Already have, so I guess between us I am the only one with the experience to talk about it, yuppie.

Guess so Sgt Stryker.

Won’t work in an AR-15. It might work if you used an AR-10.

In my personal builds, I put together a Remington 700, 28” barrel, muzzle brake and a tunable vibration dampener (nylon plug on a screw) in the fore stock. With custom loads, I was able to tune it down to less than .1 MOA. At that point, I was sure I was running into limitations of the bench rest I was firing from.

That was a nice rig. The main draw back was the weight as it was barrel heavy. The other draw back was that you could no longer blame the rifle.

I’m considering an M1A for my next build. Going to try it with a BOSS muzzle break and then package in a bull pup.

Armalite already sells an AR-10 in .338 Federal. Sweet.
