    Any rifle experts out there that could help me with a couple of ?

    While screws & bolts only have a head on one side, they hold the part from the head side and the nut/receptacle side. It's impossible for a fastener to hold a part only on one side. Rivits only hold the part in one direction- Shear. Rivits have poor tension resistance. Tension head screws &...

  3. need help assembling my first ar

    A vise is needed to hold the upper while tightening the barrel nut. It also makes assembling the lower easier. The Knipex is an excellent tool for pressing in pins, especially the trigger guard pin

    Formbys and American Black Walnut

    That wood is gorgeous! Is that the stock the 512 came with from the factory?

  5. Ar pistol stove piping... Heavy buffer time?

    A heavy buffer may stop your AR from stove piping for now, but it won't fix the problem. Stove piping is an extraction or ejection problem. A weak extraction spring is the most likely culprit, so installing the Colt spring you ordered is the best thing to do. It's also possible the extractor is...

    Yes! Knipex

  7. Protective Cap for KAK Shockwave Brace

    A company called IC13 is working on a protective end cap got the KAK Shockwave. They are waiting for BATF approval before releasing it. The cap is designed to plug the end to keep out debris and to protect the fin in case the pistol is dropped. I like the looks of it...

  8. Question for ar experts

    Brass cases are easier to extract, so they are easier on your extractor spring. Extractor springs don't fail all at once. They fail a little bit over time and once they start failing, they don't get better. It's just a matter of time before your problem comes back, even if you break in your AR...

  9. Question for ar experts

    If you are having true double feeds- two live rounds in the action- you have a bad magazine. If you mean you are getting an empty and a live round stuck in your action, you have a problem with your extractor spring. Replace the extractor spring with a Colt extractor spring

    Before spending money on any trigger, remove what you've got, clean it, grease it up and reinstall it. That should be a noticeable improvement over what you've got now

  11. Whats up with battle worn finsish?

    Wasn't trying to "get you". I was simply using humor to make a point. I agree that anyone can do anything they want to their firearms. It's just that artificial "battle wear" is not interesting. Some of the guys on another forum apply the "battle field pick up" look to the battle rifles they so...

  13. Whats up with battle worn finsish?

    I have a Winchester I inherited from my grandfather. When he was a young man, he bought it at an estate sale almost a hundred years ago. The rifle had a hole crudely drilled through the buttstock where it was hung from a peg on the wall of a rancher's line shack, the bluing has long since turned...

  15. Whats up with battle worn finsish?

    I didn't say it's the same as stolen valor, I said it's as fake as. A well persevered safe queen with a pristine finish is far more interesting than a firearm that's been roughed up with steel wool and a bleach solution on a leisurely Saturday afternoon while sitting in a comfortable easy chair...

    What is your input on this.

    The three round burst FCG for the AR is poorly designed. If the shooter only fires one or two rounds in a burst, the FCG does not reset itself. The next burst will fire only two or one rounds. In semi auto, the trigger pull changes as the burst clutch rotates through its three different...

    What is your input on this.

    The Franklin Binary trigger does give you the option of not firing the second shot. Simply hold the trigger back and switch the selector to either it's safe position, or semi. Even so, does it really matter? When binary mode is selected, it's understood that the shooter intends to fire two...

  18. Whats up with battle worn finsish?

    Wear is earned. Each scuff, nick, gouge, dent is a memory, a story and are gained by hard won experience. The artificial "battle worn finish" is as fake as stolen valor
