I love the real world feedback. I'm also in the <9" 300blk campI picked up one of the 5.56 10.5" models. The dry fire function and overall quality appears excellent. At the range I ran into ejection issues on every fired round. But would eject when manually racked. With that said, the feel, recoil, and balance was amazing. I can't wait to find the issue and try the suppressor. Looking forward to picking up a 300blk hopefully in something shorter than the 8.5". Anyone else having ejection issues??
