Cool, thanks. Picture thread.
I dig it. How do you like the Whiskey Arms carrier?
Is that the Troy Carbon fiber rail? If so was it to cut it down?
the Whiskey Arms carrier is great! Really light weight, allowing you to tune your gun to use less gas and get it shooting really flat. It likes to be be run soaked in oil and I (personally) only would run it for competition use.
No it is an aluminum rail and was cut down like a barbarian (with a hacksaw)
How many rounds have you gotten out of it? Buddy of mine ran one for a couple years, I would guess well over 10k when he retired it. I think it still worked though.
I've made a few changes to my rifle since it was last posted here, I have it pretty well set up currently but I may switch the 14.5" pinned barrel out for a 13.7" setup. I'll probably buy a MARS lower to match the upper at some point and use the Areo for another project too.
224 Valk. PSA upper/mega lower. Shoots everything I've throw at it 3/4 MOA or better

Grey Ghost Precision MK1. My 3 Gun rifle with a NF ATACR 1-8 on it
How do you like the Answer brake?
I have really liked it. Able to tune it easily and it’s very effective. Also very light. I have tested a large quantity of brakes and I have settled on this one so far.
I've been around the block a few times with brakes. I was about to get an Answer when I found a deal on the Hypertap and haven't looked back. I'd still like to test it against the Answer and Ultradyne Apollo one of these days though.
For shooting in general There are a ton that fit the bill. At this point for competition I am looking for something that I can tune to my exact load and get it to keep my sights dead on. The Answer, the arms light tunable and the rolling thunder have been the top 3. The answer is expensive though
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Wilson Combat trigger. Upgraded butt stock. Eotech Optic with magnifier. USMC bayonet. Streamlight 600DF light. KAC rails and VFG.

if you haven't done so already, figure out which buffer weight works best: std 3oz, H, H2, or H3 (5.4oz). Make sure you still have Last-Round-Bolt-Hold-Open (LRBHO) throughout your range of ammo that you intend to be using. That's one aspect of the recoil.
then, maybe a LANTAC Dragon muzzle brake/compensator. With a short barrel like that, probably don't want a brake that directs gasses rearward, like the PA M4-72, even if more effective at mitigating recoil. JMHO.

Just wondering tony.. have you come across many Cobalt Kinetics rifles at matches..?? How would you compare em to say, JP?
Never once. Which is kinda weird considering how many guys love to drop big money on whatever the latest flashiest rifle is. Lots of skeletonized F1's and Leadstars out there but no Cobalts. I've seen a few of their parts and the machining is top notch on them, and I know Keith Garcia was shooting for them a while back which should say a lot for them, but thats not always the case.
Bout what I figured.. their marketing looks top notch but man I aint seen many out and about at all..
Are they still advertising hot and heavy? I thought they've been pretty quiet compared to two years ago.
I didn't mean necessarily recently.. but their website looks pretty nice.
How about BPM? Many folks running builds from them?
Can't say I recall seeing any. If you talk to east coast guys it sounds like they're quite common.
To be honest you don't see many factory rifles at matches, I'd guess over 80% are built by the owner or a small local gun plumber. Out of all the factory rifles you do see over half are probably JP's, some Armalites and then the last tiny fraction is made up of BCM's, ADM's and then the budget rifles new guys bring like DPMS or low end Stags, Bushmasters etc.
Great day at gun club. Got my COLT SOCOM M4 nice and warmed up. Lots of drills.

Anywho, is that one have the SOCOM medium contour barrel? Hows it shoot? You ought to throw a Daniel Defense rail on there and Surefire 3 or 4 prong to do a M4A1 Block 2 cloneOnly the best for me. I know, it's pathetic, but a cheap buzz. That with the McCafe coffee, I figure they deserve one another.
I should have mentioned that I had only one of a very few negative experiencs at my private gun club, members only.
So, the Steel Plate shooting crowd was out doing their weekend match and they always take five of our wonderful outdoors shooting combat pits.
I set up, first open pit, next to their first stage.
I start my M4 drills, warming up then moving over to double-taps on a torso target, I empty my last mag and turn around to find one of the steel plate shooter guys literally glaring at me. I say to him, "Good morning, something I can help you with?" He said, "That's pretty loud." And I said, "Yes, it is, ain't it great? How about you just go back to your steel target shooting?" He walked away.
Idiots.
Steel plate competitions are fun, but these morons think that because they can put a round on a large steel plate at 15 yards they are somehow shooting NINJAs. LOL.
Whatever.
I put another 600 rounds downrange fully satisfying my monthly drill standard with my AR and then went home. Enjoying the fact that I was upsetting the FUDDS.

Can you attempt to post your comment again in standard English? Thanks.
WHAT SIZE GROUPS IS YOUR RIFLE PRODUCING? DOES IT HAVE THE SOCOM MEDIUM CONTOUR BARREL?
Beautiful!..
This is "Creedence". A mashup of CCR receivers and SLR parts.
Everytime a commie says "buyback" another lower gets it's innards.
