Maybe it's the angle but it looks like your barrel is contacting the hand guard

Nice job but it looks very scary. I see it has the Diane Feinstein 6,000 round a second, fully automatic, cop-killer, magazine clip. How many times has it fired itself since you completed it? Probably quite a few times, I'm thinking.

Now the big question.... How does it shoot 🍻

hopefully here in the next 2 weeks or so ill get out and test it. I have a case of 500rds of .223 coming today specifically for this gun. The gas block is adjustable and Ive never fiddled with one of those so first task is dial that thing in. then run the snot out of it till I cant hold onto the handguard anymore...then do it again lol.

The lower is all aces. Spikes tactical lower and enhanced LPK (of course, I love Spikes), and the brace is an SB tactical PDW. no real worries there.

The upper however is Franken gun. Pretty much all donated or parts lying around. Andersen upper, DPMS Barrel, Midwest flash can, Gunshow rando BCG (im really worried about it), donated MLOK rail and Gas block.

So I will be running pretty much all 500 through this thing to trust it. once Im sure it will work then I got to add my optic, handstop, sling, light, ect. I dont want to spend a bunch on accessories yet without knowing it works first.

I am curious how hot the hand guard will get with the flash can so close?

I ask because I have never shot one where the flash can or suppressor is completely under the hand guard like that.

Interesting look, I like!

 So did a quick shoot this evening. Couple things.

1) makes really cool fireballs.
2) make sure you put the right sping in the buffer tube. That way you dont keep giving it gas and it still wont lock back. Duh!

So range trip was short. Ill get out again this weekend...with correct spring lol.

MH, are you going to stay with the open sites on this or do you have plans for some type of optic?

I want to put some type of optic on my Sig MCX pistol but I can't decide between a red dot type optic or something like a 1-4 scope.  I like how the Vortex Spitfire and Burris 332 "look" but I'm also of the belief, function, trumps everything else.

Well I'm really partial to Eotechs but man they hurt to spend the $500 on one. Ive heard really good things about Holosun and Vortex. Holosun makes a holographic sight that has a similar redical to the Eotech, longer battery life (like 50,000 hours), two power sources, "auto awake" so its always on AND its like $300. I think I'm going to give that one a go. Its the HS510C if I remember right.

I have the sig romeo5 on my 300blk and i like it a lot. The vortex has the diode glued in a weird spot that is in the field of view and my eyes were constantly drawn to it if that doesn't bother you then it's a good option also.Here's a good toture test on the sig romeo5.



FEATURES:
-2 MOA Red-Dot provides 10 illumination settings (8 daylight plus 2 NV) for visibility in all light conditions
-MOTAC™ (Motion Activated Illumination) powers up when it senses motion and powers down when it does not. Provides for optimum operational safety and enhanced 50,000+ hour battery life
-Integrated M1913 Picatinny interface provides industry-standard mounting options for a wide range of applications
-Dependable waterproof (IPX-7 rated for complete water immersion up to 1 meter) and fog-proof performance
-Includes a M1913 Picatinny low mount riser and a co-witness 1.41” riser mount
