Colt 6920: first trip to the range
For the first time, I took the Colt with the AR-PEPR to the range. During the first magazine through it, I had a failure to fire. Back in the day, I would have stopped, examined the gun, examined the round, examined the mag and figured out what happened to cause it to fail. These days, I just clear the fucking malf and shoot. So, I did that. And it ran flawlessly the rest of the day. It even ran flawlessly with the CMMG 22LR conversion in it. It’s amazing how much better those kits run with magazines that have metal feed lips. Do not buy the plastic feed lip mags. I have a stack full of dead soldiers to prove it.

How did your MTAC/PEPR work out for you at the range? I’m turning myself into a babbling fool trying to noodle out just the right optic to park on top of my new AR build and a similar setup as yours is one of the options.

I only had it bore sighted and it did fine.

Yeah, I share your philosophy on malfs, unless it starts to happen periodically.
Probably better to be practiced at clearing them than fixing them. Even if you tune the gun perfectly, it won’t help with a dud.
You probably had your Traumahawk on you for back-up anyway.
