Wash Maybe, but it is in excellent shape. I am going to fiddle with it and see if I can make it work before picking up a new buffer/spring. That will be an option though. When I pull the charging handle back manually on an empty slide, it will not catch, so it has to be a clearance problem, not a lack of energy to pull the bolt back. It cycles beautifully.
blue109 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Posted November 28, 2017 So you are saying it wont lock back if you pull the charging handle back and manually activate the bolt catch?
Sisco Posted November 29, 2017 Report Posted November 29, 2017 Havent looked at it in detail since I got home. Was too damn cold at the range to get into it. Will check it tomorrow and get back to you on that.

No it doesn’t. I will get into it tomorrow, but I think I have the buffer tube screwed in one turn too many. If not I will do some troubleshooting and see.
unforgiven Posted November 29, 2017 Report Posted November 29, 2017 40's and sunny. What a difference from last year.
blue109 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Pretty sure we hit 90 last weekend lol. Little nippy in the morning though Edited November 29, 2017 by blue109

You could have gone to this part of Hawaii for a different climate. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hawaii-snow-falls-in-mauna-kea-mauna-loa-causing-winter-weather-warning/
unforgiven Posted November 29, 2017 Report Posted November 29, 2017 Who would have thunk it. I wish I could have island hopped. What a beautiful island.
Sisco Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Try Kauai, my favorite island. Absolutely beautiful. This is the Queens bath. 28 people have died here from going in when the waves are bad. Edited November 30, 2017 by Sisco

All three are really nice, and Magwa’s Idaho is right up there. Wife is making noises about moving back there.
bubbas4570 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 Forget eastern Montana, it looks just like ND..... Western Montana and Idaho......that's where to go! ......I think I just made a bumper sticker for Magwa.....
unforgiven Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 Caught southwest corner of Idaho when I came up Utah.It would quite a few lifetimes to see everything there to see in nature and the country. I would go back.

It ran flawlessly except it would not lock back on an empty magazine. I only had one magazine with, so I will have to see what happens with a different one, but I am guessing the BCG is going back far enough to chamber, but not quite far enough to lock open. Any quick fixes? Thinking I might try unscrewing the buffer tube one turn and retightening the stock ring to see if that allows it. Had screwed the buffer tube too far-in. Backed off one turn, Was still enough to hold the detente pin and spring down. Reassembled and it now holds the bolt back-on both the bolt catch and an empty magazine.
