Gun and gear reviews MK-15 is peak

Absolutely in love with this thing. 500 rounds yesterday with out issue (I know it’s not a lot)

only thing is it’s stiff for about the first 20 rounds. The bolt wouldn’t close on 5 rounds. So shot 5 4 round mags then it took full mags no problem. The bolt would also close at first on the empty mag like it had another round to go. (Only happened on first 2 mags) believe it was also just because it was stiff. After it loosened up It was smooth sailing. (Give your rifle a chance to loosen up a bit and don’t immediately think it’s fucked)

Also takes the crossmags no problem.
Very well built rifle though. All metal parts including the stock.
QC issues have all been fixed from what I can see (charging handle digging in, etc)

Just a friendly suggestion, you may want to look into cheek risers.

If your current stance works for you, that's great!

However, you may find your neck and shoulders get stiff more easily (when shooting) as you age.

I'm glad you're having fun!

You can see how tense his neck and face are in that position. Needs to adjust something. You should be able to shoulder your rifle and aim through your sight without having to move your head much from a neutral position

u/Vsatbtw 15h ago

Yes I agree. I’m having to raise my shoulder up really high. I like the idea of a cheek riser

u/InfinitySpoon 19h ago

Came here to say this.

Find a comfortable and stable shooting position first, then get a proper sight picture.

That being said, as always, if it looks stupid but it works then it's not stupid.

Either way happy shooting and nice rifle!

u/Vsatbtw 15h ago

Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely look into it. Because yes I definitely have to raise my shoulder up quite a bit. And pretty tensed up. I also wonder if changing the position of the lpvo will help me a bit

i got rid of a basically identical gun because it got listed. this countries rules are so stupid

29

u/Vsatbtw 1d ago

Corrupt government, that’s for sure. Wouldn’t of given it up though until the court case was finalized

2

u/Competitive_Fun_5223 1d ago

yeah i regret it, i’m gonna pick up one of these and hope it doesn’t hit the list lol

u/Acc4Wtf 1d ago

What's the accuracy like, did you do any testing at 100m?

11

u/Sure_Cat_7551 1d ago

100m

u/BowFella 1d ago

1.25moa for a duty rifle is fantastic. Now only for it to actually cycle.

2

u/Sure_Cat_7551 23h ago

Yeup was a bitch to get it cycling, but I got mine running slick as pig shit. Has been a riot after the initial headache

2

u/BowFella 23h ago

What'd you do to get it running? I heard guys were cleaning out the gas block extensively and cycling the action like 100 times before hand

2

u/Sure_Cat_7551 23h ago

Started with just trying to rack it a bunch with no prevail ended up running a small amount of valve lapping compound on the high friction areas between bolt group and upper and racking the ever living piss out of it to polish out contact spots. Has run mint since. Ive been talking with 313 operator and I believe he is going to be making a video addressing these issues and my fix aswell

2

u/BowFella 23h ago

Neat! What are the high friction areas you noticed on it if you dont mind?

2

u/Sure_Cat_7551 23h ago

I imagine it'll be different gun to gun. I sooted the fuck outta the bolt with an oxy torch (not putting heat to it) just using the black soot. Cycled it and anywhere the soot was worn away I added lapping compound after cleaning the soot off

u/Status_Ticket5044 1d ago

Alright! Good enough.

u/Vsatbtw 1d ago

Yes. I was shooting at 100M in the video. I think it’s very accurate. I don’t really understand the MOA thing but shooting 5 round with the rifle laying on the rifle bags it was basically dead on where I was aiming.

9

u/Ok-Raise-5115 1d ago

It’s the size of your groupings at 100 yards. 1 inch group at 100 yards=1MOA

6

u/Woodytastic 1d ago

I think best way to explain is the concept of a MOA is

1" group at 100m 2" group at 200m 3" group at 300m

So a 2.5" group at 200m is like 1.25ish MOA

Imagine your group as a cone that scales evenly the further you go.

2

u/Acc4Wtf 1d ago

Did you measure any of the groupings? Like did those 5 shots fit inside the size of a Toonie, or a closed fist lol

4

u/zporb 1d ago

you need some LAR mags bra

6

u/Vsatbtw 1d ago

I have them. But don’t think people should be posting them like they do. It’s pretty stupid and just asking for them to get taken away

14

u/zporb 1d ago

you just posted a semi auto 223 that resembles an AR.

Your logic is backwards, and its legal. So why worry

4

u/Sure_Cat_7551 1d ago

And posting a video of one of two scary black semi autos left un banned, in the midst of the bans, is any different?

u/Vsatbtw 1d ago edited 1d ago

You know those magazines are a weird grey area. This rifle is not in a grey area. It has an frt from the rcmp, it’s a hunting rifle also fyi 🤣

15

u/Sure_Cat_7551 1d ago edited 1d ago

No Grey area at all. Fully legal. Have had this talk with CO'S shooting on crown. Also use mine for coyotes. Still run the cross mags lol

u/Theonewhorealized 1d ago

just like the raven until it got banned

u/s0viet_mini 1d ago

MDGRC? Trying to go to the range again anytime soon lol

It is mission. I usually go 1 or 2 times a week. DM

u/thingk89 16h ago

I haven’t been since 2023… it looks way nicer! I might renew my membership there and try out some new toys

u/yummybunnybear 1d ago

Thanks for testing it out for us... and for the manufacturer

u/ComprehensiveBag8917 1d ago

Why does the dust cover open upwards? doesnt it normally open downwards on other rifles? And lastly does this cause any issues?

2

u/Vsatbtw 15h ago

It opens downwards not up. Might be looking at the scope mount

1

u/ShootyMcGun 13h ago

I feel like you’re scope needs a higher mount, you look pretty scrunched getting behind it. A nice reptilia or ADM 1.73 would look good. I’ve got. Black ADM 1.73 if you are interested.

u/Blackwalls69 5h ago

CHECK CLEAR MFER!

u/orange1690 4h ago

Ok... I've been confused about this for a while now..... How is it that that is aloud to be shot but my type 81 is a safe queen??

u/Vsatbtw 14m ago

Because this is a hunting rifle

u/Red_Shrinp556 22h ago

Soooooooo why haven’t they banned it yet?

u/Wraps247 20h ago

Everyone knows that the government doesn’t function after lunch and on fridays

u/Lumindan 5h ago

They're in the midst of the supreme court stuff so they can't rush to rock the boat or it'd make them look worse.

Nothing is safe long term as long as it's this government though.
