Grey Ghost builder kit with 16” Douglas SPR build

[B Man]

Finished this one up the other day. Wanted me a shorter and lighter SPR’ish 5.56. Couldn’t find much on the Douglas barrels by CLE in the Tactical/Recon profile so figured I’d share. Btw another member on here I did talk to that had great results with his barrel. I just finished a light break in on the barrel, cleaned, fouled, and started load work up with 1x LC brass, I think it’ll be a hummer. Going to test it out a little farther with this load shortly to see if it’s repeatable. Oh and the gun is extremely flat and smooth shooting with the Vltor A5 system even being a mid length gas system I really like it!

I will possibly swap out the optic to a lower power & smaller package.
1-10 lpvo (open to suggestions) or 2-10 (Trijicon credo). I’m trying the trigger, wanted to give it a spin.

Got a chance to shoot that load some more and try it at 500 yards. I had 8 rounds left so I shot one as a sighter, corrected then shot these 7 rounds out. I’m settled on a load to throw for it now and very happy with how it has turned out for a shorter lightweight rifle. I’ll probably throw a smaller optic on it now.

Good looking and deadly. Well done.

Incredible build. I just got two CLE Douglas barrels and I'm excited to try them out. I want to see Molon test this barrel.

For the cost it’s hard to beat

I built a 6 ARC with 18” Proof off of a GG set. It’s 1/2-5/8 MOA with Hornady Black. Just completed the large frame GG build but haven’t shot it yet.

They were running some killer deals on the large frame set around Christmas. I almost bought it but decided to go with an Aero m5 enhanced set for the more monolithic style handguard. That thing looks killer!

I have a T6xi on my Mega mml set, really liking that optic.

Nice build!

Im running a few of those parts in my small and large frame builds, I'm really enjoying the CMMG Zeroed ambi mag release in both small and large frame.

The War Hammer CH has also been working out great for my small frame builds.

Thanks Jake.
Yeah I installed the MK3 zeroed lpk in my large frame build I’m working on too. Everything worked perfect except the bolt catch, to wide on the top so I switched it up. I was hesitant on the Warhammer Ch but it had great reviews and watched a torture test and it test every bit as good as the radian so I tried it. Still like my radian charge handles but I’ll take the warhammer at 1/2 cost. I did change out the trigger lately to a Larue mbt2-s too.

Ive got a couple TriggerTechson on order now, really looking forward to testing the new Single Stage AR15 Diamond in a 20" CLE Match Bartlein build Ina Seeki s Receiver Set I'm working on now. I helped @impactaddict with a similar setup, looking forward to his results as well.

Those 16" CLE Douglas barrels are a great value and solid performers.

Those trigger techs are sooooo smooth. The break is amazing! I almost put one in the large frame build I’m working on using your 6.5creed m110 profile from CLE (about 9 weeks to go I think) but I am going to install another Geissele SD-E in it. Have it in my box of goodies.
