SPR
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!

Beautiful indeed.

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".

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.

New Toy
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!

Nice Job...
LOL
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. "

Excuse to buy a new gun
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?
