    Dude read my mind... Just what I came here for. Lol. I don't look at the pics sections to often for some reason. That just changed.
    Thanks EC. I think I'm going to get a PA ACSS as well but the cheap little 2.5x red dot one. Going for light and compact as possible.

      You will get more versatility out of a variable scope that has a true 1x capability. https://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/red...l-optic-right/

        Hey they are cheap, decent quality, and not the last optic I plan to buy and can forgo the irons (for now). Now let's see some rigs!

          Here's my gratuitous gun porn... Vltor receiver, 12" GB Faxon barrel, Smittybuilt 10" handguard, SLR adj gas block, WMD carrier, GB bolt, AAC 51T muzzle/suppressor mount, AAC SDN-6 Suppressor, SBR registered lower... Currently sporting a SWFA 1-6... No rounds down field yet, hopefully next week...

            Very nice. You will have to let me know what kind of Accuracy you're getting with the Faxton barrel.
            If they ever do another run I might have to pick one up.

                    I love how these almost appear to be standard length rifles with the can attached instead of the bulky looking full length with the can hanging way out front of a skinny barrel. For anything within 250yds this should be sweet.

                      129gr ABLR will be the round to beat for these SBR's..... you are looking at about 600 yards for effective expansion.

                        Unfortunately, those can't be found anymore unless I'm mistaken
