Firearm BS thread

I started documenting the process for sending the shotgun back to Mossberg but they disappeared and haven't responded since. It was easier to just take it apart and fix it myself. I still like it, just disappointed in their customer service.

 

KSG is just fine. UTAS is complete trash and you're better off taking the money you would use to buy that and throwing it directly into the toilet and then double flushing. It will cause much less stress.

That sucks.

 

Wondering if I could get some help with a at issue I am thinking its the extractor but want opinions.

Out hunting the other night and at the end of the night the bolt hung open like my mag was empty (it was not) so I manually chambered a round with the charging handle went to shoot and just a click went to cycle the round and the whole bolt was jammed I had to completely remove the upper and then pull with alot of fource to get the bolt to come back and eject the round happend 3 times and I called it quits.. Now at home 1 of about every 6 rounds fails to eject. Brass or steel does not matter. Gun has less then 100 rounds threw it

 

Its a ar I built, all parts from PSA. Sorry thought I wrote that lol

 

Tried it with mulyipul mags and ammo same thing happens I may try running extra lube

 

What lube you running? Iv had buddies have issues with cheap lube

 

Remington that's all I know will have to look when I get home

 

Hmm iv never had issues with rem oil, maybe try some frog lube you made need that little extra slide

 

Is your buffer tube far enough in that it is retaining the buffer detent pin? I don't think this is your problem, but it is plausible.

Any idea what is catching on the inside of the receiver if anything, if it isn't under-lubed? I.E. Can you see any bare metal or marring anywhere where there may be more metal on metal contact than there is supposed to be?

 

Could the castle not being loose cause this? It was only hand tight I had used loc tight bit I guess not enough it was not falling off though was just snug by hand

And nope nothing seems to be catching that I noticed everything functions perfect when unloaded only have issues when cycling rounds

 

Mine didn't have a single problem till this night something's wrong I'm just ignorant with this stuff and don't really know what to look for

 

What type of firearm (guessing AR)? What buffer? What length gas system? What magazines? What ammo? Specifically what caliber and what chamber is your barrel? Who's BCG? Properly staked & assembled? Who's upper receiver? There's some other things that could help but that's a good start.

 

Its a 5.56 issue happens with both .223 and 5.56 I hunt with 5.56 and got the upper for that exact reason

 

And yes its a ar

Everything is PSA about all I know I can get part numbers if that helps you when I get home. It happens with surplus mags my mag pulls and a few of a friends I tried. And has happend with my hogzilla rounflds steel and brass rounds and everything else I had to try to cycle.

 

Anybody here running Ameriglo Hack sights on their pistols?

I'm not a fan of all white 3 dots, and none of my pistols are competition guns, so I'm thinking running 1 dots on them. I feel like the fluorescent paint with trit insert up front and solid back would make for a nice all lighting quick pickup sight system.

 

It's not impossible that it not being quite tight enough could allow the buffer tube to shift just enough to get the detent out of whack and inadvertently retaining the BCG.

 

Check the common stuff. Make sure you didn't install the bolt backwards. Pull the carrier & make sure the das tube looks straight in the upper receiver. Look at the barrel extension and make sure there's no primers in there, or up under the carrier. Pull the buffer & the spring & make sure there are no primers or shavings or gunk in the extension tube. I built a gun for a buddy one time & he kept blowing primers out of cheapo ammo and causing his upper to lock up. One was up above the gas key and really jammed the sucker up.

 

Anyone here conceal carry a glock 23/19? I got a 23 today and am looking for holsters

 

I carry a 19 daily. I make my own index holsters. The one I normally use is a leather backed kydex holster. I modded my 19 to accept an Insight x2 light that is just past muzzle length.
