Hey guys,
I am going to do a series of videos where I document 10,000 rounds through my Galil ACE 7.62x39 Pistol. I am choosing it because I feel that the 7.62 is the best round for the super short format, and 7.62x39 is really the only "cheap" ammo around. The test will involve:
1. 10,000 rounds of Russian FMJ ammo.
2. Appropriate maintenance. This will not involve any stunt abuse.
3. A Holosun 503 optic (can it take 10k rounds of fairly exuberant recoil?)
4. Regular groups taken every 1000 rounds.
5. A carbine class if I can find time and the plague doesn't kill me.
I will shoot 200-250 rounds per week (barring vacation or sickness). Obviously, it should take me at least 9 months to complete.
My purpose in doing this test is to see if the Gen2 Galil is really as good as it looks. There are tons of 1k or so tests, but not much documenting the condition of the gun after a "lifetime" of shooting. I will be on the lookout for problems and parts breakage.
Let me know if you have any practical ideas for what to keep up with or for what to test. I know that this isn't a scientific test, but I want to keep up with as much info as is practical.
