  1. Have you taken it apart and made sure there is not any dirt or some other obstruction to them mating up? Other than making sure the barrel is flush up against the receiver and the mag nut is gorilla tight, I don't know.

    I suppose it's possible that one side or both is slightly warped. They are OEM, not FFT?

    Well, I finally received the Noveske QD plate after 2 months of waiting for shipping. Something to do with the Covid BS.

    Anyway, I disassembled the stock sling plate assembly and upon installing the QD plate I noticed the hole for the stock retaining Stud/bolt was larger. I had to place a washer behind the QD plate so the stud/bolt would work. Not a problem but wasn’t expecting that.

    Overall it worked great.

    Glad you got one! You mean that the plate was not threaded for the bolt? It was just a hole? IIRC, the ones I have are. The stock retaining bolt threaded into them I'm sure.

  3. I really can't answer your questions but may add to the mystery more.....mine is a early-2014 made gun that Robar did as an H2O version and it was purchased in California with the fixed pistol grip stock, not a C-stock or fixed C-stock but it has the 3 position tube.

    I'm away from home at the moment so I can't look at the box end that I kept which has the model# on it.

    Anyone have a fix? I just took a class today and my M4 cap kept loosening up despite my tightening it down hard. Am I missing a trick? 

     

    Personally, i think that they just do. No matter how hard you crank the cap down, after a hundred+ rounds, it's not gonna be as tight as you had it before firing. I posed that question here a looooong time ago and people were like; "huh", whaddaya mean? I never notice that". Then over time more people have posted about it.

    So maybe it's just the gun or maybe I don't know but, I know that it happens.

    I think it's possible that the ball detents on the cap could be cut just a wee bit deeper? They are pretty shallow cuts.

    Some advice given has been to push the barrel tight up against the receiver before beginning to tighten the cap as opposed to just letting the cap as it screws down take up that last 1/8" or so before the barrel is flush against the receiver. 

  5. I don't consider myself qualified to recommend a particular weapon to anyone for self defense but, I will mention one thing though. Not implying anything here, but trespassing, or theft, or breaking into cars are not grounds for shooting a person, EVER.

    I only mention it because it seems from your post that those are the things that have got you thinking about purchasing a weapon.

    StrangerDanger's posts in this thread is the best advice.

  6. Not really a PITA to PPT in Ca. Buying is another matter.... have to broker thru an FFL, usually a local gun shop of the seller's choosing. He gets his money up front and the buyer has to wait the ten days which has expanded to anywhere from two weeks to three weeks because of the current backlog of processing. If the buyer fails the background check, it's up to him to straighten it out.  The buyer is usually the one who pays all fees. But that can be negotiable between the two parties.

    I agree about selling a firearm, Iv'e regretted any one Iv'e ever sold unless it was to finance the purchase of one that I wanted more.

    OP;  calguns.net forum would be a place you could put it on the market. Lots of guns are bought and sold and there is a lot of traffic constantly.

    But my advice, if you're not in dire straits, keep the gun.

    My shoulder already hurts just reading this.

    What will happen if I just regular slugs through it, e.g. Federal 2 3/4" low recoil tactical loads? Will my gun not break in?

    I lean on the side of not overthinking things like this. But as it is meant to explain I think is that it's better to start off not using the very light load stuff until the gun has kind of worked it's way in.

    I think you should be just fine using the load that you mentioned above for "break in." 

  8. Never done the job myself and don't plan to. Maybe you did make an error installing the spring causing it to slip.

    Curious, why have you been removing and installing the latch many times? Seems to me that, that in itself would not be a good idea for that particular part.

    It’s funny, I have family in LE, they have never heard of this 922, believe me.. I asked. 

    922R is a rather obscure FEDERAL statute. So it's likely most LEO unless ATF would never have heard of it.

  10. I was just thinking about how the parts in the trigger frame interact with one another and Something came to my mind.

    When I was a young kid there was a game/toy called "Mousetrap"   LOL.

    Anyone old enough to remember it?

  11. Yeah, what they said.:) Only specialty tool needed is the snap ring pliers. The plastic gunsmith's block is very helpful also. 

    The A&S trigger housing or frame (if you prefer) is a very nice part. 

  12. I'm a fan of the padded version of the Magpul MS1 and run them on both of my SG's. I bought a BFG sling and did not like it. I found it to be a very stiff and abrasive material to the skin.

    As far as pinning it to the opposite side of the buttstock, it's very simple. If you run the rear on the same side as the front in 2 point mode slung across your body, the buttstock will roll away from your chest instead of holding it close and flat against your body.

  13. You mean like maybe you bent one or both of them? I wouldn't think so. Do they still slide back and forth normally? How do the exposed portions of them look to you?

    Also remember, there are channels in the receiver that the pistons need to slip into when inserting the barrel extension into the receiver. The receiver is aluminum and the pistons are steel so I would think that if anything got buggered up, it would be the receiver but, don't go there yet.
