Steel Case ammo for a 5.56 / .223 tends to be a Bad Idea , when I built my first AR 15 my neighbor had some Russian stuff and being the weekend it was all we could get to try it out .Grouped like a Shotgun ,wouldn't feed and some of them were to long for the magazine .I had to reseat and re crimp them to get them to feed. The next week we tried it again with some Win. White Box and the ones I had to rework. Jump forward about 6 years and I built another rifle so I decided to try some Russian Steel Case to see if it would work. Out of 3 rounds I had 3 I had to Drive out of the chamber . Both Rifles were .556 Nato ,the first was an M16A1 barrel from an M16 upgraded to the A2 Specs. the other was a New Barrel. I've also talked to a Gunsmith who had many people bring him rifles with Steel Case Russian Ammo Problems . The Lacquer coating on the Steel Case Ammo builds up in the Chamber and has to be Burned out . AK47 Barrels are made differently to handle the Lacquer .I don't remember the details on that. Also you can't Reload Steel Case Ammo .
I'm Left Handed and my Right Eye isn't Good so I've got a pair of Cheap Shooting Glasses I've Blacked out the Right Lens . I find if I try to shoot with both eyes open I start to see double after a while but if I close the Right Eye I get Tired quickly . By painting out the Right Lens I don't have either Problem .
Beautiful build brother! 🔥🤘🏼
