    Remember that you can time it and STILL use too much torque. So my first guess is that you have too much pressure. Install it with about 20LBS of pressure and see what it does.

    Grant,

    I just realized that he had the barrel chopped and pinned so unfortunately it looks as if he is screwed.

    I would have thought that after doing a chop and pin job they would have test fired it.

    So what do you want us to say? There are many of hundreds of Battle Comps being used and they seem fine.

    In any case you are going to have to contact ADCO since the barrel has been chopped and pinned.

    Why would you spend all that money at ADCO when you were having problems BEFORE the chop job? Were you under the impression it would come back shooting good when it wasn't before?


    Did you do any testing with the parts before sending it off? Like 4-5 10 shot groups with a regular A2 and then 4-5 groups with the BC?


    Before pinning did you contact BC with your concerns?



    Seems like some prior testing and communication could have avoided this...

    I told adco exactly what was going on and that I suspected poor instalation and sloppy timing instructed them to properly install, time, and test fire. They said "okay" . I did my part. Maybe thier definition of accuracy differs from mine.

    I think you should have resolved the issue prior to shipping it to them rather than assuming what the problem was. Now you still have the same problem except worsened by the fact you have a welded muzzle device on there now.



    As to how to move on from here I would cut my losses and take the BC off. Try something else.

    As someone that builds guns for other people, "test firing" has zero to do with shooting for accuracy (FYI).

    Very few to any gun smiths will shoot a gun for accuracy UNLESS the customer pays for it. This can be quite expensive process. So if you did not pay for this service, then you did not get it.

    I specified to test for accuracy and informed them in detail why. Tough crowd here. Just wanted to know if this was a common problem with a bc.

    Really? What was the test? What price did they quote you to do said test? How many rounds were requested and what was the ammo to be used??
