[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 1316582, member: 26430"] Ok so I figured out the problem, and I'm a little embarrassed to admit it but it is something noteworthy to mension for anyone who may be new to ar15s. They are more sensitive to differences in positional shooting than a bolt gun.. :D what I mean by this is that things begin to happen before the bullet leaves the barrel, I had been shooting exclusively prone with it during testing of different parts and what effects they on accuracy. Once there was nothing left to swap and I wanted to start reaching out further I started to use the large stump in some of the photos as a shooting platform and that's where my problems started. When laying prone directly inline with the gun all recoil impulses are directed straight backwards against my body and everything stays perfectly centered, when I swapped over to shooting from the stump I was doing so standing, which effectively turned my torso into a pivot point and being right handed, every time I would shoot the shots would cosistantly impact about .4 mils left because as my body absorbed the recoil on the right, the muzzle would turn slightly left. I never had a problem with it from my bolt guns because for the most part there's not much that happens prior to the bullet leaving the barrel but on an AR there's a lot going on before the bullet leaves the barrel. Embarrassing as it may be I figured it was worth mentioning for people who may not have much experience with gas guns. [/QUOTE]
