Thoughts on an ACCU STRUT

[Busterswoodshop]

I recently purchased a used Mini 14.
It had an ACCU STRUT installed on it.
After shooting the gun I don't see any advantage to it.
So I was wondering others opinion on it.
Is a worthwhile add on or just another gadget.

Remove it and see if anything changes. :idea:

I picked up my mini sans accu-strut and groups were so so. I installed the strut x-drill and groups did tighten. I didn't take measurements or anything but I think it helped. I use iron sight usually around 100yds. Fun as hell to shoot!

My groups did tighten up when I installed one as well.

I will try that.
Shoot the gun with it on and again with it off.

So what is the logic behind it.
I heard it helps prevent barrel whip , but I would think the bullet is already out of the barrel before the barrel moves ?

Thats really the only way to tell for sure.

Have one on mine along with the Tech-Sight. Saw an improvement with each one.

From other threads in this forum on this subject it seems the struts help some with the older Minis but not really with the new tapered barrel ones.

Do you see any disadvantage to it? If not then why fret over it?

One disadvantage.
It does add 1/2 of a pound to the gun.
