KAK has both these available, and for some reason I am interested in them.
I typically prefer precision oriented complete uppers, when I buy a complete upper. ( most spare uppers I own I have assembled with precision oriented barrels. )
FWIW... I don't expect a KAK 11.5" upper to be a MOA "everyday" shooter. I accept it for what it is.
Both are MLGS.
1n5 twist, Fluted SS 11.5" barrel
1n7 Twist, phosphated 11.5" barrel
I will buy or the other... any valid reason NOT to get the 1n5 twist rate ?
Is the 1n5 twist rate just to fast for current match grade bullet jackets ?
I like the heavier , fluted profile of the 1n5 version... but again is that twist just to fast for any thinner jacketed 77gr match bullets ? ( first time with that fast of a twist )
Given the lack of meaningful dwell time of the gas system and GP size... could a LtWt BCG, low mass buffer setup "possibly" help allow it to function without a suppressor ? Any thoughts would be helpful in my choices.
And thoughts on a muzzle device ? ( until the suppressor arrives )
Recoil mitigation , and staying on target, flash suppression, would be the goals here. Surefire Warcomp ?
