75 feet is only 25 yards. I agree that rifling has a great impact on an FSR round. However, I can hit a target at 25yards with that kind of accuracy with an EGO. Impress me with 40 yards or more. Also, what batch of FSR did they shoot this from? I ask because as I said in another post in these forums, the last 200 rounds I have shot through my T9.1 with the LAPCO barrel were suffering severe barrel break issues and were not flying right at all. I was having better results at 40 yards with the stock smooth barrel from Tiberius. Just sayin'....

There may be a lot of surprised people watching that video on Punkworks, but the fact that a rifled barrel is far better than a smooth bore is old news on this Forum. The interesting thing is that you can't see the whole set-up. Is the rifle being fired freehand by someone standing and shooting at 25 yards? Is the rifle benched? On a bipod? If I was shooting groups that large at 25 yards I would be very concerned. Just imagine what those groups look like at 75 yards.
I have said it before and I will say it again. The Lapco/Tiberius barrel is like the canary in the coal mine. When the quality control on the first strikes start to suffer that small .683 bore just doesn't handle really big first strikes well.
I noticed that my latest batch of rounds (2 boxes of 100) had two problems that I haven't seen before. The first is that there was a light coat of white oily residue on the rounds in both packages. Initially, I thought there was a broken round somewhere in the bag of the first box I opened. Nope, and it was present in both bags. It required me to wipe each and every round down to get the stuff off.
The second thing I found disturbing was that one round in each of the packages was so large it stuck in the 8-round tubes and wouldn't fall to the bottom. I think I know what would happen if that one got pushed down a .683 barrel. I didn't bother measuring them, just threw both of them away.

Local pb shop offed 2 boxes of 40 fsr's to me for a good price .Same results,white residue like a broken ball.Also looked like an air bubble was inside the tip,I shaked it a bit it went away.Quality control needs to step up.I pay good money for these and expect top notch rounds.
