This is the 3rd and FINAL installment of the MCX Spear LT and the barrel issues that we saw.
In this video, we explore MCX barrel deviation and provide valuable insights into its measurement and effects. By setting up a controlled test, we aimed to accurately determine the amount of deflection in the barrel.
To conduct the test, we secured the SIG Sauer MCX in a vise and utilized a laser bore sight and a @SteinerOpticsUSA Dbal as our control reference. Throughout the video, we demonstrate the flexing of the barrel at various distances, marking points to measure the deviation accurately.
Although our setup was not in a laboratory setting, we made the most of the available tools to give you a rough approximation of the barrel's deviation. We focused on windage deviation, observing significant flexion to the left and right, while the elevation deviation was relatively minimal.
At closer distances, such as five and ten yards, we measured slight but noticeable deviations. However, as we extended the distance to 15 yards, the amount of flexion increased significantly, providing a glimpse into the potential deviations that could occur at longer ranges.
Our measurements, although approximate due to the limitations of our tools, indicated deviations of approximately 1/8 of an inch at five yards, 3/16 of an inch at ten yards, and around an inch at 15 yards. These results highlight the importance of understanding barrel deviation, especially when aiming for precision at longer distances.
