Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Yeah.....years ago I had an SKS that I bought used from Green Mountain Guns. It slam fired on me as well. I was at the range with it pointed in a safe direction of course and blamo....never really trusted that rifle much after that I must say.Originally Posted by DSB OUTDOORS
My determination to not strike the first blow, but also to not stand mute and allow myself, and all that I believe in and stand for, to be trampled by men who would deprive me of my God-given, or natural right to suit my own end.
Ahh their great weapons just have to stay away from corrosive ammo and keep em clean! Haven't had a problem since!
Agreed.....very nice rifles! The one slam fire was the only time that happen in the few years I owned it.....I just handled it extra careful after that day.Ahh their great weapons just have to stay away from corrosive ammo and keep em clean! Haven't had a problem since!

Within about a foot, depending on the amout of powder charge, a blank can kill. The velocity of the gasses can literally shred flesh. More than one 'cowboy' stunt man has died in Hollywood from this.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
I have had one slam-fire with my Kimber conversion .22LR what happened was the firing pin stop on the rear of the slide some how got pushed up causing it to lock the firing pin forward and i manually locked the slide back to change a magazine and had one live round i put in the chamber than dropped the slide to load the new magazine to my surprised it fired lucky the muzzle was pointed at the target boards as it should be!
scared the crap out of me tough! took the whole .22lr conversion a part and cleaned and than put it all back together the rear sight was a little loose its weird that they have a small set screw to keep the sight in place kind of weird! it probably has around 1000+ rounds through it, but usually thats when they get broken in and start functioning better! i will have to keep my eye on it!
coop
they did a thing on "1000 ways to die" about that.
Guy dumped about 4 blanks from a revolver at his daughters boyfriend.
Laughing he tried to "prove" they were safe, put it to his head and pulled the trigger.

Brandon Lee anyone?

Yep!! Thats what came to mind for me. Blank in a pistol, percusion? / wading / debris discharging?? Bravo Stirving!!
I have had doubling and a discharge on bolt release but they were due to bad trigger job, not a true "slam fire". The rifle was grounded until I replaced the trigger group.
The scary one was on bold release when it discharged about 5 feet in front of me and my son (always keep the muzzle in a safe direction).
