So I had a chance to trade into one of these rifles and get some cash to boot so I figured what the hell why not? I got the gun almost new with 2 HK 40rd mags and the instruction book too. It didn't hurt that I was coming out on top in the deal.
I researched these guns quite a bit before agreeing to the deal, and from what I see there is a 200rd break in period give or take a few rounds. Now the kid I got it from said he shot about 30 rds through it, I don't even think it was that much from the looks of the insides. He also said it had feeding or ejecting problems.
My first though was bolt gap, but that's sitting between .015-.013 ish. So I'm figuring it needed lubed( was bone dry) and she needs some ammo ran down range. So enter 240rds of the cheapest steel 223 I could get. I've herd that's what these prefer so what the hell right?
Here it it with a Multicam Sling I made for it.
I'm heading out tomorrow for an initial test run with some cheap steel and some federal ammo. Will report how she does.
