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.

With this stance I assume it’s chambered in .50 bmg?

Better stance. Better accuracy. But no it’s actually .950 JDJ
