[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 892471, member: 15748"] kwh, A few things about terminology here; ARs are, and were built up as military weapons, and 3 MOA is what's required for accuracy from both gun and ammunition. So yes, there's a huge amount of variation out there in ammo and what's considered "acceptable." On the flip side, the AR design is an inherently accurate one, and the potential they have is simply amazing. I shoot Service Rifle (have for many years), and guns we use in that game start at around 1/2 MOA before we'd consider them "acceptable." I've seen many that will do far better than this, but they need to be built from the ground up to do this. Match barrel, free floated and a true Match trigger. The Gieselle takes care of that, and they're the cream of the crop among AR Service Rifles. The barrel is most likely your weak spot here. With the entire line of DD fore ends, you're already free floated, so we're back to the barrel again. I would suggest taking a look at your ammunition first, as a good match round should show you what the rifle is capable of. For starters, forget FMJs. They're usually the least accurate of all configurations, with HPBTs generally being the most accurate. Start there. The various 69's, 75's, and 77's should give give results, as in 1/2 MOA or better if the rifle is up to it. wring those out, and if the rifle still isn't performing where you think it should, it may be time to look at a better quality (as in "Match") barrel.
