Talking LWRCI Range report

LWRCI M6A2 Photos with LaRue Mount, Harris Bipod and TA31G





So far the rifle has seen about 600 rounds or so with no malfunctions.
Yesterday we shot a combination of PMC Bronze, Wolf (Yes...) and 75gr TAP.

One of the shooters from yesterdays get together shot a Sub 1MOA group at 100 with X193 ammo. This rifle is really starting to impress. At 500 meters hitting metal rams were no problem with 75 Gr TAP (It did take 5 hits for them to drop though....)

This is what a piston bolt looks like after a 450 round day at the range.



I was pretty impressed with the 75gr TAP practice ammo. Its strange that the TAP uses steel cases rather than brass...... regardless I was pretty impressed with the ammo and will probably pick up more at River City Gun Exchange. At under $23 for 50 rounds these rounds are a bargain.

The only complaint all day was that the Harris Bipod kept coming loose around 200 rounds. This rifle continues to impress.

I keep telling folks that those "training" loads are great stuff. I've shot a bunch of it, and it never fails to feed or function whatever I'm shooting it through, and it is extremely accurate.

Thanks for the report, LWRC make quality products.

Damn nice rifle. I always drool over that LWRC REPR that's on their website. Maybe one of these days.

It just gives us more of an excuse to stop by River City Gun Exchange again to check out the goodies and pick up more TAP ammo. Hopefully they have more in stock. That was really good stuff. Next time we up ammo, we'll have to take the gong out to 300 yards

Since the M6 is the cheapest, I figured all LWRC's had 1 piece now...
I got mine just before they went to the 1 piece carrier. Not really all the worried since that carrier keys are pressed into the bolt carrier, screwed down then staked. IIRC on the LWRCI forum they went to the 1 piece design because the keys were such a PITA to press into the carrier.
