So do I.
An m14 not a norinco m305

So do I.
Well yes it does.
Example, American Eagle, made by federal is regarded as not suitable for semi autos. There are examples of this ammo blowing up in M1A and chinese M305's
Says not recommended for semi auto actions in their disclaimer on the company website
And I see Ardent posted he's using it in his LRB.... Scary

Thanks for the best chuckle I've had all afternoon, please see forum. Fortunately others have even taking care of the writing for me.
One you can PM, Dogleg on here. I'm sure he won't be shy the share his experience as he's no fan. The other I worked with, and next time we chat I'll mine whatever details I can, he doesn't handload. I don't bother collecting incident details as the guns are junk to start with, in my opinion. Kind of like collecting the reasons for alcoholism. Most just view it as a problem and don't bother chasing the excuses.

Yep and I'm 200 shy of a thousand rounds deep with it in semis, works just swell. In a long headspaced Chinese one? No thanks. Thin brass hasn't affected my 1.630'd M14s one iota, however.
You sound like those people who buy an ecoboost and then wonder when they have issues with their engines loosing power during passing because they fill up with regular.
So the manufacture of the ammunition specifies that it should not be used in an autoloading rifle and you ignore that specification and then go on to tell people how dangerous norc rifles are? You sir, clearly are not qualified to have an opinion on the matter if you cannot even follow simple instructions.
Funny, but I don't follow you on this one! You chuckle at the challenge for documented proof, followed by I don't bother collecting incident details because of my opinion. It would really help to gather the facts rather than supply hear-say. Maybe your right, maybe your wrong. Just the facts rather than conjecture would be nice.

Funny, somebody better tell American Rifleman you can't shoot AE in semis. Can somebody provide me with the quote from Federal saying AE can't be fired from a semi? Strangely it works perfectly for me and even groups very well out to 500 yards, had never realized I'm on borrowed time. I like to live dangerously, so perhaps I'll stick with the risky habit, wonder what will get me first the AE or old age? PS, I bought a 5L, thanks for the levity.

It's a bit like being asked for facts to support calling the sky blue. We are all reading the same forum, aren't we? Barrels splitting in two and launching down range, multiple bolt failures and one drew blood within the last month, full auto-ing again within the last month, a gas assembly / cylinder split in two again within the last month... It's all found here in this forum, writing it out a second time in quotes would seem a bit excessive. Even Chinese SKSs aren't experiencing a failure rate near the Chinese M14s.
And again, this is a thread by a guy, and for a guy, completely opposed to Chinese guns. This is not a thread they'll get love in, there are plenty of those in the forum still.

This is true and would likely make everyone happier. 
I do have a question I'd like your help with though Thomas as you're the only guy I've heard from with a reference from Federal on their AE being unsafe in semi autos. Where is this from, I mined their site and found nothing, yet. Something I'm actually interested in, academically and as a "user".

I got a crazy, light bulb in the head idea a few minutes ago.... Surprised no one thought of it already... But oddly enough.... If we just stop posting... This silly, way off the rails thread will slip into oblivion
HOLY CRAP BATMAN!, I only said that 50 posts ago!

The link was posted a few months back.
In all my years playing with guns, the ONLY two ammunition failures involving case neck separation was American eagle. One destroyed an SKS many years back. And one, though no damage to rifle, was in a norc receiver, genesco SA medium match chamber, GI bolt.
Anyhow, if we want to have the AE discussion, start a new thread, I'd be happy to have a gentlemans discussion on keepin folks safe
Just wanted to point out that two years ago, 45ACPKING checked my Norc's headspace and a number of others that night, and all of ours were bang on for proper specification. I remember he said that the excessive headspace in Norc M14's seemed to be a thing of the past.
Personally I'd love to own an LRB with a match stainless barrel...but that's a LOT of cash!
