It's cool.
Didn't have any problems with ANY ammo I ran through it, Wolf (eat shit and die Wolf bashers), WWB, gun show reload, Wally-World, mil-surp, nadda, zip nope, no problems at all.
I also didn't have ANY problems when I ran 40, 45, 55, and 62 grain ammo through the gun at 25, 50 and 100 yards. No keyholes, no exploding bullets, nadda, nothing, zip.
It does have a "different" feel to it, different than my lightweight Bushy/Oly Frankengun.
Specs:
CMMG 16 inch midlength barrel
A2 flash hider
A2 round hand guards
Bushmaster bolt and carrier assembly
Stag flat top upper
Eotech
Fulton carry handle with AO same plane sights
Rock River lower
A1 buttstock
A1 pistol grip
Took the Eotech off a carbine and set it on this gun and didn't have to adjust the sights.
Same with the carry handle.
I am not 100% "sold" on the whole midlength thing, but I like this AR.
Now will someone make a 16 inch pencil barrel midlength.
