Well I didn't get drawn for deer after all. But I made a 14" barrel for my first barrel. Guess I will have plenty of time to play with it and do bullet testing.
I still need to profile in the gas block seat and thread it.
I'm going to build it into a Mini RECCE style upper and probably only shoot it suppressed.
I have another 25" blank tucked away that I would like to build a Howa Mini with with DBM and bullets seated much further out so useable case capacity is greater.
It should do well at distance for such a small package.
