Hello,
Long story.
Basically, I am trying to diagnose why my AR15 upper [PSA .223 Wylde] will get different group sizes when I shoot with my wooden Rifle-length traditional handguard vs when it was shot with no handguard. 25 yard test firing of 3 rounds.
The difference is that no handguard will usually get 2 of 3 shots touching, and the third about 1 bullet diameter away, and higher.
With handguard on I get groups that differ in height by no more than 1/2 bullet hole diameter, but have 1 and 1/2 bullet holes between them, in a relatively horizontal line.
Any tips on how to fine-tune the handguard to tighten the group size?
Yes, I want to keep the wooden standard handguard installed, and not use a free-floating handguard, as I am in California and trying to avoid a 'black rifle' bias in my neighbors.
tips would be appreciated!
