Snowy Day at the Range!
Got to take my freshly stamped SBR to the range today. It snowed yesterday, but was really comfortable today. Put about 150 rounds through my new build today. I am extremely pleased with my results.
After about 60 rounds I did have a couple failure to go into battery issues but I cleaned it and lubed it generously and the issues stopped. I think I under lubed it for the cold weather, but it also felt like the spring felt weak. Stopped by the LGS on the way home and picked up a Wolff extra power spring and it feels much better going into battery now. I was running an H buffer with a can and my brass was flying out at about 1 o'clock so I think the extra power spring was going to be necessary anyway.
Critical specs for the build are:
- Criterion 11.5" CL barrel 1:7 twist
- JMT Block Ops flat trigger
- Riton Mod 7 1-5x scope
First picture is just a random picture of my range in the snow. Second picture is 44 rounds on target. Third picture is another 20 rounds on target after a slight windage adjustment to the left. I was just shooting PMC X-Tac 55 gr plinking ammo. I was just putting rounds on target as quickly as I could recover with the front on sandbags and unsupported rear. I was trying to be accurate but was not stopping to think about each trigger pull. I think with some good ammo, it will be be able to shoot sub moa 5 round groups at 100 yards.
