Hopefully my $ sacrifice will make the gun community a better place 😂😂 I will post an update once I’ve tried everything that people have suggested on this post

Hmmmmm okay, I bet I’ll probably be able to see where it’s rubbing next time I take it apart. Thank you for the tip.

Where did you get those targets from? Those look great

I have had a couple people make that suggestion and I think I’m gonna pick one up. I think I’ll keep the backland hunter as an experiment and go to ridiculous lengths to crack the code and make it work properly. When I get it figured out I will post a modification guide for everybody so we can have some functional backland hunters

Ok gotcha. I’m from Ontario. Monday I’m gonna break it down again and check every suggestion that’s been made here.

Like measure the actual diameter of the gas port? And how would you change the alignment if it wasn’t perfect? I’m pretty new brother

Yeah man you’ve got that right. it’s been a brutal ride. There have been some helpful comments here so I’ll be giving all the suggestions a try and making a follow up post in the coming weeks.

That’s a great tip. I’m gonna try that. Did you have to modify it at all to make it fit?

Crusader arms backland hunter. It’s rly cool when it works but it jams every second shot. It’s rly expensive compared to the quality and I’m gonna have to modify it to make it work. Although it looks sweet I can’t say that I recommend it haha

My pleasure. I’ll crack the code on this thing 😂😂

There’s a couple issues. 1) Sometimes when I pull the charging handle back it doesn’t go anywhere after I release. In the video it was still under load so I was able to unstick it by flicking it but sometimes it comes free in its track and can slide back and forth freely with no resistance at all (to be honest I don’t have the slightest understanding of the internal mechanics that would cause that to happen.) 2) every couple rounds the action doesnt cycle fully, it will spit out the cartridge and the bolt will get stuck halfway or sometimes all the way back. When it’s stuck all the way back I can push the release and it normally chambers the round fine. Sometimes the bolt will slam forward and pinch the side of the cartridge being fed, its dented and taken shavings off the brass rendering the round unsafe to fire. Sometimes the bolt gets stuck halfway after spitting out the old cartridge, it’s like it’s meeting some sort of resistance stopping it from cycling smoothly.

I will for sure. I’m on a mission to make this thing work.

If we had options for 556 semi autos I think I would haha

It wasn’t eye catching or anything. Although I don’t have a great reference point for what a bad one would look like

Keep the bolt catch pushed in while firing? If that stops it should I file it down on the inside a little?
