I'd planned to heat gun the barrel daily for a week and then let sit a couple/few weeks, but if there is no smell the oven cure...Bro, I'm all in for that! Seriously, no smell? I suppose the oven must be clean with no food stains?

Seriously, no odor. I think it’s because it’s a coating that either doesn’t have VOC’s or doesn’t have much; that’s why it takes heat or a long time to cure. Literally did it in the morning, baked it for 2-3 hours, and no odor.

Arguably the 2 best configurations in their line up.

Put the JP spring in your Larue and it makes it that much more amazing. Been doing this for years and is my go to.

Do you use the JP Hammer spring with the MBT-2S and does it light off primers in the winter?

I’ve had problems with JP Hammer springs igniting primers in the cold when I used to do trigger jobs prior to the existence of Geissele and the wave of after-market triggers available to us over the past 21 years.

Once all these really good triggers started hitting the market with full power hammer springs, I haven’t messed around much with JP springs, though I really love the JP Single stage trigger for 3-Gun and fast close range work. I think I started using JP AR-10 hammer springs to deal with light primer strikes about 15-20 years ago.

With AR-15s at local ranges, there are maybe 3 main camps:

Camp 1 brings a 16” CLGS vismod-15 with carbine handguards, FSB, cheapest option they could find blaster with Barska optic/laser combo shooting Wolf Steel case or imported fodder. Shot groups look like a full choke shotgun pattern, once on-paper. Just having fun, no signs of any training or much experience, no big deal as long as they’re safe.

Camp 2 brings a mid-grade AR with decent optics and shoots pretty tight groups with better ammo, shows signs of training and experience.

Camp 3 is the competitor/reloader/pro shooter with higher-end rifles, optics, and ammo just checking zeros or getting some range time, working on load development, with very good fundamentals and experience, with groups that show it.

AR-15/AR-10 Camps 2 & 3 easily out-shoot the seasonal rifle hunter w/ Cabella’s scope bolt gun shooters, and it’s not even close.

These are just my observations over a long period of time in one specific location in the Country, but I suspect you all have seen the same or similar things at your local ranges. I don’t encourage disparaging the cheap AR/Barska shooters, as we need to promote more participation in the shooting disciplines.

That's a hard number to believe.

I used to spend all-day/all-week testing rifles for a manufacturer at a local shooting range in the SLC area, and frequented the range for many years doing load development and zero confirmation, so I got to notice a lot of habits of shooters, especially around and leading up to rifle hunting season.

Factor I:
One of the biggest things I noticed, besides what everyone has mentioned already, was loose and improperly-mounted scopes/rings, or cheap pieces of trash China scopes that backlash and fail mechanically within a few rounds. Total waste of time buying that and bringing it to the range. Anytime I see single fastener rings and some weird Chinesium piece of excrement, I know the shooter is not going to have a good experience. What torque spec was used to tighten down the single fastener rings with their Cobalt or Harbor Freight driver? Anyone’s guess.



This applied more to bolt guns as well, where recoil would loosen their set-up very quickly, especially guys shooting .300 Win Mag.

Factor II:
For “fundamentals", these guys are yanking their heads up off the comb to try to see what happened. All the other fundamentals were non-existent, showing a lack of any formal or productive training.

This is why I started my kids out with the BB gun in the back yard with tin cans, with full demonstration and coaching through fundamentals of rifle marksmanship.

As a result, my 75lb 9yr-old is making high probability 1st-round hits on steel out to 800yds, and high probability hits on vital zone flashers out to 400yds. I’ve been taking him to the range every month for the last 2 years, less frequently from age 4-7, but more than usual. He’s doing this with lightweight 6.5 Grendel AR-15s. I think he’s only shot 5.56 once with a 10” suppressed blaster.

He shoots the heavy .260 Rem LR-260 gasser well too. He never had an opportunity to learn bad habits out of the gate.

Looks like nicely put-together piece, with some very nice features.

But I don't think I'll be shit-canning my Knight's LPR anytime soon though. That is maybe the best all around AR I've ever had.

It would be more fun to start a poll for each component and watch people argue ZCO vs TT for 187 posts before selecting a 10x SuperSniper because money LOL.

I'll take this.

Do you notice a reduction in reticle movement off Point of Aim when the shot breaks?

I was always curious about those, but thought they were discontinued.

8-Year Update
I’ve been taking this 12", the 17.6” Lilja, and 18” LaRue Grendels to this range almost every month for the past 2 years, with Decembers maybe as exceptions.

My boy enjoys shooting all of them, and is getting really proficient at making good hits on steel across the course. The 12” is noticeably more quiet with 100gr ELD-VT. This past Saturday, right before we left, I made a 1st-round hit at 907yds on 2 MOA steel plate with that “crappy” 110gr PPU FMJ fodder, tickled again. I started talking about wanting to put higher magnification glass on it, when my buddy who witnessed it said, “Why mess with it when you just 1st-rounded the plate at 907yds?” It still only has the 1-6x24 Norden/GRSC made in Japan LPVO with the GRSC tree reticle, which I really like.

I shot the Fort Scott 123gr TUI with a Radar chrono to get some numbers:

12” Grendel, 74˚F
2215
2225
2217
2223
2230

Avg: 2222fps SD: 5.6 ES: 15.4

Put every shot on a plate at 400yds using assumed mv in my program. These bullets make a weird boing-zing ricochet sound since they’re monoliths designed to tumble on impact. G1 BC is .571, which is crazy. I think I can hand-load them to longer COL with CFE223 and get 2300fps from the 12”. I’ve been enjoying how the 100gr ELD-VT and 110gr PPU perform though from the 12” Grendel, noticeably flatter, can still hear impacts really well out to 1000yds.
