[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 1312833, member: 26430"] After changing the stock, grip, and trigger out I was able to maintain .5-.6" groups with the rifle on a regular basis now that I wasn't having to fight it and was able to get much more comfortable behind the gun, these things didn't make the gun more accurate, it made me more accurate with the gun. Every now and then I would still get an unexplainable occasional flyer that always opened the group up to 3/4" and would simultaneously have a failure to completely feed the next round, and with a light push from the charge handle, the bolt would slip right into battery just like it was supposed to, this was also always accompanied by an audible difference from the shot. I always keep the action and barrel clean and well lubricated with frog lube so I knew that wasn't the issue, what I did find is that between the super rough parkerized finish on the factory BCG along with having excessive slop in the upper receiver raceway that that the BCG rides in that it would from time to time cause enough of a problem cycling. What I did to solve the cyclic issue was replace the factory BCG with an Aero Precision nickel boron BCG and install a JP enterprises silent captured spring and from then on I never again had any failures to feed and the groups also stayed in the .5-.6" range from then on and the flyers were gone, the gun was always capable of that but due to cyclic issues and inconsistency's it would cause the occasional flyer, another added benefit of adding the silent captured spring was it no longer sounded as if there was a hobo playing an out of tune banjo inside the buffer tube lol.
