SOLGW MK10 Pro First Blush

**RichinVA** · 11-01-16, 15:52

First impressions SOLGW MK10 Pro

* Much lighter than I imagined (weight to follow)
* Vltor VC-301 installed in lieu of specified BCM Mod 1. Not sure why, have emailed a ? to SOLGW.
* Did not receive 'H' buffer specified. Have emailed a ? to SOLGW.
* Lubed well with Slip EWS prior to shooting.
* First shots were with D&H 20 round mag, orange 'no-tilt' follower that actually tilts...... Gun would not cycle. At all. Would chamber from a closed bolt, but very sluggish. First shot locked it up. Rifle shot 100% with Pmags. (D&H mag now doing vice block duty...........)
* Nice recoil impulse, rifle shot very soft with several different types of ammo. (Win 147 white box, Magtech, MEN M80, ADI 168 Sierra)(side note: Magtech seems very light powered...)
* Positive extraction, VERY positive ejection with the LMT dual ejector setup. Ejection pattern ranged from 3:00 to 5:00 depending upon ammo.
* CMC trigger is sweet!
* Very accurate, especially with MEN M80. Will bench this weekend for better test. All shooting was done off Harris bipod.
* Pics and better write-up after I get time.

Will try and answer any questions if anyone is interested.

Thanks for your write up. I should be getting mine soon. Do you own any lancer 308 mags? They have worked the best for me in the past.

No Lancers. All Pmags with the exception of 2 D&H mags, er, vise blocks........again, rifle ran fine with the 20 round Pmags.

When you say it shot "very soft", do you mean for a .308, or in general?

For a 308. Definitely not a 223, but much milder than I was expecting. S-I-l shooting said the same thing.

Awesome. I'm thinking about another rifle, and SOLGW are on the radar. I already have a .308, but am considering going that direction again anyway.

Thanks for the reply.

Definitely interested in more info/accuracy report when you get to it.

I'm eyeballing the Mk10s which appears to be the same base rifle without the upgraded BUIS/trigger/comp.

Please update this when more info is available

Thanks!
