    Good to hear I picked one up awhile back but haven't had the opportunity to get it to the range yet.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    I just tried running subsonics through it recently and they are not powerful enough to cycle the bolt. Accuracy was unaffected but I had to perform an immediate action on it every shot. Hopefully the shorter, supressed barrel from Gemtech will solve this problem. Until then, i'll keep running CCI Mini-Mags through it until it breaks.....

    CSPD bought a boatload of these. I tried one out two weeks ago and pronounce it GTG. It was a hoot to shoot.

    I've had mine for a couple months now. I have the MOE version. Haven't had any feed issues with a full mag. I do try to make sure all the rounds are staggered.

    I put a Leapers 4X32 on it and with a bipod I get 2" groups easily at 50 yards. I usually shoot CCI standard velocity. No issues with Mini-Mags (I prefer the round nose) or the Fiocchi 40gr. Plenty of misfires with the Winchester 333 ammo. I'll stick with the CCI standard for everyday plinking.

    The only thing that bugs me is the polymer/plastic charging handle. It just seems flimsy to me.





    Latest groups. Still need to bring the reticle to the left a bit. 2" at 50 yards is good enough for me.

    Ive got the SW Upper on a standard AR lower. I think it is made by Chiappa. Anyway, this way I can keep all the controls, stocks etc set up exactly as my M4.

    I also put a MOE foregrip on it and it seems very stable.

    I love it. It is fun to shoot, fairly accurate and CHEAP. It brings a smile to my face and that's all I ask.

    I bought one after Sixgun let my boy shoot his in April. I have a dedicated .22 upper, but I got this because it was light enough for my boy, who's 7, to hold and shoot well. An AR with a .22 upper is too heavy for him. He loves it, and does quite well with it. I tweaked the trigger just a bit to smooth it up, and it shoots so nice I like to take it out myself now and then. I'm even considering selling my dedicated .22 upper as I like the S&W so much.
