Nice to see your deleting post now, got something to hide?
Wow.. My post got nuked also...
My gun is already paid for anyways..as are all the others
My point of the post ..which obviously got missed
Was that if there is a glitch in these guns??? To not ship anymore ..
In other words ..fix the glitch before you ship
does anyone know if these can fire out of battery? i notice if you ease the bolt forward it sometimes doesn't go into battery but if you squeeze the trigger it will still click and the bolt will rotate and lock fully into battery. i know some guns can do this but have a mechanism which prevents the firing pin from protruding enough to detonate a primer if the bolt isnt fully forward.
Check out this video beginning at the 2:00 mark
Supposedly the same as the M4
thank you, that answered my question perfectly, and eliminated my theory that perhaps that handguard retaining ring blew out of that members shotgun because of an out of battery, but that video disproved that idea
what i did notice was at the 1:44 time mark, when the pistons hit the bolt carrier and the gun flexes as guns do under fire, you see the handguard, handguard ring, and receiver separate a tiny bit. im wondering maybe the member with the issue had a sticky case and that extra bit of resistance of the bolt carrier against the pistons created a just slightly larger gap than usual and caused the ring to dislodge, he did say when he disassembled the gun everything looked normal.
im just throwing ideas out there
Yikes. Mine is not as obvious. Some early QA issues? I'll report back once I've shot it lol

Is the front sight brazed on?
I called S&J but no answer. The gun just blew out it's handguard retainer or whatever it's called. I actually got it on video. Here is a pic since I dunno how to post videos. Needless to say I am done shooting this thing. I hope there is no grief over a straight refund. I have no interest in dealing with this.

i just noticed there is a ring at the base of the mag tube where it threads into the receiver, if that ring is backed off by a tiny bit the handguard retaining plate can swing out of the way like in your pic. its possible the ring loosened under recoil or whatever and under the flex and vibration of shooting the retaining plate dislodged
That is good though. And thatt could happen.
But we have stripped about 15 of these for cerakote.
Some of them have loc tite so strong that we had to take a gas torch to melt the loc tite. The heat gun did not touch it
And some had none at all..

ah, mine had absolutely no loktite at all, the ring is able to be loosened with finger strength alone. i might throw a dab of blue on there at some point just in case my theory was the reason, a dab of blue would go a long way to prevent it
