Very promising at first. Single loading the magazine, the very first 8 shots down the barrel went around 0.8 MOA - even while I was adjusting the gas block!
The first E-Lander 17-RD magazine I was using proved to be a problem if loaded to capacity, with bullet tips jamming into the front of the magazine body, totally crushing the bullet tip, and likely causing bullet set back plus concentricity issues at the same time. Even with a blown rotator cuff, I was amazed at how far I was able to throw it.
A second E-Lander magazine when loaded full functioned normally, but groups were a disappointing 1.2 MOA - 1.3 MOA. The borescope showed a super rough gas port erosion beginning, with a streak of copper going forward.
Sadly, I see this frequently with brand new SS barrels. The barrel should settle back down to its accuracy potential in another 50-100 rounds.
