I had my first ever slamfire at the range today with my AR15. I just put a new light bcg in last week and it ran fine for a few magazines. I reused the old bolt though since it was broken in with this barrel already. Not a high round count gun but I know I have at least a thousand rounds through it. I also made sure to clean and lube it well after changing parts.I was finding my new gas setting because I emptied the buffer and I usually load one round in the magazine at a time to do this.The bolt was locked back with safety on. I had it pointed down range and without touching the trigger when I used the bolt release to chamber the round the gun fired. I'm also using the standard milspec spring and am waiting for a reduced power one. I've got a CMC single stage drop in trigger.What are some things I can look for to try and diagnose this? I've already tried banging the stock on the coffee table to see if the hammer falls to no avail. I did a funxtion check without the upper on and nothing jumped out at me. Just to be extra sure I cleaned out the firing pin channel again. I was using armscor 223.
>>64970981Slamfire into your skull next time
>>64970981Never heard anything about Armscor but ARs do dimple the primer when you close the bolt on any 5.56. Is it possible that you somehow got a fucked up lot of ammo with soft primers instead of harder/military primers?
>>64971012>seething>>64971027armscor is pretty cheap but I've never had an issue with it before. I suppose it is possible, I didn't think to look for the casing at the time.
>>64971027They can't be soft enough to just go off like that unless there's something out of spec in the gun
>>64970981>i emptied the bufferLast time I checked, the buffer assembly is the tube stock, piston, and spring. You're full of shit.If your weapon fired by simply chambering a round, your weapon is a piece of shit that you probably "built" out of garbage parts. >banging the stock on the coffee tableSounds about right. You are a dumbass who should be arrested for being too stupid for having weapons.
>>64971109Where did I say buffer assembly?>last time I checkedaka>a minute ago when I googled AR buffer>tube stock>pistonwho even uses this nomenclature when talking about a gas operated AR you dumb brown third world nogunz retarded faggot kek.post a single gun that you own lmao (you won't)
>>64971190different anon.ok so let's sum this up>I'm running ultralight everything on stock spring>I even made the buffer weight just a plastic case>why did my gun go blam when it shouldn't?Well it should have, and did, because you fucked everything up.don't come here and blogpost about how stupid you are, use the internet and read about how an AR type system works. Nobody here should suffer wasting their time trying to explain it to you.
>>64970981its ok anon, slamfires are a normal part of gun ownership
>>64970981No buffer weight and a light BCG means it went into battery way faster than designed. Floating firing pin impacted the primer harder than normal. Bang! Might want to look into a titanium firing pin if you continue to test with the same methods again.
>>64971213>different anonkek>you fucked everything uplike what?>use the internet bro>no not the image board specifically about weapons>trying to explain it to youIf you can't because you don't own any guns and have never touched one just say so.
>>64971243Thank you, that makes sense. My reduced spring should help too then so the bolt is returned with less force.
>>64971258You are a waste of breath.
>>64971301>still hasn't posted gun>still impotently seething
>>64971363You don't even have the wherewithall to fucking read about your own self induced problems, you're a waste of breath.>oh no I'm getting called out and it makes sense and he's making me feel self conscious and shame>better use the meme insults!Bro every mistake you made is in your own posts for the hundreds or thousands of people who browse /k/.You are fucking dumb.
>>64971372>gets outted as nogunz for not knowing what a buffer is>can't back anything up beyond parroting kneejerk vague "user problem" at attempt to fit in>you're a waste of breath>keeps replying anywayAbsolutely starving for (You)s
>>64971449Ok retard.
>>64970981>I had my first ever slamfire at the range today with my AR15.No you didn't. Post bolt carrier group disassembled.
If it only happened this one time over >1k rounds I wouldn't worry too much about it. Slamfires can happen due to a faulty primer.But just to be safe make sure the bolt face is clean and dry (there should be absolutely no residue of oil, dirt or any fluid on the bolt face or in the firing pin channel. Verify the firing fin is free floating (wiggle the bolt, you should hear it). And make sure the firing pin tip is not damaged.
>>64973303>>64973364So the inside of the bolt shouldn't be lubed then? I typically clean my guns after every other range trip but I'll take another look. The pin moves pretty freely. Can the oil on the bolt lugs migrate to the bolt face?
>>64973449One. Get a new bolt carrier. That one is shit and I'd bet it's out of specTwo. I don't know what retard anon is on about but I've shot colts mil issue m16a2, M4, colt ar15s, custom ar15s, budget built at 15s. Every one of them I've run sloppy with oil with zero issues. Get it wet wipe it down with an oily rag and run it.
>>64970981Ah well yearh you modified the gun. Ya know. Thus keep loaded guns pointed downrange at all times and keep you chamber clear and mag dropped if you are not ready to shootAlso for all you handloaders with bolt actions, remember to give ammo time to cook off on a misfire before you cycle the bolt
>>64973449Your parts should be sloppy but not dripping with oil. Having too much oil is actually counterproductive because it will collect dirt and increase friction instead of reducing it. In extreme cases residue building can cause the firing pin to lock in forward and cause slamfires. But by the looks of it it's probably not your case.Again, it's very difficult to diagnose because it only happened once and there is really no way to tell if it's due to a firing pin issue, BCG issue or ammo issue. I would change nothing and see if it happens again, if so then the BCG is probably the issue. Since you did not change the bolt, I see no reason for the headspace to change, it may be the increased velocity because your new carrier is lighter.Did you check headspace ?
>>64973548I typically run my ars wet like bass pussy and they always ran fine like that. I could see how it getting in the firing pin channel could potentially be an issue though.What way would you suspect it's out of spec? I'm just curious. >>64973559Yes I'm aware modifying the gun can lead to issues, you don't really learn too well how things work when you just sit on the computer and read things all day or keep everything factory.That's why hayne's manual quarterbacks are typically contained to car video comment sections for example.>>64973590I'm thinking increased velocity as well. Significantly less mass on the same spring rate with a free floating pin. I didn't think headspace could be a factor when using the same bolt unless maybe it's sitting at a different depth due to differences in the carrier. I don't know if that's a thing or not. To answer your question though I haven't checked headspace.
>>64973752Important question : when the gun slamfired, was the hammer released ? If yes then your trigger group has an issue.
>>64973975I can't recall but the safety was still on and I want to say the hammer didn't fall because the selector was still all the way on safe.
>>64973752your empty buffers and bcg is so light its acting like a striker.why the fuck did you think it was acceptable to empty a buffer?
>broken in with this barrelAs an armorer of ten years this hurts my frontal lobe and made me stop reading immediately Slamfire into your head next time and save me the trouble
>>64974024>it's ackshually le heckin extension>I'm an armorer>impotent seethingI can smell you from here.
>>64973998Why would I need to retain the same weight to move a lighter carrier? Is this the part where you mention bolt bounce?
>>64974086Are you retarded? Why do you think the buffer weight is what pushes the carrier?
>>64970981nigga u eatin... THREE slices of cake?
>>64974078Take a good whiff, that's what not being retarded smells likeAgain, just take your own life and save the rest of us the time and the breath you are wasting oxygen the rest of us could be breathing
>>64974086Nta but what do you think the buffer weight is for?
>>64974144>>64974184Probably to maintain the inertia and kinetic energy required to chamber the next round after the potential energy in the spring has been depleted to move the carrier. I might be wrong though, I need a big brained ten year strong e-armorer to tell me why I need a boulder to move a pebble for a gun I use for fun.>>64974158Instead of getting this angry and bitter because nobody takes you seriously, perhaps you should just step back and take a breath. Don't worry I'll shoot my guns again and make another thread so you can drop by and get laughed at in that one too.
>>64974238You argumentatively fight back on people like you have something personal to prove,The reality is there is an obvious problem caused by what you stated from off rip.Grow up or shoot yourself in the head, I don't care which.Real life isn't your coddled everybody-happy-time ultra pozzed PC school babysitting bullshit. Get over it, fix the problem everybody is saying you caused, or fucking kill yourself with your own rifle. I don't care whichm
>>64974238Wow everything you said was wrong
You're all sick people.I hope you all get cancer. Fuck youse all.I put a curse upon you all.Fuck yamudda
>>64974269>nooo I'm allowed to be an insufferable faggot for no reason and you gotta play along with my larpStopped reading after that. You can get fucked. I'll see you in the next thread I make after shooting some pop cans or something.
At friends apartment at college. Just bought my first pistol from a gun show (I was 18) Drinking with friends Show them my new Sig P320 ND into celling Upstairs neighbors too high and drunk (underage and illegal drugs) to call the police.Second time>At range Showing friend pistol Think gun is unloaded Point at ground show him how to wrack and pull the trigger. Forgot loaded mag in Shoot between his feetThird time>At parents house. Just bought another P320 from a guy Get home Try swapping slides with another sig I had Forgot the other sig slide was chambered. Pull trigger Shoot parents wallFourth time>At my new house Playing with a friend's P320 Legion Release wlide Slam fires round into groundFifth time>Showing a friend how to use it No idea how but a round got chambered Show him how the trigger works, Pull trigger Shoots round into floor in the same place as beforeSixth time>Thought maybe the house was haunted Grab a sig Physically clear it, (racked the slide 3 times) with no magazine in pull trigger at the same holeRound goes offSeventh time>Friend brings over a used P320 wants me to look over it I grab it and pull the trigger without clearing it Didn't even realize the thing was loaded.Eighth time>Friend brings over his police trade in 320 He's showing it off to me I put a loaded mag it and decided to try and release the slide Pulled the trigger for some reason a round into my wallOverall you shouldn't feel too bad about NDs. It's part of owning guns, and you should get used to them.

>>64971012Don't be jealous of OP's slamfire anon
>>64974308Buddy there's like 7 or 8 different people who have said to point it at your skull. I'm trying to be nice by explaining to you why.I'm probably only 1 of two or three people who have cared enough to give you more than one reply.Welcome to the internet.https://youtu.be/k1BneeJTDcU
Slamfires are just part of using a firearm. If you aren't getting slamfires, you're not shooting enough.
>>64974516He's just trying to avoid buying a good muzzle brake
>>64971213>made the buffer weight just a plastic caseYou've never touched one before have you.Post any gun with timestamp.
>>64974715There's one person and it's you. Post a timestamp gun picture, anything at all.
>still sperging outHoes mad. Hoes mad!https://youtu.be/vuRNoBOkDzY
>>64974950whyeven if somebody posted a gun you wont listen.multiple people have called you retarded and explained what happened and you double down. you should have asked elsewhere if you werent prepared to be called out on your self inflicted idiocy.
>>64970981>Five cakesCare to share the recipes?
>imagine thinking there us such a thing as "breaking in" guns
>>64971234>slamfires are a normal part of gun ownershipIt has already been posted. Good.
>>64975966If you buy brand new yes, doesnt matter for any used guns that have gone through some rounds.
