I have had my new suppressor and SBR for a few weeks but with all the busy holiday stuff and being busy at work I haven't been able to get out to the range. Today, it was less than 20 degrees out here in Pennsylvania and there was snow on the ground. But, I finally made it out to the range.

I built this baby up myself and and super happy now that it all came together.

Did a 25 yard zero as per the calculator that voodoo_man linked me to was telling me my ideal zero range would be 27 yards. It was freezing, but it was a great day at the range. Easily zeroed my Aimpoint and back up sights. No malfunctions, everything worked great

This is the first time I shot suppress and was surprised. I was expecting all sorts of gas in my face from the suppressed SBR, but aside from a dirty rifle and dirty hands, it was a very pleasant rifle to shoot. No gas in the face. Virtually no recoil (even though it is overgassed now even with a wolff extra power spring and H1 buffer). I will probably try an H2 buffer next time out.

Very fun to shoot!

Your Mega SBR looks pretty close to mine. Well done.

Once the novelty wears off, you'll be crying from the gas in your face. [:D]

I'll take that as a compliment! [:D]

But honestly, I didn't notice any extra gas in my face. Just really dirty rifle and hands!

That's probably a good thing... saves you money too.

Looks great! Built in handwarmer; just dump half a mag and hold the suppressor for a little while. Instant finger thaw!

What type of barrel/gas block are you using?

Come on down! Although UWone is right. You are saving a lot of money by not opening Door Number (Class) III.

I actually have that stock as well. I go back and forth with it though. I seem to like the larger sl stock, though.
