I’m no Geissele fan boy but I’m impressed. So after @Bigjake83 posted about his success with the 14.5” Heavy Geissele barrels I reluctantly took a chance one one of the 16” barrels.
The build consisted of the following:
Aero Enhanced upper and 15” hand guard
Expo Arms BCG
Basic Aero Low profile Melonited gas block
Supplied Geissele gas tube
Factory LMT defender 2000 lower
Geissele SSA-E trigger
Magpul STR stock
Subrevtec STR bag rider
1.5” ADM QD mount
Old Bushnell Elite Tactical 3-12
Surefire 4 prong flash hider/mount
I got it together and took it out for function testing with and without a suppressor and it ran 100% using AAC 77gr OTM ammo. The extended gas length gives a smooth recoil impulse. It shot tiny groups but I didn’t get too excited. I didn’t even bother to measure them.
A few weeks passed and I figured I’d put it on paper for record. All groups shot at 100 yards. Same lot of AAC 77gr OTM. All suppressed through a Surefire 7.62 Socom Mini. 3:00 ejection pattern if that matters to you. Four 5 round groups and 1 ten round group. These were shot back to back with no cool down between groups.

Groups measured using BallisticX app
Y’all check my math but that should figure up to .7128 MOA across the 5 groups.
Not bad for a cheapish build shooting $9.99 a box ammo. I’ll see how it does at range with better ammo when I get the chance.
Happy Independence Day you ungrateful colonials.

That 6cm running super fast by the time you settle you will need a new barrel
It's a Bartlein Mod400 barrel, so I was hoping to get 1k rounds, after some quick load development
