Just finished a 2 day tactical rifle class over the weekend. Took my AXR. Happy to say the AXR didn't have a single issue.
Fired approx. 600 rounds of HSM 55 grain soft point over 2 days. Day 1 weather was crappy: constant rain, mud etc. I even left the rifle on the rack at one point and came back to find rainwater dripping off of the roof right into the ejection port.

The AXR had absolutely zero failures to feed, eject, extract or any other issues.

The other student rifles were 13 AR-15s, 1 FAL and one Robinson XCR.
I didn't keep an exact record or anything. But I would say the majority of the AR-15's had one problem or another. There were some double/triple feeds, lots of failure to go into battery, also a case head separation.

I would say most of the Issues the Ar-15s had were due to improper lubrication or crappy ammo. But this still speaks pretty well for the AXR.

Thanks Kent for making a great rifle.

Another 800ish round weekend. this was a mix of HSM softpoints, American Eagle, PMC and Hotshot FMJ. Had one failure to feed wit the AXR... the magazine wasn't seated.
