Gun and gear reviews More backland hunter testing

Have been doing more testing with the backland hunter. I’ve put about 810 rounds through it now without any significant failures. I swapped out the stock buffer tube and recoil spring for the black aces m4 adjustable stock and buffer tube. I also milled down the mag well to fit standard pmags. I did have some issues at first with the pmags. But I believe that is due to my user error. The mags were brand new and the rounds sat a bit tight with a lot force from the spring. The bolt would sometimes have a hard time closing fully due to the rounds being so snug (wasn’t an issue with the backland hunter stock magazines, maybe a weaker spring or more space for the rounds) however. After I let the pmags sit for a few days full of rounds the issues subsided. It cycles through pmags no problem now. I plan on putting another 500 rounds through it over the next week or so. I’ll post another update then. Overall though. So far so good.

I think a lot of people shit on Canadian made semi auto centre fires and Turk semi auto centre fires as well. However from what I have seen atleast is while they are not the best guns in the world they are not “It blew up in my face after the second shot.” Levels of bad. There is more nuance about it.
