        Heading to the range on the 17th to get her sighted in. I have seasoned the barrel..she shoots well!

            That is where you start with a clean barrel, shoot 1 round, disasemble and clean the barrel until black is just about gone. I repeat this about 5 times. Them do 3 shots and the same cleaning process. This process is also known as breaking in the barrel

              Beautiful rifle and welcome aboard.

              Did you bed the barrel into the upper by any chance?

                      Thanks for the compliments. I was able to get to the range today and get her sighted in. She shoots awesome! Time to start reloading my own

                            Me like. Particularly the hand guard. I too need to start rolling my own.
