So yesterday get home from work......lets start from the top in November I purchased a used M1A standard. The owner told me the rifle was flawless, so I bought it. It was a severely busy winter and I didn't get a chance to try it out until May...(insert BS excuses here) anyway, The rifle jams twice on me, When I say jam, it is partially in battery with a live cartridge in the chamber. the hammer is resting against the bolt. I did not pull the trigger. only twice so I dismissed it to lack of lube. 2 weeks later I again go to fire the rifle, same thing except this time it does not pick up a cartridge and still locks up partially in battery. the bolt is bound up in the reciever. a friend mentions to me to call SAinc. and tell them to fix it.........I call them, spoke with a guy named Mitch. I state it is a used rifle. He looks up the serial number and tells me to send it in...I'm thinking WOW. So I send the rifle off on a Weds...it arrives on a Friday. I get home yesterday and my rifle is waiting on me. 1 Week...I am humbled. the invoice reads, New operating rod spring, new magazine catch, new mag catch spring, Refit gas cylinder. I will have to take it out and see if this cures my problems... Ideas? Gary |
