Just picked mine up the other day , I am in the process of breaking in the barrel now. It is a slow and tiring I spent 8 hours at the range to fire just three shoots.
The prepping of the rifle took about 4 hours when I finally got it ready to shoot. The barrel was full of gunk,used Brakleen to degrease it and the rest of it. I adjusted the trigger as low as I could it breaks at just under thee lbs. I have used several solvents and J.B and brushing but I think it will take me a couple more trips to get it ready to shoot groups.This barrel seems to be a copper magnet and won,t give it up easily.
The recoil is very light with the brake on. I took it apart and checked it out,when I went to put it back into the stock the action would not fit,it seemed it was binding but then I realized that the trigger guard assy. had to be left in ,by tightening the screws by finger pressure everything came together ,just follow the instructions to the letter. This M111 has been redesigned so read the Instruction book and go slow.
Stay tuned and I will follow up on it as I get it ready to shoot.
