Quick update, canada ammo is replacing upper! Not that I doubted them, it's nice to see these guys care that much about customers. Speaks volumes!
Hello all. I picked up a DA 50 upper, and before some of you state you got what was coming to you, I fully lowered my expectations on the finish and machining marks with the price point this was being offered at. I expected something like a norinco. Looks like crap but bullet proof and with out thinking about it, safe.
Saying that, I've purchased from Canada ammo before and have been very happy with the purchases. I guess chalk it up to being concerned a bit more with the larger round being chambered this time.
But upon receiving it and performing a tear down inspection and cleaning, I couldn't help but noticing some concerns. I have a few questions for others who have bought the upper.
1-Does your bolt lock up tight, or does it have some forward/backward slop? I have about 3-4mm travel or slop without a round in the chamber (I haven't received the ammo I ordered yet). Is this normal?
2-Does your upper look like its been fired? Mine does, curious if its from the proof testing, a returned firearm which I don't believe it would be, or a initial tested upper? I have brass marks on the bolt face along with a purple ring, which I'm assuming is from the primer sealer. But looking over the upper, I cant find any proof marks striked. Any one else see this on their upper?
3-Where the barrel shroud bolts onto the receiver, on the top and bottom with the two allen key cap screws, my receiver is dimpled from the ends of the cap screws or almost machined through the bolt channel. I know its not in the chamber where the pressures would cause concern, but I'm wondering what the hell this means for a safety factor. Does anyone else have these marks?
I have no idea how to post pics up here, but if someone can enlighten me, I'm willing to learn!
