Cool video, but got a couple unsolicited suggestions. Please don't be offended I'm not trying to be rude, just help you shoot better when it matters. #1 I wouldn't make it a habit to shoot that much that fast. It gets the bbl very hot n speeds chamber throat erosion. Which directly effect accuracy. #2 it's good to know if n where they wander during bbl heating. #3 really love that you test your gear. If it won't act right better to find out on the range than in the woods. #5 I'd recommend either a low pro gas block n modular hand guards or removing the top of the front sight above the gas tube. #6 I'd consider removing the riser n using a 1 piece base. They are as cheap as 35$ at Walmart, but the 56$ one at bass pro is better. It allows you to mount the rifle more naturally. It will also help your groups . #7 lowering the glass reduces the offset of the bore axis. This means if you're not perfectly plumb there's less windage error. It also keeps point of impact n point of aim closer together at closer ranges. Beyond 400 yds it's much less critical since the arc is more pronounced n should be compensated for.
@@thecarpentersselfreliance I'm a vet sir. Been around that system a time of several. You're exactly right, if it's not reliable it's just a club. unless you have a lug, then it can be a spear too 🤣 The a front sight can be cut with an angle grinder n cutoff wheel. About 1/8" above the bbl there's a tube that has tiny tension pin. The gas tube runs out the back under the hand guards. As long as you cut above that there won't be any issues. If it's been used a lot, the2 pins under the sight are hell to remove n swap the gas block.(ask me how I know that 🤦🏻♂️) I currently have a savage bolt gun in 223, but used to run a 20"semi. It used free floating guards n lo pro block. Messed with it quite a bit. Finally settled on a bcm match bbl. Was heavy but very accurate. Had no problem shooting dinner plates at 500 using varmint ammo. Killed a coyote running at 369 yds. Popped another at night was over 350, but too dark to range exactly. What I had built was more spr/precision rifle than a truck gun, but accuracy matters almost as much as reliability.
@@thecarpentersselfreliance also that looked about 50 yds on your range. Pretty sure all your shots hit. Very decent for rapid fire. Certainly better that quite a few I know.

No offense taken, It was just a test of the drum mag, I will look in to #5, thanks
