I have always wondered what sort of person would do this to a rifle...now I just want to meet Bradaz to find out :p
haha, thanks ( i think). Unfortunately the paint job isn't my doing, that is the young lady who previously owned it.

only other 7.3 shooters, employees of the range, or Sec 5 dealers with permission for the class of firearm.

I have experience of a CMMG broken firing pin issue too
So do I now, not sure it had sent more than 1,000 rounds on their way before deciding it was too cold today, and the thin bit that hits the round broke off and went who knows where. Annoying as it buggered up my morning's shooting. Have submitted a request for replacement, but quite like the idea of a titanium one at some point.

Mine go every 5-7000 rounds in my CMMG. I’ve got a guiselle SSA-E in it which might not be helping.

It's great when an organisation sorts out problems with no fuss, p*** about or general embuggerance. So award of the day to Lantac for sending a new firing pin that arrived this morning. Thanks and well done.

Also a commendation for OpticsWarehouse for doing a seamless and painless swap after I had a problem with a scope I got from them, the problem was not their fault either.

Good customer service is worth paying for. BT take note you useless shower.

Yep that's what I meant, I heard a German company makes it but like you said don't know any one who stocks it?

I used some years ago, lots of years ago! I was a teenager but I don’t have a clue if you can still get it. I will be looking when I st home though. Great teaching aid to show the kids what actually happens to the bullets in flight.

Try some CCI AR Tactical. Supposedly it was developed for rimfire ARs generally and the S&W specifically. I find it’s reliable and accurate, with not quite the snappiness of Mini-mag. It still runs like a sewing machine in mine even if it hasn’t been cleaned for a 1000 rounds.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
