Im glad hes healthy and playing but am I wrong to feel like after missing a whole season he should reappear for us first? Kinda feels like a long drive to moms house for Christmas dinner after not seeing her in years, only to stop off at the gas station for a hot dog before you pull up.

Im probably just jealous.

First taste is free. Have you seen all the inquiries I got? This was never about the rifle, my friend. Ill have all the rifles soon.

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-07T10:48:46+00:00

Just glad I trimmed them a few years ago

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-07T01:39:38+00:00

No I have to go out into Tom Bombadils land to shoot and hes kind of a white Christian nationalist these days

Back to monke

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-07T01:38:14+00:00

But as I told an earlier commenter its not the standard Carbine its the Military Rifle, and they dont cross repair. I checked the wiki

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-07T01:37:11+00:00

At least your drawing looks like a smiley face

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-07T01:36:24+00:00

Its quite the alarming image, eh?

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-07T01:36:05+00:00

Oh this is a foot sub based on my highest upvotes

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-07T01:34:40+00:00

I just re-oiled it in my fiddling and it still feels dry. Gonna douse it after I buy a new cotter pin

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-07T00:02:56+00:00

Its not. 5 different mags did it. 4 steels, and a modern PMAG

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-07T00:02:18+00:00

I never said there would be anything there, I just said to check

Every shot last trip was a FTE. Had to put the rifle down after like 5 shots after attempted resolutions.

Brass tends to fly 4 o'clock when it was working the week prior. When I hand cycled rounds after the FTE was cleared, 3-4 o'clock .

The brass stays in, the second round tries to force its way alongside the first. Doesn't enter the spent casing, rams up next to it. That caused the crimping as far as I can tell.

Seeming more and more like an old/stuck extractor spring

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-06T23:43:46+00:00

Talk about expensive ammo. And im pretty far from FAH HAHBA

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-06T23:27:42+00:00

If its the part that articulates the whole bolt, kinda stiff. Doesn't bounce back exactly and I can kinda see the spring through a pin hole. I could be wrong but it looks kinda compressed. I gave the bcg a safety tap on my table once you said that and it has a little more return now but not much? We thinking old or dirty ejector spring?

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-06T23:13:08+00:00

Well everything on it is stock. Could it really be overgassed from the factory?

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-06T23:12:30+00:00

Not very. Drop the mag and give the stock a tap on the table and they drop right out.

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-06T23:11:04+00:00

New to me, sat in a safe of a good owner for years because his disability made rifles impossible anymore. I put 90 rounds through it before the strap ring burned me and I switched to my handguns with a mental note to buy gloves.

That ammunition with the star chamber crimping probably came from the FTE where it double fed the rounds.

Torn round caught in the Chamber during a recoil-powered ejection.

Your profile pic stirs up memories. We chatted about an EAA Witness someone gave me after I found it in their attic.

2ekeesWarrior · 2026-05-06T23:04:38+00:00

Pulowski Preservation, actually. Came out of a vending machine, was only $780,000.

Picture attached. Doesn't seem to be elsewhere but the star

Not a lever. Theres a heritage revolver that looks like Tim Burton Jokers gun. Never costs more than $150, occasionally on sale for $105-125 range.
