    What is the Latin American Arms Treaty?

    Well, all I see is the word "or" at the end of those sentences. Maybe I can't read lawyer. There could still be many exceptions, which is why I wondered out loud about it.

    What is the Latin American Arms Treaty?

    Yes, now I'm curious how much wiggle room there typically exists in these treaties within a particular country domestically. Anyway, thanks for the info. It's something to at least keep an eye on, because a trafficking treaty didn't seem harmful at first glance.

    What is the Latin American Arms Treaty?

    Could someone provide some tech on what this involves? The news outlets haven't gotten around to analyzing it and I couldn't find anything on the web or Wikipedia. Apparently Clinton signed it but it was never ratified. Not interested in the politics, just the details behind it.

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    Thanks. I was told they might decrease a bit as the rifle breaks in. All factory ammo so there "shouldn't" be any overpressure or brass issues.

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    After thoroughly cleaning the chamber of the rifle, I had no problems with 40 rounds of Prvi Partisan surplus ammo. I even put 20 rounds of the XM193C through it with no issues, but that's not necessarily conclusive. Still working the issue where something is scraping the case head slightly...

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    I'll try for some pictures. I am terrible at close-ups. Wish I had kept a normal round to compare.

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    Might be easier to measure the primer hole than find another one to pop in there, unless I can pull those out with a tool. I am making a parts order so I'll grab a bullet puller or something. I need some calipers too, I've been procrastinating on those for a long time. If there is a small...

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    Do you not think it's the issue just because you think it's something else? How would you check typical causes of a low pressure problem in a gun (assuming for a moment that it's not the ammo)? Left a message with Federal tech support about this lot number. Also emailed CMMG for their...

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    Two thousands might be just a bit too much. I think the military go gauge is 1.4646 or one thousandth longer. I actually want it to close on the 1.4646 I believe.

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    Primer pocket looks okay, just a little powder residue. The head does not look flattened but there is a slight unevenness as if the extractor ripped the rim out too hard. You can see a bit of warping on the head stamp at the same place. Maybe a hint of similar warping directly opposite on the...

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    Yeah CMMG clearly advertises as 5.56 but who knows if they're actually made right.

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    Looks like it was the ammo. Happened again within 20 rounds at a 3-gun match. Jammed the gun up significantly, we had to tap the bolt forward a tad with a socket wrench extension. Used someone's reloads for the next stage, 40 rounds flawless.

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    Hmm, something to do with the mid-length gas system, perhaps? I'm not sure how to check this. It's 5.56 by the way.

    Primers popping out, could it be the gun?

    Just tried out my CMMG mid-length gas 16" AR-15. Put the lower together myself with a JP trigger. Plopped the upper on there after a little bit of lubrication (but I didn't do a whole lot since I'm new to these rifles). I was shooting some American Eagle Tactical XM193, all I could find locally...

    Disconnector drag on JP single stage trigger

    Assembling my first AR-15 lower and have a quick question on disconnector timing with my JP single stage trigger (they are off for the break, unfortunately). I have it to the point where the disconnector releases just at the end of trigger release. With my finger completely off the trigger, I...

    When will SCOTUS vote on DC vs. Heller?

    That Findlaw blurb is not completely accurate. The Justices must text YAY or NAY to 83267 on their Sprint/Nextel phones in order to vote.

    The Heller Oral Argument Headcount

    A little too much wonkiness for me today, so I'm going to lighten the mood and call 11-0 with Harriet Miers writing the majority opinion.

    Heller Oral Arguments Discussion

    And here I was all ready to drill out some sears and shoot at manatees from my car this afternoon. Guess I'll have to wait until June.

    Heller Oral Arguments Discussion

    Just a quick question about the Supreme Court sine I don't follow it -- is there any chance to tune the Justices in to the possibility that their idealogical narratives are wrong, or that they are asking the "wrong question?"

    Guns for Ice Cream

    Personally, I want all thugs, criminals, and gang members to "aim" just like little kids do when they play with toy guns.
