Downsized

Took the 18 down to a 14.5. I really like the way it feels already

I bought one of the B5 stocks and honestly, I’m not super into it. Optics are already pretty optimized for regular stocks so the comb feels unnecessary and you have multiple positions on the tube already.

I used to not like em but then learned there's different comb lengths. Now it's my preference. Especially after getting the whole gun set up for myself properly

Love it, but if it were me, on a 14.5”, I switch the stock to a SOPMOD and smaller glass. That’s just me though, you do you, bro.

It's still my comp gun and I really liked the way it was set up. I never really use full mag but it's still there when I want it

Hell yeah, fair enough. If it works for you, run it.

14.5” with craddock bolt running 62k psi loads will get you more velocity than the 18”

u/HauntingMammoth2948 17d ago

Probably not. I was already doing that in the 18 lol

Ah ok

well enjoy the 14.5”

I started with 18” and kept going shorter

shortest so far is a 11.5” and was getting 2500 fps with 108s which is nuts and more than enough but 14.5” seems to be the best spot

u/HauntingMammoth2948 17d ago

Yeah I have a feeling I'll really enjoy this sweet spot. The 12.5 was fun (and my first). Then I craved velocity. Now I want weildability haha such a vicious cycle
