M4gery RANGE REPORT: WOW, I am impressed!

[imarangemaster]

Well I decided to test my recent M4gery build on paper, and get it dialed in "dead on" POA/POI at 250 yards with the red dot. I was on patrol day shift in the mountains today, on overtime, so it was a perfect opportunity.

I measured off 60 yards (according to my ballistic calculator, 60 yards = 250 yards POA/POI with the red dot on the carry handle mount, 3.5" above bore). I used the open passenger door of the Jeep with the window rolled down as a rest. The target was an M1 Carbine 25 yard sight in target, which was perfect size to have the red dot show black all around at that range. I think the red dot is about 3 MOA, as it covered less than half of the 3" carbine bullseye at 60 yards).

After several "sighters" to fine tune, I got two amazing groups: 7/8" and 1" at 60 yards, or probably less than 2" at 100 yards. I have never gotten that good of a group with a red dot on an AR platform in my life! It doubly amazes me, considering my only rest was standing, leaning on an open Jeep door! I like this weapon!



Ammo used: Federal/Lake City M193, late production.

Weapon:
DPMS 16" M4 barrel, 1/9 twist, with a Wilson Combat comp on it.
Colt M16A2 upper and bolt carrier group
Stag Arms lower with a Colt SP1 early lower parts kit
H buffer and USGI M4 recoil spring
Magazines are USGI Parson's with new springs and Magpul followers.
Vintage Tasco "Accupoint" red dot scope. This is the predecessor of Tasco's current "Propoint" scopes, which are used heavily in the mid-west and south on shotguns for deer hunting.



As you can see, it is Kalifornicating compliant with no "evil features," (Hammerhead non-pistol grip, pinned stock and comp instead of flash hider) so I can use my pre-2000 possessed high capacity magazines. Oh well, we do what we have to, so that we can do what we need to!
