Built one using a Faxon 16 inch Gunner barrrel and an MP bolt, AERO upper receiver. Very happy with it's accuracy using 80 gr. ELDM's. Using SMP763 I am getting 2720 fps. It has jumped to the front of the rotation and will be doing raccoon control along with the micellaneous feral hog or meat deer duty. Really surprised at how easy it came together and have all good things to say about the Faxon match series 5R barrel.

I keep waiting for Seekins to come out with a 22 ARC upper because I'd like to give one a try.
I've been looking at a Rise Armament 22 ARC complete upper that's on sale but I know nothing about them so I've been apprehensive about buying one. I've always had good luck with Seekins AR stuff but they haven't done a 22 ARC upper yet hopefully they will soon.
Faxon has complete uppers in 22 ARC but just like Rise Arm. I don't know anything about them either.

After the first 100 rounds it is steadily giving me less than MOA groups. Not really tight groups. I should also add that I have not had good shooting weather when I have had the time to use the shooting bench. Dodging rain and a very cold wind isn't good for my shooting. I have shot two raccoons so far. Big fat ones. Exit holes are pretty big almost two inches across. Blood spatter on the far side is impressive. After this 500 bullets are gone I think I will try the 75 gr. ELDM. Wish a hog would linger just long enough on one of my bait piles when I am present. After Christmas I will be able to visit them more often upping the odds.
