Do it within 30 days or earlier.
I have the 16 in also. Only issues I have are not resetting the trigger with standard velocity. Tried a few cci mini mags and they worked fine. Would like to get it to work consistently with standard velocity.
Update #4 . Today I took the rifle out to wring it out for absolute reliability. I shot multiple 30 round strings of CCI Mini Mags, CCI Standard Velocity, PMC Target and Federal Auto Match for a total of about 400 rounds. NO MALFUNCTIONS occurred and I did not clean it since I started shooting it. I fooled around, shot it sideways unsupported, barely holding in one hand, and as fast as I could pull the trigger and I had 0 problems. It still will not fire Winchester 333 and Winchester Xpert are iffy.
I am very happy and want to thank KEV308 for the pointer.

I have a few guns that DO NOT like Winchester anything. Ruger 10/22 has no problems but a few semi auto pistols puke on them. Over a decade ago, I took a microscope to many brands of 22LR. Winchester has bad rim flatness. CCI is the best rim flatness.
CCI great
ELY good
Federal not bad
American Eagle so so
Remington not very good
Winchester bad
So would anyone recommend getting one now?
Held off after the initial bad reviews but this sounds promising

I wouldn't if I had to do it over again. I'm probably going to test mine, then determine if I want to get rid of it or not.
Does the clock start over on the new upper?
I asked the customer service rep if this replacement failed within 30 days, if I could get my money back. No response.
[Kev308];6550388 said:I took the new upper out briefly today and didn't have good results so far. Could just be the ammo. I planned of testing 5 different types of ammo. I only got thru 2 of them. So far I tried Aguila and Armscor standard velocity. Both had similar results. I could only fire one round at a time. The following round looked like it chambered but it seemed the trigger did not reset. Pushing the side charger forward had no effect and pulling the charger back ejected the following unfired round. IT WAS COLD!!! 19 DEGREES, MY HANDS WERE SHAKING, and I did not have the will to figure out what was happening. This was a new lower I hadn't used before so I swapped uppers to a new BCA 16" 5.56 I bought months ago and haven't used yet. I had no issues with that upper and it grouped fairly well despite all the shivering.
I really think you need to break it in with CCI Mini Mags before it will fire SV ammo. At least that is how mine worked.
