    Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 21MAR25)

    Well the SPR barrel is 18" so I'd say you could safely add 48fps, but keep in mind that you have a CLE Chamber. None of mine liked the Hot loads, my go to load for my CLE load is 77 SMK 23.5gr TAC, LC Brass and BR4 Primers. I would start your load development at 23gr of TAC and work up 24gr it...

    New Purchase?

    I hear the Jacksonville FL Sheriff's Office love them.

    New Purchase?

    That's the same design as my Broadsword Builds that I'm using with the Geissele barrels as far as how the Upper and Handguard mate to each other, very solid.

    Gunsmith to make AR barrel

    Craddock does great work as well, but the OP will be waiting for months. Paul Ross is pretty open at the moment.

    Gunsmith to make AR barrel

    Give Paul Ross a call or text, just tell him I sent you and he'll do you a solid deal. If you're not familiar with Paul Ross he was the Head Barrel Smith at Compass Lake, he worked there for over 20 years. If you've ever read any of my Reviews or Range Reports, Paul has made just about every...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    🤣... No worries, very fair questions. Yes absolutely Sir, In fact I'm leaving soon to hit the range and I'll be happy to post all the dog shit groups as it happens. I'll give it all to you (No Homo)..the good, the bad and the really ugly.

    Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 21MAR25)

    No Sir, no down side at all. I started off with the Keymo Hub and Dead Air Muzzle break Set up and initially I really enjoyed it although it did add on a good amount of weight. As time went on I started noticing that the CAN would come loose off of that last click creating just enough play...

    I want to build (or maybe buy, if I must) a precision .308 gas gun

    Honestly brother, I'd just pick up a Seekins SP10 and be done with it. They're super easy to swap barrels if you're not happy with or shoot it out.

    Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 21MAR25)

    It was the AAC 77gr TMKs, but I'll shoot if again just for you😉 I put the 1/2" red dots I shoot at 100rds on the boxes of ammo that don't work out, it also hated the 69gr AAC SMK's When I take the 18" SPR out for load development I'll shoot every type of factory 5.56/.223 ammo I have on hand...

    Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 21MAR25)

    I tried some factory 77gr TMKs, it wasn't pretty close to 2 MOA IIRC
