gosh dang women!

[trlcavscout]

Out at the grasslands trying some new pistol loads and my first ar reloads and wouldn't you know it! I shoot 50 rds fine then I let her shoot and she locks my gunn up. I don't know what happened but I can't even pull the charging handle! I don't know if its a live or empty rd in the chamber. I can't put it on safe I can't do anything! WTF!

grab charge handle, put butt stock on ground, pointing gun barrel upwards.. Then pull handle and tap butt stock on ground at same time.(put blanket down or something so you don't scatch ). Oh don't look in barrel when doing this.[Coffee]

Bwahahah!! I was going to say "Pics of gun and wife or GTFO!" HAHAHA.

Don't be shy about it, either. Wear a glove on your charging handle hand, if need be. You won't break anything on your gun, but if you give a couple half-hearted attempts, you run the risk of tearing/breaking the rim off the case - then you have problems. Go big.

I got it. Thank goodness I spent the money on the BCM gunfighter charging handle. I had to kick it like I was starting a harley! I think it was the mags fault after seeing the shell it wasn't feeding right so I had racked it a couple times and the shell has a big dent in it.

ah yes, run a good training course for ARs and it will have a disfunction junction drill in it. If I run it, I guarantee you, you will know this maneuver at the end of it.

[trlcavscout]

Oh I have ran several courses and jammed up several good guns. I can cluster F anything if given enough ammo and time [ROFL1] I have to say up until this the BCM middy had run like a champ and not one issue even with old surplus ammo it ran like a deer. But this was locked up like a nunn! I tried the banging on ground trick etc and nothing, I wasnt sure if the round in the chamber was live or not but I played it like it was, it took a good swift kick to pop it. At least the G22 didnt fail me, never does.

Now I have lost all faith in my mags and reloads, I have to start all over. I broke a decap pin, so I went and bought a 5 pack, then I broke the rod and stuck a case so I replaced that crap then I thought it was smooth sailing. Now I have to start testing mags then retest ammo [Rant1] I have 23 GI mags and I dont know now which were bad since it was the wife shooting, I believe I have 2 that didnt feed right and/or lock the slide back. Then I have to regain trust in my dang reloads! I have loaded 2k+ of 40 without one hiccup.

I dry practice malfunction drills and reload drills almost as much as I dry fire my Glock. And thats quite a bit.

Just for the threads sake-

A friend of mine was out shooting with a 20" BCM AR and a Glock 19. He handed the Glock off to the lady, and it malfunctioned, for the first time in nearly 10,000 rounds. So bad he had to take it home and rebuild it from detail strip. Then, he hands her the AR, she takes a few shots, hands it back, and he gets a Kaboom on the first round. I had the same guns with no problems, shooting the same ammo, except I didn't let a girl shoot them, mine worked fine, his failed, one even blew up! A good enough reason to buy the wife her own guns if you ask me [Tooth]

I had a similar problem using reloads, turns out my headspacing wasn't setup right on my dies. These were hornady dies. Well after the hornady dies kept getting cases stuck in them, I threw them away and bought dillon. Make sure your dies are headspacing properly. I still get some cases stuck in the dies, but dillon has a neat feature that will press out the stuck shell.

[Byte Stryke]

Had a 24" LR-308 with a reaaaaaly tight chamber that would sometimes lockup hard like this on my reloads. Finally cured it with a body die, then sold it. Anyway, I'd get some crazy looks when I'd do the buttstock inertial pull with something that big (pointing gun skyward, crouching down, firm grip on handguard, slam buttstock into ground, momentum of bolt becomes inertial puller). Anyone that doesn't understand it either thinks your suicidal, or they think you are really pissed at your AR. In all honesty, I'm pretty sure this was also very bad for my scope, but what can you do...

***warning: Risk of accidental discharge (make sure barrel is pointed in as safe of a direction as possible, free of any targets you don't want to hit, I'd recommend as vertical as possible (bullets dropping straight down from apogee don't do tooo much, bullets arcing from any trajectory do)***

***warning: You might F Up your buttstock.****
