Larger barrel profiles in non-nutted barrels too.

That, and the generations coming up now, not ever having known who some of these people being depicted really were, are going to think that these images and videos are real. Saddens me greatly. And people are just sucking this stuff up with a spoon.

I find myself praying for discernment a lot these days.

If you have a checklist of things you think would be good for analizing performance id love to see it as more data points are generally good for elininating variables.

Im not trying to chase national match benchrest wins.

I have a nice 308 thats very accurate i could do a side by side next time using federal gold medal match. And id love the input for improving based on that.

My goal with this rifle is its going to be my travel hunting rifle. Wood stock nice aestetics but also not a 15lb gun to lug up a mountian.
Rifle currently weighs like 7.5 lbs id like it to be closer to 8.5-9lbs to add some stability and recoil mitigation while still being reasonably nimble for hunting. And off the bench id like to be getting .75 inch groups.

Would you recomend 5 shot like in photo or 3 shot?

Aa for the bdl. It has a vortex venom 3-15x44

I didn't have any issues with a canted gas block with my LPR, but I did suspect it to impact the inside of the handguard. I ended up pulling my barrel out and replacing it with a conventional barrel and gas block. I actually went through three gas blocks until I found one slim enough to not hit the rail. The first two I tried showed obvious fliers when I shot groups.

This is the factory gas block after I pulled the barrel. Looks like it was hitting the inside of the handguard.

This is the inside of the rail. All you can really make out is gas leakage.

When I pulled handgua I found this bur. I'm the upper receiver there's a ridge or alignment mark to mate with the groove inside the handguard but it looks like whoever assembled the upper caught the alignment ridge on the edge of the handguard and created the bur you see no sanded it down and didn't have any other issues.

I think the Proof barrel they use is kind of a dog. My gun came with a .8'something group but it was the biggest .8 group I ever saw. I think it said something like .824 but when I measured it I couldn't make it smaller than .880. but whatever, right? It was pretty inconsistent and that's why I pulled the barrel. With a new barrel, it's the best shooting AR I have.

Despite all this, I truly think they make the best upper receiver and handguard mating system made. At this point it's kind of an anomaly. If you got a rifle or upper, you got probably the best system out there. If LMT would make a 15" or 17" rail it would dethrone the LPR but if you want the best precision AR-15 upper/ receiver, this is it. It's definitely overpriced if you plan on stripping the parts out of it like I did, but I don't know where you could get a better builders kit. Money aside. They announced they were going to make a universal handguard..I think they're making new products and that's why you can't buy LPRs or builders kits anymore. I remain skeptical about a traditional handguard. It's a shame. It seems like they could've sold builders kits until the cows came home.

So I’ve probably got a bit of different perspective on this than others. I spent a couple years in Venezuela and my wife is Venezuelan.

Things had been going downhill steadily since before Chavez was elected and we’re not rosy even before that. Once the oil industry was nationalized it was just a matter of time before entitlement and laziness take over.

The saddest part is that there is no will to be free of the corruption and oppression from the regime. With over 5 million people having fled the country, the only people left are too old, sick, or criminals themselves feeding from the same criminal enterprise. Latin American countries have been so corrupt for so long that it is part of the culture and is just expected to be that way.

Russia, China, and Iran have been infiltrating and propagandizing for a long time with much success. Russia and China have control of the oilfields, mining, and military. All have bases/training centers within the Country and this is without considering the whole Narco state issue (which is 100% true).

Most of the population would be perfectly happy with new government - but will not fight for it. As long as the free goods flow until it is stabilized, there would be minimal resistance. The only resistance would come from the useful idiots that live from the government and those with enough status that they are currently part of the oppression.

The Venezuelan military really is pathetic in it’s capabilities and we could expect a lot more trouble from the Narcos than from the actual military.

I was hopeful when Trump was in office last time but am now more worried that the entire country would become like Zimbabwe without occupation to maintain some level of law and order as the Venezuelans don’t even grasp the concept any longer.
