BCL 102 MK7 Range Report

nice groups, ejections probably due to some break in work needed. I'd clean it and manually cycle it a couple hundred times dry to look for wear spots.

Thanks. I was quite surprised at my results to be honest. I expect the gun would need time to break in so I'm not too worried about ejection. I will look at doing your recommendation and see if it improves.
 
Nothing wrong with that accuracy. If These rifles run good looks like BCL has a winner on their hands.
 
Did you crimp the bullets on your reloads?
I thought those semiauto would require a crimp, but the bthp you used don't have a cannelure.
 
Thanks. I'm going to load up some of the campro 147 grain FMJ and see how the "cheap stuff" will shoot. Hoping to achieve a nice target load with the 168s and then a minute of steel plate load with the fmj ammo. I will update with my results

If you don’t mind let me know how your loads for the 147gr campro go I have a bunch of powders and not sure where to start but I picked up 1000 of these the other day. Thanks in advance.
 
Function: The gun experienced 1 stove pipe in the first 5 rounds. I was using some hornady factory whitetail ammo I got for sighting in my scope. After that issue, I didn't experience a single stoppage. I did notice ejection was erratic. Sometimes brass would eject to the 4 o'clock position, other times it would just toss them on the shooting bench. I will keep an eye on this. Not sure the exact cause but I'm aware of the issues the original 102 experienced. The trigger was a bit of a surprise to be honest. I had plans to order a trigger tech right away, but after this session, I am going to redirect those funds to a Magpul PRS stock as I found the trigger was usable for me to get consistent groups, but my shooting position was less than ideal with the cheap magpul stock it comes with.

Does the ejector have a bevel on the face of it, like the older 102s?

If so, replace it and the spring. It's about $11 for the two pieces from True North Arms and turned my Gen 1 102 into a reliable rifle with strong, consistent ejection.
 
I noticed that several of your groups have 3 or 4 rounds touching with 1 or 2 outliers increasing the group size. Did you happen to notice if the outliers occurred in any particular order e.g. the first shot or the last shot of the group? Just wondering if barrel temp played any part in group size I.e. Hot barrel vs. cold barrel.

Overall pretty respectable groups, though (at least with the 168 gr. bullets).

To be honest I didn't notice. This outing was more of a function test and just to see what the accuracy potential might be. I have read another thread where Jerry from mystic precision suggested some tricks to help with consistency out of a semi. When I get back to the range this week I will keep a closer eye on which rounds are resulting in larger groups.
 
Thanks for sharing, awesome accuracy! :)

The "expert" haters should be on soon running down the build quality and material...lol
