Ok so I wnet down to one of the Distributors with a friend who owns a shop this week . I wasn't going to get anything just kill a a couple of hour which I couldn't ride in because of the endless rain.
By the time I got there I had Decided on the MTAC Fast Fire Combo which I put on my FS2000 and because I had been thinking, perhaps obsessing about one of these I grabbed a MK22. This is the latest generation, and reportedly they have resolved the cracking stock and light primer strike issues.


So now I have a Tacticool 22 that may inspire me to drop the cash for a SCAR

Nice. Let us know how it runs. I keep hounding the guys at Academy about getting in a SCAR to go with the FDE .22 they have on the shelf. If I weren't so invested in S&W 15-22s I'd pick one up.

Awesome Ed. She rocks

Took the boy to the 100 yrd range yesterday. He can keep a 2 MOA with the (stock ) 15/22 (with 4-16 scope) without taking time to shoot between breaths (i.e. just shooting a shot every 2 seconds or so)

But my buddy travis can do sub-MOA @ 100yrds with his bull barrelled 10/22

I'm jealous.

I got to tune the AR pistol and the new 16" PSA standard AR. I let the boy shoot the pistol @25 yards with some M855. Needless to say on that AR500 steel target, the M855 made an impact that sent bursts of stars and sparks all over the place One impact had a grapefruit sized ball of sun at impact that was quite spectacular. It actually created small craters where it hit But I had to be certain the pistol would feed it without any issues. It passed but it won't feed steel cased Wolf ammo at ALL... Any help with that nhgunnut? Phase 5 pistol tube and spring, so the springs set up for pistol action.

Mossberg is suppose to release the 308 version of the 5.56 MVP series this summer. I'm interested to see it. The current MVP series takes standard AR mags. Since the 5.56 version takes standard AR mags, that makes for a great bugout companion gun to a short barrel AR in a bugout application. If the 308 version takes AR10A mags, then that would be an awesome bugout companion for someone with a AR chambered in 308

I haven't played with AR Pistols that much, but the geometry of the round is the same between manufactures . You don't mention what the pistol is doing but My guess is short stroking. The round fires but either doesn't eject or more likely doesn't feed the the next round reliably. The first question is how badly do you want to run cheap ammo? You culprit is most likely that wolf and (most of the Russian 223 rounds ) are loaded weaker than their western counterparts. Options in order of what I would try.
1 Decrease the Buffer Weight. ( you can buy a lighter buffer or do what I would do and knock the role pin out of the buffer, remove weight and fill the space with something light weight)
2 Try a lighter spring (or cut a coil) The caution to both of these fixes would be increased perception of recoil with the hotter US rounds. And if you see signs of over gassing like the bolt no locking back or damage to the case head you have gone to far.
These first 2 fixes can easily be undone with simple parts swaps and if you find a setup that works , you are free to keep 2 springs and 2 buffers that work with the ammo of the day. This last one is a all or nothing.
3 Last and I don't recommend it unless you have a spare barrel , is to take the barrel it to someone skilled and open the gas port slightly. I would really hesitate before I did that
Hope it helps

The 223 MVP cries out for a 300blk barrel with a can!

Yep...Short stroking. Ejects the spent cartrige but won't pull back far enough to cycle the next round.

After spending several hours on AR15.com it seems the wolf ammo does this to several new rifles. Big culprit was new buffer springs. Since everything but the upper (shell) is new on this pistol build, I really need to fire at least 500 rounds of nothing but good brass thru it to break it in before attempting the cheap wolf again.

Surprising, since the new PSA 16" ate it like candy but whatever.

One would HOPE that since the 308 version is due in the summer sometime, a 300blk would be in the works and I agree.
