Just got a new iron built. SPR type, which is the 5.56 precision rifle on the ODA.
This rifle is sub-moa with the right ammo, and runs like a charm. Santa gave me the parts to finish it off for Christmas.
If I get hooked up this week, I will break it in and render a report.
Who else has new toys? Fess up!

Only new toy here is a Trilux (Brit scope system) for my FN-LAR. Once this thing gets to cooking and stable, I'll post a few pics of some of the "choice" members of the the "arsenal".

Hey, I'm not dead yet and you could always catch up!
Just stumbled on this thread from the Early days here.
TR - What Muzzle device is that? Looks Like an OPS brake, but I have been wrong once or twice (today)
How does it shoot? any new additions?

Yep, that is an OPS brake.
The barrel was not properly installed, so now I have a Lilja on it with a Phantom flash suppressor.
Also had to find the right load.
Current lower is running a JARD trigger.
Last time I shot it, I blew a nice ragged nine shot group which was just over 1/2 moa when I pulled the tenth round.
Decided to drop to five shot groups because my concentration was fading, got a group at .420" and the next was .410", so I would call it a half minute rifle on a good day. Pic of groups follows.

Does my new Marlin 1895G count? I pick it up after the waiting period...

Reaper,
I just picked up a Colt LEO rifle. Basically a M4 with a 16 inch barrel. Broke it in and zeroed it this past weekend.
Shoots nice.
I broke the bolt on my Bushmaster two weeks ago so I bought this Colt to have something to shoot until I get a new bolt.

Very nice toy!
Plus, outstanding use of a very marginal excuse to buy a new weapon!

I was thinking the same thing TR. I am going to try that one on my wife.
" Honey... I am out of ammo for this Bushmaster of mine. I am going to run on down and buy a new Barrett .50 cal, so I have something to shoot until I can acquire some more of this hard to find .223 stuff. "

Hey, what ever works to get a new gun!
How about this one:
My wife: "Why do you need to buy that gun?"
Me: "Because I don't have one yet!"
Of course I did kind of paint myself in a corner. Now she says: "That looks just like the other four 1911's you have."
Women, they just do not understand!
Nice gun Reaper, what ammo do you plan to shoot?

Well, I was getting crappy accuracy with the 75gr. BH and a couple of other 77 gr. loads. My buddy's 77gr. reloads started working well for me after some testing, so I will probably stick with his ammo till I find something better.

How do you like the OPS Brake?
I am checking out my options for a muzzle device other than the standard a2 birdcage that came on my Bushmaster. Looked pretty hard at the LeVang linear Comp and also at the Vortex.

My gunsmith did not like it, and the rifle never shot well with it. He builds a lot of Service Rifles and likes the issue suppressors. I prefer the Phantom or the Vortex.
I do know that a lot of the long range heavy caliber shooters like the Vais.
I guess the answer is to ask yourself what do you want to do with the rifle, then pick the suppressor that works best with that.
