That is sharp!
i had the will power to not buy guns. I even bought a gun store and work for a company that manufactures the forging machines for said guns. I need help.
8k of 300 win mag is impressive under any conditions. So hats off to you. It is unfortunately not mine. Belongs to a good friend I train and hunt with, who transferred it through my shop. He has about 300 rds (180gr Winchester, suppressed) through so far, and it only keeps shooting better.

Find what it is in life that you do not do well......and do not do that thing....
Almost done with a 6.5 Grendel. Aero Precision Texas Edition receivers, Odin Works 18” barrel and bcg, Lancer stock and AP Customs handguard. The Furniture is okay but can’t really say I like it, so I’ll probably change it out.

Yeah, but does it shoot? I was skeptical of the AR-15 chambered in 7.62x39mm, but I wanted to give it a shot (no pun intended). Thankfully, PSA took care of the biggest reliability issues with its complete upper/proprietary BCG:
- bigger gas port
- M4 feed ramps
- extended firing pin
Here is the positive feedback on that complete upper with BCG-- 5.0 out of 5.0 stars based on 130 reviews:

I took care of the final reliability issue with a C Products 10-rounder:
- reliable 7.62x39 STANAG magazine
Here is the positive feedback on that magazine-- 4.8 out of 5.0 stars based on 11 reviews:

I gave this rifle the crummiest test I could think of: steel-cased Wolf ammo. I fired 20 rounds each of 123gr HP and 124gr FMJ (40 rounds total), and had no issues -- no light strikes, no failures to eject (FTE)/failures to feed (FTF), nothing:
I understand that there is some skepticism of the AR15 chambered in this caliber. I honestly think that a lot of those fears are based off of secondhand/older internet rumors, but I get that some of you have gotten burned/learned the hard way.
Guess I've lucked out thus far....
