Looking forward to getting this bad boy in the field later this year to put a hurting on the coyotes and maybe do some doe patrol on some Texas MLD properties. Didn't get an antelope draw this year, so it'll have to wait to try out on some Texas speed goats.

Using a matched set from South Texas Arms, and a Cross Machine & Tool UPHR 15" ARCA/MLOK handguard. This build is essentially the Brush Country Hunter Rifle that they have on their website. I opted for the upgrade of the ARCA over the standard handguard, as it only adds 4-5 ounces over the standard Brush Country handguard, and it's going to give me full rail real estate for an ARCA bipod, or tripod use.

Using a KAK Industry 19" 22 Creedmoor barrel with Rifle gas system. It's a 4150 CMV barrel, but I've talked with them and they guaranteed me MOA or better with hand loads; MOA with factory. So we shall see. I am utilizing for recoil management the K-Spec buffer and flat spring. If I don't like it, I'll swap for a Armalite length tube and a H1/H2 buffer instead. Going flat single stage trigger with it from TriggerTech, also.

Nice gun. For what its worth, I just tried out KAK's A5 system with both the standard A5C buffer/rifle spring and their K-spec A5H1 buffer/flat spring. I didn't notice much, if any difference. Went back to a standard carbine system with H1 buffer. This was with suppressed 5.56x45 and an adjustable gas block.

That is a fine looking rig, and trigger tech diamond is about the best there is.

I've only noticed the difference in the use of an A5 suppressed on large frame rifles. That extra 1/4" of length in the tube, and about 1/2" in buffer seems to keep the bolt from bouncing. but so far, the Kspec buffers are working quite well and are about the same cost (or slightly less retail) than the A5 system.
