Firearm BS thread

A pair of Remington 521Ts. The top one is from the 1960s (mine). The bottom one is from the 1940s (my dad’s).

 

I've got a couple P220's and a P226 that probably have 10-15K rounds on each. All still running like a clock on original parts.

 

DA/SA sigs will always have a home with me.
Plus the new xmacro comp added to the fam.

 

All of my pistols wear Leather. I was never a fan of plastic. I know they've made some nice Kydex but I've always been a fan of leather. I really like the ones with a smooth soft liner.

 

I run Kydex. Hard to beat the function and form factor. I run a high sweat guard, deep conceal, zero cant from Havok Holsters. Had to shop around between only a few companies that make them for the Mischief Machine grip modules.

 

Plus it's pretty hard to get this print onto leather haha

 

OOOOPPPPPSSSS my bad, I carry one pistol in Kydex, a Taurus Slim 709 9mm.

 

Lol. That's awesome

 

The American Glock does not exi-

 

Glock has been in GA for almost 40 years now and full production in the US for more than 10 now.

 

Weather is getting nice so finally went out and repainted all my steel targets. Be nice to actually see where Im hitting now on the longer range ones instead of just hearing it lol


Also was trying out some new to me 762x39 ammo. Thought it was being weird. Was sort of "loose" in the magazine and not tight. No real failure to feed the first 20 rounds but after reloading to shoot more....1 shot and guess the follower decided it didnt want to move anymore lol. So the other 19 rounds went all over the ground after removing the magazine. Guess it is time to clean that mag and either replace a part or just replace it outright.

 

The feed lips may be mis-shapen. After cleaning, compare the mag to a known working one.

A very minor misalignment of the feed lips can cause major problems in feeding.

 

Ive never had an issue like that with ak mags. Maybe just needed some lube

 

I haven't either so it was interesting. It has 1-2k through it too before today. I don't remember dropping it on a hard surface (concrete for example) but maybe it hit a rock just right or something.

Someday maybe I'll look into it. But it is a surplus mag and was like five bucks when I got it so into the "who knows what I'll do with this" pile it went and out came a new surplus mag lol

 

Get a 1/2" dowel and run the follower down see if it catches on something.

 

Since you asked lol

Its definitely the mag body thats the issue. Disassembled it and just trying to run the follower through the body and it binds starting like an inch from the feed lips down like 3 inches down from the feed lips then slides freely. maybe itll try to fix it or maybe just keep the spare parts of it and toss the body. Only bummer is it is a Polish surplus mag...but i have plenty more lol
