Thanks! I’ve seen videos where bolts and firing pins break... now I’m sure these shooters were shooting more than just .223 but still.
So, after the election, I thought it was a good idea to have some basic spare parts on hand going into 2021.
Thanks... yeah I saw that the SA was M16 so I bought a M16 bolt as a spare.
But that new bolt, with tons of lube on it, was struggling to fit that SA carrier. I’m on the waitlist for a bcg to go with the new bolt but I was hoping the new bolt would slide right into the SA carrier.
So this is a stoopid question but I can’t find answer anywhere....
Does Springfield sell bolts and bcgs as Saint replacement parts? If not, can I just buy any ole M16 bolt and stick it in my Springfield bolt carrier?
I may or may not have bought a M16 bolt and may or may not have been able to...
Hard to do when you’ve got boobs. At least that’s been my experience with this technique.
It is better than only relying on slingshot from a locked back pistol.
Carry on.
I would get me another barrel that works and not worry about the serial numbers matching... I would rather do that than change up my ccw ammo.
It takes so little for a gun to hate a certain ammo. Bullet shape, length, ramp design, etc. If one thing is off, it could mess up everything. I swear...
I typically carry in an AIWB holster in summer and in a holster built into a jacket pocket in the winter. I have also, in the past, used a holster that attaches to my bra. It depends on what clothes your wife and daughter typically wear and the size/weight of the gun they choose to carry...
I used to carry in a purse when I first started out... and that ended when a boyfriend and his buddy showed me how easily the purse could be ‘separated from me’. It took me a total of 2 seconds to realize how the bad guy now had my keys, my Id, my address, my money, and my loaded weapon. I’ve...
If you ordered directly from SA after June, I think a good estimate is 4 months after order placed.... at least that’s what happened with my order and one of my buddy’s orders. So if you ordered in July, it will probably trickle in next month.
You might try a bolt scraper. I know RealAvid makes a good one. Its a curved scraper. Otis also makes something similar but I think it’s more expensive.
I haven’t had good luck with that chamber brush bristle thingy. I just use Otis tools and swabs.
But for some reason, I’ve had WAY more problems with carbon cooking onto the bolt waist than carbon in the chamber.
