That's all barrel doing that, then, the difference in speeds we're seeing. 16" to 18". The difference per inch is usually smaller than that, though,for 5.56. How old/new is the barrel?

PSA 223 Wylde 1:7 stainless 18” heavy barrel with Mlok stuff… Magpul bipod stolen from elsewhere… Arken 6-24 FFP glass . Aero bare lower with a basic lower kit but replaced the trigger with an SSA-E. Better buttstock should be here before the weekend. Hopefully I’ll get rounds through it on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted August 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) That's gonna work, Nate. DC Machine makes the barrels for PSA (PSA owns them), and they make good 5.56 barrels. Can't go wrong there. Exactly one week after this last match, we have our own Sex Swing fabbed up, and we're test-firing it this Sunday. We'll make sure the results get posted here. @Armed Eye Doc has to have the official credit for naming this thing, too... At the shoot, they called it the "Wobble Platform." That is true, but just doesn't give it justice. We'll inform THEM that it's been renamed, and all future listings of it in the shoot details have to call it The Sex Swing...

Expand Truthfully - that is my first tactical scope - and the second is the MIL variant of the same scope... I bought MOA first because in my mind the 1MOA = 1" per 100 yards maths seemed simpler to me than the 1 MIL = 3.6" per hundred yards. Since I think in inches not CM and yards not meters it seemed logical. After reading up a bit on the topic I determined that there was no good answer - it is a holy-war topic and if I choose one over the other I'm bound to be wrong in some environment - so I figured I'd learn both... 🙂 If the AZ Accurized AR crew here all speaks MIL - I'll get my MIL on... not so much to "fit in" (ask my momma how well I comply when I decide that a directive is wrong) - but to make life easier for the rookie (me)... 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Don't fret my man, there's still some of us that shoot MOA. And there's always the blanket answer for when someone comments on your equipment choice........... Well at least thats my usual goto answer. Said with love and friendship of course.
