I finally put together a 16" EBR. I must say, I really like the balance on this rifle. This has a Bula Defense XM21 receiver, 16.5" medium weight NM barrel and Sage ALCS. I was planning on shooting today but we got 6" of snow overnight and it's still falling. I'm anxious to get some rounds through it, but I don't think I'm that anxious. Here are a few pics. Hopefully a range report will follow soon.

Here is the lightweight version. They certainly have a very different look. This one is the AG Composites CBR painted up with an amazing camo pattern by M1 Army and a standard profile barrel. Weight is 7.8lbs.

Range Report added on page 2.

Very cool!

I especially like the lightweight setup. Just looks right!

Wow. Nice going Jeff. Talk about plenty of clearance for ejected brass.
Love the clean looks of the left side of the receiver and the nice short rails.
Watching carefully for my delivery.
Keep it up.

Jeff, nice work on both-----That Vietnam tiger stripe pattern is one of my favorites---one question, what does your EBR weigh with the optic on it?

Love that EBR look. I like the 16.5" in that set up. Nice !

Thanks! M1Army did the paint and its amazing. Pics don't do it justice I haven't weighed the EBR yet. Sometimes not knowing is better. The EBR with a medium weight barrel is a bit portly. I'll weigh it and report back though. It's good info to have.

Is that the receiver which has the rails that match the height of the ebr chassis?

Yes they are.

I'm still very interested in the 16.5 medium weight barrel.

Jeff,

What's the weight on the EBR as configured?

 

[7 for 1]

So when will that receiver and barrel be available? We are all drooling for it!

 

[Greyson]

Those look great Jeff. I love the AG CBR setup! Also, like some others, love the slick side on your M21 receiver. Always a fan of the Nam Tigerstripe. M1Army did a fantastic job. Very talented. GI1

Really liking the AG stock...

 

[HipShot71]

Great looking sticks Jeff! That lightweight is super sexy!

So, are these "all Bula" rifles, or are they a mix of USGI and Bula parts?

 

[MitchSteel]

Very nice rifles,sir.

 

[Realm Drifter]

Nice set of tools you got there. That lightweight setup looks particularly sweet. How much research did you put in before making selections?

 

[Snyper762]

Very cool as always buddy!

I had some time to throw a few rounds through the XM21 EBR. Another forum member was a gracious host and we both were able to get some trigger time on the rifle. I'm extremely happy with the EBR to this point. She's running very well and starting to stabilize in accuracy. The pic below is two 5 round groups and one 3 round group. The last group is the one above the center. This is off a bench at 100 yards with the Nikon scope in the pics. I REALLY wish I would have taken the Leupold Mark 4. I think we could have done much better. It was interesting to see the rifle stabilize after about 20-30 rounds. I think a good scrubbing and another 100 rounds or so and she'll be a great shooter, assuming somebody else besides me is behind the trigger! I think the rifle already shoots better than my fists of ham at this point. Thanks again Eddie!
