Wanted to thank Dave at Shark Precision for helping me get my SBR completed. Had an exciting time with the ATF EForm 1 going up and down and as a result, after three days and eight hours of trying in March got the form submitted on 3/12. On 7/29 the form was disapproved because during the process of the site going up and down, my Trust Street address was left off block 3b. Corrected that on 7/29 and 19 days later had the approval.

I bought an 11.5" Stainless Bull barrel from Shark in .223 Wylde. Put that on what started out as a Bushmaster XM15. Midwest Industries rails and an Adams Arms Conversion kit. Used new JP springs in the trigger and a Magpul pistol grip. Added my Phantom QD flash hider and Dave helped me setup the system. Also added my trusty old EOTech.

Zeroed and shot for the first time yesterday. Wow! Five rounds to get into the center bull with the EOTech at 25 yards. Had to bend over the bench as their was no chair around. Still had all the rounds in the bull at about 4". Added the suppressor and there was no change in POI. Then did some double tap drills at 15 yds. Still all in Center Mass.

Love this new barrel! Dave is a standup guy and will help any way he can. He had a few of these barrels around and I decided to go with the .223 Wylde just to see what it could do. Felt like I'd accomplished something as this was my first barrel change.
