This is the first issue I've had with Federal and I still have a couple boxes left of it. I guess I'll start putting a closer eye on my boolets now. I usually fire Perfecta

Federal .40. Came out of the box this way.

>>31008417
Potential for excessive chamber pressure due to the decreased interior volume of the case (assuming it fed into the chamber). Odds are he'd be fine, but still you don't want to subject your rifle to unnecessary abuse.

>>31008314
Quick annon, did the bullet see it's shadow when it poked it's head out of it's hole? I need to know how long /k/ winter will last this year.

Its called bullet setback.
It happens when you chamber the same round multiple times.

>>31008661
I will have to rest happily in the knowledge that don't think a bullet that just came out of a box was chambered multiple times, instead of the more likely option that there was a die/press/shipping malfunction, which seems more likely.

I had a 77gr bthp come out of the casing when I was clearing my rifle. I guess it wasn't crimped right or the throat was too tight in my AR.

>>31008809
The trunion cracked on my PTR, causing the bolt-gap to shrink to zero rapidly (Within the span of a magazine). The lack of a bolt gap caused fuckery with the extraction that allowed chamber pressure to press the casing into the flutes.

There were some other cycling issues involved, like this reverse double feed.

>>31008873
How did the funion crack? did you have a lot of rounds through it? did PTR fix it without issue? What is the capitol of Arkansas?

Well usually there's a couple cracked ones in each bag. They're pretty fragile as far as snacks go.

The parts alone for that thing is close to 6 grand, so I'm still ahead in the long run.

>>31009401
Any delayed blowback of any kind shooting more than a pistol round have fluted chambers.

>>31009366
Damn, thanks , is it fixed now or what

>>31009366
what is better about a $4k MSG90A1 clone vs a $1000 PTR 91 with a match grade barrel? is it just pretty much increased accuracy?

For me it's 90% looks. If it shot sub 1 MOA I'd be happy, and it did that a couple times. And immediately broke.

>>31009933
Nope, it's back home and I'm stationed on the other side of the country.

>>31011287
I bought this heavily modified rifle off a guy who had it for quite a while. It's safe to say there isn't a warranty anymore.

>>31010626
Yup, I saw that it was 4 grand and couldn't not get it. I had been ogling hkparts.net for a while and knew how much everything cost because I was going to build one myself.

>>31012537
The owner said it was "new, in box" from someone trading it in. It sounds like he was duped and/or didn't look to see what was in the box.

Winchester white box.

>>31012544
wow yeah that sucks. must have been old as shit or stored in a crap location. the way the cases look, almost like a chemical reaction happend with the styrofoam/packaging from the ammo box

>>31012510
>>31012662
no idea how that could happen since i have brass case surp ammo from the 1940s that looks just fine, only a dull patina

Had the weirdest double-feed happen to me the other day. The round got ripped in half by the extractor and caused pic related. It almost looks like the manufacturer attempted to piece together two previously-broken halves of brass and proceed to make it a live round. Definitely one of the weirdest things to happen with my AR.

That's just bizarre, amigo. Has that ever happened to you before? What type of ammo were you using?

>>31012667
>>31012662

Funny thing is a friend of mine said to go ahead and shoot it. In the ridiculously off chance I would have let that happen, I'd have told him he gets the first shot with that ammo :^)

>>31012693
>File: O SHIT.jpg (367 KB, 1920x1440)
thats a broken shell on extraction not a double feed...clean your chamber it could be overly dirty. if that keeps happening, you may have an issue with too much gas or a rough/ chamber. usually see that with steel case because of the coatings they put on the shells

What do you guys think of TulAmmo 5.56.? I haven't shot it, the LGS has some kinda cheap I've been eyeing.

Heh, sorry there bud, but I know my way around a gun. I watch TFB TV. H&K's are simply not made in a way that can cause malfunctions like that. Maybe try again later when you think someone will fall for this bait?

Is federal 22lr okay? I recently noticed my local shop selling 40 grain game shok solids and hollow points for 3.00 bucks a box of 50

Are they reliable or should I stick to CCI?
