[QUOTE=Gubbinz96;51973438]One last comment on this...This guy is very very lucky to be alive.
It's a common thing where people who get startled when firing a revolver, that from the recoil they instinctively squeeze their fingers around the gun, including the trigger enough to fire off a second round. This is a thing.

Why would you buy a gun to shoot at targets 5 feet from you?
And good lord that flinch he has.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;51975583]Has anyone else had problems with A-Zoom snapcaps? Their .25 caps aren't functioning even close to correctly in the Erma, and this time I'm sure it's not the gun. The rims are a bit larger in diameter and thinner than they're supposed to be and they occasionally rim-lock in the magazine, the extractor lets go of the rim too soon because the rims are too thin, and since they're wider than the case the last round always snags on the magazine follower.
I recall similar issues with their .30 Mauser snapcaps and my C96, but everyone always gives these things glowing reviews. What's the deal?[/QUOTE]
Mine are fine for the usual calibers (.45ACP, .38spl, 9mm, ect). THe only issues I have had with them are that the .380 ones would get the rims chewed to hell and back from my PPK.

I'd do the same thing to get an idea of how that gun will behave if I shot it. I'd also have a wicked flinch from that thing too.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51975789]i have had zero issues with them in 9x19, .38spcl, .223, .308, 12ga and .30-06, so that sounds weird.
worth keeping in mind that the Erma was very likely made to CIP specifications for the 6,35x16 mm SR as it is called here, it's possible that the .25 ACP has just a tad bit different specs according to SAAMI which I am almost willing to bet that A-Zoom adhere to. maybe you should try asking them if it's a known issue?[/QUOTE]
Good thought, I'll shoot them an email soon and see what they know. Curious that these guns are known to be very reliable with US market .25 ACP though, but I guess blowback force overcomes the feed/extraction issues...
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51975871]stupid question lonestar, were you feeding those 9x17s into the chamber or from the mag?[/QUOTE]
From the mag. It was from the dry firing that caused the rims to get chewed up. PPK's use the exact same extractor for both the .32ACP and .380ACP. Since it isn't exactly the same dimensions for proper fitment of the case, it chews it up from the impacts. PPK was in .380acp.
I accidentally bought a pack of Hornady Critical defense in 9x18 Mak instead of 9x19 Luger. Why did they have them next to each other damnit?

I guess now you'll have to go out and buy a Makarov to shoot it :v:
[QUOTE=Lone_Star94;51974510]Shotguns are weird in terms of the ATF and it all boils down to what the naked receiver is used for. It all hinges on what the factory or the very first assembly of the shotgun to determine what classification it will have. In the eyes of the ATF, once a type of firearm, always that type of firearm. This is dumb but it's what makes shotguns the true chaos firearm of today. This is why buying a factory receiver with no parts on it is important. So in the case of the shotgun, it must meet the barrel requirement and OAL length to avoid the SBS or AOW tax. From here you have 4 options to build out your shotgun:
1) Make an AOW like the Serbu Super Shorty
2) Make an SBS with a barrel less than 18 inches and a stock
3) Make a typical civilian shotgun by meeting the barrel length and OAL requirements
4) Make a shotgun with a barrel less than 18 inches but meet the OAL requirement
Option 4 is what makes these new shotguns possible. Now the manufacturers have gotten savvy and created a new firearm that the ATF never thought would appear on the market. And as such, the ATF at the time did not have a classification for these guns so they created he "Firearm" category.
It's legal and doesn't require a tax stamp, but it's sitting in a gray area that can be easily changed like the arm braces had. So if you are considering one, be ready to either pony up for paperwork, or convert it to a standard shotgun.[/QUOTE]
Yeah that's one reason I ask I could do it for cheap (buy a shockwave already have the sig-brace from my ghetto illinois SBR not SBR build) or cheaper (I already own a mossberg persuader #50588 that comes from the factory with a pistol grip I could buy a 14" shockwave barrel kit and slap the SB on it) but while I'm okay with getting my skirt real comfortable with the line I'm not okay with sprinting over the line for what basically amounts to a heehee fun gun. like i'm even okay with if it get's re-classed buying another tax stamp (lord knows another won't kill me lol) or converting it I just don't want to get boned in the mean time because the ATF can't make up it's mind
Geel9, I had failure to ejects the first 2 mags. it settled down after 100 rounds or so.
Do what sonar said and if it keeps doing it switch to some +p rounds or NATO rounds. For a better break in and a better love punch.

You might have a limp wristing issue if this is what it looks like.
You haven't jammed a gun until you've got 3 cartridges in the chamber!
I once managed to have a double feed and a stovepipe at the same time with my 1911
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;51979747]I once managed to have a double feed and a stovepipe at the same time with my 1911[/QUOTE]
Good old fashioned American engineering, going above and beyond every time. :terrists:
Must've been a German model 1911 to overengineer that complexity of a failure.
But nothing says failure like stovepiping a double-fed Enfield because rimmed cartridges are great and never catch.
My FNS only jammed on me twice in the 300 rounds i put it through. The bullet just didn't feed all the way in and was stuck at an angle, and just giggled the slide and it was good. No other problems.
The only time my AR jammed on me was when I first took it out to shoot. The lower receiver hadn't been put together properly, so the buffer-spring detent popped out and got caught up in the mechanism.
My S&W has had a single ftf in the 1000ish rounds I've put through it and I think that was the ammo's fault because it was shit
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51983117]eh, i kinda want to buy my friends' old 10/22 and throw some upgrades at it (trigger/hammer/sear, firing ping, extractor, springs, barrel block, hogue OM stock and a new scope), talk me out of it..[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51983162]rugers are terrible but i kind of want a semi auto 22lr in addition to the cz452 i have now, i could even get it integrally suppressed for a little less than $320. if i get the rifle with a scope and mags for 300 bucks, why not..[/QUOTE]
That's $300 you can spend on more practice ammo.
Or a real gun :v:
Let my dad hold my FNS for the first time and he puts it in his waistband and goes "oooo look at me I'm a gangsta!" Goddamnit dad.

Damnit guys every other day this shit happens.
There is nothing wrong with a 10/22. Just because its basically the most common modern 22, and its reasonably cheap, doesnt mean its a shitty gun. Fuckin elitist gun hipsters, i swear.

Finally have proper mags for my AR, shout out to Ridge for that.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51983696]why is the rear mbus placed so far ahead?[/QUOTE]
Because it's not even tightened down yet
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51983762]another thing to point out, pretty easy to accidentally move your hand up against the barrel innit[/QUOTE]
It is, I'm still heavily playing with the positioning of the grip. I don't think it's been in the same place 2 times in a row when I've played with it. Also still considering grabbing a 15" rail and keeping this one for down the road when I may SBR it.
[QUOTE=Levelog;51983738]Because it's not even tightened down yet[/QUOTE]
My advice would be to bring it as far back as possible, for max sight radius, and push the optic as far forward on the upper receiver as possible.
You know what they say about unsolicited advice though :v:

I'm already pretty far forward for the optic. And yeah, That mbus isn't in a resting position, it doesn't event have the nut on the other side at the moment.
I did a thing today.

Shame the saddle mount's weaver rail doesn't line up right with the adapter, so I can't actually lock that shotgun down. One day though I'll get a shotgun with a pic rail on top and a 14" barrel and slap it under my AR.
