XCR is a nice rifle, but I found this issue of the safey lever impinging on the hand annoying also. Oh well what can you do?

Forgive me if this is (what most people consider to be) an obvious question, or one that is answered elsewhere - but what magazines are those? I wanted a few spares, but was under the impression that they were somewhat proprietary. Those are nice.

I havent fired mine yet. Hope to get out next weekend.

magpul p mags...DPMS pattern
 
Pull the cheek rest straight back 6 inches, move it up half an inch and push it back forward to adjust it.
No need to unbolt the whole stock and move it up to adjust just the cheek weld.
Oops never mind, I see you've got it in the higher position in your first post.

Did you get a manual for yours ?
Mine had nothing but the rifle and mag in the case.

So I was going to guess Peace River area from the residence interior with Fort St. John being my first guess. I'd like to also put in possibly Tumbler Ridge?

Nice "range" that's pretty cool.

Oh one rule in those types of places. Any metal, etc left around and not used for 3 months is something you should probably use for target practice. :D

The plastic has a .25" up/down position... if you want it up higher than that you have to unbolt the stock and move it up on the folding attachment... I would highly recommend doing this.

I didn't get a manual but according to my in/lb torque wrench it took ~70in/lbs to break the bolts loose... so I used 75in/lbs to re-tighten them.... yeah, I'm a quasi-perfectionist. Seemed about right for that size of fastener

I used axle grease and hoppes oil to lube everything before use

(The axle grease is in a syringe from Hungry's M-14 Clinic in Calgary a few years back... figure if it's good enough for an M-14 it's good enough for an XCR-M... we'll see what the manual says)

I had the gasblock wide open... and as you can see in the video, the distance the brass is thrown is inconsistant.... so I'll keep it wide open until it starts consistantly LAUNCHING the brass in the same direction.

HA! lol, Kelowna... the ####ing hippy-douche centre of the universe. You may want to refer back to my RCMP/M-14/Motorcycle incident from a few year back.
 
Burnt trees looked within the last few years, so I dismissed Kelowna. Although looking back I realize there have been more fires since the big one. I didn't cheat by looking up past threads :D .

Need to see some accuracy tests

Yeah, those are from way back in 2002. Looked pretty wild up there the spring after the fire.

I'm waiting for my scope and a paycheque and then I'll be good to go for some accuracy tests ;)
 
Great thread Wally. Only disappointment is you can't fire off 20+1 rounds without reloading. Guarantee you've helped sell a few of these rifles.
 
That is a fine looking table you've got there. Just be careful not to get any loctite on it...
:stirthepot2:

Seriously, that's a sweet rifle. I'm also interested to see what she'll do with glass.

:) Thanks. Yeah, I wish I could have all 20 in 1 mag instead of 4 :mad:

Oh well, 20rnds is $20 so maybe it'll slow me down a little :p

Ha, my buddy was up there doing trail work a few days before and left me a shooting bench without even knowing it.

The loc-tite jokes never get old :rolleyes: Hasn't needed any yet and if it ever does, I don't think it will reflect negatively on the rifle.

I didnt receive a manual with the rifle either, but it arrived today separately. Havent had a chance to look it over yet.
 
You know what disturbs me? 1640 of you read this thread with nothing more than "sometimes a boner just isn't enough" to pull you in. OP : nice gun. The rest of you are a bunch of freaks. Wait a minute, I read this thread...

Wally posted it, so I knew it had a 50% chance of being about an xcr-m
