I had Paul at Model 1 build an 18" upper and have nothing but good results. Have only shot 123 gr hornady so far but very satisfactory results at 100 yards - 1.5", which is more than adequate for deer, dogs and hogs. Initially had feeding issues but these were due to me not shooting the gun with enough oil on the carrier and bolt. After that absolutely no issues. Using C products and ASC mags. Only a couple of hundred rounds thru it so far and happy with it. I plan on shooting ammo by Precision arms and my hand loads, which I'm positive will yield much tighter groups.
If I were to be a strictly long range target gun shooter then I might feel differently, but for my needs I couldn't be more satisfied.
