How did it work?

I have one and have been consistently disapointed with it accuracy wise. I have tried many different brands and types of ammo, removed the end cap, lightened the FCG, different optics and so forth and my $200 cheaper MOE still will out shoot it. All my 15-22s have been very reliable with all types of ammo but the PC, IMHO isn't worth the extra cash.

I'm trading it in for a "real" M&P 15 Sporter.

Near as i can tell its an asthetic package--the longer fluted barrel and the VLTOR stock--that just doesnt perform enough to justify the $200 bump in price

I mentioned in another thread I was able to test-fire one at my local range a few weeks ago and I noticed NO difference in grouping using my mags and ammo and personally I wasnt a fan of the VLTOR stock either--prefer my Magpul MOE --

The rifle is a work of art however...the barrel is beautiful...but i would say personally $200-$250 buys several mags a lot of ammo!

+1, IMHO not worth the extra cash.
