This rifle was built to be simultaneously accurate and EXTREMELY fast. It has enough weight to be stable (6 LB 3 OZ) yet it's not so heavy as to slow the shooter down transitioning from target to target. With suitable ammunition in this 16" Criterion chrome lined, rifle length gas system barrel, this will shoot sub-MOA for many, many thousands of rounds. Shooting a gun like this - FAST!!! - requires learning new techniques, because the gun doesn't communicate with the shooter as we are accustomed to experiencing. The rifle barely moves when fired. The rifle length gas system in a 16" barrel produces a gas pulse unlike that of shorter, more conventional set ups. The Geissele SD-3G competition style trigger doesn't stack - It just rolls through. The Young Manufacturing SuperLite bolt carrier's minimal mass gives up little in the way of tactile information when it cycles. Out on the muzzle, the PRI/MSTN brake, designed by shooting phenomenon Taran Butler, ensures the muzzle stays pretty much where it was a nanosecond before the bullet left the barrel. BTW, it is NOT objectionably loud like other brakes out there! Recoil is nothing and the muzzle merely quivers a little. And it is now time for the shooter to repeat the process. The foundation for this rifle is the SanTan Tactical STT-15L receiver set. I defy you to find a receiver better made - or more visually attractive. The Criterion chrome lined rifle length gas system 16" barrel is in my mind the best value out there in a go-fast completion style barrel. There are a lot of good brakes out there, but the PRI/MSTN QC Brake designed by 3-Gun Champion Taran Butler is my favorite. It does everything a brake needs to do in the braking department without being obnoxiously loud plus counters rotational torque. We have lots of other choice parts in this build from Dark Hour Defense (aka "DHD") in the form of ionbond DLC coated SS push pins, magazine release, and short throw safety. The receiver end plate and nut are Ionbond DLC coated titanium, from V Seven. The recoil system is a simple carbine length with standard buffer, all that is needed with this gas system and lightweight bolt carrier. The stock is from MFT and the grip is the Magpul MOE K2. The magazine furnished with the rifle is a translucent Lancer 30-RD.
