Thread: 12.5" nea

No but tried 55g pills in hand loads that was a4 min they shot well in my 222

I'd at least expect Ken to check the upper and barrel are in alignment and change out the barrel and bolt carrier group to see if it improves things.

I'll just try a different scope on it first I might have a talk to him after that I've put a different trigger in it and stock since owning it so not sure how that will affect warranty and really can't be arsed with postage and stuff I'm quite happy to play around with it that's what I got it for and was intending to put a longer barrel on it there's a dd a ccmg and some no brand barrels on tm looking between 14.5 to 16 inch but if that schmiesser barrel came up that would be tempting as well even tho its longer also I'm not into bad mouthing ken he gave good service and its OK for what I paid

You might be just a poor shot.

what factory ammo have you tried?

If you don't have any joy send it back to Ken and it will get sorted, don't worry about warranty issues. If you are going to rebarrel I would recommend a Faxon gunner

S&b ppc and some federal had another guy shot it that's got a lot of shooting behind him and got the same results

thats a good move changing the scope and checking the mounting first.
its pretty embarrassing when you curse a rifle and it ends up just being a loose scope mount

This will be scope no3 I've tried on it also talked to ken told him I'd try a couple of things at my end which he's fine with then send it down if it doesn't work he's a good guy to deal with

thats the impression i got too, he seems like a top bloke
no problem when theres and issue

My 18" NEA only liked 77gr match kings. It would shoot them into 1/2 inch but everything else was 1 1/2 inch + Even the equivalent nozler 77 grain projectile...

hopefully might of found the problem went to fit new barrel today and found the barrel nut was only hand tight so hopefully shes fixed need a test fire

You did'nt check basic stuff like that before getting a new barrel? Really?

Most people would assume that a manufacturer has torqued a barrel nut on properly, but in reality it would surprise you how many are only on hand tight, or worse, way over torqued.

how many times have you checked to make sure your barrel is screwed on tight on a brand new rifle I never have id expect it to be ready to shoot out of the box really
