X95 Accuracy Test

Published on May 3, 2016
Duration: 19:02

This guide details the process of removing the polymer barrel bushing from an IWI X95, a modification explored by Military Arms Channel to potentially improve accuracy by allowing the barrel to free-float more effectively. The expert assessment highlights that this modification did not yield significant accuracy improvements in testing, concluding the X95 averages around 2 MOA. The video emphasizes a methodical approach to testing and analysis.

Quick Summary

Military Arms Channel conducted an in-depth accuracy test of the IWI X95, finding it to be a 2 MOA rifle on average. Removing the polymer barrel bushing did not significantly improve accuracy, placing its performance on par with a standard M4 rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average accuracy of the IWI X95 rifle?

Based on systematic testing by Military Arms Channel, the IWI X95 rifle consistently achieves an average accuracy of approximately 2 MOA (Minute of Angle). This means groups typically measure around 2 inches at 100 yards.

Did removing the polymer barrel bushing improve the IWI X95's accuracy?

In the tests conducted by Military Arms Channel, removing the polymer barrel bushing from the IWI X95 did not yield a definitive or significant improvement in accuracy. The rifle's performance remained consistent with its baseline 2 MOA average.

How does the IWI X95's accuracy compare to an M4 rifle?

The IWI X95's average accuracy of around 2 MOA is considered comparable to, or slightly better than, a standard military M4 rifle, which is generally expected to achieve approximately 3 MOA.

What factors were analyzed for IWI X95 accuracy issues?

The analysis focused on potential accuracy issues stemming from the polymer ring in the handguard contacting the barrel, affecting harmonics. Different ammunition types (Federal, Black Hills, IMI, American Eagle) were also systematically tested.
