AR-15 BS Thread

Pretty sure that's at every Walmart... Shelves have been empty everywhere for a while. Can't even go shooting without buying range ammo at 400% markup

 

Nice

 

Tell me about it! 9mm target ammo is at least $15 a box now. I've even seen it for $20! I'm glad I bought 1000 rounds for $10.50 a box in December but I'm hoarding the stuff now. lol

 

Please don't contribute to the problem...

 

I have a smith and Wesson m&p 15. Input it after Election Day. Everyone thought it was a crazy thing to do and all I said was "I better get one before Inauguration Day. Now who's crazy?

 

Thanks

 

Hey guys! I know for some of you magazines are a bit hard to find!

I ordered from a site called shop.awbprepper.com last week.

They were very professional, had fast shipping, and the products were as described.

They have better pricing than all of the gun shops around me right now.

Hope this can help some of you out!

 

I think you misunderstood that. I just meant I don't want to shoot the ammo I already have since its so expensive to replace.

 

I don't think "I'm hoarding the stuff now." is easy to misunderstand...

 

Pros and cons of Magpul VS Promag? Anyone?

 

Got to finally shoot my AR. started off a little rough. The BCG is quite snug so I am having issues with feeding. It won't go into battery so I have to use the forward assist to engage it. Than from there everything fires great. Zeroed the iron sights at 50 yards and was stacking bullets and groupings were smaller than a quarter. So I am extremely happy with how accurate it is. Now just need to break it and and the the BCG moving skittle better.

 

Your BCG should slide freely in the upper, and go into battery without using the FA. Make sure you're not getting gas tube contact....

Remove the bolt, and see if the carrier is free in the upper. If your gas tube is blocking the smooth action of the carrier, you may need to adjust it. If it is a bolt lock up problem, you may have something wrong with the bolt or barrel extension.

 

Everything is correct as far as the gas tube. i took a different BCG and slid it in and it is completely smooth and fine. The BCG that i have the bolt and gas rings are very tight and takes some force to move the bolt in and out of the carrier. Also the firing pin cam was lop sided when i got it and i had to remove some metal off one side if it to allow it to slide back and forth. And the more and more it has been moved in and out and fired the easier it is getting. So i am just going to keep running rounds through it and might take a file to some of the edges tonight. there are a couple small wear spots on it already so i am figuring that could be a cause also. So everything is pointing to a fitment issue with the BCG and the upper and gas tube are good.

 

Did you buy it new or used? Id send it in for warranty.

 

New but it was built by me.

 

And the carrier by itself is completely smooth. i add just the bolt, no cam or firing pin and its still fine than than with the cam in it starts to get alittle snug. i am gonna go pick up another cam and see if that helps.

 

Ya there is a fault somewhere in there. It shouldn't ever feel snug and like something is rubbing. It should feel smooth no matter what. Even after shooting 500 rounds through mine it still feels smooth

 

Yeah i am gonna see what i can find by changing out a few things.

On a side note i did get to shoot a SCAR with a can on it. it was pretty sweet. kinda heavy and it was more difficult to shoulder it and stay accurate. I would never buy one but it was pretty cool to shoot.

 

All better now. Smoothed out the firing pin cam and found a small spot on the carrier key that had a lot of wear so obviously making contact so i shaved it down a touch and smoothed it all out and now the BCG is completely smooth and doesnt hang at all.

 

Is the carrier key on straight?
