I have one of the AS lowers on order and Im waiting for the next order window for the arc fire to open. Probably leave the cross bolt super safety in the MP5 and run the arc in an AR. AS Design seems to make some stuff.

Now turn off the audio and watch the last half of that.

Picture that deranged Karen Einstein sitting across from the counter every morning while you're trying to eat breakfast. She is ranting and waving her hands about 300 things you have done wrong and at least half of those things supposedly happened like 30 years ago.

Before you dig into your awesome food that God graced us with this Thanksgiving, be very thankful that this crazy eyed bitch isn't under the same roof as you.

Can the OP post some photos of the fired case bodies ?

Looking for signs of a rough chamber.

I think they are all full of shit.

On infil the rifle was disassembled and on exfil it was fully assembled. Given the surveillance photos upon arrival and the surveillance videos on exit I think this is a reasonable conclusion. Robinson’s contacts and influences is where you should be focusing.

That vid clips looks like a modern version of the pagan and satanic scenes you would've seen in old movies like the Ten Commandments, etc.

At least to my tiny brain, it is a snapshot of a group of people that have totally and 100% wondered down the path of evil while still convinced they are getting it right.

More than one Old Testament account describes entire cities and territories just like the people in this video being destroyed by God because they had become so morally corrupt and evil.

I'm kinda going through this and have a question. Typically a tight chamber will get worse over time as carbon builds? It won't get better as it gets "worn in" right? I got a 6cm prefit for a kids hunting rifle build. Wanted to shoot factory ammo Black 105 BTHP and 108 ELDM as I don't reload. Barrel headspaced fine so I cycled the 105s through it but it seemed very tight when trying to close the bolt and they cycled very poorly. I could see rifling marks on the extracted bullets. I had two lots of 108s that cycled through it too. One lot cycled better than the other, still not great but better than the 105s. both lots didn't have rifling marks but had marring on the bullets similar to others are posting. I finally got to the range and they shot and cycled not ideal. Nothing got stuck but if I wasn't super deliberate and firm with the bolt though it wouldn't feed great. Not ideal for a kids gun or hunting rifle. Wind was blowing 20+ so wasn't able to get true idea for precision but it seemed acceptable. I'm assuming somethings undersized though and think it will get worse with more carbon so I should probably send it back. your thoughts?

Well you bring up another variable that I didn't think of at the time.

Being box ammo.... they can or do have a seating tolerance on overall length. So it's entirely possible if some rounds the bullets are seated a little longer could be touching the rifling as well. I'm assuming this is all box Hornady ammo? If so I don't know they're tolerance on seating o.a.l. of the rounds but know one spec for 300WM (not Hornady ammo or Hornady spec. so don't think that's what I'm saying here) has a tolerance of +/-.050". That's a pretty big range

What spec reamer was used to cut your chamber? Saami min spec.... or some custom match spec.? I ask because this can affect seating depth and where the bullet might or might not touch the rifling.

How many times was the reamer used? The first thing that goes on a reamer is the throat... even if you using a roughing reamer the finish reamer the throat area is cutting all the time and as it wears the throat diameter will typically cut undersize even if it appears to but cutting cleanly.

Saami min spec reamers for 6CM is suppose to cut the throat at a .2435" diameter.

Which brings us back to... what is the bullet diameters you have and overall seating length?

So you could have a compounding problem/issue... carbon build up, reamer spec, ammo spec. Follow me?

How are you cleaning it and with what and how often (in between number of rounds fired)?

Factory gun or custom build?

Right now more questions than answers.

If it's a custom build... I'd ask your gunsmith for a copy of his reamer print for the reamer he used to chamber the barrel... who made the reamer and as well as how many times has the reamer been used? Tell him what is going on and ask him about sending it back for him to look at if it was a custom build.

Also if a custom build...who made the barrel and to what spec was the bore made to? I ask this because if it's a tight bore spec barrel.... that could be adding to your issue and another variable.

OP, there's a fair amount of info missing here. Over the years, I've had a couple of dud cases appear in a new batch of top-tier brass, but it's highly unusual.

• First, you said you have heavy bolt lift, ostensibly with mild load - what does that mean? What caliber? Bullet? Powder charge? Primer?
• I just checked a new Alpha 6BR case - its head is slightly concave, with ~.001-.0015" showing under a straightedge next to primer pocket.
• "I have found... the shoulder to be .012 away from first firing." Are you saying the case grows in overall length on first firing, or just the shoulder? How are you measuring? In my experience, a .012" shoulder movement on first firing is a lot. I find my new brass to typically be "short" at the shoulder by ~.003-.004" from nominal center of SAAMI spec measured with a Wilson case gauge, and .002-.003" over center spec after first firing.

Beyond all that I agree with Oregun.

He probably has "some" help. No one believes his furry/trans lover had nothing to do with it. With all the violent leftist sites scrubbing all their content it's likely he was radicalized online and from his boyfriend (transfriend?). They said there were going to run every little tip and detail down, and for all the political bullshit of the FBI their field agents seem to be pretty good detectives. We'll see. If there's more who encouraged and cheered the assassin on I hope they get them too.

Cutting through all the BS
Years ago I worked as a best cop and everyday a crazy guy gave me a paper with all his crazy thoughts written in a spiral. Crazy as a man could be

Now these same guys write on net and are experts

Just because it’s posted on net does not make it fact

More shooter problems than scope zero shifts

Patel is reporting that Robinson’s DNA has been found on a screwdriver (they found on the roof) and the towel that they found with the rifle.
My guess is that the screwdriver was used to assemble the barreled action into the stock upon arrival on the roof.

Still open...

Still up with more added. OBO

Thanks. I missed that. So many different resolutions and cropped videos from all kinds of sources floating around.

I still find it suspicious how quickly Kirk's body was processed and put in a casket. Any other high profile murder victim would get a week long autopsy.

When my brother had a heart attack they didn’t investigate. I was doing CPR when EMS arrived.

When it is so obvious with thousands of eye witnesses, his family and staff right there, and everyone saw what happened and heard the shot, looked that way where the assassin was set up...it makes no sense to preform an autopsy so...what...conspiracy theorists on the internet can stop theorizing that everything is as it appears, and there's no illusion or ilumanati pulling the strings. Even if you did investigate it like a grand conspiracy it simply doesn't work. They just weave a fake autopsy into their theory (not like there hasn't been one).

It’s a mental affliction. Yes, there are plots and conspiracies, have been since the dawn of time. The palace has always been full of ambitious and cunning men (and women). Suspecting treachery is just wise and good business, but what we see with stuff like this isn't wise or good business. Like the guy who stakes out the Kirk was wearing body armor because of one snippet of video that looks different from all the rest, and he wants to be famous and lauded for proving he's right. Thinking everything is some grand conspiracy and having a one track mind isn't a good look. It makes people sound like unhinged idiots whose minds are so tunneled they can't see anything.

They are the exception to the rule, but they're not the rule. The rule is Occam’s Razor, and the simplest explanation is the most likely one. Not always, but most of the time. We see how when there's this much video evidence people use the worst examples to prove their points, not to understand, but to "win" on the internet like it was a courtroom and they were morally obligated to provide the best defense for an idea, even if it is a stupid one. I don't fucking get it, but I try to ignore it as best I can. You should too, because you don't want any part of it, or to adopt these biases that keep you from seeing the truth. Better to be open minded to both the objective truth, but to entertain alternate theories, because you never know...

This one is OR clearly. Those who are pushing other theories are clowning themselves. We don't know everything, but with this many witnesses, this much footage, this much internet evidence, and a live shooter we will eventually know the full story.

TTT

My answer is if you have a rifle that needs one, settle that first. Having said that, the Obsidians are nice, never an issue, easy to take apart and clean, etc. If for some reason you need a 3 lug-do not get the Rugged one, go KAW Valley.

Set screws vs thumb screws are the main thing I remember hearing.
