I'm gonna have to get one of those stocks from Matt. The gun looks great man.

mine does the same thing, guess i didn't put enough angle on the ports i added. it was a 24" gun i cut to 18" so i added 2 ports, after about 200 rounds i have to use a dowel to ram the puck out.

i bought one of your 24" guns and it had the rail

clean mine after every time out, i get a good bit of plastic in the block...guess i didn't put enough angle on the ports i added

i've got 4 agps with no complaints

did some shooting today...smooth and fast like you said, even put a buffer in and still cycled 100%

figured i'd give a little update to this, took the railed forearm off and swapped back to the stock one and no more cycling problems. guess i need to clearance some more on it, might de-hotdog it as well while i'm messing with it.

how it came packaged i am extremely happy with the outcome and Matt's customer service. big thumbs up for C&S

here's my bolt from c&s how it came packaged

my carrier group turned out awesome i got a hd op rod installed as well as a galil charger, both of which turned out perfect. Matt also media blasted my carrier and the finish was exactly what i was going for. rather than pinning and welding the op rod he used a roll pin, the welding can cause it to lose temper and become weaker. the roll pin method definitely seems superior imo. i can't say enough good things about the way Matt handles business, i recommend C&S to everybody. can't wait to get it back together and do some shooting. i'll have some pictures up tomorrow

i'll post some more pictures in here whenever it gets here. but the picture you sent me looked great.

A single sided drum config like that would be grossly unbalanced I would think. One thing for a rifle mag with much lighter ammo but that many rounds of shotgun on one side would be way out of balance but who knows. probably so, but i just saw it as a way around the magwell...but i don't think there's that much weight difference between 90 rounds of 5.56 and 20 rounds 12 gauge

there was a problem with photobucket earlier everything looks awesome, ready to get it back!!!

could this design be a way around the magwell depth issue? http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=23282/Product/AR_15_M16_90_ROUNDER_reg__MAGAZINE still early in the game but worth looking into

Matt just called me and assured me things were going to be done very soon, excellent customer service. He is also a firefighter and was deployed for the tornado which is why he hasn't been online or in the shop. That combined with the sick raccoon just put him behind, so if anybody was having any concerns that's what has been going on.

any update? ready to get back shooting

considering shotguns shells are plastic and somewhat flexible, i don't think there is any issue

yeah, glad i did a decent job on the hole i put in it and didn't deface the forearm too bad

well that didn't fix my problem the only other thing it could be is that my light polishing of the carrier and guide rails is adversely effecting the action well hopefully c&s' work with my bolt and fcg gets everything sorted out

Will do, but I was wanting to see if I am getting any FTEs as it is too...Can't check for that without blasting a drum or two I'll have it heading your way monday.

I'm sure Malcom would be much obliged

Haha, believe me I'm ready to get it to you. Just had some cycling issues last time I was out and want to make sure I have it remedied.

sending mine in soon, had some issues with my gun and need to take it out again and get a baseline for before and after your work

getting drill, brb...thanks for the write up, i'll post back with results next time i shoot. i'm pretty confident that this is my problem so lets hope this resolves it here's the outcome, came out pretty good can almost get the the same bit i used to drill it into the gas block...mainly just went by evl's pic from his thread

cut and paste it here, it should be good info for everybody imo
