It's tax time...

<< < (6/8) > >>

KGillen:
Having been told "2 or 3 more weeks" one too many times I decided to take Dan W's advice and not wait...any longer. Checked out a whole bunch of websites, settled on Armalite, emailed them my order, had the upper TWO days later...

Finally got to go out to Hamburg bend with her this aftrernoon to put her through her paces. Learned a couple things A) I think my P-mags need broken in a little, and B) I need to invest in a MUCH better riser for my scope...(was a wee bit over budget, took the cheapo route, now I am paying dearly in accuracy)

One issue, maybe y'all can help me with, I had no FTF, FTE, but sometimes it wouldn't feed the next round completely and get snagged up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Pics to come, gotta scale 'em down, maybe one or two of my better (though still not that good) groups, and the rifle herself.

In my opinion it probably isn't the pmags.  I have a total of 19 pmags that i bought at different times and places and none of them required a break in period.  Never had any problems with a pmag feeding.   If you store your pmags loaded make sure you store them with the supplied cover snapped on the feed lips.  If you keep them loaded and without the cover there is a possiblilty the mag can split.  I have seen a few that guys from work have had split due to loaded storage without covers.

Never kept 'em stored loaded as I just completed my rifle, you are however probably correct, my thinking they need broken in probably has something to do with the feeding issue.

Nothing too scientific, just breakin it in...got the new scope mount after I got back from shooting, now to find somebody with the tools to get that free-float quad rail put on...OD green handguards...not my favorite (I do however have some black Krylon  :laugh: )
