      my rifle blew up...

      I'm not looking for money. I would ideally like to be able to rebuild my rifle. If it's just dumb luck then so be it but if it's an ammo problem then Federal Premium needs to know so they can take action to recall the lot. I wasn't hurt but others might not be so lucky.

      my rifle blew up...

      So after getting it back from my gunsmith, he determined that it is unlikely that it was a mechanical failure. The primer was stuck in the barrel 1/4" behind the gas block, case still in the chamber and bolt lugs fully closed. It had to have been faulty ammo. I'll be sending the parts and...

      my rifle blew up...

      I think I am more worried about someone else getting hurt with ammo from this lot. Myself included since I have a few hundred rounds left over. If Federal can determine that there was some manufacturing issue, then hopefully they can recall the lot before someone gets killed. It could be that...

      my rifle blew up...

      Soonest i can get it to a gunsmith is Friday. The bolt is all the way forward and the cams are locked in place to the breech. I can't move the charging handle or bolt at all due to the damage. The rear take down pin is bent. I'm not about to start banging on it either. There is no visible damage...

      my rifle blew up...

      Day 2 of Fighting Rifle class and 2nd to last drill of the day i got a KA-BOOM instead of a pew. I was running Federal American Eagle AR556 XM193 all day. Probably just past the 1000 rd point. This was my custom built rifle that has seen at least 2-3k rounds over the last 2 years. Many different...

      Papa johns Plainfield not firearm friendly.

      Papa Johns in Valparaiso also just put up a no weapons sticker, has a knife and gun with a red cross through it. At least they don't discriminate against concealed knife holders LOL.

      Open Carrier in Wisconsin confronted by police forcing law change

      All i'm saying is let the law change on the books before you proceed to "celebrate". At that point, invite the public and local/county LEO and party on. A lot can change between now and then, and all it takes is a few bad press articles.

      Idiots In Action Almost Die

      I'm curious as to why there wasn't a walkway on the side of the tracks, like for emergencies or something. What if the engineer had to get out of the engine for some reason like if the train broke down on the bridge? I guess it might encourage people to trespass, i dunno.

      Mattress shopping is a PITA

      Has anyone ever called the numbers on the cardboard signs posted on lightpoles for $150 Queen pillowtop mattress sets? I swear that's gotta be code for some kinda drug deal or something. I figure they might even smuggle drugs in them, sew em back up and resell to people.

      Any you wonder why so many LEO's are fat asses.

      Most of the Chicago PD I see that patrol the Loop are fat as hell. It's amazing to me how that's acceptable.

      Open Carrier in Wisconsin confronted by police forcing law change

      I think this guy did a great service, but at the end of the news story they said they are going to go back this weekend to "celebrate". That seems like a step too far. Message was received and legal changes are in the works.

      Gun Safe Help Needed

      I think a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) would be more likely to take out an electronic safe lock than a deliberate EMP event. Looks like we had a real close call 2 years ago... Huge Solar Storm of 2012 Would Have Sparked Calamity on Earth Either way, mechanical lock is the only way i'd go.

      DOLOS AR15 Quick Detach system

      Not sure how practical it is, but pretty neat engineering. I wonder how it would hold up to any kind of torture test.

      Nickel boron BCGs - hype, or worth it?

      I have a Fail Zero in one of my ARs and it really is much easier to clean than a phosphate. You still gotta put a little elbow grease if you want them to stay shiny, even with FireClean. It came with the coated hammer too, but took that out as soon as i got a 2 stage trigger. I don't really...
