https://greyhive.com/videos/watch/f02983fe-0155-4a36-82ec-fac62bf701a1 Hey. What is up, guys? It has been a while. COVID shut down my freelance video work. YouTube does not pay enough at this channel size, so I took a regular job and moved closer to it. It took time to get back to decent videos. I am back. I will post when I can. This is the .223 Wylde precision build. As usual I started with an Aero Precision M4E1 set. For the price they are the best I use: forged receivers with a clean, almost billet look, and threaded pins for the forward assist and bolt catch instead of roll pins. That helps with one hand. The heart of the build is the barrel: a BSF carbon-tube composite. I covered how BSF differs from other wrapped barrels in a two-part series. The wrap is tubes with an air gap over a turned-down, fluted contour for weight and heat. On it is an SLR Sentry adjustable gas block, which I use on almost every build. A leaf spring and detent on a notched screw set the gas: in for less, out for more. RifleSpeed makes an on-the-fly block with a neck that sticks past the rail. For a precision gun I prefer fewer moving parts on the barrel so harmonics stay consistent. The muzzle is a SureFire three-prong flash hider, not the QD suppressor mount. Those prongs can be used as a crude barrel tuner. That trick, and a few others for AR accuracy, need their own video. Under the rail is an Atlas bipod on an American Defense QD Picatinny mount, which sits on a Kinetic Development M-LOK QD so I can move the whole setup. It is as far forward as possible for stability. On this rifle that created a problem with the gas block. I will show it at the range. The handguard is Odin Works: simple and light. The carrier is a generic one I had on the bench. The trigger is a LaRue MBT two-stage. Under $100, it gives Geissele real competition. A Law Tactical folder is on the rear. If you fold an AR, that is the one I recommend. It is durable and looks cleaner than most. Furniture is B5 Systems: the carbine precision adjustable stock and their textured grip. I would put the standard B5 stock and this grip on most ARs. Under the stock is a B&T-style monopod. The optic is a Vector Optics Continental 4–24×. Most of my glass is first focal plane. This is my first second-focal-plane scope. The glass is clear, and eye relief at full power is more forgiving than cheap scopes, which go very tight at max zoom. I do not know yet whether that is SFP versus FFP or just this scope’s quality. It will get its own review. At the range the bipod sat so far forward that an M-LOK locking tab pressed the bottom of the gas block. I did not see it at first. Groups stringed horizontally. I doubted it was only my one-arm hold. Once I spotted the contact I moved the bipod two M-LOK slots back. Stability dropped a little. The stringing stopped and groups tightened. Setup still takes time. A Fix-It-Sticks bag as a rear rest helped some while the monopod barely hung off the bench. After I raised the Atlas and got the monopod fully on the table, groups improved again. The bipod stayed behind the gas block so it no longer touched the barrel. I show the stringing groups first, then the best group with poor support, then groups after the harmonic and rest fixes, including the best of those. There is more to do with this rifle. I will push it and myself. I may try a Vector first-focal-plane scope if they send one. FFP or SFP matters less than magnification, parallax, and a decent build. If you liked this, like and comment.
