I've built a dozen or so AR's from the ground up. Never had any issues with them shooting well. Until now. Bear Creek Arsenal barrel in 6.5G. This is the second barrel, the first exhibited almost exactly the same problems. That's got me thinking that something else is amiss. I have tried the upper on three different lowers. Multiple scopes and mounts. With suppressor and without. Tore the upper apart and remounted the barrel twice. About the only thing I haven't tried is a different stripped upper. That is going to be the next thing I try, just waiting for the right one to go on sale somewhere. I need another anyways to build a 10.5" 223 on. :spin:
Hornady Black ammo. I could accept mediocre accuracy with a particular ammo, but this is unacceptable. This is at 50 yards, 1" dot for reference. Disregard the bottom left hole, that was from sight in.
And then to rule out the scope, I moved it to my 223 AR and did this at 100 yards with cheap steel ammo (again a 1" dot):
Everything is torqued properly. I really want to like this gun, but it is making it hard.
What am I missing?
