Just curious...why put a bipod on a light weight build? I know the Harris is light (I have one on my DMR clone), but typically bipods are associated with heavier builds disigned for accuracy with heavier target barrel profiles. Most (not all) light weight builds are typically done as highly mobile carbines where precision shooting is not the objective.
Not knocking your build by any means, just curious to the intended use of the rifle since it is somewhat in between.
The intended use for this is to shoot paper targets at the range. I don't have any intention of going back to a sandbox.
The goal for this build is to have a little more reach than the standard M4 builds while keeping it light. That is why the barrel is 16 inches and it has a free float rail. Lightweight barrels hold accuracy under "normal" rates of fire (tight group at the range). So you're in-between comment is correct. Being that I spent years in the light infantry, weight is always a thought (probably around 6 pounds w/ bipod). If the SHTF, I wouldn't hesitate to grab this rifle.
Bipods provide stability and I don't think they are exclusive to purely long distance shooting builds. That's why you see grips with them built in.
Needs an iO cover on that Aimpoint
Have they been released into the wild?
Would like some detailed picks of the moutn if you could.
Thanks!
The "kickstarter" backers have been sent out, black only so far.
Look for them at a soon from TangDown.
Hey Mike, do you know if that cover will fit on a Primary Arms Micro Dot?
Is it very coastly to build an ar 15
