They gave me a 15.00 discount too. And free shipping. Ordered 3 mags to get to the 300.00 threshold.

My upper is on the way. Should be delivered Weds. No word from PSA on my lower yet. I'll put the upper on my SW lower and get the scope in for now. Also my 20 round mags from Gun mag warehouse are due in today.

I'll be testing my loads. :) I expect it to group better than a AK. Here is some group with my Ruger American bolt at 50 yards.

Im glad i have my MP 15. PSA did not ship my lower yet. At least i can use the lower from the SW. This is posted on PSA'S Site.
Due to pending legislation and until further legal notice, PSA will prioritize & ship All Orders to Washington State.

Dang i could have saved a few bucks over PSA. I book marked them. For future possibility.
My upper came. It's built like a tank! Tomorrow i plan on taking it on it's maiden voyage. My reloads chamber. So i should be good with out a small base die.

I put a buckmasters on mine. I have it on the SW lower for now. My 10 round mags are straight. Hope it don't cause feed issues. The 20's i got are curved.
I just patched mine. Carbon came out. I looked down the bore i could see the carbon with just a light. So i put some Hoppes elite in. Left it sit for 30 mins. Blue came out too. I hope i didn't get a return. If they test fired. I would think they would clean it.
It took awhile for me to through to them yesterday. I was calling to see if i needed to sign for my package. I got the carbon out too.
Im ready to take mine out. Just waiting for it to warm up. Im taking my 223/556 upper along too. I put quick release rings on it. I want to check zero, And i put a sound forwarder on it. So a test run for it.
Well i took it out. Started out at 25 yards, Got it close enough. Then moved to 50 yards. I was using up what S&B i had left. After it was used up. Went my loads. They jammed on the feed ramp. Im going to play with seating depth until i get them to feed.
I did my group test between the AR and my RAR. At 100 yards. The AR did terrible. I had some horizontal stringing with the RAR. I think it was me. The AR has 7lb trigger VS the RAR with a 3lb. I sure hope the AR improves as it breaks in.

Yes reloads. Im planning on playing with loads too. Im going to run some of my unique loads in at as a straight pull bolt. I should have tried that today. I was running them in my RAR. I had the AR loaded with CFE Black.

Im running Berry's .311 123 grain. I looked at the data.I have 2 other powders on hand. IMR 4198 and H335. I'll slug the bore then. If .308 i have 120 grain on hand. My RAR shoots good with both bullets. But i was concerned about gas cutting running .308 in it.

I slugged the bore with a 95 grain .312 coated cast bullet. It swagged it down to .306 on the flats. I couldn't measure the grooves. They were off set. So ill try .308.
I did some digging for others who had slugged at .306 and was successful
. Bear Creek upper blow up? [Archive] - Cast Boolits

A plus is with 120 grain .308. You can run them up 3000 FPS. I tried them in my 30.06 and no platting failure. My AR is a 1:10. Data for what i have in powders i can get 2500 and change. The owner of Accura outdoors told me this.
