[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cheated death for another day!

Posted: 7/16/2002 10:41:56 AM EDT

I took the Bushmaster 20" to the range over my lunch hour. While I was there I shot 220 rounds of Wolf (gasp) 5.56mm ammo. It was fed by a Sanchez (gasp) 30 rounder with a black (gasp) follower!

Jeez, from what I read on this board I was glad to get back to the office alive!

I guess I'm just lucky. I didn't experience a kB... or even a single feeding or extraction problem.

Wow! I can't believe I cheated death for yet another day. And, oh yeah, I picked up yet another case of Wolf while I was there.

Nor have I had any problems with Wolf, although how much I spend on cleaning supplies went up.

Good cheap stuff, but I only use it when, for whatever reason, I can't get Lake City, since I can reload LC. But when I make a snap decision to run to the range, mmmm.....$5 a box.

My black followers also work great 95% of the time, but I'll get around to replacing them.

The day isn't over yet.

Don't be such an optimist.

Yep, you might get a "gasp"....feeding problem. More than likely though, the rounds will cycle right through.

Steel cases are shyte.. but in reality you will probably never have a problem. Most of my mags have black followers which will be replaced when someone GIVES me green ones.
