Firearm BS thread

I have a 10.5" AR-Stoner .300BLK barrel which is the Midway house brand. I have read that they can be a bit hit and miss but for what it is mine is exceptional, with ammo it likes I can shoot MOA at 100 yards which is better than I could ask for out of a short little barrel like that. I want to say it was ~$75 for the barrel.

 

I want one of these bad! https://www.gunbroker.com/item/858049477

 

my question is...do they include a bcg and charging handle in the price? If not, make sure of the specs when you buy a bcg. Also with this, proper head spacing is very important. If you are unsure, get a set of head space gauges from Brownells.

 

I have 2 mounted on Anderson lowers. Both rifles are identical.
1 has recently developed issues after swapping lowers.

New setup using SB Tactical PDW brace.
Old setup was standard buffer tube and SBA3 brace.

Will not cycle with usual blasting ammo (Wolf Gold) but will with others (Speer).
Have not tinkered with it since failures to determine true cause.

Ammo.
Gas port.
Buffer tube.




Have other PSA products in the family....this is first with a known "issue".
We shoot a good bit but are not taking classes every weekend.

 

The very first thing I'd do is check gas block tension/alignment, followed by gas ring replacement. Ensure all the gas is available for use by the rifle. Most of the time a rifle will tend towards overgassed from springs wearing out and gas ports eroding, and will tend to undergas/shortstroke with loosening gas blocks and worn out gas rings.

Edit: this is assuming you tear down the rifle and do a quick once over to ensure things are clean and lubricated properly.

 

Can anyone tell me the value of two colt pistols both 1874 and one is #100 and the second is #101. Not mine. A friend owns them. Thanks.

 

Find a professional, it's not likely we'll give you good info here.

Actually, ignore that. They're worth 10 bucks a pop. I'll give you 20 each just to get them off his hands.

 

If perfect and original could be $500K, HIGHLY UNLIKELY they are perfect or original.

 

well.....crap

 

join the Colt forum, they can give you guidance on all things Colt...……………….

from how to verify year of manufacture
who can work on them
and what they would be worth.

 

Added another pea shooter to the collection today. I wasn’t in the market for it but friend was selling it and couldn’t say no to the price. Welcome to the family. Taurus model 66 with a 4” barrel. .357 magnum

 

This honey badger is amazing

 

What lengths are the barrel, break, and handguard? This looks perfectly sized for the truck gun I’m wanting to build...
And I think that’s a 30rd mag?

 

Barrel is 7in. Rail is 6 inches. The overall length collapsed is 20 in. Perfect truck gun

 

What caliber? 5.56?

 

DM serial numbers please. I'll look them up.
Is he looking to sell them? Or just a value?

 

This one’s a 300 BLK

 

I just nutted seeing this laying on the same leather seat that I have... drooling
