Just thought I would start a topic about Guns. And see where it went. I have owned Olympic pre ban sold it to a friend in new york that I was in the service with. I hear people bash them all the time. I shott the hell out of it cheapest ammo I could find. Never a hiccup realisticly I'm not possitive but that rifle probably had somwhere between 12-20k rnds that I put threw it. I have know idea how many whent threw it before I bought it used for a whoping $400. The only problem my friend has had with it is he got a couple of mags that wouldn't function. Colt pre pan but denuted it was the model without the bayo-lug.No drive by bayonettings with this one.  When i bought it it was like new but used. It has at least 5k rnds through it. No problems but hey it's a colt their shouldn't be.  Same deal as above lots of cheap ammo. Had some i got at market hall gunshow that actually hit about 6 feet apart worst ammo ever. I had to get a friend to shoot it to make sure it was the ammo and not me. Rock dpms. rock river upper dpms lower. only got about 3k out of this one 0 malfunctions. My only gripe is RRA finish seemed to wear real quickly to me but since I bought it to shoot not a big deal. Dpms rock. Dpms upper rra lower. Haven't really shot it that much been messing with other stuff. But still 0 malfunctions. Just thought I would try to get a gun discusion going see what problems you guys have had. Note Anyone who looks at my weapons will tell you I'm no clean freak either I spray some oil on them wipe off whats dripping. Rusty 69 will testify to what my Glock's looked like.  I should be ashamed I just like to know if my stuff will run in less than perfect conditions or maybee I'm just lazy.

I have owned 6 ARs, never had probelm with anyof them, they have been 2 Colts, one of which was bought new in the early 80s. The others have all been Bushmasters, never a problem out of any of them,other than normal break in stuff. I have a had a HK 91m bought it in the mid 80s, wish I had never sold it. ALOT of S&W products, all good. Several Ruger revolvers and rifles, no problems. T/C Encore, stuff is good, so is the NEF line of rifles.... and on and on and on and on and on......... |
I'm only on my 1st AR. Model 1 sales upper with a dpms lower. 1300 rounds and not 1 problem. I did just order another bolt though just incase somethin happens to mine. Read a thread that talked about people havin a few problems around the 2K round mark the M1S bolts breakin. I bought a dpms for backup. My next build that I'm in the middle of is a cmmg lower with a $30 sportsmansguide car stock on it with a First Samco pistil grip on it and a RRA parts kit. Barrel n bolt n whatnot will be LMT with an ARMS SIR foregrip/ rail n flip up sights.

I have had a Colt LEO Carbine in .223 since right after 9/11/01. I had a Colt LEO 9mm carbiner before that. I loved the 9mm and I had 4 factory 32 round mags, and 3 factory 20 round mags with it so I was good on mags. I sold the mags for about $100 each 2 years ago and sold the rifle with one 32 round mag to someone in New Jersey for about $2800 shortly after 9/11/01. I only like the Colts because I could get them cheaper at the time and they tend to hold thier resale value well. |

I have 3 ars at this time. The only one I have ever had problems with is the one I carry on duty. It is a little paticular on ammo (match chamber) but never had a problem with good ammo. On one of my others I once had to replace an ejector spring, I had shot the hell out of that one. I am currentl thinking about building another one an ultralight. |
we need details on that one. how many rounds were you running it on a full auto lower??? The reason I started this topic is because I have seen lots of people talk about how unreliable AR's are and I just haven't had that kind of experience with them. The only problems I have ever had were magazine related and I have shot reloads that made "wolf" look like match ammo. Watch all mine break down at the shoot this weekend.

Watch all mine break down at the shoot this weekend. thats what my 10 did at the 25th shoot, was bragging that I hadn't had a jam or fte in a k rnds. and sob jammed four times in a row, untill I hosed it down with tri-flow, then had my first jam with wolf in my 15, not bad figuring I fired around 15k+ of the stuff through several rifles, but still to have a rifle jam in front of others is down right embarassing, just about on par with finally hooking up with a chick you been after for along time and being too shit faced and pie eyed to get it up. |
to me that my Cetme runs better than a 10. Especially when you consider the price diffrence and it was built by monkeys.
no shit on that, I coulda bought 5 cetmes,and some mags and ammo for what I got in my 10, but outta all the ARs I've had I like my 10 the best. |
Of course, now that I have a .22 conversion...wooohoo!
