Another Range Report

Post by Jayhawker »

I put this 18" AR together out of sheer boredom...It's a Palmetto .223 Wylde 1:7 Upper and a DSA lower...it has a LaRue 2-Stage Match trigger, A Burris 1-4 AR 223 Optic in a QD P.E.P.R. mount and a muzzle brake of unknown origin.....

The back-up sights are completely superfluous but I had them laying around...

Took advantage of my time in Kansas to function check the thing and get it zeroed..

Loaded it up with some 60 grain Hornady V-Max stuff I loaded a few years back and ran a target out to 50 yards and was surprised to find it on paper during the function check...Moved it out to 100 yards and 4 rounds later we were shooting Sub MOA groups...

I was questioning the wisdom if installing a brake on a .223, but ended up being quite pleased with the results...and the adjustable stock was quite nice as well...

Sub MOA out of a spare parts gun? Well done.

No, I enjoy watching the impact. Ain’t gonna happen without a brake.

I enjoy making the impact. If I miss, I can see where the dust kicks up here in Arizona. Brakes are too loud, and I've been around firearms and jet aircraft my entire life...

I love brakes. And suppressors.
