I bought a 1/8" roll pin and drilled a hole in the lower part of the stock close to the reciever so yo can't see it from the side like the factory stock.
I have only shot it with the original iron sights (off a little). I need to take it to a shooting range to adjust the red dot and flip up sights. As far as reliability, I had one FTE in about 300 rds. I'm using the Federal 525 pack from Walmart. I recently bought 200 rds. of CCI mini-mags. Haven't shot them yet.
Waiting for them to ship. I bought a Tango Down grip, Magpul XT rail covers, ladder rail covers and a MOE (mil-spec) stock. I'll post pics once it's assembled. Now I just need a stubby foregrip and a red-dot of some sort.
The one I saw for $15 was a screw together rod style. I've read online that it's better to clean a firearm from chamber to muzzle. Any truth in that? I decided on the Otis tactical cleaning system. It has brushes for most calibers, patches and a tube of Otis ultra bore. It was $50 and comes in a very small case, perfect for tossing in the gun bag before heading to the range.
I bought eveything I needed for my rifle this week (case and extra mags). I'm still undecided on which cleaning kit to buy. Should I get one made just for the 15-22 or one that does other firearms? I only have the 15-22 as of now. I may be looking into getting a Glock 26 to carry. I saw a cleaning kit at Dick's for like $15.
Why did the makers of these rifle include a button to help load them? I saw a video where the person is loading rounds without the button. It would be nice if the mags looked like their 5.56 counterpart. Is there a Magpul LULA that works with this mag?
