DPMS 1:12 fluted stainless .204 Ruger barrel on high riser upper with free floated hand guard. The upper is allegedly stiffer and stronger and supposed to be more accurate than a standard A2 or A3. We'll see. The guy that built it claims it can shoot .3 MOA with good handloads, .5 MOA with 32 grain Hornady V-Max.
Lower is a Double Star with California Rifles U15 stock and DPMS Lower Parts Kit.
Optics will eventually be a 6-24-50 or so...going to have to shop around for that one though...
I saw it, sorry, didn't reply, sounds nice. .204, what sort of range are you expecting? That is pretty small caliber, like 14mmish? MOA? I wouldnpt mind getting some sort of rifle, keep my practice up....
I messed around with a 13x scope from my radar on my M16A2 in the gulf war.... But never fired with it, never did start shooting there... Some did thought..... If I got into shooting, I was in deep kimshee...
That's a good looking rig but it would look better with a Magpul PRS stock and a PSGI grip. Gotta hate California for that! :nono: I'm anxious to see how it shoots when you get it all together.
Actually not very well, in direct fire mode like the M1's do (M1A2 IIRC in at least the 3rd pic down...) there isn't a ballistic trajectory, it won't see it, it has to cross the horizon.... Bummer eh?
I'm not saying that the M1s have anything near the firepower of the howitzers, I'm just pointing out a good weapons system that can deal some punishment while rolling.
IIRC, M1s can call fire support from arty units, correct?
So how much sideways motion does that push it? Look at the front of the ship (sorry guys! I am not up on my ship talk!) It is MOVING sideways!
Now, question is, do they use peacetime firepower and wartime? The Army does. BIG difference. The 8in guns with "charge 15 whitebag" will knock your socks off! Hope you like major chest compression even at 1 mile away!
They rolled that out just after I got out. We had, hahahaha, TACFIRE! Talk to the "old timers" who worked with it..... DINOSAURS would be more advanced! It is like smoke signals compared to AFATDS....
What you have now is around 100000000000000000000x better!!! And around 5 tons lighter.... LITERALLY!
13 bang bangs as we called them, or rocks.... You probably know the 13R then, those are the radar operators.... Look for your 13RX5's, I was a 39CX5, the support for them....
Interesting read...until the very last paragraph on the second page. *scowl*
Range report on the new .204 Ruger AR-15 forthcoming soon. We're doing a range day on Sunday if its not windy. Hopefully it'll rain so no one else will be there, but I sure hate the wind...
