Ongoing project, Colt CQBR(upper) and later a “clone” MK18 Mod0(complete rifle).
Colt upper assembly with a Colt 10.3 inch MK18 barrel(.070 gas port), 2nd Gen Aimpoint, Ma Tech rear sight, KAC RAS will be added as well. I have the OG CCO mount as well, just haven’t put it on yet

Sig MCX Rattler LT .300blk. These are pretty hard to come by from our distributor/s. Have a list of customers wanting one. Finally got one for the first guy on list. Pretty cool little weapon.
Intended for long range rimfire barricade events (25-400+ yards) chambered in .22 Long Rifle.
The build currently consists of:
Tac-Sol dedicated rimfire upper and bolt assembly.
Sako P94S barrel (23” 16.5 twist), turned to fit the adapter which is sized to an AR receiver.
MDT SRS stock.
Shortened buffer and short spring.
IWI 17” Arca/M-Lock/full Picatinny forend.
Sabre Defense XR15 lower and adjustable trigger.
Black Dog mags.

Some folks are SERIOUS about a "heads up" shooting posture!
Nice stick!
I hate the way they look. But the 2.91" works extremely well for myself and many others.
I find that the MRO is a bit more forgiving if you want to go shorter. I haven't tried anything taller than the 1/3 mounts, but with an "aggressive" posture, I find the lower 1/3 height to be pretty natural.
This is my first MRO HD. I like it so far overall. The red "haze" in some lighting conditions is annoying, but that's about the only negative. Have been running Aimpoint and Eotech products a couple decades. And more recently some Sig products.
I still run 1.97 on some rifles. However, I still work behind rifles away from the store/shop. So, staying as up to date on current TTP's is part of the gig. Running nvg and gas masks happens.
There's a growing trend to have your carbine and handgun stance/position almost exactly the same now. Which can only really be done with 2.25 or taller mounts. It makes training a bit more efficient. And there's another several bullet points one can make for the taller mounts. I'm a fan. Even if not for professional use, it's just more comfortable.
That being said, it's not for everyone. And it does look kinda dumb (and we all know most of being cool is looking cool).
Here's a little LMT/D.Wilson fun for the day.
I just got the Arca rail in and I'm very impressed. The cut outs for the M-lok screws are a little sharp but it's a lot less bulky and much more comfortable than the alternative. It also let's you run your bipod all the way out (using the RRS clamp).

CQBR upper is complete for now, early block 1 build.
Who made the Arca rails/adapters?
I was very frustrated at not finding an Arca-Swiss forend longer than 17”.

Great idea and execution. Would like to see those edges around the screws rounded slightly. Sharp!

Swapped out the BCM upper receiver for a new Forward Controls Design receiver. Bedded the barrel with loctite 620. Action feels nice and smooth now.
BCM upper felt like it was binding while cycling regardless of the gun shooting great and the cam pin wear was very excessive. Upon pulling the barrel out I also noted uneven witness marks from the carrier on the barrel. My guess is the receiver may have been slightly OOS and the barrel threads / hole / face were slightly off axis compared to the raceways in the upper. I know lots of uppers are not perfect and tolerance stacking is a thing, but this was not going to work long term. The cam pin wear shown below is sub 1,000 rounds.
Finally pieced together a replica of my M4A1 Block I from OEF. Gunna snag a MK-18 upper & Elcan as well to complete the set.

6max is interesting. If we start seeing ammo availability for it I may look into building an upper as well.
Yessir, I decided to go the dies & brass route instead. So far in testing the 58 gr VMAX and 70 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips are shooting really well with AR Comp powder
Ya, I think my next major project after I do my 300blk receivers is going to be a 6.5cm swap upper for my AR10 that way I can shoot both 308 and 6.5cm out of it. The 308 is a 1k upper max and I know the 6.5 could definitely 1500 no problem with a 20-22” barrel.Yessir, I decided to go the dies & brass route instead.

Going tomorrow to dial it in. The Superlative Arms carrier was snug in the upper. I don’t recall any other carrier being this snug. I swapped in a couple other carriers (which had already been used briefly and all moved freely). I lubed everything up and worked the carrier. Assembled everything seems fine, but I’m going to take it apart and see if it’s still rough… if it is should I put some rounds through it or should I return it for replacement?
So I may make a thread to address this. I have the superlative arms piston on my 14.5” with Vltor MUR upper and everything is fine. I swapped that carrier into the San Tan upper and there was the same binding/roughness so it’s the upper. At first it wouldn’t chamber a new round. Several rounds later and I had several failure to feeds and double feeds. By the time I had the scope dialed in I had put about 30 rounds through it and it fed the last 5 without issue ejecting at exactly 3 o clock. I’m going to go through 100 and if at that point it isn’t 100% functional I guess I’ll go with a superlative arms block and JP FMOS.

18" Proof carbon fiber 6ARC barrel with Rogue Ops receiver set and rail. HUXWRX Flow 762 Ti and LRA Scout bipod. Kahles K525i in SIG mount. Weight of rifle alone is 6 LB 12.6 OZ. Pretty light for a 1000 yard gun!
Either Hornady put out an amazingly accurate lot of 108 ELD-M or this is a magic barrel. At 100 yards, the first three shots touched. All four five shot groups were under 1/2 MOA.

IME the Proof barrels are the ticket, it's the Hornady LOT that is the crap shoot. I saw a .390" 5-round group with 108's in the 18" Proof, best I've seen in the 14.5" is right at .500" but the newer LOT's of 108's have been hit or miss.
Still a work in progress. I have a few things to paint and then she’s done until I upgrade the optic to something else.

Thanks man! It’s been a long process but I’m finally satisfied with it until I can justify a scope upgrade.
Here’s the list and another picture I took today. I still have a few parts to paint on the 16” and the 14.5 is going to get a complete camo job with Rapco paint. Just waiting on the weather to warm up.
Some of my newer ARs and MCX rifles. I do love the Geissele Super Duty rifles (the ATACR is a bit of overkill for me, but looks cool) The MCX in 11.5" is completely awesome. Unity works well with T2 and Cheapo Aimpoint P magnifier. Also, using Unity T2 mount as a rear sight and SCALAR WORKS compact flip up front sight I prefer Surefire cans do to the low flash signature, but I'm testing a Griffin EXPLORR 224 with B+T Surefire QD HUB mount, its a pretty cool adapter that allows a HUB mount to attach to a Surefire muzzle device. I'm not sure I see any advantage to the Griffin can (it's not that light or cheap, even with a titanium HUB direct thread, but it's supposed to be tough). The 11.5" SuperDuty With 1.93" Scaler Works mount and T2, is being tested with a Surefire RC-3, but it runs fine with an RC-2, so I'm not sure I got anything out of reduced back pressure and extra $$$ of the RC-3. The MCX LT Rattler in 300 (put the 5X on there to be funny) is a little problematic still. I need to have some work done to cycle subs properly with the SOCOM SPS 300 suppressor. I have another 16" MCX (not shown) that I sent back to Sig for "barrel flex". It came back solid, but I still have not fired it, thinking of selling it. I cut off a 16" Noveske barrled bottom rifle, its fine, but I gave up on Noveske barrels with suppressors because the gas ports are too big IMHO.
