An AR Pistol
Stop gap to the SBR game. My troubles started from time of my receiving of the 7.5 AR upper. I had ordered this online from a company who I had done business with in the past. Since I had been running a 16 AR upper for over 1000 rounds from this company I felt I trust some more of their products.
Well upon opening the package first thing I noticed my heart sank, no lo-profile gas block with carbine length handgrip that I expressly paid extra for! So immediately I get into touch with them and then have wait another week to before I have it back in hand in the configuration I had hoped and paid for!
So I promptly hit the range, 3 weeks later. Hoping all the hype and wait would exceed my expectations I squeeze the trigger as I bring up my sight picture down range. After the first shot is off I to see a double feed from the first shot as well as the case being stuck in the chamber. The case looked over expanded the rim was sheared off by the extractor. What was the problem, so I clear the jam and start to fire again 1 more shot, same problem. I take a few more shots after that same story I was so crushed.
7.5 AR upper is sent back to the company with a similar explanation and the few casings from the test firing I had done. I then receive the upper back promptly and I feel that my troubles are over boy are we just in the thick of it! I get out to the range this weekend and start to the fire the pistol I get clean fire, extraction and ejection of the first 3- 5 shots then I start having no extraction at all. My 7.6 AR upper has now become a single shot pistol with no movement of the carrier after each shot but nice smooth extraction and ejection of each round when I use CH.
What shall I do with 7.5 AR upper that I want to work so badly? Do I just keep sending it back to see if my problems get fixed or should I just scrap the pistol? I could just make another carbine, but I really would love to have a short-barreled AR of sorts. Is there a barrel length out there that works in a pistol platform while being concealable?
I need the help of the NWFA community ASAP thanks!
