Spaniky73 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 So my buddy who has more money than skills (had to teach him how to break down his own rifle) asked me to do his EBR swap for his Socom 16. So being the good friend I said I would do it. Other than the piston guide it was pretty straight forward. It was my first build of an EBR so it took me almost a hour and a 1/2 to swap out the piston guide. Also he had a scope mount that I had to cut down and paint to work with the EBR stock. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 That's pretty 8).Hows the Lar-8 brother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniky73 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Loving my LAR-8. The heavy buffer I picked up from slash solved the issues I was having. Shoots great. With surplus ammo I am shooting a 2" grouping at 100yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniky73 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 We took the EBR out on Saturday. Wow is it a smooth firing rifle and for only having a 16" barrel was surprisingly accurate at distance (200dyds+). ALMOST makes me want to change out my LAR-8 for one.

Jgun Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Great looking gun! Just HOW accurate was it at 200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniky73 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Just having fun using 1970s surplus ammo with a cross wind of 3-5 knots it was shooting about a 4"-5" grouping. If we were using match grade on a clam day I am pretty sure we could cut that in half. I have shot a sub 2" grouping with my LAR-8 at 100yds with the same ammo.
