4.7. Performance Standards

The following performance standards will be assessed during initial source selection. Performance standards shall also be maintained throughout the life of the contract and shall be subject to random verification by the government.

4.7.1. Trigger Weight

Rifle assemblies SBR (SOW Section 4.1.1), SPR (SOW Section 4.1.3), and DMR (SOW Section 4.1.5) shall have their trigger pull weight measured and recorded.

4.7.1.1. Unloaded rifle shall be mounted on an AR lower

receiver magazine well vise block secured in a vise.

4.7.1.2. Trigger weight shall be measured and recorded using

Lyman Digital Trigger Pull Gauge.

4.7.1.3. The firearm barrel axis will be parallel to the Lyman Trigger Pull Gauge. The trigger pull gauge will be inserted into the trigger mechanism, such that it rests against the inside curve on the trigger. The portion of the trigger pull gauge in contact with the trigger will be constructed from a freely spinning mechanism. This will allow the test setup to adjust for the “arc” pattern typical amongst most trigger mechanisms. As the trigger is pulled and progresses along its arc pattern, the trigger tool will be able to move freely along the trigger ensuring the force applied to the trigger is always parallel with the barrel of the weapon.

This process will be continued until the weapon “dry-fires”.

At this point the trigger pull testing will be concluded. The final load applied to achieve “dry-fire”, in pounds, shall be recorded.

4.7.1.4. Trigger weight will be measured a total of ten times for both semi and auto function and recorded. Each ten trigger pulls weights per function will be averaged separately and those average weights shall be recorded for scoring purposes.

4.7.1.5. Standard Deviation will be calculated per each

function and recorded for scoring purposes.

4.7.2. Precision Grouping (Initial and Post)

Rifle assemblies SBR (SOW Section 4.1.1), SPR (SOW Section 4.1.3), and DMR (SOW Section 4.1.5) shall be shot for accuracy grouping.

4.7.2.1. Initial precision grouping shall be conducted prior to reliability/durability testing.

4.7.2.2. Post precision grouping shall be conducted after

conclusion of reliability/durability testing.

4.7.2.3. Rifle shall be cleaned and lubricated in accordance

with the owner’s manual.

4.7.2.4. Rifle upper receiver shall be secured into a Bill

Weisman and Co. (wisemanballistics.com) AR receiver fixture, attached to a windage and elevation table, bolted to the concrete floor. All accuracy testing will be fired using duty ammunition, Federal Ammunition Z223SP 62 grain rifle cartridges.

4.7.2.5. “Settling shots”, not to exceed 5, may be fired prior to shooting for record.

4.7.2.6. Five 5 - shot groups will be fired at a distance of 100 yards.

4.7.2.7. The best four of the five 5-shot groups will be used to obtain a final average group size per rifle.

4.7.2.8. Accuracy shall be measured utilizing paper witness

targets, adhered to a semi-rigid material, mounted in a rigid test fixture. Measurements shall be taken from outer edge to outer edge of the further most holes, and then subtract the bullet diameter to obtain a “center to center” final calculation.

4.7.2.9. Barrel will be cooled to ambient temperature (+/- 10 degree) between groups.

4.7.2.10. The average initial precision grouping per rifle shall not exceed 3.00 inches with an optimal grouping of 1.50 inches.
