Any Tips or techniques that you are willing to share would be helpful. Anyone care to suggest ammo suppliers mags ect...
Joe, congrats on the new rifle!
I've had my springfield for four years now. My two cents:
- don't use wolf .308, also- I used surplus tracers which shot real dirty and fouled up my gas tube (causing FTE), so don't cut corners on ammo
- on that note, make sure the gas tube is
open prior to going to the range
- it is
not necessary to take the action and barrel from the wood stock each time you clean her
- mags are cheap, ammo isn't (you may have learned this)
- its not exactly the rifle you wield in
home defense- or going around tight corners... thing feels like an
oar in the house
- I was given a bipod (legit GI issue) which helps at the range, look into one
- I didn't mount a scope yet- if you do, don't skimp, get good glass
