    Post it please. I also have one on the way. It was mentioned in the video one might be needed if you had light primer strikes IIRC. I am in Round Rock by the way.

    I have one. Cool novelty. Haven't needed the spring kit for mine, but only about 500 rounds with it. Don't pull the trigger on it until it is installed.

    Out here by the lake!
    First time out playing with mine I shot it more then my M16A2 that I had with me. What was funny to combat vets who were range officers liked it as well. One wanted to trade me his scoped Springfield M1A.

    I will probably have to go out to my brothers 80 acres out in Milano to shoot. I don't know of any ranges around North Austin that would allow it to be used.

    Now that BOTW is shutting down TSSR is the only one I can think of and that's in Kempner. ARC has tactical bays for that over in Webberville also. Probably an equal drive to both from N. Austin.

    The Range down by Slaughter Ln will let you shoot it as long as you can keep it on target. They didn't have any issues with my MP5

    YES!! Don't play with anything until it's installed or you'll be hunting for springs like I was. Always charge the rifle on safe. I've heard of the spring issues but I haven't had any problems with factory get up. I've run my .556, .450BM & .224V on that lower and all run just fine. The .450 will rattle your teeth on 10rd mag dump. I typically run it in my pasture, but it seems that any range that offers auto rentals will allow binary & rapid fire so long as you maintain control. Enjoy that unit! :machine:
