As of 12/20/2024, I’ve shot over 2000 rounds through the Bul Armory SAS II Ultralight!
There were no malfunctions this past range trip, but there’s not been a failure in a long while. The last I remember a malfunction occurring was October 25 of 2023. It was a few days after the pistol course I took. It was a failure to feed. That day, the round tally was 986 rounds through the gun. The total failures up to that point was 8 rounds. The failure rate was 0.81% (8 is 0.81% of 986).
As of now, the total round count through the gun is 2028. There’s been no failures since 10/25/2023, so the total failures is still 8 rounds. 8 is 0.394477% of 2028 – the current failure rate is 0.39%.
The gun has been having an issue with retaining the optic. The optic screws keep loosening and I don’t know why. I removed the screws a few weeks ago and cleaned them of old thread locker. I’ve been using blue. What I couldn’t do was clean the female threads, as I’ve no way to clean them. I think I might remove the optic again to clean the screw threads (I may also try to order more screws) – I’ll use the screws from the iron sights to attempt to push out any gunk that are on the threads of the screw holes on the slide.
It’s disappointing to see that my optic is moving when I’m trying to train. The optic isn’t loose to the point that I can feel it moving if I wiggle it with my fingers, but when I use a torx bit to test tightness, I can immediately tell that a screw (one screw specifically) is loose, as the screw isn’t snug when I check.
I’m still planning to buy another grip module for this gun – Bul Armory has them on their site for $149 and it has better texture. I’ll order that within the next month or two.
My journey with this gun will continue – I’ll have owned it 2 years in March. It’s been a good gun, thus far. Here’s to another upcoming good year with it!
