I HAVE QUESTION ABOUT A REGISTERED M16-A1.IF I PUT THE COLLAPSIBLE STOCK ON IT, IT FIRES ONE ROUND AND CHAMBERS THE NEXT AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE FIRING PIN HAS HIT THE PRIMER,BUT DOES NOT FIRE.WITH THE STANDARD LEGNTH STOCK ON IT ,FUNCTION IS FLAWLESS.ANY IDEAS AS TO WHY IT WON'T CYCLE WITH THE SHORTY STOCK, I HAVE TRIED THE HEAVY BUFFER ALSO BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE, ANY ADVICE THANKS, RIFLE7

STILL LOOKS BROKE TO ME! |

TO THE FOX I THOUGHT A LITTLE COMMENT OVER MY NOT KNOWING HOW TO USE MY KEYBOARDS WAS IN ORDER
|
|
Fox is regulatin' today, ain't he? Maybe he's looking to get his Mod spurs. Whaddya say, guys?
|
|
I'd rather stick my dick in the blender than let FOX- be a mod. |
|
|
I stuck mine in the pickle slicer to get him on his last time-out. |
||
|
Don't mind Fox-------He's the forum spaz and still working on "finding himself"... |
|
|
Nah, not at this forum atleast. |
|
|
WHY DO YOU TYPE WITH THE CAPS LOCK ON LIKE THIS!? ARE YOU YELLING!? |
|
|
|

|
Who the f*ck cares? |

Fox, as i have found out some people use all caps because they have bad eye sight and their only current solution is to use all caps. They may not have any access to reading glasses nor do they know how to chance the font size in their browser.
I see your point though it is awfully annoying. |
|
Ditto... I am not to keen on yelling at folks for using caps... Scaring off an old-timer just because he isn't a computer nerd (I work in I.T. ... wooo!) is kind of lame. - BG |
|
|
I was unaware that haveing caps on made that much of a difference.
RIFLE7, HOLD Ctrl AND PRESS +. |
|
The two stocks require different length springs. Are you changing those too? Just a thought.
|
|
BTW: FOX is right about not typing in all caps on these forums, it is considered rude.
|
|
Holy shit! It's the first time I've seen anyone agree with Fox~.
|
|
It happened once before. ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=390882 |
|

sorry,about using the cap locks,that was the first time using the forum and i didn't know any better
but to the reader who asked the question,if i was changing the springs,yes i was.any other thoughts would be appreciated,like i said it's not short stroking because it is picking up the next round,also i changed the bolt and bolt carrier and checked headspace but the prolem still persists thanks rifle7 |
|
ok i am confused.
you fire round one. it chambers round 2 and you see a good primer strike but the round does not go off? or are you seeing a light primer strike? if it's a good hit the round should fire. if it's light you may be cycling enough to chamber but not fully cock the hammer. i had that happen on .22lr conversion upper once. it might need a lighter recoil spring. |
|
honestly,i have tried different reciol springs, but that does make sense,not sure how to solve problem ,as all my recoil springs are fairly new
|
|
does the second round have a good primer strike or a light primer strike
|
|
Why don't you just shut the hell up..... For all YOU know in your infinite 14 years of "honor student", spelling impaired, obnoxious, gum flapping wisdom, he could be someone's grandfather and has a hard time seeing the text on the screen. Here's a thought...... How about looking at yourself and your own immature asinine little actions here first, and learn some God damned humility and respect. I know, that's asking a lot, since you obviously have no grasp of simple manners and have shown yourself to be nothing more than a pissy little attention starved child, with a mouth much bigger than the balls to back them up.... I do realize this is an extremely obtuse, and foreign concept for you, but try excogitating on it for a spell, and you just never know what enlightening revelations you might experience. Ohh, and if the big words are too confounding for your massive 'honor student' brain, just go back and ponder my first sentence. That should sum it up pretty succinctly for you. |

Well said, but it will be lost on FOX-. |
|||
|
Reading comprehension, much? |
|||
|
Don't tell me you're defending FOX-. |

|
it looks like a light primer strike,kind of like the round wasn't fully chambered when the hammer let go.so it wasn't a good solid strike on the primer
|
|
not a gunsmith but it sounds like
either the rifle is short stroking. enough to strip a round but not enough return force to close the bolt. or the bolt is dragging on the magazine keepng it from fully going into battery. what kind of mag are you using? does this only happen in auto? the light strike iis probably the firing pin floating in the bolt and not an actual strike. just an uneducated guess. |
|
thanks for the advice ,i have been using colt factory and also usgi clips,its kind of funny that it has the power to strip a round from the clip but not enough power for a good primer strike,i don't know maybe the hammer is not going to the full cock position.yeah i think fox could be taught some respect and manners.
|
|
When you change bto the collapsible stock, are you changing the spring and buffer too??
The fixed stock buffer is longer than the telestock buffer. That could be the problem Mark |
|
i have seen bolts travel rearward enough to strip a round but not enough to lock the hammer back. the floating firing pin wil usually leave a dimple on the next round as the hammer just kinda follows the bolt home vs locking back and hitting the pin.
no way to know without seeing it and god knows i am an amature at best. just something to consider. hopefully you will get some good answers soon. |
|
Looks like that's gonna be the only action you get. |
||
|
Is this some kind of Garand variant? If not, what's a clip doing in your M-16? I think we may have found the problem.
|
|
Any reason why you're trolling this thread? |
|
|
|
I could care less what reaction I get from attacking FOX-. It's no big secret he's not exactly popular here, and I'm far from being his biggest fan. |
||
|
i would say THE_BEER_SLAYER is probably on the right track, as to the malfunction ,i wonder what could be done to solve the problem,one guy i called who knows alot about m-16's said the timing could be off,and told me to try the heavy buffer,but that didn't help,like i say it works fine in semi and full-auto with the standard stock and buffer,but it would be nice to be able to use the collapsible stock and short buffer and spring
