    Just got back from the range to break it in. First off, I suck compared to most shooters on this board I freely admit it! BUT this think rocks for a gas gun! Not a single failure of any kind and was easy on brass. Like a dumb ass, i went to the range without a can, so icant comment on that yet. Here a some groups, i am very happy for straight outta the box!

    UPDATE

    Surefire suppressor runs like a champ. Getting a 1 inch shift, no biggie. Still groups all holes still touching in 30mph gusting wind. I chronoed a few factory loads as well:

    BH 175 AVG 2577
    SW 175 AVG 2584
    FGMM 175 AVG 2619
    AP 175 AVG 2615

    All shot well, I have not had a single failure to feed. There was no more blowback on this rifle than any of my other AR10 builds using a suppressor. Shot it to 1000 also, and I had no problems there either!

    Your Atlas is on backwards!

    Lol, nice rifle! I have been tossing around ordering one (to put MY Hensoldt on,) and believe me, your pics don't help my bank account out any!

    Congrats,

    Re: GOT IT! GAP10 Pics

    14.4???? Where does it come from........is the barrel that heavy? Also is the gas system full rifle length or mid?

    I wonder how much their 6 groove fluting will take off that weight........

    I'm getting in line tomorrow.

    The midlength gas system was chosen based upon the length of the handguard, which is already so long there would have been difficulty manufacturing a longer setup.

    We have further limited the barrel length on the GAP 10 to 22 inches as to maintain good function.

    When you go to shoot it take some 175gr and 155gr stuff. I would be interested to see which one shoots the best for you when your running with the suppressor.

    Mine prefers the 155's with the can on.
     
    Re: GOT IT! GAP10 Pics

    Awesome is all I gotta say! Can't wait for mine to arrive. I am looking at the Spuhr or Warne R.A.M.P. mount. Where did you get your Spuhr mount? Is the NH1 Objective Lens Diameter 56mm?

    Sounds good. Interested to hear your thoughts after shooting with the suppressor.

    Looks good Fastford. Looking forward to range report.

    Colodog, they use the upper and lower receivers and rail system from POF. That's all. GAP supplies and builds everything from there. Not sure they could help out with your rail problem though. Keep trying to get ahold of POF and try to talk to Cody or Frank.
