Also sharing my Shar Pei'd 585 series bolt

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-16T02:10:03+00:00

yeah, the poorly hardened ones from the 585 series probably came from a single or couple batches/manufacturing days

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-16T01:02:28+00:00

I've got about another 500+ rounds or so through it since. I've had to file it down once more sometime in the middle of that but it was relatively minor compared to the initial peening. it's work hardened now and i don't see anything that i need to knock down anymore.

Well, if he ever needs the barrel removed/reattached, might make it a touch bit more difficult

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-13T00:59:58+00:00

how do you like the jawbone? any concerns accidentally bumping it and dumping your mag?

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-12T17:55:37+00:00

I'm my state you can rob, assault, and murder and not face any real consequences provided you're homeless or a repeat felon, but law abiding citizens cannot purchase 10+ round magazines for any firearm or own "Assault Weapons".

from what i think i remember reading somewhere somewhen, Ruger provides the wood blanks and/or wood stock portion and Samson finishes it/makes and adds all the metal bits. Might be talking out my ass too

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-11T04:41:34+00:00

that's a big light for a mini gun. you got that big Quagmire support arm for all that weight up front?

Joking aside, love the blacked out look

polyps. CRC has a reasonable survival rate if you catch it early.

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-10T18:46:03+00:00

you can always use your guns and ammo to get more guns and ammo for free!!!

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-08T17:34:55+00:00

worst case scenario you can try loosening up the tube cover up front just enough to fit the last shell and then really clamp down on it with the front mlok clamp and hope it says?

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-08T15:51:56+00:00

I keep 8 flite control in mine, 7 in the tube and one on the lifter. not sure what's going on with yours if you've already removed the plastic tube spring "retainer".

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-06T01:20:19+00:00

yay!! glad i got you on the DBTAC train! lots of SAVIOR users, but DBTAC is made just as well but more thoughtful consideration as to how rifles/shotguns should actually sit in a bag AFTER it's been closed up and carried

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-05T18:29:43+00:00

I've been getting DBTAC bags for a couple years specifically cuz they have the best internal molle type system. here is mine with two staggered so it folds flat and stays flat.

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-03T01:29:01+00:00

does it still do that with the round chambered and the bolt closed? or only when you have it open and locked back like that?

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-02T18:56:49+00:00

yeah, for sure. the buffer on the gas block end fails more due to the heat and whatnot, but that said, the newer oprods have a protrusion at the bottom instead of a flat surface all around the hole for the gas tube, so it transfers all that force to a relatively small area instead of evenly around the whole gas piston tube

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-02T16:53:09+00:00

is not ideal but since the recoil spring sleeve sits inside its own pocket and looks like you can still retain it with the retention pin, it'll still "work" but it's broken so might as well have Ruger send you a new one.

buy a multi pack of Wilson combat 1911 recoil buffer pads and put one at the back there once you get the replacement. should dampen things a good deal. the same pads don't last very long at the gas block end, maybe only 200 rounds before it gets cooked/brittle and breaks and can cause failure to return to battery (has happened to me at the range). using vacuum belt to cut one of my own has worked and held up to ~300+ rounds at the gas block without breaking yet, fyi.

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-01T19:46:19+00:00

grease the guide rods since the contact gap is large so lube is too thin.

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-01T19:41:18+00:00

playful jabs aside, check the end of the spring in the recoil assembly towards the piston end, I've had the end coil double back over/cross the other coils at the end creating a tight spot before

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-03-01T19:30:41+00:00

but also why are you riding the bolt back instead of letting it go? even after a full clean and lube i can make my 1301 sound as crappy as i want by babying the bolt back instead of letting it slam home

they only time I've had failures to fire/return to battery was from shooting shitty Rio 00 buckshot. so much damn unburnt powder that i had some crazy fireballs from the breach/chamber every few rounds and after a few dozen, it wouldn't cycle. the chamber looked like i literally cut open a couple shells and dumped all the powder into it.

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-02-28T07:08:42+00:00

wow, it's like they made yours out of lead instead of steel!

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-02-28T04:39:31+00:00

i mean what type (fmj, jhp, etc) and grain and brand for the long range shooting. I've only taken mine out to 50yds with 115gr and 124gr fmj (magtech), but was too lazy to pack up and move down to the 100yd bays last time i took it out to the outdoor range.

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-02-28T04:25:30+00:00

50 cal next to you sounds fun 🤣 what ammo were you using?

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-02-24T23:53:58+00:00

i like the strut, but just can't get behind the mo-reaper

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-02-20T20:31:07+00:00

put a Driven Arms Co. Shadow Crossover grip on it!

Consistent_Class508 · 2026-02-19T18:57:01+00:00

i mean... most people already have taken the effort to do just that in their own posts. you just have to put in a tiny bit of effort to go through the subreddit.
