What...like all of it at once? You got a Minimi?

Be a bit carefull with that Norinco .223.
The stuff that I've got over here and other stuff I've seen has all been extremly hot.

LOL.

It seems good to go. Shot 60 rounds with no signs of excess pressure.

We've gone through thousands of that out here in Victoria. No problems.

I bought a case of white boxed Norinco last year, headstamped CJ 95, that was terrible. Blown and flattened primers and bent rims in the same box as rounds that wouldn't cycle the action.

This stuff seems much better.

Spent some quality time with a buddy's AR, my angle grinder and my Dremel, today. Cut the FSB, bayonet lug, and delta ring off and ground down the leftovers to allow a FF handguard to fit over top.

Finally got a chance to take some more pics and do some shooting with my new CMMG Conversion Kit....I gotta say, THIS THING IS AWESOME

Some more pics of The Bushmaster......

The CMMG Kit....

Used this Barska scope for the 22 kit. I hadn't shot it with 5.56 yet so I figured I'd use it for the .22....It has Illuminated .223 BDCR, a quick adjust turret from 100-500 yards and about a 4in eye relief that I absolutely love.

After initial adjustments, no further adjustments made between the 5, 5 shot groups

Likes the Mini Mags the best so far, only had 10 left though...
Attachment 40480
Doesnt seem to like the 36gr although they started to group tighter after the first 5-7 shots..
Attachment 40481Attachment 40482
The 5 to the left were definitely me...I'll find out for sure tomorrow it was getting dark and I had already been in the 10 deg weather for 2hrs straight , seems to group decent at 50yds non the less

I couldn't "tap" my pins out so I ended up milling them out on the bridgeport , just because I had to show it who was boss. I should have done it your way, it would have been a lot faster after spending all that time trying to tap them out

[Stevo]

In all honesty, I would have preferred to drive the pins out and reshape the FSB off the barrel. The Norinco ARs have incredibly tight pins, however. I've read lots of reports of guys ruining steel punches and even failing to get the pins out using hydraulic presses. We did take a few whacks at them with a BFH and they didn't move a fraction.

We could also have cut the FSB off and gone with a clamp-on or set-screw gas block, but my buddy was on a budget and the pinned gas block is superior, IMO, to either the clamp or set-screw gas block.

Looks like you're getting good results with the CMMG kit. Are you able to find enough .22LR to feed it?

I also think the cut down FSB is better than anything you can buy. Having tried the alternatives several times, I finally accepted that "Bubba'd" is better than store bought.
