AR accuracy issues

[RARGUNS]

Why wait? It's their money.

I'm curious as to what it is.

I have to ship it at my expense there. They will probably pay to ship it back. I still don't know if they will cover it under warranty as I cannot fid my reciept. Hopefully they will take care of it.

DPMS called yesterday and told me they are hoping to test my upper this coming week. It is very cold up there and the range is outdoors. He said 35 below, I can understand a delay. Should have it back soon though. Great customer service so far.

I'm betting on the front sight or the barrel nut being loose.

We goofed around with it a while back and the front sight base was loose and would wiggle from left to right. That does not explain the groups it puts on paper. If you look at the target JMG8550 posted it has decent grouping from right to left but not up and down.

Curious to see what the problem is

as am I
I have had little/No problems with my DPMS.
99.9% of my accuracy issues are shooter related

I Would like to have seen a Target/card with the weapon fired from a sled/rest.
Nothing against OP but I find that they remove allot of the "variables".

I have no access to a sled otherwise thatwould have been my next step. I am a pretty good shot prone though. I can put a sub moa group at 100 yards with my M1A prone and slinged up.

I have one AR that is getting better but I know how ya feel. I sometimes go back to what I call my sanity check gun. If the groups come back with it then I know it is the gun and not me.

I am not any kind of match shooter like some friends of mine but I do ok fighting the NRA HP targets. I also like a challenge so my poison of choice is a FAL. I have one that has turned out to be a 2.5 moa shooter if I do my part.

On another note my latest AR has a 1-9 barrel and seems to shoot the 55gr as well as the 62's. It was more sensitive to length than load.

I can vouch for him. He can shoot better than me most times.......but thats ONLY because he has a super match m1a

5moa groups for him is not normal. I would bet 20 bucks it the rifle in some way, shape or form.

Well my upper is in the mail being sent back as we speak, they said it had no problems and they tested it with 69 grain match ammo from Federal and Remington. Hopefully they included a target. They also said that 55 grain bullets are too light for a 1-9 twist barrel and I should shoot no less than 62 grain pills. Is this really true? It is a 16 inch barrel with a standard M4 hand guard. They didn't say how well it grouped. I should receive it Monday. It's about time though, they've had it since the beginning of January. I understand it has been cold, but this long to get it back? Springfield's turn around time has been 3 weeks tops for me, and I've sent stuff to them 3 times so far for various work to be done.
