Well, I placed 3rd place in yesterday's speed steel with this guy. It is certainly competition worthy.
Wasn't expecting that, just happy it ran really well and didn't give me any hiccups. Though @spookshack had me worrying about broken firing pins. I'll definitely get a spare due to his experiences with AR9s and competitions.
I'm still not getting the last round bolt hold to work well. I'm not entirely sure if it's my loads short stroking the action or something with the mechanism. It's a pickle as the barrel had an extended feed ramp I had to fit to the lower to clear the follower portion of the hold open. I'm thinking I'll polish the crap out of it to try and see if that helps it function.
Not a huge deal not having the bolt hold open, but it sucks considering I bought this lower for that feature.
Got the red dot back from Swamp Fox. They sent me a brand new, newly designed, model. This one uses RMR style mounts and a smaller battery type. So now I need to get a bunch of those in case, kind of annoying they switched from the industry standard battery.
I'll test the Swamp Fox's worthiness in June at the next Speed Steel.
