I like 1 MOA at 1000 yards  :D
Best start with minute of 10" circle at 25 yards. . .  :P

Kidding. . .mostly. . .

a wrap around the barrel will introduce varying harmonics. Turn it into a 100 MOA gun all day every day. A battlefield pick up AK will probably be more accurate and cost less. a knowledgeable gunsmith will already know this.
An Aimpoint RDS is around $400 and Geiselle handguards on sale can be had for less than $200. There are several in the EE on Arfcom.

During the 3rd drum mag dump, the barrel was glowing red already.

I notice he stopped using the handguard completely after about 4 mags and started putting his left hand on the mag/mag well.

I guess he should have brought a cloth to wrap the handguard ....   :rofl:
