I picked up a new piece on Friday, a DPMS Mod A-15 with chrome lined 16" barrell.
Now I've been wanting something that looks a little more like an M4 than does my Bushy 20" H bar for a long time, but I never expected any kind of accuracy out of such a short Bbl... That is until I got to the range and started punching paper.
I zeroed it in at 50 yards, open sights, and was impressed at the group, so I moved out to 75 yrds thinking it would fall apart here, but was pleased to find that even with the open sights I was able to keep 10 rounds inside, or just outside of a 2" C-more type target .
At 100 yards, it would hit an old military helmet every time (to my glee) and pierce completely through it including the inner liner.
While I know (or have heard) that the standard for the AR-15 was to hit a man sized target at 300 meters... Can I expect this accuracy from my Carbine?
As a novice/non-competitive benchrest shooter, I am already impressed, but would like to hear results from you old salts that have much experience with .223 carbines.
