Nice rig.

I find my AR-10 to be loads more fun than I thought it would be, and it has come to be the favorite .30 rifle that I own. 

You'll enjoy that.

Finally made it to the range!!!!

After following BA's break in procedure, and getting the gas system tuned, I moved from the 50 yard line over to 100 yards and broke out a box of Hornady 147 grain ELD Match

It took a little time to get settled in, but the last 5 round group out of the box gave me a sub MOA group at 0.86 MOA (love the OnTarget program!)

Unfortunately, there's a hiccup.   Looks like there's a burr in the chamber.  It's enough of a burr that when I was tuning the gas system, I had to really work to get the first couple spent cases to eject.  Every round has a nice deep score in the neck from about 1/4" from the case mouth to the case mouth itself.  I've e-mailed Ballistic Advantage and hopefully will hear something from them soon.
