thefitter Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Took a new M4 to a indoor range to break in. Had to use #7.5 shot, but it was 3.07 dram / 1250 FPS. I ran 250 rounds through it with no problems cycling as long as it was braced into the shoulder but it FTF quite a bit when point shooting from the hip. All the same ammo and lubed well. Anyone else experience this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 This is common if you limp wrist a low dram round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioM4 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 It may be a problem with "new" M4s. I took mine to the range and ran about 50 rounds of low recoil buckshot through it while shooting from the hip with an intentionally "limp" hold and could not induce a FTF. Previously I had been shooting full power loads for quite some time. I suspect break-in plays a big part in reliability with low power rounds.

TacticalKoala Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 for shooting from the hip I prefer a sawed off ten gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggan Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I got my m4 to FTF one time, shooting with my left hand, one handed, limp wristing, using #9 shot. I posted a video of it on here awhile back ... I really have to try to make that gun screw up. If I held it firmly against at my waist (not that I shoot like this often) I'd bet my bank account that it would work without fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
