The CZickness XL To remember a friend.

Check your 3 gas rings, church. If one or two of the cuts in the rings are lined up, it allows too much gas just to blow by. make sure the openings are at 3rd interveles.

Thats on the list.

Morning peoples

No purchases made yet, not for lack of trying though, more like lack of energy.

I set up a deal for the CZ that Reed sent the link for.

Damnit now I have to buy some glass.

I hate you guys right now.

 

[Benp]

I've purchased a holster so far, but that is all.

For the intended use, you don't need anything super high end IMO.

That Hawke that you bought from me would work well for that gun

Heard a little thunder this AM but no apparent damage. Was up until 0200 watching "Cypher" with Barb and her sore throat so just about 1/2 way done with my coffee. Just started raining steadily so no mowing today. Good day to clean guns.

Respectfully, that's actually just a myth and has no effect on cycling or function whatsoever. Those rings will rotate around during cycling to whatever position they want to. They aren't like piston rings in an internal combustion engine (where the clocking matters).

Hey Carlos, beg to differ with ya!!!! After sending thousands of rounds on the government's nickel, those rings were the main culprit in the FN I had in basic and some of the M-4s we had in Iraq. If the rings were tight and spaced, NO issues. The one I had in basic was loose as a goose. After 1 to 2 mags of burst, it would jam every burst. Drill sergeant "knew" about my rifle, but it was during the Clinton years, so he said "no money for important krap, money was for interns in the 'Oral Office'....." I'd pull it apart and the 3 notches would be inline every time. It was ok on semi, didn't seem to jar them as bad. In Iraq, it was more of the rifle not "breathing properly". The little hole on the end of the buffer tube would get plugged from the wonderful environment we were in, not allowing enough gas to escape. Extra firing pins worked well for us- fit that hole in a pinch.

Sorry to hear Barb is feeling unwell. I hope that she feels better soon!

Going to be putting some rifles, scopes, and some pieces parts in classys but wanted to give you gents first dibs if anyone would be interested.

Sig Sauer MCX Virtus Patrol gen2 fde - anib and never fired.

Remington 40XB 22lr US stamped 22lr trainer heavy barrel - bolt and serial numbers match - wood has two dents from safe packing, can easily be steamed out but otherwise wood is in great condition - all steal is in good shape also - all original

Unertl 20× target w/ Unertl mounts - fine crosshairs - calibrated head - has both end caps - in great condition.

Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16×44 ffp ebr2c reticle - have box and all factory docs - as new condition- been sitting on a rifle that hasn't been shot - been sitting in safe since new and never been used.

There's more but those are the major players. Have rings and other stuff and will be able to give specifics once I dig it all out.

Just wanted to give a heads up if anyone would be interested. Shoot me a pm and we can discuss.

Forgot to mention a Vortex StrikeEagle 1-8 w/ Vortex mount and a Vortex SparcAR gen1 also.

I have not yet bought it from you. I am only holding it until I do.....

 

[churchmouse]

I will pick the CZ up on Sunday. I may have an optic or 2 that will fill this need.

My next issue is what ammo are you nut bags running.....

Hope Barb gets to feeling better soon. Was up til 230-3 with the storm, heavy winds and lots of lightning. Heard what seemed to be a few trees coming down around 2. Just did a investigative lap and there's a few trees on my neighbors property that came down. No other damage to report thank God. Atleast the power was back on when I rolled out of bed earlier.

I've used anything from CCI Standard, to Lapua CenterX. Thankfully, the Ruger likes Wolf Match Target and Annie likes that and SK Standard Plus. I'm happy to provide you a box of various match grade ammo for you to test with.

 

[bcannon]

I've used CCI, SK, Eley, and I cant remember the others of the top of my heads as everything is still a little foggy. I would be happy to hook you up with some also if you'd like.

 

[churchmouse]

This is what I love about this group.
'
But I still hate you guys.....

 

[wtburnette]

Even easier to provide you some test ammo if you let me know when you can make it out to HHRP sometime to meet me and 88, or others...

So the fix was rotate the rings and that made the rifle run again? Sorry, but I call on that one. Worn out rings were more likely the culprit than the alignment of the notches. A military issued M4 is going to see way harder use than 99% of civilian owned semi-auto AR15's.

Church, rotate your rings and let us know. If I'm wrong, I'll buy you and Lee11b lunch, along with a formal apology in here.
