First rounds through the new gas gun and I couldn’t be much happier. Printed just over a minute with 118LR and probably had more in it if I took more time. Holds were stable and easy mode to 600, 750 required a bit of work with crosswinds but no big drama.

Two FTFs on some ancient “special ball” but the other 60 rounds all did their thing. Recoil was modest, this old Mega barrel is beautifully gassed. It’s a *bit* overgassed with the can but not to the point where I feel compelled to do anything about it. Vigorous 2PM ejection with the can, 3PM without it. Works for me.

Dispensed some freedom thru the Arcfire V2 this evening, runs like a top with an OCM5 and the gas turned *way* down. ROF feels great, timing feels great. Gassy but that’s showbiz

11.x” Centurion CHF that’s chopped down. BRT .057 gas tube. OCM5. Noveske SBR lower, hodgepodge upper. Tiger stripe long sleeve for good vibes.

Newest rifle managed to avoid spray paint for I think 5 days, then I got antsy and broke out the Rapco.

This is mostly field drab with some earth brown and lusterless olive drab mixed in. FWIW, this shade of olive dries very similarly to field drab so while it’s a nice accent, don’t use it if you’re trying to create significant contrast.

First large frame gas gun so trying to stick to fairly known quantity stuff. Going for a practical 600-750YD weapon that isn’t a complete pig and holds up to wind better than 77gr. Waiting on the can but otherwise this is pretty close.

The included bolt catch doesn’t reach the bottom bolt lugs, which is…interesting. Seems like a not so unusual large frame issue? I may remove some material where it contacts the plunger to increase range of travel.

Whole ass bottle of clp burst in the bin that these live in when not being used so I figured I’d take some pictures while cleaning it out. I was too lazy to grab the gun belt but it’s standard fare Axl. By all means make fun of my baofeng, patches, whatever.

Favorite and most useful thing here is the platatac pack, it’s really nicely executed. We all know what the deal is with SPCs, the base rig is a T3 spear that I’ve messed around with. Happy to answer any questions.

I re-painted this lower and while it was drying I decided to play optics/laser musical chairs. It balances really well but I may have jumped the shark on this one, no clue what this is gonna be useful for.

At least it looks cool.
