24" Radical Firearms barrel and Schedule 40 Handguard
#6
I shot $10 of Wolf steel ammo today with my 24" Radical Firearms barrel with 22" handguard and bipod.
The rifle was almost too long to fit on the bench.
There was a lot of movement in the scope as compared to the Lead Sled I normally use as I was propping up the grip with my left fist.
In spite of that I shot my best 5 shot group ever with Wolf steel ammo.
After about 10 rounds I noticed that recoil had pulled the handguard partly off the barrel nut.
I loosened the hose clamp and reseated it. I will have to drill and tap into the barrel nut for some screws.
Other than that function was flawless. I was shooting with a gas block and there was no FTF or FTE.
I shot 2 boxes of ammo in 5 round groups with the muzzle brake and without.
The results were better without the brake then I put the brake back on and shot group #7 at 1.5 MOA for 5 shots.
Isn't the bullet from Wolf steel ammo designed to be unstable? That could be why they are all flyers.Big Grin
