JD-Man Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Bought this from a local gunsmith. Don't have the whole build list, but it is mostly all Aero and a 20" BA SS barrel. Initially had some issues with the bolt not locking back on an empty mag and reliable ejection. Gunsmith replaced the bolt after working over the buffer spring to no effect. After the replacement bolt, all has been great. It has an adjustable gas block that had to be run full open, now I can run it at 3/4 open.The factory trigger seems like it is heavy, but crisp, about 6-8 lbs. That and an ambi safety are first on my list of desired upgrades. Otherwise, the gun is a champ.The targets are from today. First is Federal GM 168gr BTHP and the second is Silver State Armory (Cabelas) 168gr BTHP. Tried some 149gr and some PPU, but did not have very much luck with that. These are two if the best groups from today.Glad I have a big brother for my AR-15 20" bull barrel varminter and 16" M4gery,JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
