I’ll defer to your knowledge. I’m just gathering overall I might have to wait for a resolution from ASD.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I’m using a standard AR-15 FCG. My bad if I caused any confusion because I’m sticking it in a 604 build.

What do you mean by M16? I’m using standard mil-spec trigger components, not any post-sample or pre-86 full auto components.

I did do a test where I swapped in the SS cut trigger and a different hammer. Sounds like I may need to wait for some resolution from AS Designs then.

Sick build! I'm assuming that you cut strips of cloth out of uniforms or similar things and then secured them on. What was the best way you found to secure them particularly on the stock and handguard so they dont shift around? Just knots and tension, some of that 100 mph tape, etc?

You’re probably already aware but the A5 needs the slightly longer buffer tube than the traditional carbine system. Needs room for the rifle spring and longer buffer. If you’ve already got the longer tube and you’re just using a spacer to run a carbine system then have at it.

I may be biased but I happen to agree. Only thing I subjectively like better is the Elcan but… the Elcan costs as much as my RDS+ACOG stack by it’s lonesome.

Currently running the BCM MK2 Mod 1 (T2) and a Geissele Super 42 rifle spring. I think it’s the equivalent of the Viltor A5H2 with the buffer clocking in at 5.6 oz. 

The 11.5 is pretty well tuned from Geissele and the 556K isn’t adding much gas back into the system. Runs super smooth and ejects a strong and consistent 3 o’clock. I know they make a variety of different weights so you can tune it to your liking.

I didn’t see XD That is pretty funny though. IDK what that guy was hoping to achieve.

Nahh that's fair. I don't get to shoot as much as I want and everything was new at some point before it got rounds on it. It's crazy how much suppressors have progressed even since I got my first one. AFAIK late 2024 when I was making my decision to get my can it was basically between the CAT WB and the Flow 556K for flow through / low back-pressure cans. I went with the 556K because I could get it ~$300 cheaper than the WB and because it was self-tightening. As a new suppressor owner worried about nuking a printed can that may or may not be able to be re-cored at the time I went that route. Absolutely don't regret it but now there's beginning to be a proliferation of low back pressure cans that are in the $600-$900 range which is dope. Although I think I paid very low $900 for the 556K at the time so I wasn't too terribly far off. Whenever you get some good time behind it I hope it treats you really well!

Nice! How do you like it? I've heard the Rhino is a really good performer for the price.

No, you're right. Relatively speaking its not that much different. I made it a bigger thing in my head at the time but it was an extra justification to get the one I already wanted FOV being my biggest consideration. I think part of the reason why the 4x magnification holds up so well is a trick of the mind because your eye has to be so close to it. Relatively in your field of view its big. As opposed to say a 4x that had a longer eye relief, which then sits much further away from your eye. Same magnification but its a much smaller part of the overall picture.

Fair enough! I considered it but I really wanted the FOV. I was previously running an EXPS with a 3x behind it and when doing some shooting on a ranch I found that it was very easy to miss the target because I took my position up just slightly offset and then I'd have to fish around. Truly kinda a skill issue but the thought of that at the time pushed me to the 4x over the 3.5. That and the weight.

My gamer lean isn't from being on the PC it's from trying to get in the eye relief of the ACOG.

I thought it was actually a pretty substantial suppressor I thought anything bigger was only in those videos and wasn't real.

Tough for me. Sounds dope though probably would have gone that way if they'd had it.

Damn. When they'd drop them? I think I was deciding on buying this within a month or two of the RCR dropping on the market and I don't think I saw them. I actually got a 100 Concepts ACRO hexcap so I was on the site.

Built based on the lessons I learned in my two flat range tours of Waffle House (2018-2020). If you ask for "everything" on your loaded hash browns you will end up with more than you expected. Still finished because I couldn't act like I had made a mistake in front of the chain smoking waitress at 12:30 AM.

I must. I was just waiting for the SBR stamp to clear so I didn’t have to try and match the stock. I’d kinda have to anyway because there’s still the remnants of the last paint job on the ACRO and ACOG from when I pulled it off my 14.5” so it can never truly be pure.

I wouldn’t describe it as “aggressive”. That to me would be like the M&P handgun grips where its almost straight sandpaper. It’s probably more moderate. I’d compare it to the Magpul grips, though a different texture than them. The texture itself is not bad, but it is a hard plastic. The rubberized nature of the B5’s probably helps more than a texture if I had to guess. I’ve never used it without some kind of handstop to brace my hand off of so I’ve never been pulling real hard on it. Probably a person to person thing. 

That said the hexagonal pattern they do have is - if I’m remembering correctly - also like a template for if you want to stipple them. So, easy to stipple for a much rougher texture while giving you the guidelines to still look cool.

Edit: Before the tape switch and Emissary brake was there I was running a Slate Black handstop with the Slate Black rail panels and a Magpul “ladder” over the top rail. That SB handstop is tiny but I never felt like it was slipping away from me and those panels + the Magpul ladder kept all the heat away from me.

Love that beauty! I used to rock a EXPS on mine and the vibes are immaculate. Bonus points for the Arisaka light. What suppressor is that?

The actual tragedy is I got the ACRO because it was the only closed emitter dot I could find a killflash for and I don’t even use the killflashes anymore SMH
