BSF Range Report/First Shots

[fixin]

I took the gun out today and dumped the first mags through. Quite frankly, I couldn't be happier with the results. The gun, once I tuned the gas system and rezeroed my optic, shot to my expectation and then some. The barrel is worth it, my muzzle break heated up quicker than the front end of the barrel. Periodically after firing a string of groups I would purposely grab the barrel, not once did I feel it get beyond luke warm. I fired 120 rounds through it, I shot some groupings pre-break-in and then after break-in I have pictures below(I know, that's a little dumb... but if it is stupid but works, not really stupid). Recoil on the gun felt less than my 18in once I got the gas system dialed in. Weight on the gun feels no different that my previous setup and the barrel balanced out quite nicely. Group sizes... the thing that all of y'all are waiting on, as you can see from the photos below, are quite promising. As far as I can see, that barrel and gun, given some time to 100% settle in, IS GOING TO SHOOT!!! Hands down, one of the best purchases I have EVER MADE!!!!! I am sad that I didn't hop on this train sooner. Now I did have some variables today 1. I don't use a sled or sandbags(I know I should, however I am a dirty sinner and don't lmao) and 2. the range I shoot at has some pretty loose(putting nicely) tables and seats that wiggle and wobble when you sneeze wrong on a good day. So when taken into account, realize that my groups are worse case scenario in every way possible as noted with a couple of photos. The 2 photos you see without the break-in title are both after break-in, the pre break-in flyer is me pulling the shot. I hope you guys enjoy the thread as much as I enjoyed making it. I also hope this helps anyone looking to upgrade to carbon fiber, but don't want to pay Proof Research price tag.
