    They make a decent AR15 clone. Beyond that, I wouldnt mess with their stuff having had some experience with their experimentation in the full-auto field...and my opinion of the AR10 is well known.

    My Bushy 16'' M4 1/9 twist stabilizes 75gr rounds beautifully.

    I like my Armalite and have never had any problems with it. It's a great gun from what I can tell.

    At what distances have you shot the 75gr ammo at?

    Some barrels will shoot 75gr okay -- either inside 100m -- OR it will be noticed its more of an 1:8 barrel --- best way is to rod the barrel and determine the twist that way.

    I've seen a few Armalite and BM's that where closer to 1:7 (as in over 1:8) than 1:9 - despite being marked on the barrel 1:9.


    Second point as was beaten TO DEATH in the BM thread -- one rifle does not a valid statistical sample size make.


    When a department has a whole lot of bad guns -- thats a clue. When trainers see guns with re-occuring problems in a certain name brand or two -- thats also a clue.

    One gun working well -- well good for you, its supposed to -- its not something to brag about.

    This is what I was hinting at. A 1/7 twist barrel shoots a 55gr bullet just fine to about 110 yards and then we typically see all kinds of weird things happen. Same goes with 1/9 twist and 75/77gr ammo. Might work might not and might also only work well to 100yds.

    100yds is the farthest Ive tried so far. It shoots about a 2 inch group.

    Shoot past 100yds and see what you get.
