Makasi problems *fixed*

Alright, i will 100% give credit where credit is due. there is definitely some truth to the "break in" for everybody that was hanging from the chandeliers screaming it. Definitely to an extreme though. Decided to try a tiny dollop of fine valve lapping compound in the high friction areas in the action and I ran the absolute piss out of the action by hand while i watched a few videos to kill some time. tore everything back apart, cleaned thoroughly and re oiled the same as before, i had just enough time to hit the range before dark so I gave it a shot. It successfully fed the first three and then failed the fourth. After clearing that one failure, it has ran 200 rounds completely flawless. After 200 rounds and hours of cycling the damn thing including with lapping compound the gun runs like absolute butter, very enjoyable to shoot. That being said I still think its absolutely heinous it took that to make a $2600 rifle shoot. And to boot, after the handgaurd has been off a few times I can say with positivity, the hand gaurd bolts still mar the barrel nut. Its not horrible but its not a "fixed" problem.

Glad you got it working in the end, my man!

I can't wait to get mine and spend a week taking my turn to worry about if I got a lemon, or if it'll break in to a useable rifle.

Im super happy to just have the bloody thing work. Rdsc couldn't tell me anything but to ship the rifle back if I cant figure it out and brigade had nothing but forwarding my Info to the QC department to pitch. So my inner bush mechanic said to hell with it, Lapping compound it is lol seemed to do the trick
