My 1919 story

I bought a well used Firebird 1919 about 14-16 months ago. last year about 10 days before the Pro/Am the bolt carrier broke and took a rubber O-ring on the gas piston with it. called Firebird several times over 2 or 3 days, also tried e-mail. as I recall the message said leave name and # and we get back to u in 2 hours. called Tooth & Nail and talked to Matt and he stated he had none in stock but sent me one out of one of his guns and a new gas piston. well the Firebird being a true custom nothing fit. and I guess the O-ring is a firebird thing.

I got the bolt carrier wielded locally but welds were a little wide. but with some loving taps with a small hammer I got the forearm on. at the Pro/Am the best I could do was show up for my 1st stage then had quit. just felt too bad.

I told Matt at Tooth and Nail I would send him 1919 after the match. well it took me 5 months to ship it. he put his SAS machined lower on it, did some trigger work and put a smaller pistol grip and of course correctly repaired the bolt carrier.

Thank you Tooth and Nail!

still have not been to a match but hope to fix that this year.

also Firebird still has not got back to me.
