Re: Thinking about a 7.62x51 semi-auto rifle
I put mine together over the summer and test fired it; was reasonably happy with the groups but I didn't do much else with it that day since my focus was on chrono testing my 300 BLK and .45 Colt sub loads. I wasn't happy with the alignment of either of my cans on it so I am going to take the upper back apart, and have my gunsmith friend touch up the thread relief and shoulder. That seems to be the norm with Ballistic Advantage barrels.

I didn’t know that was an issue with BA barrels... that’s somewhat concerning.Netpackrat wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 8:47 pmIwasn't happy with the alignment of either of my cans on it so I am going to take the upper back apart, and have my gunsmith friend touch up the thread relief and shoulder.
