Colt's HBAR Match Target II

["DoubleAction"]

I added the Hogue Overmolded Floating Forend Tube in place of the stock handguards, also from Hogue is the pistol grip. I added a Harris sling stud to the floating tube, with the quick detachable sling mounts. With this being a post ban version, I optioned to mount the JP Muzzle Break( Rats!, I could use that threaded barrel ), which is a popular choice among many professional shooters. The Sling is one that I worked up from raw leather with a conditioner and dye; It is very soft and flexable. The Harris Bi-Pod provides the gun with a self contained bench rest.
The Top Handle Scope Mount is from Tapco, as is the Flat Top Riser, and the one piece Scope mount with Rings is from American Spirit Arms, which is available through Brownell's.
There are many sight options with the flat top versions, but the trick is maintaining clearance of the front sight and proper cheek weld.
These are truly fun guns to shoot and experiment with, but they are also part of the same platform, which is known throughout the world in military and law enforcement applications.

This is the post ban legal, fixed position, Car stock from American Spirit Arms. There are several others, but what I like about this one is it ressembles the appearance of the original pre-ban multi position Colt version. The rubber butt plate is an optional item that I purchased separately.
The see through optical mount, from Tapco, allows the option of iron sights or optics.

DA, could you explain the function of the muzzle brake? I don't understand what it adds to the functionality.

MLB; I know it is an ugly device, reminding me of those found on the tank mounted cannons, and the .223 could use little, for what recoil is has, but this one is designed to where the exiting gases from the barrel pulls against the dual restricting plates on muzzle, eliminating muzzle flip while counteracting recoil.
I thought very little about one until I started seeing alot of three gun competition shooters using them on their Ar-15s, and then I saw one in a Colt catalog where one was featured on a HBAR. I was curious about it enough to mount the ugly little bugger on my barrel. I have to add that the 1 in 9 inch twist and the heavy barrel of this gun has more to it than the 1 in 12 twist lighter barrel that I had in the Army. Not anything like a .50 caliber BMG, but the ammo is cheap, and it's a fun gun to shoot.

Ok, I can see how that would work now. Thanks DA. That's a serious looking piece of armamant you have there. I've only fired one of those a few times. I was suprised at how managable the recoil was. I was expecting more. But for a target application, every little bit helps...
