I just put some Hornady 55 FMJ-BT WC846 bulk plinking ammo through the Geissele upper today on one of my other SBR lowers to zero at 50yd and put some rounds down in.

Functioned flawlessly..... just waiting for the Huxwrx to show up in the mail then I'll start doing some testing.

I also have a 11.5" piston upper i built with a Superlative Arms piston kit that is very smooth ill be testing the Huxwrx on and comparing to these 2 uppers.

it seems like an “emperor’s new clothes” situation with the ever increasing height of optic mounts.

I do like the upper, and if the optic setup works well for you, I’m all for it. Super cool that suppressors can come in the mail, I have a Hux showing up shortly.

Honestly, I thought it looked weird as hell. Ran it today for the first time and its very nice.

Super fast dot acquisition with a full heads up normal posture. Zero movement of the head or body to find or get behind the dot. The concept works. I was hesitant but I like it a lot. I was so hesitant before shooting it i got a unity mount just in case... hahaha

Nice builds! I have a lot of similar parts on a few of my own builds. Those bcm qd end plates are a great deal at like $15 or whatever they are these days. I don’t usually use it but its nice to have just in case.

In my head this was you waiting for someone to ask about the mount…

Yea it came with no direction and the QR code didnt show orientation like unity mount directions do. But I looked up some pictures and found it flipped around. The Pic was the only one I had from earlier today... its flipped around now.hahah

Yea I love those BCM endplates.
