.308LiteHunter Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Looking forward to the range report. I'm liking the look of that handguard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'll get some better pics, specifically of that handguard. I liked it when I shot it on beach's .308 G II - he has the Keymod version of it. It's very, very slim, at 1.5" OD, and every surface portion of it is extremely smooth. They rounded off all areas that could have been sharp edges. Very comfy to hold. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 So, just to get it together, I slapped that .30-cal Ruger muzzle device on there - had that thing left over from the GSR. The real muzzle device wasn't in yet. However, it is here today... I went with the AAC Single Chamber Brake. Might sound odd, but that was all planned out. It only adds a little more than 1" to the barrel OAL, and I wanted to keep this thing short. If it's going to be a truck gun, then it's a good thing it's not 37" long, OAL. So, short was the key. Also, using a brake might sound crazy - but I don't want the front of this thing moving under recoil. Keep it flat, keep it on target. I don't care how loud it might be - not if it ever gets used for it's intended purpose. Loud = Don't Care. We'll see how loud it is in the morning...

98Z5V Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Now, I told you guys this handguard was skinny... No kidding... Closer to "finished," but not quite yet. Range report tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Those two front QD mounts are going to look like little volcanos shooting out the side... watch your fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yep, I know. I'm gonna run my hand all the way out at the end, just so I can show you a "burnt-hand pic." <lmao> 300BLK loads with 150gr projos and 16.1gr of H110, moving at 1800fps - shouldn't be too bad. Shouldn't be too much fireball and massive concussion. If it is, I'll just load up some heavyass subs and run them in it. I'll test some 220gr sub loads tomorrow, too. <thumbsup> Gas port diameter in this beast is 0.120". 9" barrel, pistol-length gas, 0.120" gas port.

98Z5V Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Tested - functions flawlessly on 150gr supers and 220gr subs. Hardly any big fireball from the brake - no fireball at all, actually. It just does it's job. Figured that was gonna happen, since it's not a big powder charge. Started at 25 yards to see where the impacts were - about 2" low. Right on at 50 yards, with minor tweaks to the iron sights. These sights were taken off a different rifle, just for use now, and I didn't think it was going to be that close. Good surprise. Now, it's coming apart and getting painted. Right now. <thumbsup> Edited March 3, 2015 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm waiting for some hardcore firing to ignite that magnesium handguard.... then the real fireworks begin... If it happens I want pictures of your half singed facial hair!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 No magnesium handguard, you freak. It's just aluminum. Seems it's not warm enough to paint today - couldn't get a good pattern, and it was coming out thick. We'll see what happens when it comes out of the oven...
