Yea, I guess I do. What possessed me to try and do something nice for a site where the staff has this kind of contempt for its users I don't know. I must be crazy. There are some fine folks here, but the attitude of the moderators is too disgusting to put up with anymore. Please cancel my paid...

I thought it might be useful to have a resource that compiled medical and after action reports on shootings involving duty calibers. If you know of any high quality cases, please post them here in this thread. If we get enough, I will compile them into a pdf and upload it to the resources...

...or is Armslist pretty much dead right now? I've got a few listings up and I'm not even getting bites. No one's even bothering to offer to trade me their Taurus for my Colt Python.:uhoh:

Read the thread! "They" refers to carbon deposits. No one is gluing anything.

Wow. I had a bad experience with my first and last Remington, and have avoided them ever since. I thought maybe I would take a chance with their LE models on the assumption they were better, but it sounds like I've done right just staying away from them altogether. I've had nothing but Benelli...

They've been trying to work out caseless ammo for about fifty years now, and there's not been any new technology that would make it any more viable today than it was back then. Basically it would require some kind of alloy that dissipated heat much, much faster than anything we have currently...

Sorry, no, I didn't mean you should glue it in. I was talking about how the carbon deposits bond the gas tube to the block. You could hypothetically use something to seal up that leak, but I think that would be more of a diagnostic measure than a long term solution. There's some stuff that would...

Exactly, and with great success all around. All it requires is a slightly increased taper, a generous chamber, and of course coating the rounds in something to protect them. A lot of people think the lead and brass shortages of WWII only applied to Germany, but it was a worldwide shortage. The...

They glue it in. And it only takes a few rounds to really cement one in there. To get it out without damaging it, you have to soak it in something for days.

There's no need to get testy. I'm just trying to understand the specifics. If it's a matter of things breaking when they get tossed into barrels, then that's one thing. Although I see lots of 3 gun guys with extended carbon fiber tubes, which would take the brunt of the abuse in that case, so I...

I wouldn't consider it normal myself. The fact that he was able to remove the gas tube is also somewhat telling. Once fired, if in spec, it should be an ordeal and a half getting it back out.

That is definitely a gas leak. Whether or not it's enough to cause your problem I can't say, but since it's the only thing apparently wrong I would start there. Did you buy the gas tube from Odin, as well? On the gas port, I would leave it alone until you've ruled out everything else. It can...

Looks like feeding problems waiting to happen. But who knows, maybe. I've seen a lot of things I didn't think would work that surprised me. It would be a big advantage to be able to reliably use polymer cases. The cost savings would be enormous. It's always kind of surprised me that militaries...

I still don't get it. Shotguns get run hard for skeet, too. I had an autoloader crap out on me shooting skeet one day, and it was only because there was so much carbon built up that it wouldn't cycle anymore. After being wiped down and oiled it was fine.

That sounds like the culprit to me. Can you post a photo? What brand is the gas block? I believe your gas key is gtg. That would satisfy me. I do not believe magazines are your issue. I also doubt that there's anything out of spec regarding the magwell or mag catch. To me, it sounds like the...

What kind of stuff goes wrong with them? I can't believe one match requires a gunsmith. I could see having to replace maintenance parts after X number of rounds, but to have to get a gunsmith involved... That's just ridiculous. I can't believe Remington is even still in business if that's the...

I have no idea. I scarf up Glock mags whenever they're on sale. I've got 15, 17, and 33 rounders.

Seriously? I've never had either one, but how can they be that unreliable? I mean, LE agencies all over the country use them. If they're reliable enough for duty use how can they not be reliable enough for a little competition? If that's the case I would sell that lemon and buy a used Benelli...

Now why does that not surprise me. I was thinking the same thing.

Solid choice, and you can't argue with the price!:thumbup:
