Nice looking gun! Yeah, Ill have to get back in shape and down a few cans of spinach I guess. " The older I get the better I used to be" comes to mind. I will stick to the owners manual recommended break in, just checking for end user experience and tips. I did call Armalite about the trigger and was directed to a tech note on the web site that involved shims, filing and or taking the trigger out etc.....Was told that if that didn't work to contact them again for the next step.....not impressed.......guess its just the luck of the draw... Thanks for the info JEB

The Gisselle is the direction I was thinking as well. Just kinda not happy about putting $$$ into a brand new rifle. Probably would have going that direction at some point though..... I found a store with a nice batch of ammo I think should be good for the break in. American made, only 150 grain but a good brand I shall run it very wet as you suggest.

Just got the new SASS and the trigger has a pretty rough spot in it. Everything else looks good so far. Pretty good/OK fit between the upper and lower Kinda surprised the" Match Grade "2 Stage trigger Armalite installs is not better. I was hoping buy buying the SASS I could avoid upgrades altogether or at least for a while. Looks like a trigger upgrade may be sooner rather than later which kinda annoys me when paying this much for a firearm. I have had my eye out for an AR and went ahead and pulled the trigger especially with this new Governor we just got in Virginia. I have been a pistol and shotgun guy for personal defense and was looking for any tips on the break in for the new AR 10 SASS. One specific question is it OK to use 150 grain less expensive ammo to break in and then switch to 168 to dial it in. Also when keeping the weapon at the house when not being used for target shooting I was thinking of outfitting it with a 2 MOA red dot and a vertical grip/bypod. Thanks
