I took it to the range today and put 100 rounds through it. Function was perfect and accuracy was decent for 100 yards and brisk winds. My best 5 shot group was a 1 inch wide and 4 inch tall cluster. I will work on the trigger a bit and try again. I am so used to my Mini30, CETME and Garands that the .223 recoil felt like a 22 rimfire. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/johnrippert/AR15CARa.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/johnrippert/AR15CARb.jpg |

It is a J&T 16" lightweight A2 CAR kit with M33 front handguard and M4 tele stock on a STAG lower. I added a Badger Ordnance Tac Latch and have a vertical grip coming. The mags are 20 rd marked NHMTG Hartford, CT. It took about 1 1/2 hours to put together last night. |
 The trigger will break in, and that will help you with the breathing thing by being smoother. And a lighter trigger is nice, but a trigger that's too light is as bad as one that's too heavy.Edit: fixed my fix. I thought I knew board code...

I chose not to get a chrome lined barrel for monetary and accuracy reasons. I am unlikely to be slogging around the jungle not cleaning my rifle. The CAR kit and all options can be found here: http://webcats.net/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=J&Product_Code=C1C&Category_Code=K I went ahead and put together the second kit tonight. It is a J&T 20" A2 HBAR no-ban kit on a STAG lower with free float handguard. This is to be my entry to Service Rifle match competition. This one has a much better trigger than the CAR. I think I will order a RRA 2-stage trigger for the this rifle and put the trigger from this into my CAR. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/johnrippert/AR15A2a.jpg |
