Diamonds Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hi guys, I was shooting steel case through my AR10 and a shell got stuck. We got the bolt to release but it took the entire bottom off the case and now the rest of the casing is stuck in there. 2 questions: 1. Can someone please assist me with the removal? I need to get it ready for next weekend. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Pics would be helpful. Myself and my unit armorer will be at my place for the rest of the evening. If interested, PM me and I can send you my address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Mojoe, that is an awesome offer. I did take it to the powder room, they said it will be done in a few days for 10-15 bucks, thanks though, really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Upside down air duster to see if you can freeze it, causing it to shrink. P.S: quit using steel case ammo in a tight bbl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did take it to the powder room, they said it will be done in a few days for 10-15 bucks, thanks though, really! Given how they run their range, I'd be scared to have it there. I'd wait a month for Gun Envy to have an opening before leaving it there. I can have the builder at Gun Envy look at it for you rather than have it at powder room, if you like. Just saying, if you're going to leave it with someone, a builder is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustlestiltskin Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Buys AR10, runs steel cased ammo through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I have had zero issues running steel through my various low and high end AR15's... And will continue to do so. The title of the thread was not "tell me that I shouldn't run steel case ammo". Your opinions on it won't sway me one way or another.

Diamonds Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Didn't know what double or single action meant in February, now is a seasoned gun vet. I was unaware that I claimed that title for myself. Do tell...? I believe (in my last post) I spoke about the copious amount of steel ammo I've run in my AR's and that I would not change that. Never claiming to be an expert. Hence the thread asking for help. For the record, I do not claim to be a "Seasoned gun vet". You tried to label me with that self proclaimed title. Remember that.... Do me a favor, look at the gun crew forum and see how many threads I make in search of info and help. Then come back here, and tell me why you seem to think that I think of myself as a "seasoned gun vet". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustlestiltskin Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 But hey, thanks for your useful contribution in my thread where I asked for help....... Here's something useful for this tater thread. If you have the funds to own an AR10 then buy decent ammo to shoot through it rather then shit bucket steel cased garbage :thumbup: I'm not trying to be a dick but everytime I hear about something like this happening on an AR platform it seems to be based around somebody shooting steel cased ammo through it.

1fast5gp Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Use steel ammo they said, it will be fine they said........ I'd listen to Joe. Gun Envy will be able to get it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun's done, cost was zero dollars. But I do like gunenvy a lot... they seemed to be backed up a bit. Have fun at BR today!!! You want to go next Saturday? we have a group of like 5 people going.

Diamonds Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 What bbl are you running? Taken from CMMG website. "16" 416 Stainless Steel, 1:10" Twist, 5/8-24 Threaded" Here is the link: https://www.cmmginc.com/product_p/38AEA9A.htm Barrel is marked .308 Called them (CMMG tech service) before ever shooting it and asked what I could run. They straight up told me I could run .308 and 762NATO... I questioned that... and they assured me it was perfectly fine. The ammo I was using was the .308 herters yellow box (or TULA as someone said its rebranded). I have also heard that 308 is a higher pressure round than 762 NATO? is this true? If so, that seems backwards to the 223/556 debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 It's crazy that you posted that! I have read that article and the results. It tells me that it's much cheaper to shoot steel and replace barrels than shoot brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 ....The ammo I was using was the .308 herters yellow box (or TULA as someone said its rebranded). ... Were you able to run enough rounds through your AR10 to determine how accurate the ammo is? I haven't seen any comparisons on this stuff yet.

It tells me that it's much cheaper to shoot steel and replace barrels than shoot brass. Yes, that is true for most ARs out there. I have a 600 del-ton AR that I just have to plink with steel ammo. But the crap will never touch my LMT CQB, LWRC M6A2 SPR. But remember, those tests were done with some cheap bushmaster chrome lined barrels. You have a SS nitride treated match barrel, don't see the point of shooting cheap steel just to save a few bucks. Do that with a cheap 800 dollar AR10 and not a 2000 dollar ar10. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 not until I get 300-400 rounds of brass down the pipe to break it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
