Some AR building activity is about to go down at “Headquarters 1776”.
The Recce Rifle(sounds like Becky)is generally defined as a lightweight, accurate, highly versatile weapon meant for close to medium ranges. Frequently mentioned as a firearm used during recon operations, the precise build specifications vary depending on your needs. A constant is the use of a magnified optic thus the term “Sniper M4” is sometimes used.
Here are the criteria for the 1776 Recce Rifle:
- 16″ barrel
- 1-6X or 1-8X scope with a true 1X for close range
- Free float hand guard
- Rise-reducing muzzle brake
- Improved/Accurized Trigger
- M4 bolt
- Mounted flashlight
- Sling
- Kick’s Ass
I’ve never been a fan of over-accessorized AR’s. Loading a weapon down with every conceivable option increases weight. Weight reduces speed. Not good. This Recce rifle will be well below 10-pounds and capable of quick shots at 20 yards, then accurately engaging targets at 200 – over and over again. No problem.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll post updates as parts are selected, ordered, and the build comes together.
