Not much to report really as it turned out to be a short day but a couple people asked to post one after I shot it.
I bought it a couple weeks ago and this is the first time I've had a chance to get to the range.
Things started out well. I Had a couple boxes of 55gr. Remington that I bought at Wal-Mart. I got my EOTech dialed in at 25yards and was able to keep all the rounds at least touching the 10 ring from a standing position.
After those 40 rounds were gone this is where the trouble started. I had about 200 rounds of Wolf that I was going to run through it. i have shot Wolf before and was aware of the problems. Although I have not really had any problems with it in My AK or my Bushie. I didnt ever use it that much in the Bushmaster any way but I cant remember problems. Anyway....
I only put 6 rounds of Wolf through it. 4-5 of them did not cycle into the chamber and I had to do it manually. On the 6th round of Wolf the bolt was stuck closed with a fired round still in the chamber. I couldnt get it out so I took it to the local gunsmith since it was on my way home anyway. Denny's Guns. After a little doing he was finally able to get the bolt out and dislodge the fired round. He said it was real dirty. I cleaned and lubed the gun before I took it out but apparently the Wolf just isnt gonna run in the Stag.
So now Im off to tear it down and give her a good cleaning.
.............
well, I just broke it down and gave it a good cleaning. The smith said to clean the gas tube but I dont have the right size allen wrench to get the handguards off. I have 3 sets and nothing would fit, so I just got it the best I could. Nothing looked abnormally dirty so I guess I will just chalk it up to the Wolf ammo.?
