back to the US, twice in this area alone. I have a few smaller Hardigg cases and I like them The M.O.A.B. says it fits in the iM3200.

I'm going to find the latches and install them. Can't hurt.
