Lone Star Armory TX15 Multi Purpose Carbine, Enhanced, upcoming T&E

[Double Naught Spy]

We have now had the LSA TX15 to the range twice and taken it hunting. The range work went well. The gun cycled with no problems, regardless of the 6 different types of factory ammo or even Ben's reloads. We each shot for groups with the ammo and for the most part, group sizes between the shooters were fairly consistent based on ammo type. Sometimes Ben's groups were better. Sometimes my groups were better. Everything shot was sub 2 moa, which would make it reasonably huntable at typical hunting distances inside 200 yards. However, the Bartlein barrel with it 1:7.5" can do better. The two factory loads that worked best were Alexander Arm's 90 gr. TNT (several years old) and Federal Premium Berger AR Hybrid OTM 130 gr. Both shot MOA or better for both shooters with the AR Hybrid OTM producing just over a 1/2" group at 100 yards.

My only real complaint about the rifle at this point is non-function-related. I don't like the Magpul MOE grip all that much. This differs from Ben who not only likes it, but has the same grip on another rifle. I would probably also change out the B5 Sopmod buttstock for use in the field (reducing bulk and weight), but it was a real pleasure to use for range work as I was able to get what I field was a very comfortable cheek weld.

Here is the video. Ben covers some of the aspects of the manufacturer and of a couple of the features of the rifle. Group sizes are shown.
