If it's home-brewed & not factory, then more likely it was done on a drill press with an axis slide vice, using a cutting bit. I've actually been contemplating doing this myself. |

So I ran into a problem with my ARX today at the range: I'm getting light primer strikes that are resulting in a failure to detonate the round, hence, failure to fire. I looked through the manual and it appears that the firing pin is seated into the bolt and has a spring around it. Some rifle designs simply use a "floating firing pin" like AR's and most AK's, some designs have theirs under spring pressure, as does the ARX.
I've never had this problem before but I've also never broken the rifle down past basic disassembly. I've never removed the firing pin. I have less than 1k rounds through the gun. I also noticed the bolt cam pin is removable. It's the part of the bolt that rides along a recess in the bolt carrier but it's apparently removable in order to remove the actual firing pin from the bolt. When I took it apart at the range, the bolt cam pin freely fell out of the bolt and the firing pin seems locked into its position. I can't remove the firing pin to see what's impeding its movement. Anybody have any experience with this? I love this rifle system but, at this point, I've got a 7-pound pile o' plastic and steel that's non-opperable. |

Broken spring , or broken firings pin??
As far as I know the firing pin locks in the cam pin like on an ar15, appears that way on the schematic anyway. If the pin broke, that would allow the cam loose? A new firing pin is 7 bucks from brownells. May be worth a call to Beretta. |

Try pushing the firing pin out from the bolt face. I have not had this issue with my ARX but did with my CZ P09. My CZ had a tiny piece of roll pin binding it. Maybe the spring broke or you have a little metal shaving in it. |

I haven't, but I only have about 300 rds through it. I have cleaned it twice and after my last cleaning I got used to how it disassembles. It sounds like your firing pin spring may have petered out. During my last cleaning I thought that I should order a couple of those springs from Beretta. |

Strip the bolt from the bolt carrier and remove the cam pin and the extractor/ejectors. To remove the extractor/ejectors push (one at a time) from the back towards the front of the bolt, then push outwards until the extractor/ejector falls out of it's retaining notch. Pulling the extractor/ejectors* lets you see the hollow that's under them, allowing access to the firing pin. With the slots opened up it's easy to use a punch or other tool to push the firing pin rearwards. As to the firing pin itself, mine had peened a little at the front, behind the tip. I just removed the displaced metal with a ceramic stone (more polishing than metal removal) and it's worked ever since.

So to update, I took the bolt carrier apart and it took some force with a punch and hammer (coupled with pliers) to remove the firing pin from the bolt. Repeated the process a few times and scarped off what looked like a minor amount of carbon fouling. I've cleaned my AR's and removed the firing pin to find much more fouling on them and they still ran fine. Anyways, I cleaned the bolt a little, took it out and sent a few mags downrange and it seemed to run just fine. Thanks for the tip. Seems I need to include stripping the bolt as part of the process going forward. It's worthy of mention that after removing and reinserting the firing pin into the bolt several times (after the first initial cleaning of it) it seemed to come in and remove easier with each repeat. Also, this rifle utilizes a firing pin spring. Some rifles use them and some don't. AR's, as most of us know,are free-floating. Same with most AK's. I'll make certain this becomes part of my cleaning routine in the future. Hope this info helps any of the other guys with an ARX. Despite this hiccup, I still have almost nothing negative to say about this rifle. |

The lower add-on pic rail, CH extension, & 10" bbls are out now. Nothing much else, although based on the cal listing on the side of they are shipped in, I suspect they are coming. Personally, I'm hoping they're quietly working on a commercial semi ARX-200. |

Still mulling over whether to delay my AR precision upper build and fo on this while the price is so good. Couple questions for you guys.
1. Any easy or creative solutions out there for adding compatibility with a QD sling mount to the buttstock's loop so I can use my existing VTAC without having to remove hardware just to attach it to the ARX? Obviously a pic mount can be added with ease to one of the side rails, but what to do with the rear is the question. On my Benelli M4, there was the IWC Mount-N-Slot solution which was suggested by another Arfcommer and works amazingly as it's on there rock solid. Wondering if there's something like that out there. Or if the hole is the same dimensions as most loop holes, I probably could just use another IWC Mount-N-Slot. 2. I saw someone saying the select fire ARX-160's heat sinks are removed in the semi-auto ARX-100. Is that true? |
