Precision gas gun, Form?

I've been terribly curious about these (mainly the uppers). When you get a moment would you throw up some 10+ round paper groups at 100 with whatever ammo it likes?

Thanks in advance,

Some of the recent feedback on the hide on them was a bit of a turn-off. Seem pretty cool though.

It seems like a PRI upper and AEM5 can with a decent scope is just about what it takes to get a turn key sure thing. Very cool rifle but spendy and heavy by the time its said and done.

The groups posted here are pretty impressive. A guaranteed 1.5 MOA or better self shucker is pretty dang cool

1.15” 15 rounds from PRI mod 0 w a very sloppy fitting lower (not PRI). Bone frog 77gr TMK, first and only ammo shot through it so far.

It will probably be a bit before I get back to the range next time I’ll take a pic.

With those…. Go ahead and do the thing- a PRI MK12 Mod 0 in 5.56, 22 ARC, or 6 ARC.

What would be your recommendation on a 16 in 5.56 AR, still a PRI?

If you want a MK12 mod 0, yes just buy the PRI gen 3 in whatever color makes you happy.

If you want a “precision” 16”- yes. MK12 Mod-H. If you want a lighter or not precision AR, it changes.

I truly believe the 80/20 solution for a general purpose ar-15 is to build your own lower on any receiver of reasonable quality and then buy a 14.5" BCM and pin the muzzle device of your choice. Suppress it. NX8 in NF unimount up top with a surefire Turbo Pro, add a sling if you like. Spend the rest on ammo.

Why?
1) Lowers are personal preference. Ambi safety, bolt catch, mag release, vs not. Charging handle. Stock. Yada yada. By the time you make all these changes you might as well build it. Assembling a lower is a core American life skill and takes under an hour for a first timer.

2) BCMs may be gassy but they are light, reasonably stiff, reasonably accurate, and on the upper end of reliability. Features like the ELW BFH barrels, mk 2 uppers, and decent BCGs are a great deal for the $900 being asked.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BUILD A LOWER, you can just source a full carbine from Munition Works. Dale knows how to properly assemble and tune a rifle, and he doesn't charge much for it.

On the other end of this barbell is the world of PRIs, LMTs, etc - but that's been well covered. I feel that the DDs and Geisseles of the world live in this uncanny price valley between this side of the barbell and the other, where not much is being purchased except clout.

Kind of trying to figure out what I want. Ive got an old bushmaster m4gery with an aim point thats handy but not so accurate, then an 18in 3 gun type set up thats accurate but heavy. Looking for something handy and reliable to slap an nx8 on and ideally shoot 77s with 1.5 moa-ish accuracy.

1.5 is not easy at scale. PRI mod 1 or 0 is where I'd go for your stated desires.
