Is JShirley still active on here?
Over two years ago, JShirley gave me a Manix 2 LW as a Christmas gift purely out of kindness because I blamed him for hooking me on blue Spydies.
I thought he might want to know that the knife has been in the pocket of my twin brother at the United States...
All of your answers have been very helpful, both the general opinions and the answers to my specific questions. I think my choice now is between the Rock Island vs. saving for a little longer and getting the Ruger. The Springfield is also a great gun but the parts and labor to change parts take...
I am looking at getting my first 1911 sometime in the next month, I was hoping for some advice/answers to a few questions I have.
I am on a tight budget, and I am looking at 3 different guns. I can get a Rock Island Armory Tactical with a factory duracoat finish, beavertail, and extended...
We were using a Powder flask which has a 30 grain spout. Each chamber gets 30 grains and a lead ball.
It was my error not to have kept a closer eye on him while he was loading the gun. He has been shooting the Hawken for a year now and the Remington for a few months now and only been...
Thanks guys. I was planning on hitting up the hardware store for a better dowel tomorrow morning before work. My grandfather down the street has a vice I can use.
After church, I took my brother shooting out in the boonies in Indiana. Took the .50 Hawken, 1858 Remington, and my AR. Near the end of our day, after a few hours of marvelous fun, lots of sweat, and great groups, I was shooting my AR while my brother loaded the 1858. After I finished my 3 shot...
...over rounds with 5.56 and near about 50% skips and jams with .223 spec ammo. Which is weird because with the old block it would run hot 5.56 *almost* 100% (2 failures of about 150 rounds, frequent failures to lock on empty) but refused to run .223 (Incl. Federal) at all.
I really hadn't...
Thanks for the help guys. I inspected the tube carefully, it seems fine. I just put on a new block that seems to fit better; if that doesn't fix it I am going to find a way to measure the port precisely and either make it larger myself or get it done professionally.
I have read somethings...
The .223 spec American Eagle did not cycle correctly even a single time.
The "Wolf" in question is not steel cased Russian stuff, it is "Wolf Gold", Taiwanese made 5.56 M193 with sealed primers and clean, consistent performance at an affordable price. I love the stuff, it just happens to be...
I also think it is a gas issue, I'm trying to weigh options before working on the port as a last resort. I don't really have the tools to measure it precisely, and all I have to work on it would be a standard hand drill. I have done a lot of work on AKs, including converting Saigas, but I don't...
It has a standard carbine buffer and I even tried taking weight out of that. Unfortunately I think the previous owner voided the warranty by swapping the gas block.
A few weeks ago I traded for an Anderson/DS Arms build, a 16" Midlength gas system chambered in 5.56. I have put about 200 rounds through it and am having some issues.
It will cycle and fire full spec 5.56 ammo (mostly Wolf Gold and a bit of Lake City M193) 100% fine, however, it will short...
