    Range test: Tan 20" MSAR STG 556

    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.

    Thumbs up

    Very nice looking shooter. I've got a black MSAR STG 556 with a 16" barrel. I will take it to NRA Range this Friday night.

    That Tan STG look's great.


    Ive been on the fence for a few weeks now on wether to get one or not but I been waiting for review's like this one and I like what I see.


    That skateboard tape behind the ejection port?


    My only choice's if I do get on are Tan/blk or o/d all 16" or a 18.5" E4 setup.


    decision's decision's!

    The skate board tape keeps the stock from getting dinged up by some of the ejected cases.

    The tape is an old AUG trick to keep the stock nice and nick free.

    Others use velcro, electrical tape, duct tape (100mph tape) and such.

    Thanks!

    The blade is a Grayman Merdeka.

    I went with the STG with it's proprietary mags because the AUG mags have proven in the past to be reliable and durable. Plus, the L.E. cost for the STG mags were quite reasonable.
