| I just had a carbine built from all colt parts. It's a M4 barrel with the 9-1 twist with a Kurts Kustom muzzle break installed and m4 handguards as well. So far the performance is not what I expected. I'm use to shooting a 20' match rifle. Can someone tell me what type of accuracy I can expect from this thing? Thanks |

Under 2 MOA at 100 yards, with quality ammo. More typically, around 1.2-1.5 MOA. Expect less with military FMJ ammo. Also note that if you're using iron sights, that the shorter sight radius makes it more difficult for you to hold and aim as well. The figures posted above assume a scope to remove the sights from the equation. But, hey, this ISN'T a match rifle anyway. It's a rifle designed to be fired off the shoulder in combat conditions. -Troy |
O.B. Dude, you state your carbine has a 1:9 twist barrel. What weight bullet are you shooting and what brand ? (Ballistic tip, mil surplus, hunting round ?) You're measuring your accuracy at what distance ? Are you shooting with a scope/mount, added iron sights or what ? |
