Took the M1icon out yesterday for the first time since I peened the cylinder splines and used cork gasket material to snug up the action.
I haven't had this rifle a year yet and took it out maybe 3 times. Every thing seemed tight to me so when I really wasn't that happy with its accuracy I blamed the ammo which are my handloads. Turns out the gas cylinder WAS loose, it only moved a gnats whisker which was enough to really effect accuracy as I found out.

This is a target I shot when I first got it.

This target I shot yesterday. The 7 below the 10 ring are "rapid fire" if I took my time all would be in a 3" group. Needless to say I'm very happy.
