Slr 16in Handguard

âOrdering 22 criterion barrel soon

Don't know what kind of gas bblock or BCG to get and contemplating target crowned barrel or compensator. Any suggestions or input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Threaded barrels can have "target crown's" go threaded and use a thread protector if you don't want a muzzle device.

d.wilson makes a sweet looking BCG;

That's what she said. BANG! 

 

Unless there is a reason not too...I'd keep it threaded. Comps make a huge difference in the feel of these guns.

What do you guys think of the boron coated bcgs?

Edited August 25, 2015 by shazam

[jtallen83]

Never got one dirty yet. I think I'll stick with coated carries and go with nitride, QPQ or melonite bolts, they don't add any dimension or wear off.

[washguy]

Shazam    go for the threaded barrel...a comp will come in handy...Dwilson bcg is just what ya need....I like Seekins low pro adj gas block...bout 60 bucks

why such a long barrel?
 whatcha gonna be doing with it?  Wash

[shazam]

Mmm I ment 20in and because I like the look. I've heard many things about the seekins gas block. I was thinking of an Aero Precision BCG. As for the comp....I'm lost at sea.

I was thinking 

Lantac dragon

Aero Precision BCG "boron coating"

Seekins gas block

Criterion 20in target grey

Atlas bipod

Any who....does the brand or make of a gas rod matter any? What about a scope mount? 

 

 

[washguy]

I was thinking 

Lantac dragon

 

 all those awesome choices and you want a Lantac dragon?  that thing is fuggly.....gas tubes ...brands dont mean much....scope mount...what scope are you thinking of using?  get a JP Benny Cooley or a PRI quiet brake   so you can run off the guy on either side of you         Wash

I think I'm gonna go with a vortex, I've heard great things about them for the price point. And HEY I happen to like the look of the lantac, but the jury is still undecided with the break. I'm from ma so it'll be violated anyways.

[shazam]

Hey guys does anyone have a side by side of the Bennie Cooley brake standard vs large style? I'm going with a criterion barrel from brownells

Just want it to look normal ha-ha,if I go with a 20in barrel I need the .750 compensator correct?

[shazam]

Ohhhhh and this is the brake

Although it says the brake is for a bull barrel...should be interchangeable... Correct?

waiting on taxes for some vortex awesomness. Shot it today, wont cycle correctly. Light strikes and bolt wont close completely.

When you pull the charging handle all the way back and release it on a full magazine does the round chamber and fire okay? do you soak the upper friction points and BCG and bolt rings with lube oil? keep the oil out of the chamber.  Mobil 1 motor oil works for me.

[shazam]

I was thinking that it just needed some breaking in. I lubed the hell out of it, I brought it to the shop that headspaced it. They were going to polish the throat? This is my first and wanted to make sure everything was in order. I chose an Odin Works adjustable gas block, nearly cranked the gas adjustment all the way. I figured it was an excessive amount of gas, amongst the lube I used I thought something else was the issue. Plus the casing had a "snake bite" on the primer lip.

[shazam]

Cycles correctly now, vortex optics are awesome. Frigging bi-pod sucks though, its an blackhawk sportster. Does not mate well will my slr handguard, loose as hell. I understand most of you guys are Harris or atlas guys but im only pushing 400-500 yards. The blackhawk is wobbly as hell, the "set-screw" just bottoms out. Should i replace the screw or suck it up and go Harris, atlas is just way to excessive for me me in mass. I think she is quite pretty though huh? haha

Nice looking rifle! I have an Atlas myself, pricy but I've forgot all about that after using it a couple years. I had a bipod like yours, it literally fell apart after several hundred rounds.

[Rsquared]

I'd go Harris if price is your main objective. But both are nice (Harris and Atlas) I've got a couple of both of them, and have never had an issue with them.

 

Watch out when you talk Bipods my man. You can open up a whole can of worms (read as headaches) when you do. A couple of the other brothers around here wore my ass out about bipods (one in particular), when I brought it up one time. Ha!
