I have the spikes NiB trigger group as well and it's very nice!
Well I have also had it out at the range twice in the last two weeks. 300 rounds each day, with a total of 600 rounds of .223 American Eagle 55gr through the gun. Not a single double feed, stovepipe, FTF, FTE. I'm impressed with it.
I did however make a noob mistake and lube the HECK out of it (as in it was bleeding oil out of the pins) thinking it was a good idea for the break in period. I cleaned it after each 300 round session, and boy does that NiBor BCG really make cleaning a breeze.
It's a really nice piece to shoot, and as a side note the included spikes buffer does make the gun noticeably less clanky when shooting in a side-by-side comparison.
fwiw, my brass always ejects at exactly 2:00. At first I thought it was great, but the more I read I'm beginning to wonder if maybe it's a little over-gassed. I'm not going to change anything because I'm a "if it works, don't fix it" kinda guy, but I just thought I'd throw it out there. The other reason I wondered is because the brass is consistently dented midway down the case. It's been hitting the crease of the shell deflector like clockwork, which I also understand to be an over-gas symptom. My next idea is to try and run a round that isn't as hot, such as some steel case wolf and see if it changes the ejection pattern at all.
let me know what you guys think.
Did another 300+ today through mine.
150+ WPA (Wolf 55 gr )
150+ XM193F
Shot only at 300 yards on 8" steel. ( did burn 1 mag at 600 and only got a Single hit with the WPA ) My hits with the WPA were around 50%, with the XM193 it increased to about 70%. Pretty damn good numbers for this trigger puller.
I had no problems with either ammo or the gun. I was even shooting from CProducts mags.
Same ejection point on mine but I don't see that it's hitting the shell deflector at all on any of them. It was extremely consistent in it's empty placement, don't know if that is indicative of anything on an AR or not. I was kneeling and using a shoulder height rest at one point, and there was a 4x4 post at my 2pm about three feet away and every round in the mag hit that post and fell in a pile at the base of it, everyone kinda looked at it and said "huh". I like it myself, keeps from dinging the guy next to you if there is one. Seems like my old M1A did that years ago too.
