I’d suspect barrel obstruction too… squib round prior to the fte malfunction maybe?

Would also explain the fte/double feed.

Edit: and just to confirm, there’s no way a 300BLK round got mixed in, right? That looks a lot like guns I’ve seen where a 300BLK round was jammed into a 5.56 chamber when they grabbed the wrong magazine.

There’s a reason I use completely different mags for different calibers on my ARs; have several uppers chambered in different calibers, and need to put as many safety mechanisms as possible in place, especially if we’re doing a range session with multiple calibers

Normally make it a point to only take one caliber out at a time, even for the other people I’m shooting with, but we sometimes have different uppers to sight in after a re-barrel, or a new optic, etc. For my group we use:

.223/5.56 gets Magpul and GI mags

300BLK is only loaded into Lancer mags that are also clearly marked as 300BLK…can feel the difference at night too when out shooting pigs on NVGs/thermal

450BM and 6.8 SPC both have mags unique to their round, I’m pretty much the only person in my group that ever shoots these calibers though, so not as big of a concern as 5.56 vs. 300BLK.

We do much of this at our monthly shoots. ( minus the meal.) Whatever the course of fire of the day, shooters score for themselves and or get help from a friend. It works pretty well to keep the stress down and the newbies coming but I had to admit that we've lost some of the more skilled shooters who want a fixed format that runs to a national/CMP/NRA standard. It's the difference between folks that just want to shoot and folks that want/need to compete.

Outside of densely populated areas, I find the nationally competitive shooters quite rare. There are lot more interested amateurs. It’s cool to cater to the true cronics, but they don’t pay most of the bills.

Take a can of canned air, turn it upside down and get that brass ice cold. It will slide right out.

Ill take this per our PM!

Received.. thank you Frank for making this happen!!!

Just FYI, you know I have top-end glass... But I run those Ziess V4's on almost all of my hunting rifles. It's the best glass in its price range, and it's lightweight, and reliable. I've never had a single issue with any Zeiss scope, and been running Zeiss' for almost 25 years, and had over a dozen of them from all different models. They are built in Japan @ LOW (according to a Zeiss rep I talked to), just like their big brother, the V6 model. They are good scopes.

I just got an Zeiss LRP S3 6-36 and I have been super impressed with the quality of the optic. It’s the first Zeiss I’ve owned and it’s incredible so far.

Sport killing....now where have I heard this before?

Ok. Took a couple quick shots. I made sure to drill a hole in the top too so I can still access the set screw.

@B Man

My dislike for PC/Pro Series stuff is because they aren’t a good value proposition. Deceptive marketing to garner higher price points. Mechanically all S&W products are the same. They differ cosmetically. All require aome finishing work to get them to run efficiently for gun games. They’re ok for field work, but experienced shooter will tune them up anyway. As @WeeHooker noted, clocked barrels are a common complaint on the wheel guns because of poor QC and not spending enough tine on in-service training for the workforce. In short, poor management.

If you like the Victory better then buy it because you’ll be happiest with what you want. Just understand that you’ll have to tune it up a bit. Tandemkross parts are pretty good for drop in tune ups. If you have moderate mechanical skill and a few tools you can do great work in your den or garage workbench. Blowback 22’s aren’t difficult to work on (except the Colt Woodsman and other old pistols that are hard to source springs and small parts).

The Buckmarks are fine too. Do a trigger spring swap and run it like a scalded dog.

From what you have seen there is no loss of accuracy with the Vision buck marks have a small steel liner barrel?

have had the opposite issue with some loads that have bullet yaw at shorter ranges.

Now THAT'S a badass rig. I just bought my youngest son a car for graduating in Mechanical Engineering in 4 years and keeping his scholarship all 4 years. I bet it was about the same or less than that..

Thank you for the reply in kind.

I was unaware of a "prayer request thread." I'll look for it, unless you got a link handy?

Thanks again. John 10:10

I understand but a life with the right one, is heaven on earth. While have self pity party's on certain dates, I also have 39 years of memory's & photographs that remind me how lucky I was, for all those years,...

I can appreciate that. for most of my life I was way too angry and violent to have a life with anyone. How I survived surprised me.

Now that I've worked out most of that anger, I just dont want to be bothered with someone else's baggage, I have enough trouble putting up with my own. LOL

Any of you ninjas in the Phoenix area have a R700 TacOps? I wanted to check it out and maybe shoot it just to shoot it. I’d let you shoot a KMW-OPS 51 in exchange.

These really are awesome rifles and I can’t afford to collect them all. I blew my wad on a lifetime supply of ammo and XL Condoms.

If you come down to Tucson area I would be happy to let you shoot mine.

I have an R700 X-Ray 51.
