Thread: Utas .223

I took mine for a hoon last Friday. I found it's pretty fussy and didn't give very good accuracy with what I had, except for Belmont bulk 77gr SMK, which has very acceptable accuracy. I will need to do some handloads I think with 69-77gr pills to get the best out of it. The 55 and 62gr stuff I tried had "govt acceptance" accuracy. Would still be fine for shooting goats at closer ranges.

Fwiw, if you plan on changing the stock, order a mil spec buffer tube with the gun. The one it comes with is some weird pattern I've never seen before.

The stock trigger is a milspec style trigger. It's not bad at all for what it is. I have pulled much worse stock triggers on American rifles.

The thread on the buffer tube was poorly cut. The diameter for the buffer tube is 1.164 which is obviously not a milspec dimension.
