    I finally shot my Larue today and got the Vortex Viper dialed in

    Shot it side by side with my BCM and an Aero in pistol config...

    Damn thing is amazing and more accurate than I'll ever be

    Dumped my brass in a beautiful little pile at about 4oclock

    These uppers will mate with any lower? I was thinking of building a pistol but this may have me considering otherwise

    Does anybody have experience with the 12” Barrell upper. I’d like to build a pistol but not opposed to a more accurate 16” rifle either

    mine is a 14.5 pin and weld to 16...fantastic and super accurate

    Thanks I’ll be doing some more research apparently. I have a 16” rifle so wanted to build something more compact but staying as open minded as the can. Realistically my old eyes aren’t that good anymore and the rifle I have may be pretty accurate but hard for me to shoot accurately with no magnification past 100. Deffinately going to take some more shooting and investigarion

    BCM 11.5 is my pistol length. Also have an aero 16 with an 1-8 lpvo
    If I had to combine them into one weapon a pin and welded 14.5 with a LPVO would be a great choice. Gets around the pistol brace and still packs a little more velocity than the short barrel.

    Love the BCM it's a fantastic system with the can mounted its the same overall length as my 16 without the can. Also quite a bit lighter and easier to move around

    I'm not sure what I'll do with the 16 in the future now I use it at the 100-500 yard lines. LPVO makes 200-500 a ton easier. Definitely want to replace the 10 inch quad rail with a more modern 15 inch mlock rail prob add a bipod. No sense in going to a 14.5 on it since I have the bcm. No point in going longer like 18 inch since I have my Tikka tac A1 for high power longer range. And the aero is accurate enough for how I use it.

    Has anyone used a BFD?

    Big f'nn deal or a Blast Forwarding Device.

    I've been getting complaints from the benches next to me while enjoying a 308

    If you mean a linear compensator (rather than a blast can), yes. The Griffin Armaments one works nicely, while also controlling muzzle rise. Not sure if there's a .308 version, though.

    I wonder what magic Larue is putting into those barrels. I’ve never bought a complete upper or rifle. All my guns are franken guns. The two ARs I’ve built are using Noveske barrels which I’ve found are well worth the hefty price tag. They are tac-drivers. So, I’ll say the barrel is the heart of any good system when it comes to ARs.

    Its great to see manufactures putting together good systems. It’s a great value, getting both good quality and ergonomics in the same package. Rather than building something only to find it doesn’t feel so nice in the hands.:thumbsup:

    All I have right now is the lower and some parts so I’m still pretty much wide open as far as direction
