That build is using as many old parts that are still available as possible. The upper (Colt), the pistol grip, the A1 stock, the flat delta ring, and front sight post are all original parts. The barrel, the bird cage flash suppressor, the lower, and the "innerds" are new. I know I'm limited to the 55 grain M193.<br /><br />My modern build with the Faxon pencil barrel will be free floated with an ALG handguard.John Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03151468462458613615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-64046029272773638522017-07-27T21:55:36.469-04:002017-07-27T21:55:36.469-04:00I understand that the 1:12 twist rate is accurate ...I understand that the 1:12 twist rate is accurate historically for old school m16. But why do this? You will probably suffer in stability in anything larger/longer than 55g m193. There are a ton of great, better BC projectiles in the >55g'ers, eg sierra matchkings >= 69g.<br /><br />Ian [I love all of Ian's vids/projects] rightly points out that the pencil barrel aspect makes little difference in modern barrels but remember the freefloat barrel aspect of your historical project is dashed and accordingly the shooting stance/rest makes a ton of difference.<br /><br />Keep on truckin' in your support of 2a, Mr. Richardson. You make a difference.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953730970222401127noreply@blogger.com
