I've got a 14.5 pencil faxon on my competition AR it's wicked

but some super thicc gunshow 10.5 on my fighting gun and it's just fine for what its for

My fighting gun has an 11.5" chf chrome lined tapered barrel from FN. Actually pretty nice so far, though I haven't measured accuracy. I'm guessing given that it's on a bcm upper it's probably hovering around 1moa with good ammo

nice. my thing is heat. pencil with mlok gets uncomfy after a mag if you're doing small unit shit

Cools off faster though. I like the tapered or gunner profile because it's a nice tradeoff, and I hate government profile barrels

yeah, but if you need to do battle drills you wont have time to cool off. 10.5 is chamber thickness to the gas block then .75 to the mussekl

My beretta is a pencil chf chrome lined barrel. Never have heat issues, but it's a 2-3 moa gun and that's what it's made for.

thats a piston gas system tho right?

Planning on building a rifle for my fiance and I think i have the details worked out now

Yes, short stroke.

yeah. i havent actually trained on anything like that, ar's and ak's which both heat up faster

id assume

She's smol, and doesn't like concussion. I've got most of the parts already but it'll likely revolve around:
Faxon 11.5 gunner midlength with an adjustable gas block, faxon lightweight bcg, jp captured buffer, carbon fiber mlok rail, and noveske pig

Small, light, low recoil, and a pig to push the blast away from her

>noveske warpig

mah man

Recesses perfectly into the handguard I have

I'm surprised how well they perform at both minimizing recoil and keepint blast away from the boys

It heats up quick but the receiver is designed to dissipate heat very well. Dumping mags, smoke pouring out of it, hands never get hot.

nice

I kinda want a bren

tbh

11.5 barrel, 13.5 handguard, and the pig is about 3 inches if I remember right

something like that

@Artemis I remember you asking about that, sounds like a good setup

mines 10.5 barrel 11 or 12 inch hg and it only covers the screw part

Actually gonna be a bit jealous. I have a 16" rifle with a regular bcg and the rest of the parts are the same, and it weighs 5 pounds before optics

nice

Hers will probably be closer to 4

thats sick

When I got that handguard in I knew it would be light but I thought I had been gypped for a second, it feels like a cardboard tube

Wish they would make a pistol wwsd receiver

facts

Built a full polymer AR that weighed out at 4.3lbs with optic. I had fun destroying that rifle 😂

Man i love the WWSD but I just know I would break that shit

My most recent weighs 10lbs 😥

Bruh I saw someone bitching that an 8lb gun was too heavy. My primary gun for years was 18lbs, sheesh

Losing the weight the correct way is EXPENSIVE

My primary is 7.8lbs without a mag.

That’s not bad at all

Nope. Not to me. I really couldn’t care less about weight, I’m grabbing whichever gun I trust the most.
