    Tried some ammo last week OUT OF BOX shooting:
    CCI velocitor: Shoots fine but cannot lock back
    CCI standard: Have some failure to eject issue every roughly 30 rounds.
    CCI minimag: Could double feed sometimes (every 1 or 2 mags)

    I've took gun apart and lube every parts after initial shooting test. I'll try some subsonic ammot this week to see how this beauty shoots.

    They have an issue with the mag tab spring in the magazines (not the actual mag spring, the spring for that little tab in the magazine that pops up to hold the bolt back) not being strong enough sometimes to hold the bolt open, especially if the action is dirty or you're using weaker ammo... I think maybe it doesnt retract the bolt hard enough for the tab to have time to fully push the bolt catch up. These rifles are popular in the UK and there is a Facebook group for them, over there they install stronger springs to sort this.

    Eamars - where did you get the extension pad for the Moe stock? Did you get the QD module that goes in the hole at the back so you can use a sling with it?

    I bought the extended butt pad for PRS stock from gunsnz but unfortuntely that was the last one. Although nzar15 have those MOE fixed carbine stock in stock but no Type 1 QD connector available anywere as far as I know.
