My friend texts me his rifle jammed...

So was he doing this in his house? Thats almost scarrier
Yeah, but to be fair, you'd have to be 3 ways of stupid to ND in the house, and he only did 1. Firearm was at least on safe when he handed me it. And we can charge 30 rounds through an AR every day for the rest of our lives and never ND. Keep on safe + booger flicker off trigger. Sure, 3 is better than 2, and two is one, but also have to be realistic.

At no point was I worried about the round going off. He treats every gun as if it's loaded, even if there's a bicycle lock going through the action.

This is the same guy who yelled at me for flagging him in his closet with a gun he handed me with a bicycle lock through the action.

Edit: not the best phrasing there but I'll let it stay and take my licks.

The jam

How did he manage to do that? I had to beat the piss out of the charging handle back and forth till I finally got it to drop out. The rear pin was so tight I could barely get it to move with a punch and was worried about damaging the pins or lower as it came undone.

And he had the balls to complain about some of the powder coat coming off when I finally freed up the round.
Oh, that's a fun one. Normally caused by a bad spring in the mag, the round bounces out while the bolt is heading back, gets caught as the bolt comes forward.

We'd set those up on malfunction day, almost everything else is drop the mag and rack it. That one, you sometimes have to 'mortar' the gun.
 
You know, I used the exact term "dinged up" and he lost his shit thinking I dented his rifle. I explain that some of the powder coating fell off and we can have it re-powder coated if it matters that much, doesn't cost much to powder coat an upper, and I have all the tools for disassembly. His reply, and I quote, "Oh, why didn't you just say the powder stuff fell off. I thought you dented it up, we'll just put it back on later."

SMH....
Powder coating?
 
You think companies give me credit lines?

HA! I'm the idiot selling a 200k mile 23 year old car where as the rest of you would have scrapped it 10 years ago and called the $400 a win.
Depending on your healthcare, you are not getting antibiotics either…
 
thanks for the education. Anyone know people who will re-anodize his lower?
Do you have a pic of the offending scratch?

Sometimes it’s just some rubbed off metal. Anodizing is hard and abrasive and if you rub something softer over it, it will transfer the metal.

You can legitimately use a pencil eraser to get the embedded softer metal out of the nooks and crannies of the anodizing.

I'll give it a shot. When I was slamming the charging handle with a rubber mallet (and then later a piece of wood) I definitely removed some anodizing. I could see bare aluminum.

Or what you are really trying to tell me to do is add gallium to the scratched up part?
