    Out of Battery? What is it?

    Thanks for the input. A huge amount of possible causes. I don't have the gun (was able to return it) for any further examination (bolts/springs/etc). But I would say that in the future I'll be a lot more careful about my knowledge of the quality of the product and parts than I was in this...

    What guns have you sold/got rid of, and why?

    Great Thread topic-The question pops up-all the time-you can absolutely get carried away-you want a lot of stuff for different reasons-I had to start defining the reasons and purposes and limiting factors-(money being the biggest). Recently one that bugs me though-and ranks high on the stupid...

    Out of Battery? What is it?

    Thankyou Thanks to all who replied. One of the comments about me being lucky-was absolutely right-I kind of thought that when the big orange blast came out of the chamber that something might have went really wrong-the magazine did blow out-that may be why thankfully I didn't get another shot...

    Thank you both for the info-that clears up a lot-so if Im reading it right, the ammo failure was apparently due to the gun (out of battery) failure-not the other way around-and the "out of battery" appears to be then a mechanical "timing" issue? (where for some reason) The parts don't work in...

    Out of Battery? What is it?

    Ok-need some help on the learning curve-an "incident" happened-heres what I saw-a part(3/4 )of the casing, was stuck in the barrel (9mm semi-auto carbine), the bottom/rim area was gone and the bullet was about half way down in the barrel. I was told (by a Gunsmith) that there was a "squib" and...

    What AR15 brands should be avoided?

    First off, for me, my DPMS (Oracle) is a champ-fantastic-not a minute or round of difficulty (hundreds of rounds) -However, I also recently bought a PSA (9m, Glock Compatible AR)(upper and lower sold separately) Thought- for the price-how could I go wrong?-not only did it not function properly...

    PSA Kits?

    I just recently (4-15) bought the upper and lower for a 9mm Glock Compatible AR from PSA-when I put it together didn't function properly-took it for inspection to LGS-sent it back to CS-they sent it back-not repaired=runaround-My situation is not resolved--so my suggestion is-if its not in your...
