This rifle was built by David White of D and T Custom (dandtcustomgunworks.com). He uses a process called stubbing which is explained on his website. The barrel is 16.25" and has an AAC 51T Blackout flash hider/suppressor mount on standard 5/8x24 threads. Has an oversize hinge pin and a light trigger. The cheek riser is from Fulton Armory. 1:8 twist. Accuracy at 50 yards has been sub-MOA consistently with subsonic loads (Corbon 220 SMK). At 100 yds, it will do around MOA, but not consistently. Fairly regularly, a random round will be supersonic or have less recoil than the preceding ones; at 50 yds, this doesn't seem to make much difference, but it can be several inches at 100. I have not seen this problem yet with the Hornady 208gr Amax I've tried in it, only with the Corbons, but I didn't realize it was happening with them for a while. This rifle is a lot of fun to hunt with, very quiet report. A 25-yd zero will keep your point of impact within a half inch of your point of aim from 20 to 65 yds, which is pretty user-friendly for night stand-hunting. The picture with the suppressor is so you can see what it looks like if you decide to run it that way. THE SUPPRESSOR IS NOT FOR SALE. Condition is not pristine. It's been hunted with a lot by me and a teenage son who seems to fall more than he stands (he just arrived in Afghanistan; wish him luck) and has been bounced around in my truck, etc. There's no major damage, but it's dinged up a bit. $525 shipped insured. billbeam6@hotmail.com, 281-413-5814

Offers? You guys are contributing to my delinquency. If I don't sell it, I'm going to feel like I have to scope it again, and what was on it is on another gun now. Somebody's gotta want a simple, easy to clean single-shot for shooting hogs from a stand. Or even deer now that supressors are legal inTexas for hunting game animals.
