Gun and gear reviews How is your AD500A doing?

Post image

While I am waiting for the preorder Carmel to arrive. I decided to pulled the trigger on this Turkish ***. I am really regrets about the decision I made. It is sh*t, bought it from Tenda and tried to return or exchange it but they told me to contact the manufacturer. So the problem is the barrel nut always
gets loose just after firing less the 40 rounds PMC 223 ammo. The grouping at 100 yards are mysterious so I realized it’s because the barrel is moving so I hand tightening the barrel nut really tight and went back to the range again and it is still getting loose, Handguard is also get loose easily. I put the blue loctite on the muzzle brake so is not loose now. I am not sure if I loctite the barrel nut will be helpful. Seems a lot of people bought it so I would like to know if you have the same issues and how you solve the issue.

Ya you like it? I’m currently trying to figure out how to put a pistol grip and collapsing stock on it like the AD500 but I’m not sure what would be compatible.

Im not too sure either, and I don't think the gun will have much of an aftermarket.

The reciever to stock interface looks pretty generic that it would be easy to make up an adapter. I'm sure there will be one out here soon for it. I like mine all stock for hunting, the only gun I can say that about haha

Well if you actually use it for hunting it must be decent for accuracy. Good to hear 👍

Very good, with Hornady 178gr .308 I'm getting almost exactly 1moa. It's the only cartridge out of 10 I tested to do that though
