Did you bed the barrel or get a tight fit upper? Don't know you could bed a AR barrel. I smoothed out the inside of the upper where the barrel goes in with 000 steel wool just a bit. Gave it a layer of 3% molly so it goes in easy. Then did the deal with the barrel nut where your toque it to 35 let it set undo it and repete three times. Mollyed the treads real good and torqued it to 45lbs. Will say though spend at least 30min just trying to get the barrel nut trimmed right so I could get it the gas tube to go in.

Hogs at night? Consider a vortex or one of the better flash hiders so you don't blind yourself with flash.
Future can? Big can of worms.
Can't decide yet? A2 birdcage is cheap. Going to primary be a coyote / target rig for day work but it probably will end up going on NV duty. Looking hard at doing a form one suppressor soon

Some guys do green locktite to fill the void, others shims if it's a wide gap, I've seen one video of bonds and turning for a press fit. You can buy small diameter uppers or large shank barrels for an interference fit. The new bravo mk2 upper is one.
Just wondering just how anal you are with it.
Truth be told just making sure the faces are square and evenly bearing is all you need.
Thanks for the information, researching right now

Go for the Arkon you won’t regret it, great scope for the money, you might also look at Primary arms scopes, either will do you proud

Really wish they had a standard mild dot ret though, was looking at the Primary armed SLX a while ago strictly because of that but I'm going to be doing a lot of dialing so guess it won't be that bad. For trying to stay under the $350 mark I can't complain too much I guess lol

I like the concept of the ACSS reticles PA offers, particularly in FFP, do all your holdover on the reticle without all the dialing. I'm okay at math but not mils, moa I understand, and I just know I couldn't keep count of clicks, lol. Thing that gets me with those deals is their more or less set up to be a minute of man type of thing
