Savage engineers were able to think outside the box to bring game changing features to both the MSR Hunter and MSR Long Range.”

Thanks for posting. Hopefully, from my experiences, that cycling issues were addressed.

I have not seen an AR10 that was not sensitive to the ammo.

That is why I carry an M1A NM. I can feed this thing anything.

I am going to keep my ears open on this one and see if it is worth investing in.

“I have not seen an AR10 that was not sensitive to the ammo.”

This is an MSR-10, not AR-10.

Biggest problem for AR-10 is that a lot of commercial ammo uses powder optimized for 24-26 in barrel bolt guns, not an 18 in DI semi auto

Really would love a reliable, light weight AR 10. Most of the current offerings are way too heavy and not that reliable

"I have not seen an AR10 that was not sensitive to the ammo."

That's kind of like saying, "I have not seen a child that was not sensitive to food." If you know a kid likes tater tots and chicken nuggets and hates rye bread do you say he's sensitive to food?

I have an Armalite AR10A4. I shoot a lot of bulk surplus, cheap ammo including steel and brass cased. I haven't experimented with a lot of bullet weights outside of the 147-150 grain range, but haven't had any issues with even the cheapest ancient garbage Portugese surplus.

Yes, like any direct impingement system with dirty ammo, you will get some fouling (especially with the shorter burn time and incomplete combustion in a 16" barrel before things enter the gas tube), but a quick wipe of the BCG every 2-300 rounds (less often with better quality ammo) and mine runs just fine.

The M1A NM remains one of the finest firearms in history - good choice!
