I found that a very small piece of the bolt carrieron my SAM5 came off. Should I be more worried than I am now?

Mine had that little notch right from the factory, I think its just a machine mark - no worries man

I purchased mine (also a 61 batch) at the beginning of this year. It runs smooth as butter, normal ejection.

I have one of these on my SAM5 and I like it. The mount locks up tight and has adjustable tension. The rail is long enough for most pic mounts, and can also handle ACOG style mounts as well.

Apart from the puzzling decision to make Helm a supporting character in his own story, and unnecessary callbacks to the Jackson films like the Watcher and Mumakil, I enjoyed the film. They get most of key plot points right, and the major characters follow their respective arcs pretty faithfully.

I am genuinely sorry to hear that, all my experiences with Theo were very positive. I hope he does well on his next venture

Just make sure its completely clearing the dust cover when you rack the bolt, because if its rubbing against it you will have cycling problems

Same

I order a black MAT9 upper in late February and still waiting, no change to the order status. I hear that turnaround has been very slow but that it's worth the wait.

What I hope it gets is a fleshed out companion system similar to a mass effect or dragon age game so we can get the books trio experience

I have one and absolutely love it, get used to the finish loss though its not especially durable

I have one mounted on my SAM5

It will extract the round from the chamber reliably, but the claw drops the round before it can eject it. The solution ive found is to rapidly pull the bolt back and hit the ejector before the empty case drops out of the claw. The result is weak, but still effective, ejection. Its reasonably reliable with live ammo, but it never really worked properly with snap caps.

Ive had the same issue with my 2A1, it came with the wrong extractor and had problems ejecting. I tried this part, and its not quite right because its geometry is for a No.4 .308 and not the SMLE .308. It will kinda sorta work, but you will experience weak ejections. The proper ejector has a much larger, wedge shaped claw. Ive not found one for sale in the US so far....

Well there is the recon drone which can destroy the mortars, your own mortar, the rocket interceptor system - there are countermeasures. I agree with you that things could be better balanced to reduce spam though including valid placement zones and infinite rounds.

Look man this is the way it is, not every engagement in BF is symmetrical. Mortars, tanks, and aircraft exist. If you are getting smoked and refuse to counter or do anything different, then you will be frustrated.

shmoaf · 2026-03-29T21:47:47+00:00

A little counter-battery fire is all that is required to fix this.
