Wow, that looks like a nice range.

Thanks!

And that's just 1 of 4 on the property.

Is there an obstruction in the mag well?

Nope. I just tried to chamber a round and it loaded half way then got hung up. While I was looking at it the slide released and chambered the round. I am done messing with it. It's not safe.

 

[esrice]

db is the issue with just that mag? Or others as well? (sorry if you already covered this)

I agree, as long as you have other weapons available, it's best to send it back to the pros.

It does in that picture but in ral life it doesnt. I have one more pic to post but that can wait until after I eat my slightly burnt pork chops.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

do you have another mag other than that one? If so do you get the same kind of problem?

2 factory mags, does the same thing with both.

Hey Esrice or V8, got an AR question for you.

Gave my AR a deep cleaning for the first time today. Downloaded some instructions from the AR forum. Made a big deal that you always clean the barrel from the receiver end to flash suppressor, and never visa versa. Why??

Damn, why can't I have some nice property like that!?!?

Well Im out of ideas or suggestions. Probably a good idea to sideline it till Ruger can fix it.

You're pushing all the gunk out of the rifle, not into the where it eats. You don't poop where you eat, do you!?

 

[db1959]

Here's what it does to the bullet. It's officially sidelined. The XD9sc is now the one.

Sorry, missed this. 2 mags same results.

 

[db1959]

I want to thank every one who tried to help me and my Ruger. I appreciate it very much. That's one reason why this is a great group.

I saw a guy at the range today who was shooting a HI-POINT 995 with this red dot sight

NcSTAR Red Dot Sight - Tactical Red Dot With 4 Different Reticles / Black FREE S&H D4B. NcSTAR Red Dot Sights.

he got really pissed when it wouldn't zero

First, why are you cleaning your AR? Did you just run 2k rounds through it?

To answer your question-- 2 main reasons.

1. To avoid damaging the barrel crown, which can cause all kinds of accuracy issues.
2. To keep all the gunk from falling out of the barrel and into your receiver.

Damn, why can't I have some nice property like that!?!?

lovemywoods did it the old fashioned way. It included Rose-Hulman, a chemical engineering degree, and Eli Lilly.

I do it the new school way. I mooch off of lovemywoods.

But for that price you could have 10 of those with wandering zero instead of just 1 Aimpoint that actually works?!?

With the money for the gun and the sight you could probably buy a used one or start on a AR
