What Could Cause Brass to get “stuck” on the bolt/extractor when manually cycling the action on 6 arc gas gun?

The below happened when I was at the range today and manually cycled the action to make sure there wasn’t a sticky bolt close/open. It closed and opened fine but when the cartridge got to the point where it should have shot out of the upper it didn’t and instead it just clung to the extractor claw. I had to pull it off by hand. It didn’t happen for every round in the mag but it did happen maybe 2-3 times out of 10. I checked and the ejector plunger moves freely/isn’t sticky. Mag being used was a duramag 6.5 gendel 10 round.

This is a rubber city armory bolt with sprinco 5 coil extractor spring (with insert but no o-ring) and sprinco ejector spring with only 100 rounds on them.

BPC-157 Anyone have any experience with this?

So, the aches and pains are catching up with me, but I still try to stay active. Weights, cardio, etc. I heard about this on Rogan and other places, and it seems like a miracle drug, which usually means it does nothing-at least for me. Now my social media is flooded with this crap since I've tried to research it, and it's more confusing now that before. I know the FDA has banned it or is going to, but that doesn't really carry much water. I've heard too that some sporting associations have also banned it, which to me means it might work (lol)
Does anyone have experience with this stuff? What's a good place to get it? I don't what to buy some stuff and end up getting tape worms or something

First KRG Bravo

I was planning on ordering from Mcmillan but the 8 month wait was a no-go for me.

So, I ordered my first KRG Bravo lefty. I was suprised to discover that the thumb screw for the cheek riser is not flipped to the left side. It forces the user to go at least 1.25"to prevent the thumb screw from stabbing your face. It seems kinda silly for them not to move it.

I also had to add a relief cut to the picatinney rail in the front as the covered forend would not fit under it.

Lasty, I had to relief cut the inside of the trigger well so that the safety would not rub. All in all nothing hard and explains why they are so much less expensive. I have yet to shoot with it since I am awaiting a couple more pieces.

KCSO Deputy in Critical Condition after armed suspect hits him in head with brick or rock

This is just one example of the kind of thing that makes LawEnf work so dangerous compared to almost all other careers... Of course, people with sociopathic personality traits will still have contempt for LE even after viewing this.

A Knox County S.O. Tenn. Deputy is/was on a ventilator in critical condition after a nighttime call about shots fired in the woods behind some homes in Tennessee...

KCSO Deputy Austin Swanger and at least two to three other deputies heard the suspect but couldn't see him because of vegetation, and after entering the woods, Deputy Swanger was struck hard in the head with a brick or rock.

By coincidence, part of it was caught on camera because the Deputies were being filmed by a TV show called "On Patrol: Live".

Firearms WTS - Accuracy International AI AT folding thumbhole compete rifle in Pale Brown w/ 6.5CM AI Pale Brown barrel, small firing pin, excellent condition

I'm selling a safe queen, 2016 Accuracy International AI AT folding thumbhole compete rifle in Pale Brown w/ 6.5CM AI Pale Brown barrel, small firing pin, excellent condition.

$4499 shipped and insured

It has under 500 rounds on it. I'm the second owner and purchased with 180 documented rounds on it. I have 250 documented rounds (I reload), but may have fired a box or two of factory ammo through it, I can't remember.

I've always slow fired a mild load through it of 41.0gr of H4350 with Berger 140 target bullets so the barrel is barely breaking in.

I upgraded the top optic rail to be the lower version. Most medium-height scope rings will get this to a perfect height. It does not include a high rail or NV bridge.

It has a brand new AI thumbhole stock in pale brown that I literally just installed today. It also includes the standard factory grip. The folding mechanism works like a bank vault - zero slop.

Overall, it's in excellent condition with very few signs of use. The barrel cerakote has a few minor marks, the skins are in excellent shape and it has an almost new buttpad that I replaced last year. I also installed an additional factory buttstock spacer, it should fit most people nicely.

It's an absolute laser, 1/3 MOA if I do my part with 5 round groups. The only reason I'm selling is that I purchased an AXSA.

It includes the following:
  • AI AT rifle w/ 6.5 CM AI factory cerakoted Pale Brown barrel with thread protector (these are Bartlien, I believe) with under 500 rounds on the rifle and barrel
  • Installed low height Picatinny rail
  • Installed new factory AI thumbhole stock in Pale Brown
  • Take-off standard grip in Pale Brown
  • 1x AI AT 10 round magazine
  • 1x Extra buttstock spacer

I will only ship directly to your FFL and they must accept transfers from an individual. I will only accept Zelle, a bank wire, or a personal check with adequate time to clear. I'm happy to hop on a video call with a buyer. I will not ship anywhere that this rifle is not allowed or that requires special accommodations to ship. Prices are in CONUS. Please contact me for additional shipping to Alaska. This will ship fully insured with signature required to your FFL. I will pack it exceptionally well.

New integrated bridge Spuhr ring cap

Noticed this while perusing the Spuhr site:

1751566463828.png


Comes in 34mm, 35mm, and two versions of 36mm (reg and high). Pretty spendy, but no surprise there lol.

I know all about the cracking issues some are having with Spuhr. But I thought this would be of some interest as their current bridge add-on rails don’t attach as positively as Area 419 and especially ARC Mbrace (don’t know about other brands).

And yes, I’m aware that some people are having ring cracking issues with the Mbrace too.

I just realized something you all been asking for

Everyone always asks me to bring the Chat box back, and unfortunately it’s not something I would revisit in the forum unless it was secure and seamless which none of them are.

But on the Home page, the Hide TV page, the videos have a chat function as part of the video platform.

When Chris and I are live, we can see certain platforms when people ask questions. So a chat function is pretty common and TheHide.TV video have a comment feature that is chat based .

So while not the forum there is an option

Actor Michael Madsen Dead at 67

Rest in peace, tough guy. Condolences to his family and friends.

Quentin Tarantino's favorite character actor Michael Madsen is dead from cardiac arrest at the age of 67. In heaven or hell, he'll be partying with his buddy Tom Sizemore.

No Fee for Surppressors or short barrell rifles

Now the the bill has passed that eliminates the 200 dollar fee for suppression p rs and short barrel rifles, they are now to be treated like regular fire arms sale, my question now, does this mean you don't have to send application in to atf for approval or does the dealer treat the sale as a regular background check and do we need to retain the stamps for the ones we have now, id like some clarification if someone knows

WARNING on Freedom Munitions .308Win 168gr A-Max

I bought 1000 rds of this ammo at the tail end of Covid (because who knew what was coming), and selectively shot it in a Ruger RPR and Christensen MPR, and had several primers blow out and get stuck in the bolt face. Not a huge problem in a bolt gun. But then I shot this ammo through my Ruger SFAR and also Ruger SR-762, and this is when I realized this ammo is truly defective and unacceptable. The primer blow-outs continued, and led to primers getting stuck between the BCG and upper, requiring me to use brass punches to hammer the BCG out and clear the problem. Upon deep cleaning, some pieces of primer had even made it into the firing pin opening, jamming the firing pin (this also happened with the Christensen).
I contacted Freedom and send pictures of several of the shells with blown out primers, and also of the 720 remaining rounds, and allowed for several days for some sort of action from Freedom, to replace the ammo, but no joy; hence this warning to others.

Convicted Sex Offender works for Minn. Dept. of Education

For those who live in Minnesota, how do you feel about this Kenyan National and convicted sex offender working for the Minnesota Department of Education?!

In 2016 he pled guilty to Sex Assault in exchange for them dropping the burglary charge for breaking into a woman's home and sexually assaulting her. He was also accused of a similar crime in 2012.

Only in Timpon Walz' Minnesota or similar blue state could this happen.
