EasyEJL Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 So here's the deal, some idiot bought this, installed it with 0 lube, had failure to feed/eject over a couple of bullets and sent it back since we have a 100% money back guarantee. The blemishes are ONLY from him firing it dry, not manufacturing blemishes. I took pictures, but honestly its very hard to see at all. $200 shipped, our normal price is $236 plus shipping. I was keeping this one to build a separate 338 federal rifle, but i'm so tapped out financially that's not happening till at least july I figure, and I could use the $ for Christmas shopping.

blue109 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Aren't these high speed coatings popular because you can theoretically run them dry? Or is that more tier 1 internet mythology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that more tier 1 internet mythology?if all surfaces were coated with them, you can get by with virtually no lubricant after break in. The 2 major problems are break in, and that the other surfaces of the upper and lower receivers aren't usually coated. The thing is, you can give these a light wipedown with lubricant instead of the soaking wet deal and be fine. Just totally dry doesn't work out that well.Now if I could find a steel upper and lower receiver, I'd get them both black nitrided and then i'd be confident throwing a black nitride BCG in with no lube, and not be concerned.actually if the upper and lower was done with NiB too it might be ok, but I haven't seen uppers or lowers coated with it either.

blue109 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Gotcha. Didn't think about the receivers needing to be coated for bed results. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a year of shooting, I squirting it down with FireClean and cleaned it back to near-factory new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJL Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 bumping again. No need for uzi + sten parts anymore, just cash to cover vet bills. So far I'm up to $2400 in vet bills over the last 3 months, and the one dog hasn't even reached diagnosis yet :P he has a heart murmur, so they wanted to do ekg, heart xrays and ultrasound, etc before anesthetizing him to figure out whats wrong and maybe take a biopsy.
