It's so quiet in here I thought I'd chime in.
I was finally able to go shoot my new build on Wed. I had purchased a complete Spike's upper many months ago but never even put it on one of the other lowers I got to shoot it. Fast forward to more recent times and I finally ordered a stripped lower from Spikes and slowly got the parts together and assembled the lower. I put about 200 rounds through the gun on Wed at the Mayflower range. I initially pumped several different brass round through it just to see how it shot. I also sighted in the Aimpoint that I moved from one of the other guns. When done with brass I finally pumped another 120 or so round steel cased 223 rounds. Not one single malfunction. Cool! The upper is 1:7 twist in the M4 profile. Used a mil speck buffer tube with "H" buffer and a Magpul ACS stock. I decided to pop for another red dot site from Academy. I got a Bushnell Trophy series 1 x 32 Tactical. It was less than $150.00. I know this is not really considered a good red dot. I installed it on the gun I pulled the Aimpoint from and sighted it in. I gotta say this site looks pretty good. I like the sight picture this one uses. I'll try to include pics. 
BTW this is not the new build. This is a S&W M&P. Here's what it looks like. Not quite in focus. Sorry! It has a green setting too. The Bushnell website says it's a 3 MOA dot. That's good but it looks smaller. 
Also shot my muzzeloader for the first time and got it sighted in. Today I went back out to Mayflower and shot my new Browning Buck Mark 22 pistol. I got the stainless model. It shoots sweet. I was surprised that I had no feed malfunctions with it today. |
| You know I read a post from someone else on the sight who recently got a Bushmaster 2 stage trigger and he was saying how good it felt and so much better than previous models. I looked on their site but didn't see anything about a new(er) 2 stage trigger so was wondering. |
