has any one here ordered a NIB Colt M4 upper from anyone lately ?? in the past year ??
GAWD..! loved every second opening that package that read "ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED"...!
after my adrenalin mellowed out, & i got it out of the packing & down to the plastic Colt bag, oozing wyth oil, i got out my cotton oil rag & lovingly wiped it down, then of course i hav'ta open the bolt/carrier, grasping the charging handle & firmly pulling back.., it won't budge, so i really give this baby a tug, still no release, i inspect for a "TyWrap" or some blocking device, i find nothyng, so i prop this baby on the edge of my well protected pool/gun table, & pull as if i were trying to break it, KerPOWWW !! the bolt come out wyth such force it skinned a knuckle, removing the carier, i inspect it & find the ejector pin was not fully installed & the bolt/carrier was jammed into the barrel extension so damn tight, i was about to send it back, took the bolt/carrier to my shop put it in a jig i made, drove out the broken pin & installed a new one, lubed it wyth Diamond Lapping compound on the moving parts, dropped in the headspace gage, checks good, reassemble it all & put it on my Colt pre-ban Gov't Carbine lower.......!! what a sweetheart !!!
yaa my wife too, she had me order another AR-15 today..., yes a Colt, no other kind is there ???????
