5.56x45 muzzle device questions

What length barrel are you putting this on? Are you trying your hand at precision shooting? First, you have to understand that there are some muzzle devices that will all but eliminate recoil, but the usual side effect is that the it becomes, for some, uncomfortably loud. The concussion can also get pretty bad. It can range from noticeably louder and concussive on a 20" barrel to sounding like a bomb everytime you pull the trigger on a 10.5" barrel.

A muzzle device will not make up for bad form either. You may be able to attain your goal by first learning proper form.

In any case, I run a 16" rig for shooting between 400 and 800 yards and have a Strike Industries J-Comp on it. It is a very inexpensive muzzle device and will far outperform a warcomp or anything like the warcomp for taming muzzle rise and recoil. I wouldn't put it on anything shorter than 16" though. It is very concussive on short barrels. On the 16" it is a little obnoxious, but I don't get any complaints from those shooting next to me in an outdoor setting.

If you want something with even more braking, the Miculek brake and those like it work well too.

What's the deal with "Aid to Ukraine?"

View attachment 8667546

I call people all sorts of nasty names because I don’t respect them, not because we disagree on something. I don’t have any respect for anyone who still has these opinions of the Ukraine war. And I’m sure just about every opinion you have on some of the most important issues these days are fucking stupid. You sound like a fucking midwit npc character who watches the nightly corporate news to be told what to say to everyone the next day. I’m not going to try refuting anything you say because even if something got past the candy coating in your skull the cognitive dissonance that would occur would cause you to spontaneously combust. Fuck you and fuck everyone who sympathizes with you

Actually, I’ll give you some advice. Take it or leave it, it’s up to you. When you watch your corporate news diarrhea your immediate reaction should be to believe the exact opposite of what you’re hearing
Is it possible for someone to disagree with you on a single thing but share the same views on others, or in your mind is anyone who disagrees with you on the best beer thereafter a midwit npc who gets their information from whatever media source you think of as illegitimate? Where do you learn about ongoing current events? Are you simply omnipotent and always the smartest person on the room?

why are you mad?

Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

I see a lot of people with cantilevered mounts in these rifles. It looks like you’d almost never need them since the upper receiver has a few extra pic rails. Has anyone actually found that they needed a cantilevered mount?

Also, when swapping out for an ambi lower…what has everyone been using? It only seems to go onto one of the 4 I’ve tried putting it on…I had heard it’s a tight fit but am still surprised how tight it actually is.
I am using a non cantilever C1 Max badger mount.

With a Mk5 it puts my eye relief in the same spot as a c1 cantilever on a standard receiver.

AB Quantum Major Update 3.3 + Calypso AB Mini

I just picked up a mini AB because of this update, but I’m getting wild readings from the meter. Lots of 30-40mph wind readings (almost always perfectly from 9 o clock) even when there’s no wind at all.

Calypso’s trouble shooting basically just says to charge it if this happens, but it’s 100% 🤔
Try to see if it needs to be updated. Mine wasn't picking up at all. I put it on anemotracker conf./update. Did it's deal started picking up. Just a guess.

Firearms WTS- 300 Sherman Short KPR Custom Rifle Build- Terminus/Manners/Dracos

*WTS- 300 Sherman Short- Kinport Peak Rifle Custom Build*

~Manners T2A with Gen 2 mini chasis

~Terminus zeus action with full length threading and mag bolt.

~Trigger Tech Dimond trigger

~26" Dracos barrel- 125 rounds

~Area 419 14" arca rail/barricade kit

~Area 419 338 Sidewinder Mag Brake (I went with the 338 brake because it fit the barrel contour better).

This rifle was build by Kinport Peak Rifles here in Idaho. This gun is an absolute tack driver, the only reason for selling is because I have two 300 Sherman Short builds. The purpose of this build was having a hunting rifle capable of taking elk at long ranges with a very manageable recoil impulse. Both of my girls have successfully harvested elk with this set up.

I would prefer to sell the rifle as a whole, but I am open to parting it out as well.

Over $5k invested in this build. Im ask $3,400 plus shipping to your ffl.
