my stainless CMMG kit in a 14.5in. BM does 2 to 3in. groups at 30meters with every brand that I've tried & thats with a 3X9 scope & match trigger ..the wild groups & the fact that it spits smoke & residue back in the upper from the gas tube forced me to buy a 15/22...that's what I told the wife anyway..... oops
...take care ....Kent
I'm sorry to hear you're getting such poor accuracy from your bolt. With the exception of Remington ammo, I've never had much of an issue with residue in my upper and lower receivers with the other ammo I've used. I've been tempted to buy a dedicated upper, but I'm very happy with the accuracy I'm getting. Like you, I may have to give my wife a cover story to justify buying one in the future though.
Kendak:
Is your BM 14.5 a 1 in 7 or 1 in 9?
People have reported so-so accuracy in the 1 in 7s - some really awful groups.
That said: My friend has a Colt M4ish upper (that I sold him cheap
), 1 in 7 and runs a Ciener kit I gave him. Says at 50 yds it shoots under 3 inches and he's very happy with it. He runs only CCI MiniMags cause that ammo works in his Kimber .22 1911 conversion.
YMMV
OT: Now it's off to Thanksgiving lunch - Turkey, stuffing, ham with cherry sauce, baked yams, mashed potato, etc., etc. - will not post again to ARF.com till I recover.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
