Picked up an AUG M1 with the 3x crosshair-in-the-donut scope yesterday from my FFL yesterday and weather permitted me to hit the range today. Having done a little research I've read about how the scopes come un-sighted so I got a rough zero at home looking down the bore and dialed it in 25 then 50 yards at the range. Accuracy was pretty decent even with the stock trigger but I could almost swear there is a slight POI shift when the grip is folded up vs folded down. I'm not the greatest shot so it could have just been me though.
I was shooting Wolf Gold .223 while using the normal gas setting and was eventually ringing steel out to 200 yards.
I had three failures to feed out of 120 rounds fired which concerns me a little. I loaded and fired 5 rounds then 15 rounds out of the 30rd magazine that came with the gun (and my only mag at the moment) and had no issues. But when I tried to chamber a round on a fully loaded mag I had a failure to feed as the round was hung up between the bolt and the chamber. After clearing the rifle I re-inserted the magazine (now 29 rounds loaded), chambered a round without issue, and fired roughly 10-15 rounds before I had a second failure to feed similar to the first. This round was pretty boogered up compared to the first one but I was still able to drop the mag, shake the round out, and finish shooting off the rest of the mag. My third failure to feed happened midway through another full 30 round magazine and was same story as the first 2, caught between the bolt and the chamber, rest of the magazine fired fine. I loaded up another 30 rounds with the last of my ammo and had zero malfunctions. The first malfunction
could have been me riding the charging handle or inserting the magazine too roughly causing a round to pop up. I don't think I did either of those things but its possible. The other 2 malfunctions were halfway through a magazine though.
TL;DR: Do these rifles require a break-in period or are FTF issues in need of fixing?
