Absolutely. Keep it on the lowest setting that allows it to run without issue. I found with mine that in really cold temps (-30C or colder) I had to turn it up one setting depending on how hot the round was. This is common on a lot of semi's with adjustable gas settings. In warmer temps it is again a non-issue.
I had one of those today , using reloads . If it was a screw in the deflecter , wouldn't this happen way more often?thought i would share my xcr-L photos. have about 400 rounds down it now and and very happy with the rifle. only had one issue so far during the break in. i had a failure to eject and the fallowing round was crushed by the fired case stuck in the action. since then no issues. throws brass really nice on gas setting 2. had an interesting time trying to get the rifle zeroed with a serious lack of consistency but things came together by the end of the day. not entirely pleased by the grouping but i haven't tried more than one type of ammo (bulk federal/american eagle). I'm running a vortex prism 3x sight. all said and done I am happy with the gun. can't wait to get out and shoot some more!
some cleaning

No.
If you start using a different brand of ammo, it may or may not run on S, as reliably it is now.
Knowing when to turn it up is key.
I've been running mine on "S" for a couple thousand rounds now, no problems. Only throws the brass about 10ft rather than the next province when on 2.
Aha, a match grade trigger.
I'll be sending a m.o.for one of those.
Here's my XCR, it's Rocky approved.
nice gun but those knives look gorgeous!
mine runs everything on s even chinese and steel cased garbage.
The early RA models with the tube stocks where fixed stocks. The new models with fast stocks are folders and yes they lock in the folded position.
The early tube stock was a folder. They removed the folding mechanism to export to Canada but some canadians managed to get it as it was supposed to be.
IIRC it was held by tension in the folded position.
Thanks. I obtained a tube folder and it seems very loose, both when open and folded. There is nothing preventing it from flopping around when folded. I much prefer the tube stocks over the marginally-adequate FAST and I'm not a fan of putting AR stocks on everything. I may have to experiment with the folder or find another fixed tube as the FAST is not at all conducive to shooting supported with the weak hand.
It's a decent stock, personal preference mostly.
I found mine to have just enough play in the hinge, to feel it while shooting.
L.o.p. could be problematic if you're tall/long arms.
AR stock looks better, to me anyways.
Any chance your UBR is od green....
My FAST is black, like new, just saying
.The FAST is decent but little else. If you shoot this way:
the FAST stock is a poor choice. The tube stock (fixed or folder) affords a far greater purchase for stability. It is also very clumsy to manipulate by having to deliberately push your finger into the catch hole to extend/retract it, and pulling up on the entire mechanism to fold it. Not a well thought out design at all. I would sooner have a fixed tube stock than the FAST but prefer the tube folder for ease of storage/carriage in smaller gun cases.
