Alright, most all of this project was purchased through our wonderful Equipment Exchange so I will try to give credit where I can. I went to the range yesterday to sight in the last part I needed to make this project complete, my new to me triangle Reflex from Thompsonkrav. So the rundown is: Adco built .22 Upper using Spike's bolt with a Lothar Walther pencil barrel to emulate my Colt 6520 rifle. The .22 upper was purchased from Bub007 as new. I had to run down a carry handle and Reflex mount for the handle, my buddy John with Shooter's Supply in Fayetteville, NC really did me a great deal, Thanks. Here is a side by side shot of both rifles. 
I do need another CTR and black MIAD for the 6520 though. 
So, as I was saying, went to the range and got it sighted in and it shoots great! I have put over 500rds through this upper with only one FTE where the shell got trapped in the bolt. No other problems that were not ammunition related FTFs. Spike's has done a great job with their design and I am glad that I purchased their product. This pic is a target shot from 25yds elbow supported off table. Ten rounds using iron sights. 
I am sure, once properly supported and with optics, this rifle will produce really nice groups. If that is what you want, me, I wanted something that didn't cost me an arm and a leg to train with. Wes |
