AR Stripped Lowers In Stock $69

[gjohnsoniv]

Well the lowers are good for that. I wanted to build another AR as well, not so much now.

 

I figured you were but thought I'd toss that out there just in case.

Was the kaboom with reloads? Or could it have been a squib?

 

How did the bolt and carrier look? If either were damaged in any way then it was a ammo or squib issue, not a polymer issue and aluminum parts wouldn't have made a difference.

 

The reason I ask is the bolt is already locked by the time the firing pin is able to strike the primer. Even a partial lock up is not enough for the firing pin to strike. So for me it is a over pressure issue, not a out of battery issue.

 

If AR's had out of battery issues there would be a lot of slide fire stock owners that would be getting hurt.

 

There is not enough pressure by the time the bolt unlocks to cause all that damage unless there was a problem with the ammo or a barrel blockage. Even if the bolt carrier were to be blocked there would still not be enough pressure to destroy the upper and lower. Yes it might crack the lower at the buffer but not blow the upper and lower up.

 

BTW, I have a polymer lower on a 20" gun. I have about 400 rounds through it now without a single issue. I still have the polymer FCG.

A woman with such a heavy accent called today, took three tries before I could understand she was calling from PSA.

 

Turns out my FFL apparently needs to renew with them or something.

 

She got the numbers mixed up and called me instead.

 

PSA has had a LOT of service probs this year.
