Makasi problems *fixed*

[u/Sure_Cat_7551]

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.

For the unlucky folks like us that are still waiting on their preorder, would recommend we do a full deep clean before the first range session?

Always recommended for new guns.

True but apparently these come drenched in oil. I wonder if its for a reason.
