unexpected surprise shooting the fightlite SCR ammo or gun? 

Thanks. I'll be sure to let you guys know.

Ever find out what the issue was?

That's what I figured, but I don't like to point fingers until I've ruled out all other options.

shooting tips and tricks Naw, I fully agree. But I'm pretty comfortable in my years of knowledge and even personal experience with Hornady 308 doing sumpin a bit similar about 2 years over the course of about a year plus, both here in California and Arizona where a friend lives.

I've used them in the past, they are really nice targets.

One of the main principle behind accuracy is having everything inline with the bore, that one of the factors that gives the ar-15 such high inherent accuracy. Having the buffer system offset from the bore can create variations like inconsistent bolt lock or tilt in the bolt carrier.

@@ShootingTipsandTricks but that doesn't get worked out by the barrel? I mean the carterage gets chambered for n the barrel, which lines up the round, and the bullet is long gone from the barrel before the recoil system kicks in. Where does the variations come into play? And I am not trying to be thick headed or anything. Genuinely interested.

@@HalcyonVoid The variation comes into play the moment the round is fired. At that moment the brass is slammed into the bolt face, then expanded to fill the chamber. If the brass is hitting a uneven or loose bolt head, it won't expand evenly, witch can cause pressure fluctuations and harmonic shutter in the barrel. Smaller cartridges like the 22lr and 17hmr can negate some of this due to the mass of the barrel being grotesquely more than the forces created by the cartridge.

@@ShootingTipsandTricks I see, thanks for the explanation.

@@HalcyonVoid No problem.

just1more Ares SCR now branded and sold by Fightlite and Ares. Lowers are about $550-600. Full guns run $1000-1400. Better to build from their lower. You get ALOT better upper for that total cost.

Bubbafied 375CT what upper would you suggest that performs better than theirs?

OspreyBravo18 For the lack of furniture on theirs AND the fact you've gotta buy their bolt catch for $35...almost any upper built is better than their options, but you're still forced to buy their bolt catch. It should come with it standard!

OspreyBravo18 Building off their lower, I got a 300blk barrel, low pro block & tube, 10.5in quad-rail and a Gibbs G4 upper for a grand total of $1300. If I could build off of a real AR15 lower, that price would be about 1000ish. Personally, I'm goin M1A for that pricing... Alot more weapon for about the same pricing.

just1more worth it if you aren't moving out of a state like CT for 4 years.

I agree.

You can just buy the lower.

Just purchase the lower and bcg. Any upper works with it.

@@boss350z5 right, and the best part about it is that is still CA legal

I'm pretty sure that's an optical illusion and that it is actually attached to a mount that is attached to the top-front of the handguard.

sky rebecca Its mounted to the rail and just hangs over the barrel. It's a goofy ass bipod, but it doesn't touch the barrel at all.

sky rebecca its never the operators fault....

Good to know. Before this the only issues I've had with them is poor accuracy.

Ammo.

If the bullets are touching the lands it can cause pressure spikes and premature thought erosion. Optimal seating depth is five to ten thou. off the lands, some production ammo can be as much as twenty thou. off. Barrel twist is 1:7 inches.
