That's wild. Tighten the bolt every 250 rounds.
EDIT 4:
Link shows off pictures of my rifle + GIF of a 3 shot group at 25m cropped heavily to make myself look better than I am. The sticker is a 4 inch circle.
Just heading home from the range, I don't have any accuracy to report but 80 shots of 5.56 with p mags, cross mags, lar/duramags, mct, and (fake? Came with the gun) p mags all ran 100% flawlessly.
The gun had absolutely 0 hiccups, other than one handguard screw backing out half way but that's fixed with Loctite, the muzzle brake got loose too so I just took it off.
My barrel was not bent thankfully, all I did was run a few dry patches down the pipe (from the muzzle end) before shooting, and wiped some of the excess packing grease off. It's a lot of fun and reminded me of the Chimera.
The bolt holds open after the mags empty, hitting the bolt release paddle worked every time and the last thing I did was rapid fire 20 rounds and it ran without issue. The barrel was skin scalding hot after that. However before that, I kept feeling it between mags and it held up pretty good, never got burn-hot.
The trigger has a pretty consistent 6.5lbs pull weight (as per my analog Lyman gauge). Handguard screws were approx 35 inch pounds from the factory. I never took anything else apart yet. Uhhh what else... Idk we'll see how she holds up.
EDIT: Forgot to mention the sketchy looking welds on the recoil arms. I'll update later with a picture but it's bad enough to question its durability over time. Remember it cycles like a semi auto shot gun, forgetting wtf that system is called idk I'm not a pro guys.
EDIT 2: Not sure if it's supposed to include one, but mine never came with a thread protector. I don't have anything to test the thread pitch unfortunately... will need to find a cheap thread protector somewhere. That kinda pissed me off, pretty annoying.
EDIT 3: Mostly shot PMC X-TAC 5.56 NATO 62gr and Magtech 5.56 NATO 62gr FMJ, didn't try anything else yet. No accuracy to report, that will come in the future if I care to share more about it later. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase so far as a casual plinker.
EDIT 3.5: I only tried the MLOK slots on the bottom but the handguard is indeed too thick for normal screws/nuts. I couldn't attach my BCM vert grip
that safety precaution for tightening the "spring cycle nut" (idk wtf to call it) every 250-rounds sounds absurd, wondering if some red Loctite or even blue would circumvent that.
