Comments:
I installed a minus connector, Dawson Charger sights, and SCD during the course of the test.
The malfunctions were:
1. a light primer strike presumably due to not being completely in battery around round 700. Ammo was MEN 124 grain NATO It fired the second clambering. No explanation for this one.
Light strike on bottom compared to normal hit.
2-4: The gun ran great until the final 200 rounds where I had three malfunctions.
Twice, it failed to cycle/short stroked and stayed open on a round in the magazine.
Both occurred with fully loaded Magpul GL9 magazines that are relatively new plus one in the chamber (12+1), and PPU or WWB 115 grain range ammo. I attribute the malfunctions to a dirty, unlubed gun, weak ammo, and a very tight magazine. I recommend down loading these magazines for carry.
The third and final malfunction of the test was a fluke where a bit of tape attached itself to a round mid magazine (OE mag), and prevented the round from chambering completely.
Beware of random debris I guess!
I like the gun and it really likes HST 147 grain ammo.
It will take the place of my current G3 carry pistol.
