direct link, pic doesnt show high enough resolution to see the writing

as a reference for size, the calipers are set to 1 inch

ill get some better measurements sometime tonight or tomorrow,
the top shot group (orange) is the pmc 5.56 62gr tightened the group up some and measures right over 1 inch @ 70 meters
the bottom group (light blue center mass) is my 16" acr zeroed with the acog, i shot 5 suppressed and 5 unsuppressed and either have zero poi shift or enough that i didnt hit paper, i'm going to get more groups up later this month i hope

sorry about having the 1 paper for the groups i didnt have any extra targets at the time

Hey Bigdog,

This is a great comparision, thanks for sharing!

 

[cjt50]

Excellent comparison, looking forward to more

Have you played with differant grain bullets? some barrels like heavier pills.

 

[BoovarBjarki]

Amazing. I would have thought the 10.5 " wouldn't have done as well. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Tackleberry23]

Looks great. Thanks for the comparison. I've awesome wondered how the shortened barrel would affect the accuracy. I'm surprised. I'd love to diversify my collection more like this.

 

[bigdog2003_99]

any time guys, it was a perfect day to shoot, especially because there was no wind. the 10.5" loves the 62 grain 5.56, i didnt get a chance to try it on the 16" yet

as a general reference here was my groups as i swapped stuff around
1.5" with 55gr and standard trigger
1.25" 55gr with stage 2 nm trigger
1.0 with 62 grain

at the 100 the 10.5 in theory should be more accurate because there is less whip from the barrel but past the 100 meter point the 16 will start to shine very quickly

Nice job big dog how you like the nm trigger ? Think the giessle is any better?

 

[bigdog2003_99]

^ thanks man, your old acog is great btw. the nm trigger is nice, i really cant compare it to a giessle trigger since i've never shot one but the nm is cheaper and still very good, i plan on running one on both of my acr's soon

 

[SDDuc996]

The AMU guys over here have the Geisselle's. All it takes is trying one out.

I am sold.

 

[Ghouse1803]

I have a geisselle in my POF 308 and love it. Big dog what is the pull weight on yours? And what is the exact model you bought?

 

[bigdog2003_99]

mine is around 4.5 pounds, its the rock river arms stage 2 nm trigger, i might get a geisselle trigger sometime but upgrading both of my acrs will be pricey =(

I have a Geisselle Super 3 gun in my ACR ... very refined, and very easy to shoot fast. I definitely prefer it over my single stage 4lb Timney in my LWRC, hopefully I will get the chance and time to put it through its paces in a competition.
