CMMG Mutant MK47 AKM - Field Test Video #1: Ammo, Mags, CQB and 500m Shooting

We recently got our hands on a CMMG​ Mutant MK47 AKM for testing. This is video #1, with several more to come, and in this test we focus on different types of ammunition, magazines, close quarters rapid shooting and long range shooting out to 500m.

We set our Mutant up with a Trijicon TA31RCO-M4 ACOG with KRAM spacer, a Streamlight TLR-1s HL light and a Redwire Gear​ convertible sling.

Test results: 400 rounds with zero malfunctions, receiver too tight for Master Molder magazines, 13 different ammunition types tested at 50m for function and accuracy, keymod forend gets very hot after only a few magazines, engaged targets 200m-500m with effective accuracy.

SIONICS Patrol Rifle Zero - 5 shot group after 8000 rounds without cleaning barrel

We've had a Patrol Rifle Zero from SIONICS Weapon Systems for over a year now, and we have over 8k rounds through it without cleaning it, only lubricating with Slip2000. We decided to see how the accuracy was holding up, so we fired a 5 round group from 50m, cold bore. Glen pulled one shot high left, but still a good group with such a dirty barrel.
