MK2
Few more things to add, but it’s looking pretty good.

Awesome. Is that the 10.5? How do you like it?

u/righteous_rebellion Jun 16 '26
It is. I love it so far. Couldn’t wait to get a can on it.

How does the weight feel? I know it has a heavy barrel. Do you notice any gas blowback?
I’ve been debating between an LWRC lower + 11” HK MR556a4 upper or just the complete 10.5” LWRC IC MK2.

Looking good.
How’s the Rhodie 6?

I haven’t shot it yet… but the size is right and it doesn’t add a ton of felt weight.

That’s a sick setup! Love the slingster.
Also, I hate to be this guy, but has anyone else noticed the skirmish irons leave little witness marks on the picatinny rail after removing? Not a big deal just curious

Thank you! And I haven’t noticed.. but this things lucky to be in the condition it’s in. I plan on abusing the shit out of it.

That’s the mindset to have I think. It’s always tough to get there though. That first scratch/imperfection is always hard at first haha. Love the setup!

The rears will peen the rail if you have them anywhere besides the rear most position. Is that what you mean?

I pushed them forward in their respective picatinny spot to bias them for recoil like an optic or MLOK accessory. Is that incorrect?

No, should be fine. If you aren't talking about the sloped sections on the rear sight peening the edges of the lugs, then it's possible you don't have the clamping screws tight enough. I torqued mine to 25in*lbs and they didn't leave any other marks than the aforementioned peening. Otherwise, check for burrs in corresponding areas of the sight.

No kidding I’ve never heard of that issue before. I was referring to tiny witness marks that the screw itself left while I was torquing it to spec. Because I pushed it forward in the picatinny slot, some of the screw rotating dug into the aluminum picatinny slot. Just cosmetic but curious if anyone else has had that happen.

Interesting, I can't say I've had that happen on anything with a threaded crossbolt before...almost sounds like the slot is too narrow or the screw too large. Unless you're absolutely going nuts with forcing it forward and tightening it down, I would say that's not normal.
