It’s my 11.5” Virtus with an AAC can.
I was shooting American Eagle 55gr 223
I'd never shot any .223 through my Virtus until recently... 5.56 milsurp only, never any problems. But recently I've been trying .223 from the bench with 75/77gr bullets to see if I can get better accuracy, which has proven out. Also noticed that the recoil when shooting .223 was virtually nonexistent! Then yesterday I got a click instead of a bang, the bolt was jammed most of the way forward and could not be hammered out with a rubber mallet to the charging handle. I assumed it had tried to load an oversized round.
Got it home and managed to tap it out using a brass punch on the underside of the carrier. Turned out to be a spent case.
Finally I deduced that the fired round had only enough power to partially cycle the bolt... enough to re-cock the hammer but not far back enough for the case to be ejected, so then the bolt tried to re-chamber the spent case.
And why did it not fully cycle the bolt on firing? Well I can't have a suppressor here so I never really took the time to figure out the gas system... and you guessed it... it had been on the minus setting through about 1500 rounds of 5.56. Not enough force for the .223 rounds I was using.
I'll leave it on + now.
Did some 100 yard shooting on A zone targets.
So much milder and quieter than the 11.5” lol.
Nice. What magwell is that ?

HRF for $57. It’s a clamp on like a Empire Katana for P365.

I like that it’s pretty unobtrusive.

Looks like the Gen3, AKA SPEAR LT, is officially announced: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/...-mcx-spear-lt/
I would be very interested in this gun if I didn't already build my 10.3" with a LAW folder. Oh well, ultimately it's just another 5.56×45mm rifle, and not enough of a leap to even remotely justify replacing my ARs.
I finally got a virtus to replace my legacy mcx and now the new one comes out. At least the parts are backwards compatible this time.
Does this mean I have to feed my MCX Virtus stuff into a chipper?
