I have put a little over 1000 rounds through the Head Down Products PV13 rifle. They were nice enough to send it to us before it was released so we have spent some good quality time with it to see what we can find.
To this point the only malfunctions we had were the first 5 full magazines that were put through it were jam city, this was easily resolved by switching to a P-mag. The magazine it shipped with was not a standard one they ship out with their rifles. This is really not even a notable issue as they are all shipped with P-mags now.
After we get the other 1000 rounds through it we will get the review posted, though I don’t suspect we will find any surprises as this rifle is one of the most solid builds I have had the pleasure of shooting. So go check out the first impression so you can count how many times I said gorgeous and stand by the full review is coming soon. Also they are having a sale over at HeadDown so if you want this today is a good day to pull the trigger… no pun intended.
