How does the Pluto perform with 223? Always concerned about the rating.

Oh, I was referencing a 10-22, I'm sure it wouldn't work for a 223

I just ditch the end plate entirely. I don't bother with the spring either. The rear takedown pin has been tight enough in all my builds... its never fallen out or anything. But the way I designed my stocks, the carbon tube actually extends into the Solo300 a half inch, so the upper/lower wouldn't come apart anyway without removing the stock/buffertube piece.

I'm not sure if you already posted your stock attachment somewhere, but I'd be interested in seeing how you did yours.

What was your reason functionally for leaving the excess inboard?

It may be cost prohibitive for a budget ULUL but for a premium option, has anyone considered or used the Aimpoint Comp M5B model for one of these? It’s essentially a Red-Dot with prebuilt ballistic turrets that correspond to common loads. I imagine it was designed around 556 in an AR-15 so I have to figure one of the turrets would be perfect for a ULUL shooting 77 TMK.

Looks to be 9 oz and about $1200.

I had the chance to use one once with a buddy that was testing it on his MK-12. Once we got it zeroed for 100 yards and found the right turret for the 77TMK, we were consistently hitting an 18” rock with every shot at around 550 yards IIRC.

For anyone that wanted to stretch the range of a ULUL while still having the ease of a red dot sight, it may be the perfect option.

Here’s a link to get people started down this rabbit hole, if interested. Looks like it may be backordered or discontinued?

I might consider one of those if I didn't have a leupold 3x9 UL with the LR reticle @ the same weight. As a lower profile alternative (better for dragging through brush and in the pack) I've heard there's an outfit that can install different reticles in the leupold now that the custom shop is closed. Pretty expensive, but you can probably pick up a 3x9 UL and get the reticle with dots for longer range for a similar $1200ish. FWIW
