_sivart Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Years later, I finally finished my AR-10. I attached a youtube link of it being fired in slo-mo to help show you what its doing. All specs are listed in the description. Not really sure what this thing is doing, looks like the extractor can't get a good grip on the case? When it tries to load a new round, it collides with the spent case and bends the new round going in. Let me know what you all think
shepp Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Welcome to the forum feel free to tell us about yourself in the intro section. I'm sure somone will be alingbto answer you soon
guruofhotrod Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) First thing that I see is it looks kinda dry - lube the crap outta that thing with some Mobil 1 motor oil - get the BCG Drippin Wet!! also try a variety of different ammo and see how it behaves. She may just need a good break in. Edited January 23, 2017 by guruofhotrod
MikedaddyH Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Break in with Mobil 1 or Castrol GTX. Wet!
Robocop1051 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 You need to tear down your bolt and take a look at your ejection spring. It looks like your springs are toast. Luckily, they're a quick $1 fix. Oh.... and....
DNP Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Robo....ban yourself. Send yourself to the corner...whatever you need to do, but do it. That is hideous.

Magwa Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Yep I agree ejector spring issue and give robo 1000 warning points my eyes are permanently damaged....

There appears to be plenty of time and room for the ejection. The casing just isn't clearing the receiver.

I read how that could be possible, and the benefits of having a adjustable gas block, any takers? Looks about 90 bux, if their claims are true it would be nice to have one regardless As far as ejector springs and different extractor claws, I'll try the cheaper route before buying a new gas block. Pardon the ignorance, I've been out of the AR world for a while, do AR15 ejector springs fit in the AR10 bolt? The usual places only have AR15 bolt parts

Armed Eye Doc Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 All I know is, I have to keep my eyes in good working order. I didn't look long enough to figure out gender.

Even when you think you're sure, ready to bet your paycheck, they tell you, "but I identify as a ...." shit. I can say I dentify as an avocado or a gawdamn porn star, but neither one makes me green or gives me a 10" dork!! If you ain't it, then you don't get to claim it.

Reminds me of the time I mixed up the dogs thyroid medication with my blood pressure pills. I had an overwhelming urge to lick my balls but I couldn't reach them. Wife just put a cone around my head.

Quote , " At this point , what difference does it make " Even Hitlery had historic input. I would as said , inspect the Ejector & Extractor assembly's , for burr's or debris in the Bolt where the fit . I have seen Extractors that hold onto the Case too long cause the same type of issues .
_sivart Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Posted February 6, 2017 Update: Swapped out the gas block to and adjustable one, turns out I did not have a .025 gap at the barrel shoulder on the last gas block according to the instructions, feel like that would be a critical step? At the range, adjusted the gas low enough to cycle the round, now the spent cases eject forward to about the 2 o'clock position. I did lube it thoroughly as directed in your picture of that critter covered in lube. I did a double tap a few times for good measure and it did a double feed on me as it did in the video Whats next? Heavier buffer?
planeflyer21 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Posted February 6, 2017 Yup, that gap between the gas block and barrel step is critical.
