Backland Hunter Elite - Thoughts??

[u/Dill_Pickle_Tears]

Yeah yeah I know it’s likely just another cope garbage rod…but let a man dream lol. Anyone think it could be decent?

Sounds like the elite features a heavier buffer and spring, as well as some changes to the bolt carrier. Could the improvements make this thing at least somewhat reliable out of the box?

If they address the problems of the original backland hunter then maybe. And it actually sounds like they might be doing that. Tbh if I have the disposable cash in a couple months I’ll probably pick one up and test it out.

I’m a big fan of the Alcor, and tbh the Alcor with its aftermarket furniture is actually quite good. If it’s at all like the Alcor then I’m gonna be a fan

Have you tried 5.56 in your alcor? I’ve heard it doesn’t handle it well and you have to stick to .223.

The Alcor is not Wylde and it can only take 223. The barrel won’t be able to handle the 556.

It technically could but it would wear out the barrel. I put 20 rounds of 5.56 through mine for shits and gigs, no problems but I was being a bit of an idiot and probably shouldn’t have done that
