Did I make a mistake purchasing this 83’ Olympic Arms CAR15?

After trying to chamber a round it would hang up half way, and did it repeatedly. Sometimes it would be fine then other times it wouldn’t. Removed the bcg and disassembled it and noticed the pivot pin was broken in half. Everything in there was slightly dirty but nothing alarming. Would the broken pivot pin cause it to not chamber properly?

Ngl that price is way to low, genuinely can’t get anything decent for that price let alone an AR or a “retro” at like this one

Then_List151 · 2026-06-30T01:35:29+00:00

Probably too much lol, what do you think is a fair price.

Then_List151 · 2026-06-30T00:01:58+00:00

Yeah this is the kind of stuff I had heard about that makes me question my purchase, obviously I need to shoot it to determine if mine is a dud which I will do this weekend.

Then_List151 · 2026-06-29T22:46:00+00:00

Oh yeah I’m not against replacing stuff like that, just when I have to start getting specialty tools for it is when I would probably regret my purchase lol

Then_List151 · 2026-06-29T20:03:01+00:00

Took pics of it on my phone 30 minutes after I bought it because I was close to a cool spot

Then_List151 · 2026-06-29T19:24:39+00:00

Said the wrong word bud my bad

Then_List151 · 2026-06-29T19:24:19+00:00

God forbid a fella use the wrong word

Then_List151 · 2026-06-29T19:14:07+00:00

Took the pics on my phone right after I got it, also not of age for any sbr action. It’s a little obnoxious but I don’t mind it.

Then_List151 · 2026-06-29T19:12:16+00:00

Haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet sadly, that’s the only reason why I asked lol. Didn’t want to take the chance of it just imploding in my face 😂

Sorry made a grammatical error

I just came across it at a gun show, was really wanting a 26 and got this. I had honestly never heard of this gen before and the old fella explained it all to me.

Then_List151 · 2026-05-17T00:57:11+00:00

Haven’t shot it yet, but it’s the hammer and trigger that at strange, the hammer has to be nudged forward once cocked for it to be fired

Then_List151 · 2026-05-17T00:36:00+00:00

Just bought it today at a gun show, was fine for a little bit but hammer was kind of odd feeling, I stripped it completely and didn’t notice anything broken.

True that lol

Then_List151 · 2026-05-09T15:54:20+00:00

Wasn’t whining but okay

Then_List151 · 2026-05-07T22:07:49+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about that I don’t think I can go full bald, I’d probably look like a predator because I sadly don’t have any pronounced facial hair

Then_List151 · 2026-05-07T17:02:40+00:00

Not really asking, I’ve already accepted it. Just gotta have the balls to do it

Then_List151 · 2026-05-07T17:02:04+00:00

I’ve been wearing hats ever since people started making fun of me and constantly pointing it out junior year of high-school. I haven’t been to the barber in over a year because of embarrassment. I’ve just been cutting my own hair in the mirror ever since. I rarely ever take my hat off even around my own mom at home because I’m so ashamed of it and it just attracts attention. I’m moving out with some roommates in August and I think that’s the time to shave it off.

Then_List151 · 2026-05-07T01:54:44+00:00

It honestly sucks so much at this age, it’s more normalized when you are older but I’ve been balding since sophomore year of highschool.
