    I've had no issues with any sort of brass sticking. I really like this rifle. Had a group of 30 people up the other day and they all shot it once. All the women hit the target. Men... Not so much

    The rifle now has a Alberta Tactical Rifle lower installed. The ATR lower is very beefy, looks more streamlined than a regular AR15 lower and the upper/lower attachment system is much more solid. I'm eager to try this out again at 475 yard to see if there has been any accuracy change, but since the snow is now waist deep at our range, it is probably going to have to wait a few months before I can walk up the hill to put up a target.

    Very nice! What kind of Scope and bipod do you have on there?

    Scope is a Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44 BDC and it has 30mm Vortex rings

    Bipod is $25 of materials welded and shaped into a bipod with adjustable legs. It's heavy, doesn't pivot or do anything cool, but it's solid and stands up under the weight of this heavy rifle. I don't anticipate packing this rifle far from the truck so it's not really an issue.

    The PRS is a nice addition to the rifle, feels fine and is adjustable.....and most importantly, it looks cool.

    Great pics! I have a similar rifle - it was one of the 2 that ATRS assembled and then sold as complete rifles. I've had it since the summer but have yet to shoot it. What are you using for lube/grease if anything? I ask because of the note included with the upper about always using grease. Cheers.

    I don't think I saw that note. What did it say? I have just used G96 on it.

    It's on the 3rd (last) page of the paperwork for the DA50 upper. It says "Bolt must have Moly grease on back of bolt lugs and in cocking ramp".

    Ah, ok. Just standard back of the lugs grease job. I thought it was something weird.

    I just use a little silver tube of moly grease from NAPA on all my bolt action lugs, except when really cold.
