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.
