Swapped out my linear comp on this 11.5” 5.56 AR pistol to a 5050 shroud from our newest sponsor
Have you got to shoot it yet? I’d like to hear your thoughts on function. Also, care to post a full length pic of the gun?

Took a couple shots today. It was more pleasant than the 7.5” w/ riot brake. 🤪Have you got to shoot it yet? I’d like to hear your thoughts on function. Also, care to post a full length pic of the gun?

Not sure it’s much different than with the linear comp, as I didn’t shoot it both ways today. I swapped mainly for aesthetics.

I love all of these but I especially love those shortiesAfter perusing the thread about where do you store your ammo, I emptied half of a safe storing 16 50 cal ammo cans filled with loose ammo. Took the opportunity to rearrange and a group family photo.
Have not yet decided what optic to put on the HK, Probably the Steiner 1-4.
First, this is gorgeous. Looks like an absolute joy to handle.It's an 11" PWS with a Turbo K on the end. It's my primary gun (for good reason) and I will never change it unless I go through with getting the 10.5" LWRC IC-A5.

I've not shot it nearly as much as I'd like, but when I have it is amazing. The Turbo K takes so much more off the 5.56 signature than you'd think. The length is great, but I could see a 10.5 being slightly better. I do plan to use this gun for a Carbine class or 2 once my plates come in and I can finish one of my carriers.First, this is gorgeous. Looks like an absolute joy to handle.
Second, taking pictures of guns is hard but you did a really good job here
That's awesome. Post a vid sometime.I've not shot it nearly as much as I'd like, but when I have it is amazing. The Turbo K takes so much more off the 5.56 signature than you'd think.

The Magpul MLOK kit but using just the handstop and no covers.That's awesome. Post a vid sometime.
What is that handstop? I love it and want one for my 9mm pistol
Springfield saint.
13.7” barrel with dead air brake pinned/welded on, making it 16.3”
Yes saint edge. It was a 16” before. I’m not sure on the trigger, but whatever trigger is in this thing is super light and has a very short reset. It can be fired very fast.I guess that is the Saint Edge? That billet lower is pretty sweet! Hadn't seen those. Did you get the "modular match trigger", or have you tried it? Just curious.
Decided to scratch the itch of Krylon. I'll post final pics when I'm done. I like it so far.

Haven't shot it yet, but hoping to this weekend. The built in BUIS is pretty cool, and it actually comes with a front post too that you can put into the front of the mount. Short short sight radius though, but if you were just needing something for CQB and wanted to keep a front iron off your rifle (like because you were running a light laser combo, etc) it would likely suffice.I was just reading up on that mount and it seems there is a built in rear BUIS. That's pretty cool. Like it?
I didn't think the XM177 barrels were so thick.@Dan0311…
Looks to be an upper from an XM177.
The "real deal"... very niceMy favorite AR in the AR stable: A 1967 SP1.

And while I'm here: Can anyone tell me more about this extremely heavy upper I bought in around 1991? (Thx!)

Not my fault but def some influence and pressure lolololTook these pics of the Super Duty for the 'Gram yesterday and figured I'd post them. I hate that I've gotten on this tanodized kick. I somehow blame @Flipside1212

And here's one with direct sunlight. Lots of peanut butter!

Snazzy stuff and I like the light.One of my favorite ARs that I assembled earlier last year. I'm constantly swapping out parts to try. Started out with BCM receivers and this is how it sits now. She's been to a couple carbine courses and has never failed me at any time. It doesn't look like it, but it's very light. The Midwest Industries Ultralight rail and the Leupold Multigun LPVO keeps the weight way down.

That's cute. I remember when I had my first beer...Just watching a movie with my fiends. Nothing to see here.View attachment 358033

1. These uppers feature my Limited Life Time Warranty.
2. High Pressure Testing followed by Magnetic Particle Inspection assures a rock solid bolt.
3. 223 Wylde chamber increases accuracy and works with 5.56 NATO or .223 SAMMI spec ammunition.
4. Every upper is built by one person from start to finish.
5. I guarantee that every SPR Upper will hold sub-MOA groups and prove that by sending you a picture of the test!
6. I custom fit the rail/upper, chamber/bolt, gas block/barrel, and comp/flash hider interfaces to insure a highly accurate build.
7. We align our barrel blanks to 2/10000 of an inch bore alignment before threading or chambering!
8. These are uppers are built for pushing the 5.56 to ranges unheard of before. I use the Gritters or Two Line method to chamber my SPR barrels. It adds UP MOA to the shot allowing you more elevation at distance.
Quality Assurance
Every single upper that Johnson Tactical produces is fully tested before delivery to the customer. We feel your paying for quality and our job is to insure that is what you are getting! We start by manually inspecting every part, then as the build progresses it’s fit with the other components. Some parts are hand fitted to ensure tighter tolerances. A good example of this is the gas block to barrel fit. This needs to be precise to eliminate gas leaks
