I have a Model 1 sales 16" 6.8SPC upper that I bought from a guy and the thing doesn't group worth a flip. At 25 yards with a eotech, I was getting about 3-4 inches.
It does have a flash hider on the end and there is lots of buildup on the crown. I have cleaned all of that off and haven't been back to the range. Would that have affected the accuracy that bad at such a short distance?
I am using hornady 110gr Ballistic tips on it and haven't started hand loading for it yet. I'm just wondering if I should even bother. I also know that the iron sights on the upper are not lined up either and the front sight is on a "Tri" rail mount on the barrel. It looks crooked, but I haven't attempted to straigten it out. I plan on using the Eotech/scope on the rifle.
I have other ARs and all shoot well. This one shoots like wore out musket. I need some pointers.
