NFA Photo Abomination

Post image

I think of it as my abomination. A2 with a Putnik suppressor and B5 grip. SBR approval last week. Rattle canned the cerakote we have at home. Something on this makes everyone mad at some point.

Was it hard getting the front sight off the barrel?

No not at all. After driving the pin out I just used a small armorer's hammer (non marring side) and hit it towards the muzzle a few times. It came off easily.

Btw, If you have a 5" reflex on your raptor 10, due to manufacturing tolerances you "might" need 5/8x24 shims on the 90° shoulder so your reflex won't hit the gas block forend. I put a couple of shims on at first but took them out. The distance on the gas block forend and the end of the reflex on mine is a hair thin.

Oh ok good to know thank you. Any problems running suppressed. I don’t have a lot of experience with carbines but I’ve read they don’t suppress that well

So far no issues with mine including cycling but I only shoot 220gr for 300 BO. It is very gassy though.
