So got to shoot this in a club comp and it just kept light striking with all ammo.
However the accuracy and balance is just great, it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot.
So last few weeks it's been a total strip down and clean (it was filthy so I am pretty sure that's the issue), while I was in there I also added the extended bolt and mag releases as well as shimming the trigger a bit.
Made a schoolboy error with the trigger and initially added too many layers of duct tape on top of my silicone tube which meant the trigger wouldn't set when cocked. Took me a night to figure that one out!
I thought it might end up being a bit spongey but actually it's now quite a nice trigger, a LOT better than it was without the shim. At some point I will get something more permanent sorted
Still need to add one more bolt for the RIS (through the upper section of the rifle) but other than that I am hoping she's now done
