Thread: Troy Pump Action Ar15

The Timney trigger was a no go in my rifle today so it got ripped out and put to use in another .223 Ar15 that was in need. It was producing very light primer strikes so I swapped the Troy back to the factory trigger.
Not keen on butchering the rifle to make it work with the Timney.
I ordered a Elftmann Tactical Ar10/.308 trigger late last week so it should turn up tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes.
ELFTMANN TACTICAL AR-10/.308 Trigger

Put a bit over 180 rounds through the rifle with the standard trigger fitted this afternoon. The trigger is not actually too bad really. Just a little heavy for off hand shooting.
It was a mixture of 155 HBC reloads, PPU 150gn soft points and F4 FMJ military ammo and some odds and sods.
The weight of the rifle and comp make this rifle a pussy cat to shoot.
The 308 gives the plates a good smack compared to the .223’s I was also running.
My reloads showed good promise but are a tad on the hot side so the next lot will be dropped back ½ a grain.
The PPU ammo actually shot really well with some tight groups (1 to 1 1 /2” groups @ 100m) and ringing 6” plates at 200 meters was child’s play.
The F4 was nice to shoot but only did about 2” groups at 100 meters. Good plinking ammo.
The odds and sods had hieroglyphics on the case head so gods knows where they came from but they were difficult to both chamber and extract plus 2 would not fire even with repeated primer hits…

Shooting prone was ok with cycling the pump not a big issue.
Recoil wise, shooting prone was very mild.
Shooting of hand was nice. It can be cycled and fired really quickly, certainly quicker than any bolt action.
It’s a heavy rifle compared to a 14.5” .233 AR15 for example so hitting 6” plates of hand at 200m took a couple or 3 shots before connecting.
Need to do some more practice with it.

Looking forward to hitting the range again soon.
Will let you know how it goes.
