plating ones bore

True. 3/10 shots into a dime I'd find a little more realistic.

Mini 14 defenders in 3..... 2....... 1........

If you're carefully shooting for groups, there's nothing weird about them opening up after a while from fatigue. 80 rounds is 16 five shot grouos... thats a lot of concentration if youre really trying. I would guess thats just the human element. Precision shooters will clean the bore frequently. Its possible fouling had an effect at that point. Is the gun brand new? Also better ammo always helps. Just keep shootin' it.

Click Boom,

All I was trying to do is get it sighted in a50 yards during that time cuz my upper is a shortie. Still though at 50 yards it should have grouped a little but all I got was a shot gun pattern instead.

Since I gave the bore a good scrubbing with a brush and solvent I could honestly tell you that the bore was heavily copper inside. The wet patches came out greener that my lawn and took practically a whole weekend to get it decently clean.

I will most definitely continue to shoot it out as far as my pocket book can afford. Let's hope a good sign will show up soon.

Thanks,
