Geissele finally got me

[markm]

It shot smooth with a suppressor mounted. I don't know which can was on the gun I shot, but it ran nicely... not too snappy.

[Pappabear]

it was a Surefire.

Absolutely concur, at least compared to 16” mod 2. Not to mention bolt may be stronger and isn’t proprietary.

How is the bolt stronger than the KAC?

I’m interested in the real world accuracy of these. I seem to remember some pretty ambitious claims made when they first came out.

To be fair I said it MAY be stronger. Regardless, reasoning is the Geissele bolts are forged whereas every other bolt to include the E3's are cut. While the E3 lug design is stronger then standard, the fact Geissele's are forged and done so out of a propietary Carpenter 158 steel means it MAY be superior. Only time will tell. The article below they go into greater about the bolts.

Sub moa with mk262 1.5” at 200.

Right around 2 moa with m855. I honestly never knew m855 could do that.

This is a 16 with razor 1-6.

Great article...and yes he does take care of the local LE guns if they run into issues..they can stop by the factory.

Still need to load up ammo for accuracy testing on mine.

The 14.5" and 11.5" models both run fantastic with a Surefire RC2 (so far using 55 and 62 gr hosing ammo).

I was tempted to buy another 14.5 at the sale. Guess I still could it ends today!

Multiple samples that are at least MOA-ish, some less. I'd have to look, but I think the worst of those shot for groups were ~1.5 or so.

1580 for that rifle is a deal.

The rest of G products have increased in price too drastically to justify.

I've been very tempted to pick one of these up as well, as I've heard nothing but good things. Glad to hear they perform well in the accuracy department too, and $1,580 is a great deal. Not sure you can get a higher quality AR for under $1,600.

Definitely give a full report when you have some rounds through it.
