in the mag well and let the bolt move forward by
either pressing the top of the bolt release or pulling
the charging handle and letting go. I put the rifle in
my shoulder and found that the stock position wasn’t
quite right for me and quickly adjusted it to suit - then
it was time to “rock and roll”!
Semi-auto is a really positive action and the
feedback (felt recoil) is instantly familiar. Follow up
shots were smooth and I was able to achieve a tight
group at 7m. With a few BBs left in the magazine, I
decided to switch to auto and “mag dumped” the
remaining ammo. This was really good fun and again,
the rounds all found their target in close formation.
The second magazine was used to set the
hop for the .25 BBs I was using. The
adjustment of the hop is
really simple and quick
to do. Simply take the
magazine out of the
magwell and put your
finger up inside the
front of the magwell.
Here you’ll feel a
small wheel which
you can easily move
either left or right to adjust
the flight of the BB.
For the next magazine full I carried
out a “2-2” drill by using two 60%
IPSC targets at 7m and putting two
shots into each as quickly as I could.
This drill went well until I went for
my 8th string and after two shots a
solid “clunk” happened as the bolt
locked to the rear to indicate that I
was empty.
After unloading I decided
to gas the mag again for the
recommended 30 sec and reloaded
it. This time though I loaded the mag
with an uncounted amount of BBs and
then loaded a second magazine with a similar
amount. This would give me the chance to carry out
a reload “under pressure” as I wouldn’t know when it
was going to occur. I marked the shots on the targets
then went back to the firing point, loaded and started
the drill again. After 9 shots the “clunk” of an empty
magazine occurred and I was able to reload and

“WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RIFLE YOU CAN INSTANTLY RECOGNISE IT AS AN ARMALITE
RIFLE (AR) TYPE SYSTEM AND PICKING IT UP FROM THE BOX, THE WEIGHT AND
BALANCE WAS IMMEDIATELY FAMILIAR TO ME.”
