Went today expecting to run through a few boxes of 5.56 I had accquired long before I even got my rifle. Much to my surprise there were only 3 people shooting today! There was no wait so I proceed to set up and then it starts to go bad... Setting up my stuff I realized I forgot my FSP adjustment tool, there went any chance of zeroing my gun.
The RO comes over for the ammo check and only 22 rounds passed the test.... I had one box of PMC bronze plus 2 loose rounds, and 6 boxes of the PMC xtac green tips that I couldn't shoot. What a waist of time to go shooting for 22 rounds, DOH! The gun handled well and accuracy out of the box was ok shot about an inch to an inch and a half low at 50 yrds, although I suspect that is due to me changing out the carry handle for a MBUS. I shot mostly off of the sandbags but did stand up for a few rounds and the gun handles nicely, just wish I could have shot it more. I don't think its even worth cleaning for so few rounds but probably will anyway just cause that's how i am
I knew I should have taken the pistol along, at least I would have filled the full 30 mins, oh well.
Total round count so far out of the Model 1: 22 flawless rounds. 11 from the supplied metal GI mag and 11 from a PMag.
