beefcakeb99 572 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Glad someone else said it after I decided to hold my tongue. This guy went cutting and grinding and drilling without thinking about asking for help first. Just like Jack said... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sport Rescue 245 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Quote from Gunfun... izhmash needs to get their act to gether. they could sell 5 times more firearms if their guns worked 98% of the time out of the box. It wouldn't take any more expense or changes. All they would need to do is throw away all their bits that are not an exact size around .080" or so, and make a jig that clamps to the barrel to hold the drill in alignment and put 5 uniform holes in every single gun. Zero increased cost or labor. 25% less problems. 500% more sales. Done. You forgot "and quit drinkin' on the job, Lay down the vodka for just a bit" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 it's hard to be too critical of the worker's lack of attention to detail when you learn that a regular practice is to be several months late on pay and that they keep changing directors for embezzling reasons. Capitalism and profit sharing would be a good thing for old Izzy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Yes, and no. Yes he added a lot of variables. No trouble shooting shouldn't be too hard. You can check for friction and binding just the same as before. He hasn't really added much work for that part. (although Cobra was right on about adding mass and a potential dust cover interference, and the rest.) You can measure the puck and the gas block and see how much clearance is there. If that is in spec, profile the bolt. Then put stock parts in and test. Add gas as needed. I bet that will be all it takes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sccritterkiller 473 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Big thanks to Shannon and Jack for their outpouring of wisdom in this thread. I have learned a lot. Good stuff there. +1 thanks! I couldn't agree more about the D mod! Still looking for a factory gas block if anyone has one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
