It seems lately that I can't win with my guns. 2 times a year my gun club has been having a machine gun shoot and I supply the guns for it. June 2nd is the next one (Click here to see the tread on it) and I have been going over the guns I'm taking to make sure they are cleaned, oiled and don't have any issues with them. I have been finding a few broken parts that I have to replace to get them to run again.
Today I was cleaning up my Romanian AK-47 and the recoil spring assembly broke. The wire spring guide that is inside the spring broke and all the parts went everywhere. Looks like I can get just the wire guide by it's self, that is good. This same gun I had to replace the dust cover because it broke. In the picture you can see what broke
The PTR MP5 Clone I have the bolt carrier mushroomed where the firing pin and bolt go so it was hard to get out and I can't get it back in. Had to order another bolt carrier. I guess some of the clone bolt carriers are soft and it happens to a bunch of them. also it didn't like the mags that came with it, they kept falling out. Had to order real H&K mags, they fit much better.
The Mosin Nagant "pistol" I made, I went and test fired it and come to find out it was missing the extractor. Had to order one of those.
The FAL that I have broke the gas pistol spring in half. It didn't look heathy to begin with.
I bunch of other guns, stuff needed to be tighten again. I'm sure it doesn't help that the guns are mostly doing mag dumps. It seems that machine guns are in a constant state of brokenness or are about to break. After the shoots it seems like it's a good day when you only a few guns broken.
