Loving My Skinny Barrel LWRC M6-SL - Very Accurate
5/12/2012 6:33:26 PM
I have had my LWRC M6-SL almost 2 months. I have put over 800 rounds through it. I had an issue with some dirt in the chamber initially (I didn't clean it after I bought it). But after a proper cleaning...600+ flawless rounds.
Don't believe the skinny barrels are not accurate myth. I have a old pencil barrel Colt that shoots almost as well as this rifle.
Here are the typical groups I have been getting with the same Wal-Mart 100 round Federal Value-Pack ammo at 100 yards with my Bushnell Elite 10x40 on a Larue QD Mount (which repeats zero perfectly each time, unlike the mount I first used in the pic above).
Shot today: 13 rounds, 100 yards, 10x scope, Wal-Mart 100 round Federal Value-Pack ammo:
Shot last time out: 10 rounds, 100 yards, 10x scope, Wal-Mart 100 round Federal Value-Pack ammo:
Shot last time out: 5 rounds, 100 yards, 10x scope, Federal Match 77 grain:
With an EoTech mounted all the bullet holes touch at 50 yards with Wal-Mart 100 round Federal Value-Pack ammo.
I will have to get more Federal Match to experiment with. I only had 10 rounds, I used the first 5 to get the scope adjusted after shooting the Wal-Mart ammo.
Anyone considering an LWRC, take a serious look at this entry level rifle. It is much lighter than their other models, and I would argue, just as accurate.

Very nice !! I had the SL in my hands at the gun show and felt great debated between the A3 and the SL for about 15 mins but decided to go with the A3. SL felt awesome though! Insane grouping too!
