I ordered the AA 24" barrel, bolt, standard flash hider and stripped upper combo. I ordered various components that I researched and assembled it. I did the barrel break-in 1/10 clean each shot, 5/20 clean after every 5th shot, and than 10/30 clean after every 10th shot. Initial shots were at 50yds. Once The break-in was completed I completely stripped and clean the rifle. Reassembled and sighted in to 600 meters. Accuracy is outstanding: 100yd zero 3/8th's inch -10 shot group. 600 meters 1.5 inch - 5 shot group. Then stripped and cleaned it.
After competing a a long range shilouette match. I shot a 20 rd series, 5rds each at 200m, 300m, 400m and 500m. I shot 20/20 ist round hits.
However, even with the heavy 24" barrel there is some barrel flip/lift which takes you off target for fast follow-ups. I ordered a "Millennium Compensator". It arrived today. But it's raining! So in a few days I'm going out to test the rifle with the new break.
I built a Mauser 98 in 308 that I added a muzzlebreak to and it shoots extremely well.
Good Luck with your build.
