I was talking with Dave at Druid Hill Armory and he happened to mention he had purchased some 28" Liberty barrels and that he had been getting some great velocity out of his. So I purchased one off of him and my hunting partner, Ben, got one of my uppers rebarreled with it. I added a Monster Bolt and Aero Breach charging handle from SixFiveOutfitters. The upper went onto an LMT lower with an LMT 2-stage trigger. This will be sighted with a Fusion Thermal Avenger 40 weapon sight I will be testing for the next few weeks.
With suppressor and collapsed stock, 51" long. Weight without magazine is 13.1 lbs
Before all is said and done, I hope to run a variety of ammo through it to see what sort of velocities I can get. Dave tells me even 140 gr. ammo can get over 2500 fps and I am hoping that Federal Speer TNT 90s will be over 2900 fps. I will get some preliminary chrono results on Friday, but if the temps stay cold, I may hold off on much ammo testing until temps are over 50 degrees.
I am thinking that with the extra velocity, Chinese balloons won't be an issue, so hogs should be no problem (if I can find them).
