Is this a gimmick? Actually seems like it would be pretty nice?

Saw this come across my instagram and I have to say I am intrigued. It seems like it's relatively not cumbersome and I truly think it would be useful. Kind of lines up really nicely to brace your support arm and steady the rifle.

Running the Atlas Erebus

Previously ran an XC. Bought an Apollo and honestly found it kind of uninspiring.... So eventually caved and bought an Erebus. Really happy with it. It truly is a joy to shoot. No bully about 40yo man run.

6ARC vs 6.5CM

Finally got my MRGGA all set up. After running it a little yesterday, my initial impression just remind me how fantastic of a cartridge 6ARC is. The AR15 is just such a more nimble platform and so much more enjoyable to handle. I would choose the 6ARC over the 14.5 6.5 every day of the week. Granted I'm shooting paper/steel so final energy on target is not important to me, but these shorty 6arcs will really do anything you need it to out to 1000yds. The size and weight tradeoff just doesn't make sense for me.

SCAR Day? Hell Yeah.

SCAR 20 in .308. Purchased in 6.5CM, but couldn't get it to run suppressed so bought a .308 OEM Barrel

SCAR 17 13inch SBR

SCAR 16 10 SBR

Battle Bois. Curious Which Most Would Choose

Curious which one yall would choose? Price aside. Which one would you rather run? The SCAR is way more expensive with all of the upgrades. Accuracy is tough to know. Only ever run the SCAR with a 3.5 acog, but my scar 20 is LIGHTS OUT. Reliability the SCAR is next level. It just feels like it will always cycle. No question. It does recoil a little harder, but it always cycles no matter what. The MR762 feels more nimble though despite being basically the same length. The build quality is impressively different. The SCAR feels like a conscript gun. Extruded aluminum. Wobbles and shakes. The MR762 feels like perfect German craftsmanship.

Personally. I would probably move the 1-10/ACRO over to the SCAR and choose it.

One Upvote and I'll buy the 16.5 upper kit for the MR762

Just saw the 9Hole reviews video on G28. I've got a 4-16 ATACR laying around and it really makes me want to get one and throw it on there.

Form 1'd MR556: The Tisha has grown on me. I got a munkworks zero hub adapter and that has shortened it up and made it look better. I ended up putting in a 1.0 vent screw so I could run the suppressed setting with the TISHA and its gassed pretty damn well like that. Haven't shot it unsuppressed with the 1.0 vent so not sure how much more violent it will be. EMAG for the aesthetic, but don't actually use them. They kinda suck. Im kinda surprised magpul actually released them and didnt just say uncle. We can't make a clear mag worth of our name.

SBR MR762: Having proprietary buffer tube and stock kinda sucks, but it's growing on me. Might end up getting an HK stock for the MR556 for the look. Bought some smaller vent screws so I can hopefully run the DD in the suppressed setting. Right now it requires the unsuppressed setting and without a can it doesn't really want to reliably cycle 147 PMC Bronze or 168 FGMM so I'm hoping that be dropping the vent screw it'll also run unsuppressed reliably. With a can and in the unsuppressed setting it's great.

HK MR762

MR762 SBR.

I own an MR556. It's a great rifle, but I've been somewhat critical of it. In my opinion of the big 3 (KS3,Specwar,MR556) I think it takes last place, but for whatever reason, Ive been drawn to the MR762. Maybe for the same reason the MR556 takes last place. I just don't care about match accuracy out of an 11inch 556 gun with a red dot. But a 13in full sized cartridge gun with an LPVO with a match barrel? thats interesting to me.

It's a work in progress. Black area 419 mount is on order. I hate the color of the GenIII razor, but I hate ATACRs rotating eyepiece and Im not dropping ZCO money for a 2-10 for .308 (because I hate .308) so I'll have to sit and be annoyed with the color clash.

Also. Fuck these mags. theyre 2x4s and out of stock everywhere.

Also. The small HK on the handguard not matching the HK logo on the MR556 irritates my autism.

Also. The rail height on the MR762 is impressive. I typically much prefer top mounted red dots, but this is just too much. I had to go with a side mount plate on the area 419 scope mount

Also. The plastic ejection port cover bothers me. I know it's the gucci belt of the gun world, but I like putting FCD EPCs on all of my guns. I was very annoyed to learn its not a standard sized ejection port so the .308 FCD EPC won't fit on an MR762

Gen 6 Glock 17 Ramjet

I searched the sub and saw some conflicting info. Has the gen 6 Glock 17 version shipped at all yet? Ive had a preorder at Glockstore since February. Was there a batch that was released and I was just too far down the preorder list to get my order filled? Or has it not shipped yet?

Proof Carbon Fiber PXT 20in 6.5 Grouping (140gr ELDM)

2558fps

I finally made it out to zero my "MRGG-S". I got to say the hype is real. 0.43in group. Granted that was the best group of the day, but honestly the other groups weren't that far off. I'm pretty impressed.

This is my first carbon fiber barrel so I don't really know what to expect. I did feel it heated up pretty quick. It seemed a bit more inconsistent as it heated up quicker than stainless barrels ive shot, but I might be imagining that. I didnt put a ton of rounds through it and was mostly just getting it zeroed in. I reserve final judgement on that after I actually get it outside and run a course with it.

Obviously I can't comment on the barrel life stuff since I just got it.

As for the rotational kick/inertia decrease. I'd have to shoot it back to back with a regular barrel to notice it. It's an 18lb rifle with a braked suppressor. It shot kind of how I expected it too. Not much jump.d

I'm sorry CAT Dirty Dave, I wasn't familiar with your game.

I greatly prefer short cans with minimal backpressure on the gun. Don't care too much about sound suppression. Battle rifles have always been problematic for me since I hate running giant full size cans on already heavy rifles. I use a HUX FLOW on a 13in SBRd SCAR 17, but it's super long, titanium and is a suppressor in name only. Great for outside work, but basically just a blast shield indoors.

So when I preordered an LMT MRGG-A (Over a year ago..) I thought I would give the DD a shot. I ordered one and have had it for over a year just sitting in my safe (still no MRGG-A yet..). I ordered it kind of when it was first introduced so there really wasn't a ton of info out there about it. Over the past year I've kind of seen the lukewarm impression of it play out online and just kind of chalked it up to a loss.

This past weekend I bought a 13in HK MR762. Was thinking about buying a Sandman X for it since Ive heard decent things and I think the Laz 6 is a great can, but thought what the hell, I'll try the DD out on it.

This thing is AWESOME. I don't know what everyone is talking about being lukewarm on it. Sounds great for its size and is super low back pressure. Gun won't run in the suppressed setting using 168gr FGMM or 147 PMC bronze and requires the unsuppressed setting. I'm very impressed.

Granted it's a specialty can and apparently sucks on anything but large frame SBRs. Another win for CAT. Will likely buy a 2nd one if my MRGG-A ever shows up.

"MRGG-S"

Built for a mountain precision rifle class this fall.

Really excited to test out these new Proof PXT Barrels (converted by DWilson). The accuracy tests floating around the internet have been impressive and hopeful the barrel life claims are real for 6.5CM.

20in Proof CF PXT 6.5 Barrel

Triggertech Diamond

Fletcher Rifle Works Texas Flood with Recoil-X Brake (Titanium OCL Infinity)

ZCO 5-27 with Impact 4000 in an area 419 mount

Dwilson MWS Arca Rail

SG Pulse Pro

Riflespeed Gas block (Typically dislike AGBs, but very painful to tune large frame gassers especially 6.5CM without them in my experience.

And the reason for the QD mlok right next to the factory QD slot is because the factory is rotating and there is nothing more infuriating than the sling spinning on itself. Plus its nice to remove the back qd attachment and clip it into the open qd when clipped into a tripod to keep the sling out of the way.

Just couldn't resist getting the king. Glad I did. Erebus V3.

I bought my first Atlas a month ago. An Apollo V3. I had always heard all about Atlas guns so wanted to try one out. I own an XC, P, XL. I liked the Apollo a lot, but it honestly left me wanting for more. Comparing it to the XC, the only thing I could say was that if I had perfect grip, its return to zero was much quicker and consistent. But if I didnt have perfect grip, it would punish you. The XC is much more forgiving.

So when I had a chance to buy an Erebus last week I jumped on it. Really glad I did. What they say is true. After a few hundred rounds I can definitely say I like it better than my XC whereas I could take or leave the Apollo over the XC

Suppressor Recommendation for 20in LMT MWS 6.5 Precision Gun

Pic for attention. That's a 13.9in 6ARC SBR.

Hello,

Really struggling with what suppressor to go with on a new build. Will be 20in Proof PXT carbon fiber barrel in an LMT MWS upper/lower. The Proof 6.5 barrels are Rifle+2 gas tubes. I hate adjustable gas blocks in general, but have found they are a necessary evil on large frame gassers so you don't tear your hair out, so I have a rifle speed on order.

Will be used for a mountain practical precision course out to 1-1.2k yards. I have innumerable suppressors, but am kind of hankering for something new and exciting.

The obvious choice is a Hux 7.62, which I have, but honestly, it doesn't interest me. I have a 718 and titanium ODB, but even by CAT's admission, it's not the most efficient can for 6.5CM

Have an inconel CAT DD and thinking about that can, but I know it's generally disliked on the forum and I'd prefer the titanium one for this application (which is out of production). My JL is too high backpressure, but sweet on a bolt gun. My Hyperion is too damn long and high back pressure. Enticer and Nomad, same story.

Any other suggestions? Really wish the CAT VB7 was out.

EDIT: I bought a fletcher Texas Flood Recoil X

Barrel Recommendations for 20in 6.5CM LMT Barrel Conversion

Taking a practical precision course in a few months. Distances from 100-1000yds. Have a 6.5 bolt gun that would work, but wishing to bring a gas gun and settled on building an LMT MWS with the 15.3 upper that I'll put a 5-27 ZCO on. Not excited about using an OEM LMT 20in barrel simply because I haven't had the greatest experience with LMT barrels and accuracy (I'm looking at you 3MOA OEM specwar barrel...). Will have some hiking involved so wanting to keep it lighter and would prefer fluting or dimpling. Could also consider a Proof carbon fiber barrel, but don't love the "rifle +2" gas tube length and the gas block sticking so far out.

Any suggestions?

Update: I went with a 20in Proof CF PXT
