I think I want it instead but yeah it's a good barrel if you don't mind carbine gas/16"
I'd rather have middy and 16 or 14.5 and carbine

ref the troy micro sights,I have a burris pepr mount, how much room do you need to mount the rear sight does it fold down forward or backwards to clear the scope rear lens.Quote:

I think it only needs 1 slot basically, and it folds down backwards. It's about the lowest profile folding rear I've seen.
How short is your eye relief on your scope that you have your mount that far back?
You can see it in this humorous photo of forum member 'the kid'
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...6A5B278AA4.jpg
The scope is a leupold vx 1 last year model eye relief bout 3 1/2 inches could probably move the mount forward one more slot.
just looked up specs eye relief 3.7 to 4.2''
A2 looooong stock?Quote:

my 16 inch middy RRA spat a bit of gas in my eye when I suppressed it, so I poor man gass bustered it
gold ever since,
I dont know if ill ever bother with an adjustable gas block because currently it works,
have you run a bead of hitemp silicone between the top of your charging handle seats to the upper tussock?
highly recomend doing it if that gas in the face happens, best thing I ever done to my AR

Fitted a AR Gas Vent in place of forward assist. Expells all excess gas to the side of the gun. Never had anything back through the charging handle when suppressed.
I don't miss the forward assist - it's not a fighting rifle, so who wants to force a round into the chamber if it doesn't want to go? And closing quietly when hunting - just pushing the bolt forward with your thumb in that little bolt recess is more than enough to lock it in.
I use the forward assist to ensure the bolt is in battery after a press check. I wonder if you could have a gas vent and a functional FA
Last i heard they were working on a Gas Vent that would also keep the function of a FA, but no news on them when I just looked.
Spose if you had the right tools, might be worth trying drilling out a FA and trying to make your own... but that's a bit beyond my tech skills :)
Throws out a surprising amount of flith: AR Gas Vent - YouTube
picked up a Daniel defense 16inch CHF 1/7 pencil barrel for my AR its carbine gas but hey, it will suffice for the mean time. now to sell that bull barrel...
what did you end up paying?
Im keen to thin my barrel down but Id say that a pencil middy would be a better move. then atleast i have 2 barrels
560 with gas block, everyone else is asking that kinda money for no name barrels so i think it was a fair buy
i bought mine off gunstuff but i think this is the same guy, same barrel anyway
http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hunt...-561250608.htm
And the hair could take a hammering that close:D
Okay, so I should leave my A2 stock on then?
As haven't bought adjustable gas block yet, everyone is sold out (Waiting on a JP steel low profile one from Brownells).
Im guessing you dont own a shotgun or a sako thenQuote:

Yeah my ar does 1.5 inch groups at 200m with a 4 power yellow triangle reticle scope. Shit of a thing really. Point, did I mention how it points? Oh terrible Muriel, I'd be much better of with a farmers bolt gun. ;)
Using TT2 on my mobele
what scope mounts do you guys run and are you happy with em ?
RRA cantilever, yup happy. solid, but abit agricultural. not planning to change it any time soon tho
nice thanks bill, yeah i'm trying to decide on what one to order. quiet like the vortex optics mount Vortex 30mm Cantilever Riflescope Ring Mount for AR-15 FREE S&H CM-203, CM-202. Vortex AR15 Accessories.
What slings are best to use on a hunting AR? Side mounted?
Found the link to your suggestion Bill. Bloody easy to do and seems to be very effective from all reports.Quote:

I like an easily adjustable simple 2-point, mounted as far forward on the side of the handguard as possible. Eg the proctor gun sling.Quote:

I find a 2-point is useful for support, take a loop of it around the left wrist and brace left hand against something like a tree or rock or car or etc, them you can really lean into it, very stable. Will show what I mean in a video sometime. Works really well.
Cheers Gimp.
V-TAC QUICK ADJUST SLING | Brownells
My favourite sling
Found a post on ar15.com on how to make your own vtac sling.
Now if I can find the parts needed........ only thing I can't seem to find so far is a quick release cam buckle.
I've got the padded sling. Carries nice.
Are these sling snap type fittings any good?
http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/a..._steel_Lge.jpg
I see a lot of the slings available have these type of fittings.
They're known as Hk hooks or mash hooks, I made a simple sling with them and a length of webbing and 2 slide buckles, they work fine if you have something to hook them through on your rifle
I have a bunch of slings with QD, HKs, single, double point etc
Let me see if I can find them and will dig them out for some pics etc
Cheap cheaps :)
We have Promag 1 point and 2 point, Troy 1 point and 2 point slings arriving tomorrow.
you will need the gas buster on your rifle Cambo - its very quiet but gassy!
Cheers for that Muzr......I'm sure you'll show me ;)
I don't like the H&K hooks cuz it's another thing to make noise while stalking. I find the QD swivels can be cunty at times when they move around. Best thing IMO is to have the sling looped around a solid mount on the handguard and on the stock itself or on a buttstock adapter if you run an A2. Down side is you loose the QD function if that matters to you. Doesn't to me.
Cheers for that Beavis. Those are good point to think about.
Not really worried about QD as once the sling is on, it'll probably stay there.
My R15 only has std QD mounts. 2 on the hand guard and 1 in the stock.
Looking at other ways to sling it as I quite like the side mounted idea.
