This is the suggested break in and a few tips provided by a Huge supporter of Robinson and the XCR Rifle
Thanks...VB. ;D
Just remember the 300 round break in before messing with the gas system. I shoot mine on gas setting 2 with NATO M855/SS109
Make sure to tighten the gas nut if you take it off or it can become loose while shooting which is bad if you hike and shoot.
Make sure not to try and push a full 30 round mag in with the bolt closed. The XCR mag sits high so bullets feed in a straight line. Full mags dont like being forced in.
Dont shoot nose "to the charging handle"
Dont push up on the bolt release and pull the bolt back at the same time
Dont cut any trigger springs. It gets better the more you shoot it and breaks RRA two stage style after awhile
Get a hex wrench set and take it with you to the range just in case. I havent had a problem with anything getting loose, but better safe than sorry.
Bring a gas tube wrench in case you want to experiment. I shoot mine on gas setting 2 always, but you may want to tweak yours a few times and get a feel for what you like most.
Dont over tighten the folding stock spring. It doesnt lock but the stock doesnt move unless you want it to
Get a camera and take lots of pics after you get it
Lube the hell out of it for awhile.
That is all my advice. I've abused the shit out of my XCR just to see what not to do. Damn tough carbine though
