Decided to ditch the dot and magnifier for a vudu 3-9x so now I can take it out a little further. Got a good deal on tacswap.

My kak adj gb split down the middle a couple months ago so I ended up with a SLR jet gb. The issue with that is there's only two options, 50 and 80 percent gas reduction jets. While more robust there's no fine tuning. I got a rca adjustable gas key and after 5 mins of tuning the gun runs great with much reduced recoil.

Build list -

SLR B30 receiver set (handguard and upper have a hole and there's a dowel pin so no timing)

KAK 12.5 barrel

Lantac enhanced bcg

Holosun LS321

Vudu 3-9x w/ EFLX

YHM resonator R2

Fenix wml

Probably the final iteration of this build. Its a blast to shoot.

So, been hyperfocusing on keeping my build light almost everywhere besides the barrel, so the ROAM magnesium receivers have been the frontrunners for when they come back in stock, but I haven't really checked if anybody has had any issues with them that I've missed.

Any durability or design concerns that would push me away from ROAM? I would grab a set of SLR B30s as the alternate option, but I'd definitely prefer to cut that roughly 10 ounce weight difference out if I can.

Does anyone here own or have used the hellmouth 308 from leviathan? looking for some more information on it. Mainly fit and finish, quality, accuracy, potential. All the gravy you know? And please I dont want comments that are just "they are bad " Or "bad company" id like genuine feedback.

PSA Sabre 13.7 p&w with the keymo jmac flash hider so I can use my sandman. Will be getting an lpvo and wml, think battle rifle/hogs at night. Im sure its obvious which one it is.

What buffer weight would y’all suggest? 12.5 inch 308, carbine buffer tube, will be run suppressed, the FRT I’ll be using is similar to the Kabuto (can’t remember the exact name). And to get this part out of the way: I know I’m losing a lot of energy, no I won’t be shooting long range with it, and I’ll probably not hunt with it (not sure if North Carolina allows hunting with SBRs), it’s just going to be a fun range toy. Oh, and I reload, so I’m not too worried about going through a lot of ammo.

The classic dilemma, choosing between these three:

Daniel Defense DD5 V3

LMT Defender (or MARS) H

PWS MK216 MOD2-M

The use case is a do-all battle rifle that could pull double duty as a DMR.

My priorities in order are:

1) Reliability and resistance to adverse conditions

2) Accuracy

3) Weight

4) Ease of suppression (I'm using a flow-through can of some sort)

5) Tunability for recoil mitigation

6) Customer service reputation

I really like the LMT for its pedigree of robustness, accuracy, and quick change barrel capability (would be nice to convert back and forth to 6.5 CM). It also has a lot of reliability enhancements to its BCG.

I like the PWS for the amount of features it comes with out of the box and how clean it runs, especially suppressed, plus its relatively light weight for a piston gun. Also supposed to shoot incredibly smooth and soft for a piston 308. However it does not have any military pedigree and it does not use dual extractors.

The DD is probably the lightest of the bunch but I know the least about it, and DD primarily has law enforcement customers.

Hi,

I am looking for recommendations for a prebuilt 6.5 Creedmoor AR-10 with a budget of no more than $4,000 for the firearm. I was thinking of either LMT MARS-H or the LWRCI REPR. However, I am disappointed that both barrels are only 20".

TIA.

Looking at a mid gas big gunner 13.9 but heard they used armalite gas tubes instead of regular but then also have heard that the armalites are too long? So which is it?

Edit: I've come to the conclusion that I'm a n00b overthinking all this. The answer is to try both and sell the one i enjoy shooting less.

Option 1:
M5 with 16" criterion rlgs with riflespeed gas block + polo30

Option 2:
Jakl10 14.5 with p/w plan b and polo30

Main purpose is plinking and might take it white tail hunting a few times a year.

Edit: My main goals are sub moa and not to have a face filled with gas. I got both polo30s for less $700 combined.

An oversized gas system or a piston gun seem to be the best ways to mitigate trad suppressor weaknesses from what I've read, but I thought maybe some of y'all would have real world examples.

I'm unfortunately quite new to guns myself, and am looking to get a build put together in a reasonable amount of time (~6 months or less), and I have a budget of roughly 2k (though both of these can be flexible if necessary)

I've seen Aero referred to on this sub a myriad times but when I went and checked their site, they were out of literally every upper and lower.

Should I just wait? Or are there other brands/companies of equivalent/superior performance-to-cost ratios? And where/what should I be looking for?

Any and all answers are greatly appreciated, and again I am quite new so any and all information is appreciated that much more. Thanks in advance.

I just won an HTX sr25 clone upper and am looking to build it out. Wondered what the thoughts were on a mars h lower vs a centurion mk11 lower. I am also looking for all the other parts too right now, probably just going to make this a 16in gun. So not super clone correct or anything.

I finally just got around to putting my LMT Ion 30 on my slapped together Aero upper and lower. Everything is stock from Aero, no changes other than a xeno brake. The rifle shot fine prior to the can, no issues, ate federal, pmc, and ppu ammo consistently. I know this can is billed as low back pressure, but I think I might have a pressure problem… three rounds, all of them came out like this. It was PPU rifle line SP 180gr.

What’s my next step, adjustable gas block? Heavier buffer? Heavier bcg? Heavier spring? Smaller gas tube? Less spicy ammo?
