Nice !

More details ? Barrel length ? Velocity ? 223 I assume

Thanks man! It's an 11.3" 223 Wylde chamber, only put a few rounds through it to function test so far. Will get out next week to do some accuracy testing with 69, 75, & 77 grain ammo I have on hand & plan to chrono it then. I will say that it functions flawlessly so far with just an H buffer & standard carbine spring. I received a Sprinco "white hot" buffer spring in the mail a few minutes ago for a little extra insurance since it'll be run suppressed with heavy bullets 99.999% of the time. I'll definitely follow up when I get it back to the range Monday or Tuesday!

Cool I have a 12.5” craddock I was debating selling

aac_shooter · Oct 16, 2024

Decided to rattle can my go to coyote rifle. At least I won’t be able to see the south Texas dust on it anymore. 224 Valkyrie that loves the 88 ELD-M.

My Mk12ish mod1. Can't decide between sticking with the B5 or a A2 stock.

I've been thinking about using that scope as a place holder on a SAM-R clone I have. It is exact excepting the scope, which quite frankly, I doubt is any better optically than the Arken. How do you like it on your Mk12, which is basically the same damn thing, kinda...

Confused: so the LMT upper has a DD 16” barrel, who did the extension modification for it to fit and is it timed correctly for the bolt to operate?

It's not monolithic. It's an LMT milspec upper receiver.

18" Proof Carbon 6 ARC in a LMT MARS-L MRP.

That thing looks great. I'm building nearly the exact same rifle. Not sure on barrel yet though. I've got the MRP 13.25 and the NF 4-16 should be in on Tuesday.

What do you think of the MRP for this role? I figured it should eliminate any POI shift from bipod/tripod/barricades.

I have that exact barrel for sale right now. I am moving to a 14.5”. I love the LMT for this type of build, mono tops em all.

Nice gun. Not a great idea to mount one ring on the upper and the other on the rail though.

Ok that is one of the coolest looking barrels I’ve ever seen. Did you buy it like that or had it coated? I’d the latter, how does it not burn off with the heat from the rounds?

How you like that SH-4? I have an EP8 on my 8.6 Blackout build and absolutely love it. Lately I’ve been thinking of upgrading the glass on my 20” 6.5CM build (I built it to go 1000+ yards) and have been looking at Arken’s bigger glass.

16” OEM LMT barrel chopped to 13.9” by D. Wilson on a 13.25” quad rail upper with a TBAC Dominus K-SR. The perfect pairing of barrel and upper and the width of the can fits the profile of the rail nicely as well.

Love their work, I have 4 barrels planned that need to sent to them for lmt conversion.

Man I’m really thinking of cerakoting one of my rifles in that same color Vortex puts on their optics now. That Midnight Bronze or whatever it’s called is so freaking clean. I’m not a brown fan at all. Like I see a rifle in KB and I keep walking, but that Midnight Bronze is so damn sharp.

So 16” circumcised down to 13.9”, did you P&W the muzzle device so you didn’t have to SBR it? Because it looks like you can still detach the can at will. Asking for a friend…

No this is an old LMT Defender lower that has been NFA for over a decade. I think there are a few muzzle devices out there that will get a 13.9” to legal length for those looking to do a P+W.

Ah ok. I’ve got my 12.5” and 10.5”, both of which are Form 1’ed, and my two 16” builds. But after getting my cans out of paperwork jail, a full length 16” with a can added to it, it’s a bit on the long side. I’m probably going to leave them, but when I’m at the range with them, they’ll annoy be a bit.

I think some flat black header paint on that can would be sick looking. Nice build.

First from scratch build. I'm a CAR15 stock away from the 4lb realm. A dude at the range asked me "does it even shoot bullets?" Classic.

Craddock Precision did it. Spiral fluted cerocoated in flutes only. It is heat and solvent safe.

I like the idea of putting only a Romeo 5 on a rifle to keep it simple and lightweight. This is my wife's rifle. She said that she doesn't want rail covers, lights, or anything else on it. It's so much lighter than my rifles. I'm jealous of her rifle every time I pick it up. The combination of these parts makes for a handy lightweight rifle that shoots great, but it's nowhere near 4lbs light. It's more like 6lbs. Geissle 16" taper profile barrel, 13.5" mk14 G rail, and Sig Romeo 5.

Not exactly light weight, but not very heavy either. 16" Core with titanium RCA bcg. Still need to shoot it lol

From todays session at the range.
I have done some crude rattle can painting on my upper, as you can tell.
Very happy with the result and this rifle shoots and handles great.
