You should have spent more on the sights and less on the shitty beta mag

Actually my fake acog ta-31 ecos arrived today, that'll be my primary optic. My friend has one for his Stag arms ar15 and after he got it zeroed, it's actually pretty accurate. 2" to 3" groups at 100 yards.

Finally went to the range last Thursday. The gun functioned flawlessly. I used four different mags made by Pro-Mag, Tapco, Troy, and Magpul. I fired 50 rounds of bulk Federal .223 and 50 rounds of Perfecta 5.56.
