Carlos, now that you've have a couple of months with the gun what are you overall impressions? How is the weight and balance? Does it seem to be gassed acceptably with 5.56 pressure ammo?
Sorry for the late reply. Well I’m not educated enough to say if it’s gassed acceptably. But, So far it only has 556 ammo through it, it ejects a pretty nice pile at 2:30ish about 2feet or so in the prone.
oh, wait I did shoot 30 rounds 77g black hills match .223 ejection was about the same but I didn’t pay to close attention.
I’ve been using magpul gen 3 and Mil-Spec blue follower mags with zero problems so far.
I am going to change the grip to a BCM Mod 0. I prefer grips with out the beaver tail and my daughter (10yrs old) will be using it for deer this year if she gets drawn. With 5.56 70g Barnes TSX (I think)
It doesn’t bother me and I don’t hear it every time but it did/does have the three prong flash hider “Twing”. I’ll pay more attention next time.
quality, fit and finish seems to be on par with my old BCM but like I said I’m not educated enough to make a good recommendation based on my limited knowledge. It goes “bang” every time and accuracy (with my aimpoint) has been really good so I’ll take it. I’ve shot a few 2” or less groups at 100m and a few slightly larger than quarter size at 50m.
I was going to put a 20x or so scope to check accuracy with 69-73-77g ammo bit it will hardly if ever have that scope on so I don’t see the need.
Eventually hopefully not to far in the future I will replace the aimpoint with a:
1st choice: Razor 1-6
2nd choice: PST 1-6
3rd choice: XTR 1-8
Want the Razor but more than likely it will get the PST (commander n’ chief nor likening the Razor price ) or maybe a 2-10 xtr 2 as my daughters hunting scope and keep the aimpoint... decisions decisions......
Overall I’m happy with it and so far I would buy again.
Hope it helps
