Set as long as the stock will go, it feels very short, and places my face where I am uncomfortable shooting it. Also, the stock rattles and is loose the way it is made, and I do not like that. Damn, are all AR style rifles like this? Shoots okay, cycles well. I am not happy, though, the way it feels shouldered. I am going to make an extension for it. I do not like a rubber buttplate recoil pad so will use a nice piece of oak. Cut it and shape it, round it nice to still be fast against the shoulder, not like rubber. Make it about 1.5 to 2 longer should work. The way I have to choke up on it I can barely fit the scope on the pic-rail.
Not my first AR, but an excellent one. Put a Romeo5 red dot sight, took it to the range with three different types of ammo, military 5.56, 62gr, steel case Wolf 55 gr, and 223 55gr . No malfunctions after shooting 120 rounds. I recommend this rifle. Is a tack driver with different ammo. I was surprised that even with the Wolf steel case ammo wish is crap and don't shoot good in some rifles, it did on this one. Great gun!!
I bought this rifle several months ago as my first gun, and I have had almost no complaints! The only problem I have had was with the A2 style pistol grip where I was having trouble with my large hands having issues with the grip. However I have never had a jam out of circa. 200 rounds.
As the title says, I just picked it up, so I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. However, it seems to be a very solid platform. This is my first AM-15, so I had my son look it over, and he was impressed by the fit and finish. I'm hoping to get some range time this week, and I'll get back to you with a real performance rating. As of now, I am totally impressed.
