I puchased an meavy machine gun upper from blackhorne (yes i know). I was kinda hesitant about it but after reading some reviews, good and fair on other boards i decided to go ahead and buy it. now we went to fire it today and i ejected the fist 2 reounds but wouldnt strip another one from the mag ( federal .223), next mags fired and didnt eject the spent caseing all ammo was factory .223 no surplus russian stuff. after careful inspection i notice that the reoll pin for the gas tube wasnt drilled all the way throgh ( on the gas tube itsself).
Nowi ordered this about 2 weeks ago and i feel if i ask for my money back they will hit me with a "restocking fee" wich is bull sine something was wrong with it at time of manufacture. Any advise? Its going back regardles, I have realy learned my lesson!!!  I just figured I would give them a fair chance ya know! Has anyone ever dealt with thier customer service? Every time i called today i got a voice mail, and I sent x4 emails....

Looking past who i bought it from, what could be the issue with it So let me get this straight..... You took the word of guys on a survival board from a post thats almost 2 yrs old versus the word of guys who know better on a gun board. Sounds about like you get what you deserve.

| well...hmm for one yes I read reviews that were a few yrs old thats all goodle came up with.... . As I stated "looking past" were i got it from. Every manuafcture of ar's have had some issues at some point in time so that subject is irrelivant right now. It was on an a1 lower correct buffer tube/spring, tried it also on my colt lower as well same issues, carrier key is good to go ( lewis machine tool and die). and weapon was lightly lubed |
Sorry man 
Blackthorn and Oly are two I flat out wont buy with your $. They make and sell crap. My advice, call them return it if you can and take what ever loss there is as a lesson. If they wont return it, get it working and sell it off and buy quality. 
BTW Ask us next time!!!!!!
