This should make for a nice LMT rifle before too long. I took an old AAC Mini4 out of safe for the first time in 4-5 years, should be a good fit for the 14.5" to keep things short.

Little info on the rifle?
Black Fire Forge 10.5”. SBA3 brace. EOTech XPS2 sight. Huxwrx FLOW 5.56 can. JP LMOS and SCS.Deets bro
Did Garrett put in the JP stuff in house or did you add that later?Black Fire Forge 10.5”. SBA3 brace. EOTech XPS2 sight. Huxwrx FLOW 5.56 can. JP LMOS and SCS.
I added the extras. It started as a stock 917 short.Did Garrett put in the JP stuff in house or did you add that later?
You called a magazine a clip… argument invalid.Here is my latest build. Love LOVE LOVE the carbon fiber. Stays cool! Can run full clips through it and the barrel is cool enough to grab. Just avoid the Gas tube and block, that hurts.
You got me. I'm old enough to remember when we called the clips, for the Remington 22 I hunted with as a kid, a clip, and it just stuck.You called a magazine a clip… argument invalid.
I imagine even if you had to blood trail a deer its pretty easy!View attachment 7984018View attachment 7984020
Finally got the Hybrid for my deer rig this year. Rifle already has a few deer under its belt from years past, but now it will be a bit easier on the ears to shoot.
They generally don't go very far, and the woods hunting I do the most means you can see where they ran.I imagine even if you had to blood trail a deer its pretty easy!
Yes… an Atlas CAL gen 2. Just get one and be happier. And maybe a longer rail to maximize the benefit of a bipod.BCM 14.5" SOCOM, Aimpoint Pro in a QRP2 with SDK 1.93" riser.
Colt 6940 cut and pinned to 14.5" by Adco, NF NXS 2.5-10x42mm and a 1.54" 0moa Badger Ordinance mount.
Waiting for funds to recharge before I add an offset T2 to the 6940 and probably a Magpul bipod. Any one have better bipod recommendations for a shorty SPR?

When it comes to bipods, is there a preferred attachment method between pic and MLOK (as it pertains to leaning into the buttstock/bipod for stronger bracing)?Yes… an Atlas CAL gen 2. Just get one and be happier. And maybe a longer rail to maximize the benefit of a bipod.
Great info, thank you. The only experience I have with bipods is flat range with the 249. Also saw some guys mention that one of the benefits of the Atlas is that you can load the bipod because it mounts on "backwards." I figured this was done for "down range" purposes. But thinking about what you've said, it makes sense that not every scenario will allow for this.Picatinny is probably stronger, but most people are probably adding pic to their rifle with MLOK.
Just as an aside. I don't hard load my bipod. That is a static, (dirt) flat range only thing. When shooting from most other positions you will never find a way to replicate the same hard load. And on big AR10's you're not going to load into the gun enough to defeat the recoil. It will take you for a ride.( I'm 6' 4" 230lbs) The big circular motion you create during follow thru and recovery from the recoil pushing you back, your body mass returning to it's Natural Point of Aim(NPOA), and the bolt returning forward is a lot more motion than a hard rear hold. I use the bipod as a front rest and pull the gun back into me. Between the natural weight of my head on the stock, the pressure from a rear bag, and a rearward pressure from my firing hand grip I let the recoil come straight back. Instead of pushing forward, moving back, and then moving back forward again. This is replicable on smooth concrete, more similar of a zero on bags and barricades, etc.
The next time you're at the range shoot a group with a hard bipod load, a neutral load, and a hard rear hold. At the same POA. And watch a vertical zero deviation occur.
Longer rail isn't happening unless I replace the monolithic upper... the thought has crossed my mind.Yes… an Atlas CAL gen 2. Just get one and be happier. And maybe a longer rail to maximize the benefit of a bipod.
Probably pic rail. Pic rail is stronger than the slicker methods. Like the above guy said, pull the rifle into you. I used to push into the bipod but now am splitting it 50/50 (ish). You may also experience consistency issues as described above if you hard load the bipod.When it comes to bipods, is there a preferred attachment method between pic and MLOK (as it pertains to leaning into the buttstock/bipod for stronger bracing)?
Ah, I did not know that. Well, at least you’ll have zero flex in the handguard.Longer rail isn't happening unless I replace the monolithic upper... the thought has crossed my mind.

Subs. Mostly Hornady 190gr Sub-X.Are you running subs and supers through the TBAC? It needs a 762 QDC/CRS. I've been mulling over going back to the Elcan for the 14.5" recently, heavy but I have always been a fan.
C’mon. No one on here believes you ever stopped.Man, I really thought "night-schwacking" was something I did as a teenager.
I’d love to run some of those in my 300blk when my AFT suppressor bribe goes through. Issue is I haven’t been able to find any of that anywhere.Subs. Mostly Hornady 190gr Sub-X.
evidently, you didn't go blind. but do you have hairy palms?Man, I really thought "night-schwacking" was something I did as a teenager.
I have that same Crossman in FDE.
I worked with a guy once who, when he heard that, looked down at his hands… then looks back up at us and says “I don’t think that is true…”. He was looking very bewildered…evidently, you didn't go blind. but do you have hairy palms?
What is this groovy app you are using here?12.5 home brew criterion core with superlative arms gas piston system. All groups where shot from the prone off the magazine. Factory black hills 77gr smk loaded to 556 (red box). Last group was 8 rounds because I can't count to 10 I guess when loading a magazine

Are you shooting into water or gel and recovering bullets there?
Not sure why but I love those magpul rail covers. I got a fn military collector m4 and it had the knights armament covers and they made the girl a bit too thick.BCM 14.5" SOCOM, Aimpoint Pro in a QRP2 with SDK 1.93" riser.
