Kentucky Smith or iamkris
(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
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...).
