I think I decided

My son, daughter and I put about 200 more rounds through the Model 8 today. That brings the total to 300 rounds through the gun. I am realy pleased with the gun. It has worked flawlessly. And I got the it sighted in pretty well. We zeroed it at 25 and then were doing 2-3 inch groups at 50 and 4-5 inch at 100. The groups were a little inconsistant but the weakest link were the shooters.

We broke down the gun when we got it home. The bolt and works were very clean. My son who is Army trained was amazed how clean the works were. The bulk of of the carbon buildup as you would expect was in the piston system, mostly on the plug near the gas block.

What great day with my son and daughter. I celebrated tonight with some Long Trail Coffee Stout. MMMMmmm.

I have never owned or cleaned a DI AR myself but I am glad I choose a piston system for my firast AR.

Cheers,

Greg
