You CRACK ME UP, BROTHER!!!!

Nope, it's too short, in length. Well, you could mount it, it's just picatinny rail. But the Large Frame receiver is longer, and it would look quite odd.

Both of you... Nasty...

Standard AR15 rear sight will work just fine.

Yes, easily. Done it on mine.

I chased muzzle velocity for many years. Get the fastest. All I did was damage brass, to the point that I couldn't reload it... Chase the fast ones. Go for it. You'll come back around, eventually.

I just ran a LaRue 16" 6 ARC gun during a competition. That little thing scored the 3rd fasted time, on the timed stage, out of 59 people shooting that day. 10 targets, 20-round limit in the mags, 90 seconds per stage. 3rd fastest time on that stage. From a 16" barrel. It's an accurate gun. 10 targets, I shot 10 times, and had 10 hits. Done. OUT. Thanks for playing. Glad to be here. Longest range to target this month was 655 yards. Short guns can do it, and run range. Long range. If they're accurate guns. Barrel length, velocity - whatever. Make an accurate gun. I've run my 12.5" barreled 6.5 Grendel gun to 850 yards, with a Leupold 4x scope, dialing 10.6 mils of drop, for that load. Speed doesn't really matter. Accuracy is what really matters. Build an accurate gun.

Buy this book. Read it. Then read it 17 more times. You'll gain a real appreciation for External Ballistics.

This is the "KILLER" killer, right here. All the hunting mags (when real, print magazines were a thing) always told you that you needed 1000 ft-lbs of energy to kill something. That's complete bullshiit, right there on it's face - but everyone hangs on to that number. I've stated it numerous times. Right here. Projectile selection, Maximum Point Blank Range (MPBR), and accurate dope - I can kill anything within my MPBR without a hold over - dead hold. After that, I need to dial, for longer distances - or just simply hold-over, if I know my dope for the gun. Just weaponize math, man - that all it is. It's nothing more than math, and knowing what you're doing at distance, once you understand that.

What are you chasing? What's you goal for this gun? That needs to be answered first. What you want this gun to do for you...

I still want your hot sister, but I'll risk it and take your crazy sister in trade; I'm just sayin'...

All depends on projectile weight, and muzzle velocity. My .260 is running 147s at 2650fps. That barrel will live forever. If I decided on some crazy 95gr V-Max lightweight projectile, and bumped the muzzle velocity to 3200 fps, then I'll just kill barrels faster. I run 123s in the Grendels, 147s in the .260, 108s in the 6 ARCs, 178s for the .308 guns, and I'm starting up with 175s for the 7mm-08. I load heavy, because heavy goes a long way, better than lightweight projectiles do. I live in the desert, so "long shots" mean something different out here.

All that doesn't mean shiit. An accurate gun is an accurate gun. Get the muzzle velocity, make a dope chart, and it's still an accurate gun, with a shorter barrel. I try not to build anything with a barrel that's longer than 18". That barrel length, to me, is perfect, and you never need any more, IMHO. I didn't have a choice with my .260 Rem gun, and that thing is a 20" barrel. Oh well, still works great - just wish it was an 18" barrel. Being 20", and my muzzle velocity, it's 1500 yards supersonic. My 16" LaRue 6 ARC upper, with the handload for it moving 2649fps with the 108 ELD-M projectile - that thing is supersonic to 1075 yards - from a 16" barrel, small-frame AR. Drops just below supersonic right before 1100 yards. From a 16" small-frame gun. Is it accurate? Fuk yeah it is. First run out, break in, zero the scope at 100, and then run it right away - run it to 425 on a flower target (those things suck to hit), then run it to 900 yards on full-size steel. Accurate guns are accurate guns. Barrel length does not dictate whether a gun will be accurate. Which leads me to - How FAR do you want this gun to go, and can you do that distance? My Win Mag does a mile, with a 26" barrel - but it would still do that with a 20" barrel. I just don't want to send the whole gun off somewhere, just to get the barrel cut down. If I could do it close to here, and fast, then I'd do it. I know one guy that could do it - but it might take him 2 years to get it done. Not worth it to me. Don't get hung up on barrel length and velocity - just build an accurate gun. Barrel length doesn't really matter, for an accurate gun. But then - what are your expectations for this gun? How far do you want to make a poke with it??

THEN!... Send it to Kate! RE-gift it, you uptight bastard! She'll eat the chocolate dick, or the assholes, or whatever chocolate. She won't care what the shape is, because she's not as cranky as you, ya old fuqr...

Well, the pic was "Resistance Is Futile"... after that, those two fuckers just went off...

I'm one of very few guys down here in AZ that can carb-sync one of those bikes. I've worked on them extensively, and in turn, ridden the FUK out of them to make sure I did a good job syncing them... Been a Honda Red Level Tech (Certified Technician) since 2008.

That really was outstanding shooting - but there's no way that I CAN'T fuk with you...

My honest, no-bullshiit suggest is - leave it alone. Don't fuk with it, then.

@TeddyBro, We're going to need THIS LEVEL of information. Brace yourself, soundly, because YOU are the one that's gonna have to provide it. Read this thread - we need THIS info, documented here.

I'll need to clean all the maple syrup off it, maybe properly clean it, whatever. I can fix those ragged groups you got going on.

That thing sucks. You need to drive it down here and leave it with me, and I'll fix it. Promise.

I'm completely innocent in 99.9% of the shiit that's talked here. It's SUPER easy for someone to "drive-by" me, and try to implicate me into just about ANY topic that comes up. That's history on this board. I've said enough, for "enough snippets to come up..." In the end, I can always get myself out of it... and you fukkers are to blame... That's called "Plausible Deniability" right there...

I can't believe he brought it up again. That's reserved for special occasions...

You didn't go there... Well, yeah, you did...

Welcome aboard - need more information on what you're trying to do. Taking off the A2 stock, and just installing a Carbine stock? It's a completely different recoil system, to do something like that, so it involves changing the entire back of the gun. In laymen's terms. Need to know if the gun runs now, since it's .243 Win, and it's Panther Arms - which is old school DPMS, the REAL DPMS. If the gun runs, right now, as it is - we're gonna need numbers on the rifle recoil system parts that are on it now. Don't fuk with a running gun. But if we do... we need to make the carbine recoil system match the rifle recoil system that you have now... Or, nothing will work. Without major modification. Let's figure it out.
