Ruger AR15 BCG's are hot garbage

[zackmars]

If I could find a decent deal, I wouldn't mind picking up a wood stocked Mini. Mandatory Accu-Strut so it'd look like a baby M-14/M1A. Maybe it'd help accuracy, maybe not. Range plinker. Not everything has to be 1/4 MOA...unless you're a P.O. Ackley devotee.

If it were $500, even $700, sure. But at 1k i don't think it's unfair to expect 2-3 moa with good ammo and good optic.

I heard some extras on A-Team caught some grazers. A few requiring a band-aid. Could have been worse with blanks.

That was just spalling from the rounds hitting all the corrugated tin and car doors lying around.

I was under the impression that recent production rifles got better. NO?

A little. They handle barrel heat a bit better, throw less totally random flyers, but 2 MOA groups will not happen consistently.

So about common AK accuracy . I can handle that for a range toy.

I'll start liking ruger once they figure out why their QC department has disappeared.

The customer is the qc now for many companies. Sig is the same way.

Hmm.
A buddy has a couple of recent builds.
I'll try to remember to report back in a few weeks.

Mini and ak accuracy is interesting. Some just shoot better than others. I killed a lot of pest with a mini14 in my early 20’s.

It’s a good ranch gun with good varmint ammo. Remember: it’s not the same as trying to put tight holes in paper. It’s about getting body mass and blowing up the hell out of it.

 

[Sam7sf]

You can kill coon sized varmints at 150-200 yards with a good load and a cold barrel.

Please do.

Another SFAR, again super light staking, YFS screw.

Got to compare it to the pof rouge, the pof is much nicer, the key is dovetailed into the carrier. Staking was actually properly done

I like LWRC bolt carriers for this reason. All one piece, no screws or staking to worry about.

The problem with those is that a primer can potentially lodge in the key, and you wont be able to fix that.

How in the hell would that happen?

So you’re going to get an sfar when?

Over pressure plus an uncrimped primer. Its rare but can happen

I'd get the POF instead

I’m trying to visualize it. So, a primer, gets jammed up in or around the gas key area? What kind of hangover Monday engineering is going on?

Did they get people from keltec involved?

The f you say. You’re getting a ruger.
