Moderator Note: The first several posts in this thread were dragging another thread off topic. They've been moved here to allow that thread to remain open while this topic is discussed separately.
The A/O Carbines have been noted for being a bit on the "rough" side, often requiring a "break in" period of between 250-300 rounds to "smooth out" the light rifle's operation.
Don't give up on the "little rifle". The .30 Carbine isn't launching a 55 grain .22 caliber Pointed Soft Point out to 400 yards. It wasn't meant to be used beyond 200 yards. Tell me the truth. Just how many home defense/personal defense rounds are fired at a range of 200 yards? 100 yards? 50 yards? 25 yards? 10 yards perhaps, but no further.
These are "medium range" Personal Defense Weapons; they excel at these applications. To cap it all off they are, in fact, lighter than the AR class rifles. (Who needs a heavier, rifle when used at these ranges, in the field)?
I wish you the very best, and I'll join you in the ".30 Carbine Club" (once again) next year.
