Darn 10 day waiting period is finally over and I took delivery of my new DUU SN'd 15-22 yesterday and put it through my own little torture test at the indoor range. ran a patch down the barrel, wiped down everything else, and let'r rip. I also had 2 additional magazines, for a total of 3
This thing is an absolute blast
500 rounds of various flavors the first time out, here's a summary.
1) Started with 100 rounds of mini mags, 36gr HP, no firing issues, but the mag that came with the rifle failed to hold last round open. The other 2 mags didn't have this issue. Good news is that this magically went away after the third loading and all is well. I don't expect this to happen again.
2) 50 rounds of the 40 gr RN mini mags, no hiccups at all
3) 200 rounds of Fed. bulk 36gr HP, and there were a handful of minor feed or ejection related issues that I'll attribute to new gun break-in.
4) 50 rounds of Federal Lightning (40 gr LRN) from Walmart ($1.47/box of 50), no problem.
5) 50 rounds of CCI Blazer 40gr LRN, no problem. I saved the lead nosed ammo for last so that I could monitor the barrel for lead deposits later.
Just like my S&W 22A and Ruger SR9, this thing's a solid performer that appears will accept a steady diet of the cheap stuff. Only accessories I have right now are a foregrip/bipod combo and the NC Star 4 reticle red dot. Like everything else I get into, I'm sure I'll catch the dreaded black rifle disease in a big way.
