Replacing the barrel on my Medium weight 14.5 inch run and gun upper

Vltor uppers are nice, but of the several that I've used, none were are a snug fit on a variety of barrels, slip fit at best.

So if you really like Vltor uppers, trueing the face & loctite is your friend.

As for lightweight barrels that shoot well, Wilson Combat barrels shoot well above their price point weight, especially when on sale. Pretty much as good as my Craddock's. And they don't foul.

Ingenuity Powder System

Yeah, tell me about that

My V4 yesterday was giving me fits, and it reminded me why divorce cost so much: cause it’s worth it. You pay a lot of money to avoid frustration.

That stupid fucking V4 yesterday kept having the large tub motor, bind up and vibrate and yeah, yeah yeah I know push the two back or pull it forward, but it was to the point where I was having to do that like every five throws. Completely unacceptable.

And then fucking around with shins to get H50 BMG to work and I was gonna go try to find a tip for it and I’m just sick of messing around with these faulty machines

Recommend me a muzzle device

Building out a new dmr-ish rifle. I live in a ban state, so there’s zero chance of a suppressor for me, so no worries about attaching a can. I will use this for a duty capacity and some occasional gas gun competitions . Need a solid muzzle device. Prefer a flash hider , but not opposed to a comp/brake but I don’t want crazy concussion or loudness.

Here’s the build:
18” white oak 1:7 (5.56)
Geiselle mk16 15” rail
Geissele receiver set
Bcm bcg
Ssa-e
NF 4-16 ATACR
Bcm sopmod stock
These brakes are amazing for the recoil reduction for the size, but they are loud.

Either the Gen 2 or the Gen 4 are great, but prices have gone up.
