A bit unusual

Student in Carbine class, suddenly had a non working AR, it took some effort, but once we got it apart, found the extractor pin had sheared into 3 pieces and had caused the bolt to bind inside the carrier. She was using factory brass case ammo, and the gun had between 300 & 400 rounds fired. When the gun stopped it appeared to have a double feed, which it did in addition to  a non ejected case. It took some effort to get the carrier into battery once we cleared the double feed,  then we couldn't get the BCG to retract, even with motaring, so I broke the gun open, and removed the BCG and found bolt full extended and not moving, field stripped carrier, but had to tap bolt back into carrier to remove cam pin, then found bolt was most solidly stuck in carrier. Using a vise and a long roll pin punch that fit the tail of the bolt was able to get the bolt out of the carrier. Once the extractor pin was replaced bolt and carrier appear to work fine.

Steel or Brass?

A Comparison

I usually try to avoid using steel, every time I have, I've had feed & extraction issues. Although I have seen some AR's run great with steel case ammo.

Contrasts in rulings

United States Vs Miller 1939
On March 30, 1939, the Supreme Court heard the case. Attorneys for the United States argued four points:
1. The NFA is intended as a revenue-collecting measure and therefore within the authority of the Department of the Treasury.
2. The defendants transported the shotgun from Oklahoma to Arkansas, and therefore used it in interstate commerce.
3. The Second Amendment protects only the ownership of military-type weapons appropriate for use in an organized militia.
4. The "double barrel 12-gauge Stevens shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches in length, bearing identification number 76230" was never used in any militia organization.

2nd District Federal court
upholds ban on AR-15's due too:
The Court found that the undisputed facts in the record “convincingly demonstrate that the AR-15 and LCMs banned by the Act are ‘weapons that are most useful for military service.’

Choose wisely

2018 elections

I urge everyone to turn out for both the primaries and the election, they are coming at us on the state levels, and we need to get the right people in office to block any attempted bans.

I'm of the opinion we should try to elect as many new faces as we can, since they haven't yet drank the tainted kool aid

But 
these could turn out to be the most important midterms yet..
