I shot it yesterday afternoon for the first time. Sixty rounds (three different loads) fired, and three mags tested. Reliability was 100%. Trigger a bit spungy, but not bad for a military rifle. About like an AK-47. I ran it pretty wet.
Best groups were not particularly impressive at about 2.5" at 100 yards off the bench. That was with Federal white box (mil spec) 130 grain ball marked T762TNB1 7.62x51mm. The next best was with the Lake City (mil spec) 147 grain. Groups were just a little bigger with those (about 2.70" average). Worst groups (about 3.5" average) were with American Eagle 168 grain ball marked 7.62x51mm "For M1A Use." Looks like it prefers the lighter bullets.
