[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 600335, member: 10291"] Great article! I have been an avid egg shooter, competimg for several years with the traditional bolt rifles used for the sport. After getting a little bored, I decided to try to see what I could do with an AR, which I have been a fan of for quite a while. The results have been excellent and for the last couple of years, have been able to give the bolt guns a good run for the money. I have two very accurate rigs, a 223 DPMS upper with a 24" heavy barrel, RRA trigger, Nightforce 5.5x22, and a Whitely 6mmAR uppper, 24" hart barrel, RRA trigger and a Nightforce 8x22 Benchrest. My lowers are a basic Colt and Bushmaster respectively. One critical aspect is to make sure the play is removed completely between the upper and lower. I use a home made devise that consists of one of the plastic tension wedges with a hole drilled onto the center of the base. I then to length and insert a Smith and Wesson rebound spring to maintain tension and eliiminate the fatique which happens over time with the plastic wedge alone. I dont like the tension pins which tend toloosen up and wear out the frames pin hole. Both rigs deliver .25-.5 MOA at 100 yard. 5 shot group consistantly. [/QUOTE]
