| I've had a very competent gunsmith install a free float handguard and better trigger on an armalite A4 20" SPR recently. I got to shoot it yesterday, and my accuracy has fallen off from about 1.5-2 MOA to about 4 MOA or worse. The barrel's only had about 500 rounds down it. I was shooting from on a bench on a slightly windy day but I only shot when the wind calmed down, I used American Eagle 55 gr FMJ before and after the handguard changeover. I didn't leave my bolt with the 'smith and he had to remove the barrel to install the handguard (headspace problem?). I'm going to try it again this weekend both with more A.E. and some match ammo. Right now, I'm very frustrated as I thought I was investing in much better accuracy, not worse. Any suggestions on what I might look for will be highly appreciated. |
