Get a dog. Bring both the item in question and the dog home with you. If dog is still alive in the morning, item in question is not an authentic Colt moderator.

*sigh*

Looks too long to be a actual moderator.
I have a repro Innovative Industries moderator, and it is shorter than what is in your pic.

Also, pictures of Colt's blueprints for the moderator are online. Saw them in a barfcom thread.

But yes, the moderator I have makes my 10.5 inch AR sound like a 20" barrel in full suto. Helps when I shoot at an indoor range.

This looks to have an aluminum upper receiver, so it probably won't have the same wandering zero issues as the G36. Gotta love the German government though. How many times has HK dicked them over, now? And they don't look for rifles from anyone else.

Does the bottom of the magwell have the same angle as that on AR-15s, or is it somewhat more horizontal?

>>102655
I'd bet that this works the same as the SCAR, in that rifles with any barrel length get the same length of handguard, whereas the longer-barreled 416s get a somewhat longer (bulky as shit) handguard. Do different 416s have different lengths of pistons, for that matter?

Relatedly, here we have another modern rifle with ease of modification prioritized over getting the off hand far forward on the handguard. Honestly, how useful is it really to easily change barrel lengths in a military context? Will soldiers be swapping out barrels for every mission, based on what they think they're going to be doing? How much of a pain in the ass would that be for logistics?

>>102652
> People complained about the SCAR "boot" stock.

I like my SCAR boot stock. It's really great for shooting backwards with a mirror from the top of shoul... what the fuck...

Looks badass. Any word on the materials? When they say "less expensive" that usually means plastic... and that didn't go so well for the previous rifle.

>>102659
Good lord, those guys look like an FN commerical aimed at the Gulf States rather than a military.

>>102656
I like the forward charging handle location, the modular lower handguard, and the multiple built in sling swivels. Looks fairly well thought out, though knowing H&K it will be lolmoney.

Call me crazy, but i've never actually seen anyone use more than one set of rings on a scope... Why would you even bother when one quality set will do just fine. If you're really worried about the scope being knocked loose then use some resin on the inside of your rings to add stickiness. I've never had any issues with my scope being knocked out of alignment and i've driven it pretty hard into barricades. I also routinely use it as a carry handle for my 17 lb rifle.

As for rings. Look at Seekins precision rings. They're usually machined from the same block of aluminum so you won't have to bother lapping anything and they're not terribly expensive. Vortex also re-brands one of their ring sets as the "Vortex Precision Matched" rings.

I still swear by Spuhr though. Always will.

Not to necro my own thread but I finally got the rifle put together and zero'd for 100 yards with XM80C. Final build is the Savage 110 FCP, PA 4-14 FFP 44mm scope on an Armalite unibody mount. Bipod is a no-name Chinese one I stole off my .22 (for now) and I picked up an American Mountain Supply squeeze bag which is great. Total cost is still <$1000.

Picture doesn't demonstrate it but the PA scope is very clear and plenty bright for my needs. I have no real experience with nicer scopes so my opinion here is pretty useless, but I like it so far.

I'm shooting about 1.5 MOA at 100 yards if I'm doing my job. I'm positive the rifle can do better, so now it's on me.

Anyways, thanks for the advice guys.

>>102581
Sweet. Now time to figure out what kind of ammo the gun likes. My RPR really likes the 155gr Hornaday Steel Match. The Prvi Partizan Ammo match and PMC X-Tac were meh. Federal GMM 168 works as expected.

Full30 is the name of the site they host the videos on, not the name of the channel.

Thanks, man. I'm always interested in people testing guns in various ways.

I love how Rob has been doing it. Watching the wear of various components from various companies is very interesting and it really shows what companies skimp out on.

What his AR test showed me was to invest in a quality full auto BCG and you're good to go.

Found a gun channel that does have nice things. Not many channels I see do shit like .22LR at 720 yards and shit.

In one of their recent vids, they take a 375 Gibbs (improved Cheytac) out to 4300 yards. The flight time is absolutely mental.

Am I the only guy who'd like this as a full-length shotgun with a pump?

>>102519
Needs more buttstock and mount to hang an ammo can of belted 5.56mm on the side.

Tattooed mutant biker in Stalhelm (note helmet-mounted sight, by the way) to carry it around for you optional.

Fuck a buttstock, mount it to a steadycam harness, give it a video sight and an eyepiece, then do it up with some motorcycle grips. Maybe have a clutch cable that when you squeeze it, the steadycam gear locks up to help keep it on target. (Heh, as if)

Nice! The Rubber shot looks like fun. That's a lot of 40mm.

ATF Rules 40mm Practice “Chalk” Rounds Are Explosives, Destructive Devices...

Well, might as well go bigger! Why not get a DD if they are going to pull crap like this?

>“Ok so a update. The agent that showed up was an actual bomb tech. I surrendered the rounds under protest per the advice of a attorney. The bomb tech was a really cool guy. He agreed that it was pretty stupid and he hated to do it but he was being forced to help out with the case. He did also tell me that they had sent him out to take 40mm chalk rounds under the same case. I walked out to the truck with him and watched him place the rounds in the explosive magazine in his truck.

>>102310
Except for the M992(those are a whole mess of bullshit having nothing to do with being DDs) you can ignore that article, it isn't true. A single ATF agent got overzealous and took some chalks when they shouldn't have, but they are neither explosives nor DDs and this has been confirmed by multiple people in the know. Hopefully the incoming administration puts a choker on ATF so shit like this doesn't happen again, but ATF gunna ATF.

Maybe, but it devaluates the whole X-series brand name.
It's literally a polymer gun which they ADDED WEIGHT ONTO because the balance was utter trash. Might as well make an alu lower for it at that point and have that explain the markup.

As GVD said, there's always the lowest common denominator idiots. Also likely, is that they put it on there specifically so the DOD could target the contract to get the sidearm they wanted while still having the "test trial" pony show.

To be honest my only problem with the M9 was the location of the safety. I got tiny hands and my thumb couldn't reach easily. Made me slow during the "new" USMC pistol qual.

Other than that I found her to be accurate and fairly pleasant to shoot.

Would have bough a 92FS if not for that safety. How I ended up with the Hi Power.

>Maybe, but it devaluates the whole X-series brand name.
absolutely. the proper X-series are completely different beasts than the regular P22x, fully machined from steel with match triggers, match sights and match barrels.
this one has holes in the slide and weight in the plastic.

This really deserves its own thread.

>>101831

okay, now that is kind of interesting. Actually, I could see that working real in conjunction with the PDW-style stocks or short pistol buffer tubes...

So after much research and thinking I believe I've found my solution.

Fist off, the gas is primarily escaping from between the BOTTOM of the charging handle and not to top. Most of these charging handles only attempt to block gasses from the top and from what I can tell only the PRI one even tries to vent from the bottom. So issue number one is perusing a product that was flawed in design from the get go.

I'm going to do some experimenting with my mill sometime in the next few days. Along with some high temp silicone on the top (to ensure all gasses are directed into the newly designed bottom) I'm going to try and mill a series of angled trenches onto the bottom of the charging handle's rear.

I'm using PRI's idea as a base. However I'm going to enlarge it in both depth and width and make it vent out both sides to hopefully work better. It should also hold up to abuse better than a series of holes.

>>101860
A freakish success!

Cuts the amount of gas I'm getting in my face by at least 60%, didn't even put silicone on it. Not bad for five minuets of labor.

I think I can improve on the design as well, give me a few weeks and I may have something worth mass producing.

I bought one of these bad bitches for my 300blk gat; i haven't shot it extensively because the can is in jail, but i'll report back when i do.
