ridesdirt Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have been lurking a long time, just joined the site the other day. First let me say thanks to all the members for talking up the Colt... I almost did not wait for this.Well, I picked it up this morning! ;D ;DFirst impression was WOW, very nice! handles well and feels excellent. Then went to the range...Only had the one 20 rnd magazine that came with it. I ran a bore snake thru it and loaded it up. 400+ rounds of CCI with no failures at all! goupings were tight by my standards. I am very pleased with the purchase so far... very glad I waited! I alsmost bought the S&W. To me the HK feels much better.I think the stock sites suck, poor copy of the HK sites. I don't understand the rear site. The owners manual states adjusting elevation by a allen head on the site; the allen head disassembles the site. The only way I could adjust the elevation was to rotate the site drum. Maybe I am wrong, but I thought the drum rotated to give you different size holes to look through, it does do that, but that also adjusts the elevation. I just don't think the real HK drum site works like this. However I have never adjusted a real HK drum site before. Anyway...I did remove the flash hider. It does center the actual barrel inside the outer barrel. There is an o-ring that aids in centering. This may be an issue if you want to install a supressor. I need to get an adapter for mine and will report back when I have it figured out.The trigger is a little stiff, but in my opinion, acceptable for what this gun is intended to do.I replaced the stock sites with Magpul flip up BUS, Installed Magpul trigger gaurd (requires fitting) popped on the Eotech and rail covers... extended bolt release is next...I have been waiting a long time for a dedicated .22, I am glad I waited. I am a huge HK fan and am pleased to have this in the safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowin Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Does the bolt release work on the H&K then? I thought it'd be pretty much identicle to the Colt M4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
