I loaded up a mag with factory steel rounds, Wolf to be exact, and the bolt carrier slammed home no problem. Yes I was using handloads made just for this rifle, just didn't realize how finicky it could be. I've ordered some virgin brass cases and will fire form them to this rifle. My once fired brass will have to be gone through and rechecked to insure it is in spec and my loaded rounds will be pulled and reprocessed. My only waste is time and worry at this point. It's for damn sure not an AK. Thank you, gentlemen, very much for the information and guidance.

Nothing in this life is free, somebody had to pay for it.

I had not thought of that, obviously. I will check that out. I hope its that easy. Thank you gents!

I have a question for the AR experts. First off I'm an AK guy, its simple, rugged and reliable. I have ventured into the AR realm and have run into something troubling that I can't figure out. I took in an AR in trade, Aero Precision, and it cycled by hand, unloaded just fine. Nice buffer tension, snappy detents and the bolt went home with a satisfying thunk. I loaded up a magazine, inserted , pulled the charging handle, released and....... the carrier would not go into battery. I pushed the forward assist and it went in with some effort. I decided to check it. The issue arose when I tried to eject the live round by hand. It was stuck. I had to remove the upper and pry the bolt carrier to the rear. It was jammed in good. The bolt lugs would not rotate unless I physically pried the carrier back...it ejected out on its own. I almost took a rubber mallet to the charging handle to get the carrier to move, that's how stuck it was. The rifle is pristine, no fouling or wear marks, that's the reason I accepted it in trade. Is it a headspace issue? Does it need a break in period? I have not fired it because of the forward assist being used on the first fed round. I know is sounds silly but I'm paranoid with any weapon that I'm not familiar with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Should have gone to Barnett's http://www.barnettsguns.com/

He is at rest, may his family and friends be at peace.

I'm in and LARGE

I'm in. Medium

Thank you for your service! Both to our country and our Heavenly Father.

SMAUG waiting for Bilbo......preciousssssss

This is the conundrum with my BIL. The ever fluctuating rules of the ATF. My point was, as Rizzo stated, the lower receiver must go through a FFL, online or in person. My BIL lives in Tennessee now but he is not Southern. I plan on taking him to Bud's and let those gents "educate" him and the to the Knoxville show this weekend. You can lead a horse to water... but it says nothing about a jask*ss. Thank you, gentleman for your responses. Now to get that $50 from him.

When home building an AR rifle, which part must go through an FFL when bought online? A) the upper receiver B) the lower receiver C) Both D) Neither I have $50 riding on the answer with my smart *ss brother in law. I need an unbiased answer and reason for the FFL transfer to satisfy him and take his money. A proof source would be helpful as well. Thank you gents.

Between the First and Second Horsemen

Oh I want one! The restoration must be costing a mint though.....

Took the wife Saturday afternoon, $12 apiece to get in, a few vendors, very few traders except for the Nazi memorabilia and China knives. We haven't been to a gun show in years and won't be going back anytime soon. Lots of surplus. rusted crap too. meh.....

It's too cold in Wisconsin in the winter to be protesting over something you're getting bussed in and paid for......just sayin

Give her time and kindness, she will come around. Her past is unknown to you and her future is unknown to her. Be patient and consistent and her trust in you show itself. Her actions, as you have described, are her way of checking you out since you don't know what kind of damage an inbred, brain dead, idjit has done to her. You have the beginnings of a wonderful partnership in her. God sent you a blessing in fur!

Years ago I had a Taurus 455 wheel gun in .45ACP That thing would never get through a full cylinder before locking up. I do like the .45 ACP in a wheel gun, nice novelty, but that Taurus never worked correctly. My gunsmith bought it off me and worked on it then "lost it overboard" on a fishing trip. He no longer works on Taurus at all.

Very pro gun....

Metal and wood, you know it's good.

Seasoned with time and experience. Salt and pepper just stayed on my hair, as far as the Cajun... let's just say that only appears when required. I may be a dinosaur but I'm not a fossil yet. Good going Bob.!
