ASK ME HOW I FREEKING KNOW???!!!
out with the kid the other day with his "loaded " arrington super duper match and my UBERED TO HELL/ARRINGTON SOCOM-16, beaning the living POO out of objects from 300-500yds iron sighted. just having a freeking ball calling out targets and vaporizing them out in the middle of BFE.
we freeking broke the fun barrier and even impressed the hell out of ourselves.
and suddenly...................the DREADED "CLICK" on my socom-16!
WTF HAPPENED???????????????????????
my extractor and extractor spring went into LOW LUNAR ORBIT! what a SOB to try and find. after what seemed like hours finally found both of them.
severe BUZZKILL and DE-PWESSION(depression) set in..............and STAYED!
came home, put extractor and spring under magnifying glass. no nothing to point a finger at. WTF????
finally called phil arrington and i went over to his house and he replaced extractor and spring with USGI parts.
i had already waded thru all the internet moron explanations, and i felt it was a poor springfield part.
NOT!
was shooting rem 180gr corelockts. anti grizz ammo.
found out powders are DIFFERENT than what is CORRECT!
hotter powders COMPLETELY FUBAR M-14 GAS TIMING!
