Father and son

Those came out pretty well... I forgot to ask, or maybe you posted it, your old man's first AR? Or does he have a few other AR's?

Very nice! Hogue grips are by far the most comfortable for me on rifles like my 6.5

Yep first one. Both pictured are firsts mine and his. He never really considered one till he got to handle mine and after a few range trips the deal was sealed.

Same thing with my father (Vietnam vet). He didn't understand why I wanted/built them. His experience with them was tied to his service. Then after handling my DMR, He wants me to build him a .308 for hunting.

Went out to the range to do a little accuracy check this afternoon. Had a whole bunch of loads to try and run through the chrono but luck would have it we got storms rollin around. No chrony due to the light rain and only ran two sets of 120 SSts before the rain got too much but were're pretty happy with the results so far. I don't know if there are many 6.8 shooters here but just incase these were handloads 120 SST 29gr. IMR 8208 XBR Hornady once fired no crimp WIN. primers OAL 2.290
8 shot group 100yds

Looks awesome. Now I'm gonna have to talk the wife into having me a son so I can get a 6.8 someday.

Dang that's some fine shootin'. Nice work!

**GaSwamper** · 1 July 2014, 15:34

Thanks guys, I was a little worried about the accuracy with it being a piston setup but I see don't believe everything you hear. As for the Wilson Combat barrel it is superb, don't let anyone tell you you're just buying the name. The machineing is flawless and I'd say one of the most accurate barrels I've ever seen and well she is just dang sexy to boot!

Well Wilson Combat barrels are known for their excellent machining and accuracy.

Speaking of, now that this thread was bumped, how's the continued accuracy of those barrels GaSwamper?
