Wow, I've never seen anyone so proficient in making their lego's look so much like real guns!
It looks like Vera, Vera Jr., and Vera III......Those things look expensive!
(I'm not knocking them with the lego comment, they look nice)

They ain't cheap, but nothing in the M14 world is these days...

(advice from anyone is welcome):

Let's say that you bought your first gun about three months ago, an M-1 Carbine built by Kahr. Your previous gun experience was owning a bolt-action, single-shot Savage .22. Until recently, I only fired guns twice or three times since 1985. No exaggeration except for about twice shooting my friend's AR-15 recently and his Walther .22.
Impressive and THEY never jam.

The M-1 Carbine is brand new from a popular gunstore here and out of each 3-5 rounds, one fails to load up into the chamber. A problem round is usually cocked up at an angle, still partly in the magazine. Most of the time, pulling the bolt back again hooks the shell and it goes in. The shorter magazine came with the gun (the large 30-round mag. which I paid for at the same store is worthless-few rounds make it into the chamber, if at all...but let's forget about that). The gun is cleaned and oiled after almost each firing. To emphasize, I have no knowledge of "autoloaders" at all (mag. springs etc)-and the gun was new. Have no knowledge of gun parts, in general.

You leave the gun with the gunsmith....now he does not work FOR the gunstore, but his shop is in back. The gun has been there about two-three weeks with no word. Maybe four...I can't remember how long.
Keep in mind, I've never dealt with a gun store or a gunsmith before the last three months (except for a minor adjustment on the .22), and have only left the (experienced) gunsmith one message about 5 days ago, asking him what is happening-not wanting to sound impatient, demanding or bug the guy. I feel like a guy who is on a horse and has only ridden horses a few times. They can sense it.

How long do you wait before calling again? How long would the gun's warranty last? When the gun was dropped off, his first request was to see a box of ammo, because he wondered whether a "hotter load" might be needed. He speaks very little. Gave him the empty box of (110-grain) Rem. copper jacket ammo from the store.

What would you do now-wait until the gun has been there a month?
I feel like something is just not right :scrutiny:and maybe I should have bought a Ruger mini-. People say that they are very reliable, but I wanted a classic, RELIABLE lower-cost US military rifle with a wooden stock which fires lower-cost ammo.
Do brand-new Kahr carbines have a questionable reputation, and if so, is it deserved?

You guys have some beautiful guns up there.
To paraphrase some guy on the History Channel who discussed the AK-47:
I sincerely hope some of you guys live near us whenever "western civilization has a melt down" (it might have already begun...).
 
Not sure why you asked me the question specifically but I'd be happy to give you my opinion...and it will be worth every penny you paid for it ;)

Impressive and THEY never jam.

First, SOME examples of ANY gun will jam. Just because the examples you've shot don't doesn't mean that none of them will. As they say in the more geeky professions..."one point doesn't make a line"

A problem round is usually cocked up at an angle, still partly in the magazine. Most of the time, pulling the bolt back again hooks the shell and it goes in.

There could be a bazillion (approximately) reasons why this is going on. However, the first thing you should ALWAYS suspect with an autoloading firearm is the magazine. You should obtain a high quality, USGI 15 round magazine (or a few) and try it. If you still have this problem it could be such things as a burr on the extractor, a rough bolt face, out-of-spec parts. It could also just be normal "break in" of a mechanical device that, 200 or so rounds later, works itself out and goes away.

the large 30-round mag. which I paid for at the same store is worthless

IMHO if a M1 Carbine mag isn't USGI or foreign military, it's a waste of money.

The gun has been there about two-three weeks with no word. Maybe four... He speaks very little.

In his defense, I don't know many gunsmiths worth their salt that don't have a pretty sizeable backlog. 3-6 weeks isn't uncommon. That said, a lot of people don't like local gun shops/gunsmiths because, while they may know guns, certainly do not know business. Concepts like customer service and communication are foreign to them. They should at least be able to give you an estimate of timeframe.

his first request was to see a box of ammo, because he wondered whether a "hotter load" might be needed.

That concerns me that this was his first thought...it is certainly one of the things that you'd look at but it concerns me that this is the first thing he went for.

My recommendations:
  • Ask for a timeframe that they'll be able to look at it
  • Try new mags
  • Ask what the gunsmith looked at...if he didn't look at mags, extractors, bolt face, etc...get the gun back and move on
  • If they can't solve it, you should be looking to Kahr for the answer

M1 Carbines are a lot of fun. I have a 1942 Inland that is a hoot.

My thoughts...
 
Iamkris:

I really appreciate your advice and will follow all of it when I have a few days off. The gunsmith might be one of the very best in the area.

If I decided to ship it back to Kahr, then what is required by Fedex or UPS (I've never mailed any weapon)?
Maybe Kahr's warranty would cover insurance during shipping?
 
Kahr will be able to tell you and/or may have specific ways they want it shipped. But the short answer is that you can use the Post Office (must declare it as a firearm) or UPS/FedEx. Because it is going back for repair, they'll be able to ship it direct to you...no FFL required.
 
grimjaw, is that Mosin a homemade sniper or the real deal? it's the nicest I've ever seen homemade or genuine.
 
to The Annoyed Man, I really like your VSF! How does it shoot? I almost bought one at a major outdoor retail chain in which I shouldn't mention, ahem sportsmans warehouse ahem. Oops I let that slip sorry. Anyway, I was going to purchase that model but I wanted to know if I could purchase a 2007 model because according to the Remington website 06's used aluminum pillar bedding and in 07 they went to an aluminum block bedding which increased the price too. They said pretty much I would have to take what they have and they would not accomadate me in any way. I could only think about why would I buy a 06 rifle for an 07 price? So for 400 less I bought the SPS Varmint and settled without the fluted barrel. With the 400 I saved I bought a stock that I liked better and still came out 130 ahead. That is not including what I sold the original SPS stock for on ebay. Anyway, what do you have for optics, rings, and bases on your VSF?
 
RRA A4 Elite Carbine is the coolest one I have right now. Building an AR-10T SASS right now...that's going to be my crown jewel.
