If I remember correctly, that performed the best in the Brownell's test. I know it did extremely well.

Look at your brass. I will bet that the mouth of all of them that hit you in the face have a small v shape dent. The brass is most likely hitting the ejection port and being diverted upward. This can be corrected in a couple of ways. One is to have the ejection port lowered, another is to have...

I have 2, both Rock River. 1 is a 7" bbl, the other a 10" and both work flawlessly. I have heard of cycling problems with other brands and with home builds, but almost all seem to be related to buffer tube issues. Rock River uses standard CAR tubes and springs. My AR pistols are both the least...

Brownells did a corrosion prevention test a few years ago. Several products were tested. Boeshield T9, a wax based bicycle chain lube did extremely well.

In South Dakota you have no duty to retreat from anywhere, even outside your home if you are there lawfully. Your second statement is golden. People should take some comfort from the Castle Doctrine hopefully being there to protect them in the event they absolutely, positively, no way...

The OP's description of the shop owner's attitude reminds of the "Soup Nazi" episode of Seinfeld. NO PARTS FOR YOU! :D

Isn't what a disgrace? New Jersey, or the fact that the gun can't be shipped there? :D

Thanks for the tip! I'll check that on mine and see if it makes a difference.

I believe he is describing the same thing mine does. It is extracting but the OAL of the FMJ rounds is just ever so slightly longer than the ejection port and the round gets wedged in. He says:

It isn't empties that get stuck, its loaded fmj ammo when trying to remove the cambered round.

Mine does that too. The easiest solution I've found is to drop the mag and replace the top round with an empty case, reinsert the mag and then eject the round.

New twist on the "No Child Left Behind" program?

It is not like paint. It is a chemical process. You will probably find that it is not as wear resistant as blued carbon steel though. I believe Smith & Wesson called the "Black Magic"

That we can certainly agree on.
