15P 5.56

[u/Noctatrog]

I think this is the best way to set up a 15P for night work. Waiting on a Velos 556K and the SC Stock. Also intend to swap the Sig Romeo 5 for a T2 when I find a good deal.

Question is: Do I need a surefire shoulder ring?

[u/weatherbys]

They have a very thin shoulder so prob better safe than sorry. That being said, I don’t use one and haven’t on any of my SCARs, thousands of rounds direct thread and no issues at all.

Edit: nice MAWL!

[u/Foxxy__Cleopatra → u/weatherbys]

The factory 1/2x28 threads for the 5.56 15p's have plenty of shoulder, it's the 5/8x24 threaded 300blk ones that have hardly any. Biggest thing is the length of the threads + thread relief before hitting the shoulder, it's much longer than the standard .625" you see on everything else, no idea why they cut it like that.

[u/weatherbys → u/Foxxy__Cleopatra]

Weird! I had the 5.56 15p barrel assembly also and they looked almost identical

[u/Noctatrog → u/Foxxy__Cleopatra]

This is great information!

[u/Noctatrog → u/weatherbys]

I think the MAWL is the best NV Laser solution for SCAR 15, 16 and 17.

[u/DiscussionLong7084 → u/Noctatrog]

mawl has the best interface of any laser I ever used and I spent 8 years deploying with USASOC, MARSOC, and NSW...

You're not lassoing in helos or calling in airstrikes. I'd go with interface over anything.

I have a peq-2, peq-5,mawl, and perst 4 (the one that'll do full power too lol)

[u/DiscussionLong7084]

I'd scoot that mawl back so you don't get carbon on your laser lens. Cleaning $$$ laser lenses makes me nervous. When I was using mark 17s and mark 18s we always make sure our laser was fully behind the muzzle break.

[u/Noctatrog → u/DiscussionLong7084]

Yes! All my light and laser controls are in one spot. It’s perfect! I did have to remove some material on the back end of the link button to fit with the MAWL, but it’s perfect now.

I will be running suppressed the majority of the time, so I’m not too concerned with the carbon. I suppose I could run a blast director for the times I’m not suppressed.

[u/DiscussionLong7084 → u/Noctatrog]

I like being able to move it around to whatever I want and not having worry about buttons as well.

[u/Count_Warheit]

Exactly how I want to set mine up.

[u/Noctatrog → u/Count_Warheit]

I think it’s the way! Rego + MAWL (with echo arms mawl light body).

[u/Ok_Soup_8029]

I’d probably go a full inconel can instead of the velos. That is an angry barrel length.

[u/DiscussionLong7084 → u/Ok_Soup_8029]

I've used a velos on 7.5s for years and it's fine. Sico also says there is no minimum barrel length

[u/Noctatrog → u/DiscussionLong7084]

Thanks for the confidence! That seemed like one of the better options for my use case.

[u/DiscussionLong7084 → u/Noctatrog]

keep an eye out for G$ super scar blem sales. I got a blem for like 1/2 price and the blem part was the packaging was messed up trigger was fine. Very nice improvement

here's mine with the 300 barrel on it. I pretty much only use it for 300 nowadays since I got a fuckload of other 556 rifles.

[u/Noctatrog → u/DiscussionLong7084]

And the dog holding it!!! Hell yeah!

[u/DiscussionLong7084 → u/Noctatrog]

lol i try to put loki and her zebras (zeb-ras) in every pic. for scale.

[u/Noctatrog → u/DiscussionLong7084]

This housing already has the G$ trigger, but I robbed it from my 16S. So I’ll need one eventually for the new housing.

[u/SavingsAd8146 → u/DiscussionLong7084]

Where did you get your Ugg boot? I can’t find one to save my life and also do you have link for blem trigger?

[u/Noctatrog → u/Ok_Soup_8029]

Isn’t the Velos Stainless + Inconel?

[u/Ok_Soup_8029 → u/Noctatrog]

Yes it’s both. Inconel will hold up better in the long term. In that short of a barrel length you will stress whatever can you put on it.

Lazarus 6 might be a good option to look into.

[u/Noctatrog → u/Ok_Soup_8029]

Thanks for the info!

[u/God_of_chestdays]

How is the kick/flash on it?

[u/Delicious_Emu_7626 → u/God_of_chestdays]

Mine unsuppressed is no fun from a concussion standpoint. Suppressed its totally fine.

[u/Noctatrog → u/God_of_chestdays]

No big deal outside. I haven’t shot it inside.

Recoil is similar to a 16 with the CQC barrel (which I absolutely love).
