Minute of Angle.  It's a way of measuring accuracy.  There are 360 degrees in a circle and 60 minutes in a degree.  So if you start a cone at the rifle's muzzle and project it out to the target it gets progressively larger the further out you go.  One minute is roughly a half inch at 50 yards, one inch at 100 yards , 2 inches at 200, etc.  It allows you to consistently describe accuracy regardless of distance to target.

Brain, what happened to "not if I want to stay married" ,lol.  Can you run subsonics and supersonics reliably through the same rifle with no mods or is it pick one or the other?  Of course POA, POI would be very different but that's up to the end user.

It was called selling off the old barrel so I could buy this one  ;D

Apparently with pistol length gas in a short barrel you can run both.  Worst case scenario is you need an adjustable gas block, but the guy who did my barrel said I should be fine without one. 

I would really like a low powered scope with mil dots for this, so I can work out the holdovers for both loads and use the dots to adjust accordingly.  I know holdovers aren't what mil dots are for but they do work for it.

Hmm, maybe the SS SWFA 1-4?  $$ though.
