got my SR15!
- Thread starter Slavex
- Start date
Why do you lie about things like that?
I'm a cop, why would I do anything nice for a gun owner......
What happened to being a nice guy?
Maybe you should just announce a time you'll be at <snip> and then charge folks to shoot it there

I for one would gladly pay for ammo, it's an SR25!

You must have me confused with someone else....
Years of remedial sensitivity training are preventing me from expressing how ripped off I really feel but then again I guess you can only afford to loose one knights rifle...
After all if you were here to inspect your 15 with a blue light you wouldn't want it back after seeing how much vampire dna is on it.
I hear Slavex is bathing with it
Yeah but note this, it wasn't bad enought that he went back to his colt and I hear those things aren't bad either
OK, so range report update (and I'm sure someone will have pics to me soon, ahem, Misanthropist).
I received the nice and clean rifle from WP late last week, and only got the one day to test it out before the course. It ran great. However, once on the course I experienced a total of 18 failures to feed, and one failure to extract. All ammo was Winchester white box 55gr. Initial thoughts were that the training mags (Pmags) I was borrowing from an agency attendee may have had weak springs after years of hard use in their department. However all those mags functioned flawlessly in his rifle. Using new GI mags and new Pmags plus lubing the bolt/carrier group seemed to fix things up Wednesday night for the night shoot.
A wipe down when I got home and relube plus a good nights rest seemed to bring the demons back. Finally after shaking my head, having Hackathorn look at it, two AR5 armorers look at it, I yanked the buffer and spring, dry as a bone with carbon flakes all over. wiped clean, lubed, and the rifle ran ####ing perfect from there out. I will admit, I'm not an AR SME, but that seems to have been the issue all along. Obviously I should have looked at that spot near the start of the diagnose stage. But the mags seemed to be the culprit day one, and as I mentioned, outside my normal scope of expertise. That's changing.
So end result? WP, your gun runs perfect now, and One Shot, no worries, I still want one I like it that much. I will however make sure the ####ing spring is lubed when I get!
KevinB, or anyone else, how much of an idiot am I for not looking at the buffer spring right off the bat? Cuz I don't think my Colt has ever been lubed outside of the original factory assembly?

With a guy that has his own personal icon like this...
You figure lube is not an option!
But a requirement.
Oh ya White Lithium grease the spring buffer and add high heat wheel grease to the area shown in the pic below.
L stands for lube and G stands for grease.
(*If your firing pin is chromed NO OIL*)
AND ALWAYS CARRY A BOTTLE OF CLP!
Especaily when dumping more mags than a computer comando's wet dream.

I do have some shots of you shooting it...and an equal number of shots of you clearing malfs.
L stands for lube and G stands for grease.
Or you can read your picture and actually figure out what L and G stand for.
#### reading, let's assume #### without thinking
