Range test: Tan 20" MSAR STG 556

[Ray T]

I acquired this tan 20" MSAR STG-556 during the Christmas sale. I have been tied up and I didn't get a chance to break it in, until recently. My testing was conducted at a local outdoor range and a local P.D. indoor range.





Phase 1

I fired a variety of .223 and 5.56 loads through my rifle at the outdoor range. The loads that I shot were: PMC 55 gr FMJ Bronze, Federal XM 193 55 gr FMJ, PPU 62gr M855, and Fiocchi 55gr FMJ. A total of 500 rds that day.

I had only one FTF in the first 5 rounds. That was it. No problems at all during this range session.

Here is a 50 round rapid fire group at 100 yards using Fiocchi 55 gr FMJ. Not the best rapid fire group. I can usually do better.



Phase 2

Next range session was done in my local P.D. indoor range. I fired another 500 rounds (Winchester white box 55 gr FMJ 5.56, Fiocchi 55 gr FMJ, and Federal 55 gr .223 JSP). No problems at all!

Stay tuned for phase 3.
