    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.

    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

    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

    My 16" 1 in 7" CMMG absolutely loves them.

    @P38 what load of BM2 are you using? I've just loaded some of these to trial in my 16" cmmg with 1:7. Started at 24gr, which is probably getting close to max load according to ADI manual but i've loaded 64-69gr with the same so should be a good start.
    Wish i could load something that was as good as those American Eagle 50grs, I just loaded up 20x 40gr Vmax's with various charges so will see how they like the fast twist. Would like to explode some Wallabies next month with them

    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

    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...

    Yeah, that wouldn't help!
    Sounds like it was backed off too much to line up the gas tube.
    Does your handguard use shims for the barrel nut?

    Hand guard is free floating it slips onto the barrel nut and the you twist it about 5-8 mm and tighten the clamping bolts I'll probably change that at some stage but I havnt seen anything I like yet I got the NEA as it was the cheapest half decent way of getting into a complete ar that I can change around and build another one with the left over parts

    The ALG handguards are one of my favourites
