LOL magnets. yeah okay dude,.

If you want to remain ignorant, that’s your prerogative.hey man, I don't care what you say. you could tell me 1+1=2 and I'm not going to listen.

pffft. you both beat me to it.If you want to remain ignorant, that’s your prerogative.
I can explain that, bone dry, never cycled. I bought an M&A upper years ago, and after unwrapping the bolt carrier, I put it in the upper, without the charging handle while checking the parts. Getting that thing out took a screwdriver, and way more prying than it should have. Two drops of oil, and it would shake out.I have had 3 brand new BCG's to break in. 2 were Toolcraft and 1 was Del-ton. they all did the same thing. run very sluggish for 50 rounds (probably would not lock back on empty mag), loose after 100 rounds, normal after 150 rounds.
so today I called 4 gun shops and asked about this. all 4 confirmed that yes that's how it goes. 2 told me it takes 200 rounds to break in a BCG.
and here is a fourth BCG I have, which is brand new and has not yet been shot.
explain this.

does this mean i need to trade in my navy seal sourced froglube and switch to tactical gatoraid lube? Gotta go, mall emergencySomeone isn’t as familiar with the AR as he thinks. A new bolt staying put when supporting 2lbs isn’t so surprising.
He claims I’m on his ignore list, so maybe he’ll miss an opportunity for education here - I don’t eat canned stew, so I shared a few other common household items:

Going from our left to right:
New, unfired, holding 2lbs of W296
New, unfired, holding 2lbs of W296
New, unfired, holding 2lbs of H110
~2,500 rounds 204R holding 2lb dumbbell
~4,000 rounds 6.8 SPC holding 2lb dumbbell
This next set would not hold 2lbs, but WILL hold net 20oz bottles of Gatorade:
New, unfired - 20oz+ Gatorade
New, unfired - 20oz+ Gatorade
~40,000rounds, 20oz+ Gatorade
The last two failed with the 20oz Gatorade, but held the net 16.9oz bottles of water:
~3,000rnds 16.9oz+ water bottle
~15,000rnds 16.9oz+ water bottle
Reminding here - the common test for gas ring condition is to extend the bolt from the carrier and stand the BCG on its nose. Pressing the opposite direction, naturally, this leaves about half a pound of carrier supported by the gas rings - as a MINIMUM standard. So why would it be surprising good condition rings and carrier will support 2lbs of stew?
Just silly...

TarWhat are you lubing with?
Tar.
So the hypothesis is that African gas rings, non-migratory when properly spec'd, can carry two cans of Campbell’s, but European gas rings cannot under any circumstance?
