Welcome to T22. By many accounts the SIG 522 appears to be a fine rifle. Buy the best ammo you can. There's no substitute for quality on that point. The SIG is designed to run on HV ammo and CCI Mini Mags are my all around favorite.
My guess, and strictly a guess, would be a piece of trash or a burr in the firing pin channel, or a weak firing pin return spring. Something was allowing the firing pin to reach the case during closing of the bolt. A second guess would be a flaw in the sear.
was headed right for us and the RNC but looks like it may drift a little westward...I hope. Some of the urbanites have their American Express bricks ready to go smash and grab shopping as soon as the riots begin. Businesses near the RNC are boarding up their windows. Police snippers on rooftops. Something I've never seen before.
Welcome. I've read about golf and .22s combined where the shooter shoots golf balls off tees and through a hole in a board behind the ball at differing angles and distances. I'd like to give that a try.
I have and still own only one bullpup rifle, a FN FS2000 in 5.56mm. The only advantage I can see to the bullpup is OAL. Everything else is a deficit. Balance is off. Trigger is poor. Ejection can be a problem with most bullpups. So, if OAL is not really, really important to you then I'd say you're degrading your rifle's performance by going bullpup.
That's probably going to cut deeply into their business. I think I'd rather have a piece of the 10-22 market than allow a competitor to have it all. I mean, sound suppressors will still be made and sold for 10-22s, just AAC will be losing their hard earned share. Sounds short sighted to me.
Welcome Bootleg. If you and your brother want to have a lot of dueling fun get yourselves a dueling tree, if you have a place to use it. They are almost more fun than the law allows.
