The BLK, .300 Blackout, version wasn’t available at the time

I wasn't aware they did that.

its accuracy is ok. It’s better than an average AK. About the same as an AR. It’s not a sniper rifle.

Absolutely agree here...more to follow.

You probably trialled that very one. It does look like issue, the second looks like Civvie.

There are two men here that have one each side by side. Neither will group a pie plate at 100 with factory ammo. I took one rifle to test myself, like always, have another shoot it and see. This one I speak of also gave full broadside bullet profile at 100. It's a 7" twist. I thought I should start with slugging the bore and check the twist. You never know...I used a 27 cal ball and tapped it into the commencement, muzzle down, with a .22 rod. It started hard and then once moving went about 4" and went into free fall for about 4". It fetched up around the gas port and was a gentle push again. Then after a couple more inches it went back into free fall until about an inch from the muzzle. It required a gentle push to exit. All this was done after I scrubbed the bore with a new brush and clean cloth. It was spotless... I measured and I think it measured .224, it was a year ago... The rifling was pronounced. I suggest the bullet would start off fine and then lose it's tight barrel so it would come off axis and gain yaw. Once it does that it's going to yaw after exit...

As for handling, I found it clumsy, cumbersome and awkward. It's a*s end heavy and appears to have been designed by a junk collector. If given one, I'd sell it cheap and buy an old double hammer shotgun. That way you at least know what you have.

On the other hand, I could try Vincent or E303Ts Tavor and maybe will have a different experience. The owner loves it except it won't perform. By the way, I'm a dedicated Glock owner, a model 22...and a Beretta Storm in .40...so don't tell me it's just the Bullpup design.
