BTW it's a Falcon Menace 10X


I fell in love w/ that scope just reading about it....saw it @ Sniper Central. How do you like it? Do you have the MP-5 reticle or Mil dot?

Sorry to side track. You can PM me so we can stay on track.

I have the M1S upper only w/ out the chromed bolt. Cycles like sand in your shorts. (it's pretty new yet) Will not cycle properly w/ H-110, Reloader #5 or #7. I was going to change up the gas port location and get an adjustable block, play w/ springs and buffers and more polishing of the bolt carrier. I'm going to try the AA powder first I guess. Especially since Bushmaster has a conversion kit for gas piston. (@ about $399.)


Wow sorry guys I replied to a post from the first page...should'a checked the lower right first.


Did you have the bore, grooves and lands checked w/ a scope? You may have had a lemony fresh barrel installed. My M1S upper is pretty consistant down range w/ all loads even being "pre-broken in". I inquired w/ M1S about the key hole forge marks out of curiosity and they told me of many diff forge houses supplying their cast parts. Not sure of the barrel man, but a lot of diff resources sometimes means a broad range in tolerence and fit. What about straightness and the crown? I know most times this goes w/ out mention for most here and I don't mean to insult intel, but you sometimes forget a thing or two.
