Dear WLS
Little Wang Big Heart - What's up fellas. I've been on a PCC kick lately. It'll mostly be a fun gun but would also like it to fit in a bag for road trips and what not. I would like to hear some options in 9mm and 45 acp. I will have a suppressor on it and want to shoot subs. Budget is around 1k not including accessories.
Mei Hung Lo - A few weeks (possibly months) ago you talked about the reap bullpup chassis for an AR lower. I was wondering if you have seen anything about the triad modular bullpup chassis? Which do you think is better? Thanks
Hugmuffin Actual - Dear Esteemed and Learned Gentlemen. I'm building a collection of firearms that were abysmal commercial failures due to shitty design, dangerous functionality, or corporate lunacy. I already have a USFA Zip .22 and I'm looking at a Taurus Curve. What are some other truly horrendous firearms from 1900 to today that would be acquirable for under $500? As an Australian, I call pretty much everyone a cunt as a term of endearment. As such, Jeremy is Genuine Cunt. Wishing you all rainbow sparkles of happiness. Hugs, Hugmuffin.
Tom P - Hello all, My question is for mostly Jeremy, why so much hate for the .445 (6.5 Grendel/7.62x39/6 ARC) bolt size. I know in 2010 there were some bolt issues, however, by now there are really well-made bolts that do not fatigue and break at nearly the rate as the old ones. Sure, the chance is slightly higher you have an issue, but the advantages of those calibers outweigh that. You just... look at it for wear issues when you clean the gun. I think the right advice is "If you want to run those calibers, buy a quality bolt" not "It`s a weak bolt and it`s going to break".9130 bolts are usually the way. REXUS UltraBolt is a good example.
Daddy From Cincinnati - Daddy From Cincinnati: Hey guys, this might come out a little long winded so I apologize if Aaron has to read this one. I am curious about what you guys would do in my particular situation. I won a Remington 783 in 6.5 in a gun raffle a couple years ago. My first trip out with it I took a box of S&B and my first shot blew the bolt up. Extractor fell out the bottom and bolt was lodged and couldn't be moved. Apparently I'm lucky I don't have a bolt stuck in my face according to some of the other people I was at the range with. They saw a big puff of smoke come out of the back of the gun I guess isn't supposed to happen. Who knew. I sent it back to the shop that held the raffle, they sent it to Remington, put a new bolt in and sent it back. The casing was split all the way down the side. I sent an email to S&B and Remington about their ammo being too hot or the gun out of spec. No one exactly seemed to care. Anyway, the next year I won another 6.5, a Savage this time. I took both rifles out. I still had the box of S&B but also bought some new stuff. I shot both kinds out of both guns. The S&B still split in both guns. The extractor detent came out of the Remington again and I ordered a new one and replaced it. Of the 20 rounds out of the S&B, I shot 16 of them and 10 of them had split casings. My question is: should I take this to S&B harder or does none of this matter and I'm overthinking it? What would you guys do? Ultimately I have plans to dump both of them anyway and get something better like a Bergara or Howa or even just a better Remington.
Thank you guys, love what you do.
