@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 Thanks Dave. I've had some family business keeping me busy. Now with most of my home projects on track, I can get back to gun related videos.
@@michaeldunn150 Hey Michael. I have solar LED lights installed, as it is mostly just "overflow" storage from the main garage, not having heat or power. I worked on some landscaping this weekend. I have the lawn pitch about where it needs to be, to allow for winter drifts and spring thaws. This time of year, I only get to see my house in daylight during the weekends. It's on/off rain today, so I worked on some indoor tasks. 😀
Thanks for sharing yea Definitely a Con on the good o’le 10/22 gotta take it all the way down to clean. I did tap a hole in rear of Receiver on mine at least now can access Carbon ring area and run a rod properly.These suckers cake up quick.👀
@@nopro5433 They take down easily enough. There are also VOLUMES of areas to "store" lead and grime, allowing these things to run even after thousands of rounds. I do like the modified cleaning opening you did. 👍 This one should be drilled and tapped for an air-chuck fitting... Then, just blow it out with an air compressor.😅
@@Michigan4Conservative Yea I picked up a Kidd Bolt and it’s tight as hec and a pain every time One way,actually Thinking of picking up brownells Receiver or something like that give a little more room🤪 Oh well dreaming is free lol.👍🏻💀✌🏻
@@CountryRimfire Thank you. I had a limited amount of time to clean this one. Normally the ultrasonic cleaner would have been used on all the small parts. The barrel soaked in solvent for a few days. The outer barrel buffed and blued. I have a single shot Savage that needs a total rebuild.
@@unclejim2330 Are you burning something? The entire area around me has a layer of smoke on all aspects of the horizon with a very stiff West wind. Perhaps more Canadian wild fires? I guess it is Canadian smoke. www.weather.gov/apx/wildfiresmoke#:~:text=Smoke%20from%20Canadian%20wildfires%20continues,create%20colorful%20sunrises%20and%20sunsets. I thought perhaps your Internet was down, and you were sending info by smoke signals.🔥😅
@@CountryRimfire A friend was kind enough to let me review it for a few days. If you think loading a single stage revolver is a pain (vs a double action with a speed loader or a semi auto), this is one level worse, having to load each BB, then load the cylinder.😅 It does look and function realistic enough for the cost.
@@williamblanchetti9962 Are you having the same problem with a different magazine? How about if you try: (In a safe, controlled location) Chamber a round. Do not fire Extract with the charge handle. * Is the round stuck in the chamber? * Are there scratches/scrapes that weren't on the brass when chambered? These could be chamber/bolt face rough surfaces. Sometimes, removing the upper from the lower, then slowly cycle the action by hand(again in a controlled, safe manner), looking for any signs of binding. Also, is the gas tube clear? Blow through with brake parts cleaner and then run dry patches to clean any residue, then lightly oil.
@@Michigan4ConservativeThanks for your input regarding my BCA upper. I thoroughly cleaned it head to toe before firing it, I'm running Magpul and Hex mags in it. I will clean the gas tube again, as well as the rest of it. The rounds are coming about halfway out of chamber and then sticking. No scratches or drag marks on the brass. I did notice on a couple of the primers the dreaded black firing pin primer cup indent. I was running 100 and 80 grain bullets through her. This is my 6th upper from BCA and I had such high expectations for it. My other uppers have been flawless, even the 350 legend and 7.62x39. I want to love this upper but I'm just pissed off about having to send it back. Thanks again for your ideas.
@@mckenzieb92 I thought that at first, but wanted as much material on the rim as possible. Also, that is already a stressed area. Making the material thinner will most likely get me a gouge into the barrel or broken extractor claw. So far, the gun is working well (still with less than 300 rounds through it)
@@Michigan4Conservative my only concern is the extractor sticking out farther as you mentioned, i believe you said you used a different barrel than the original one that came with the gun?
@@mckenzieb92 Well, sort of a different barrel. I've been buying "pistols". As the AFT can't seem to get a law passed, and continues to change "rules" as they need more felons..... I bought the Bear Creek Factory rifle barrel. So, it ~is~ a different barrel, the throat, feed ramp, and chamber are all the same between the short and longer barrels.
@@Michigan4Conservative oh alright,nthe reason I ask is I'm planning on buying the fully assembled bear creek pistol at some point so needed to make sure if doing it your way would work with the barrel it comes with
@@mckenzieb92 The barrel nut on mine was crazy tight. I had another viewer reach out asking about barrel removal on one that they purchased, as they were worried about breaking something due to how tight things were attached. I forget the open wrench size off the top of my head, but a good clam shell upper vise and the correct wrench makes it possible.
