The novelty is gone...3 times out and a fail every time


Recommended Posts

First off let me say I'm not a patient person, If I spent the time with this gun I'm sure I could get it running. I just rarely get time to get the rifles and shotguns out. I've had it out 3 times with a total of 60ish rounds of various types (non of them Magnum) without a single one properly ejected or fed. They either stove pipe or just don't feed correctly (factoty mags) . After the second outing I changed the gas ring and that didn't change anything.

I've just lost interest in this project...If anyone is interested in this send me an email at scarabchuck@aol.com

Try a BR99, They work out of the box.

I could spend the day telling you how rediculous that statement is

 

You can piss in the wind for a life time,

 

My BR99 works, fact.

 

How may people have posted that there BR99 doesn't work?

 

How many company's have to make after market parts to make the BR99 work?

 

People have a choice, MKA or BR99 

 

One runs out of the box & the other doesn't,

Nobody makes parts for a Yugo eitherlaugh.png

 

Everybody I know who bought a Barak sold it ASAP.

 

They are basically identical internally as the Pre-XN model

first of all maybe one out of 5000 people who have a br99 are on this forum.

 

I have worked on the br99 from the VERY first ones imported. I know them pretty well

 the QC on the br99 is in its infancy, the mk has had several years to improve its consistancy

The br99 uses the akdal or (pre-xn) design  (just why do you think it changed?)

The br99 is not yet manufactured in very large numbers, and several independant shops make individual parts

that does not lead to great QC in its self.

 

Most of the parts people manufacture for the MKA have NOTHING to do with (making it work)

every part I have made for the MKA has a counterpart for the BR99.

 

 

you have experiance with ONE count em ONE freekin gun

 

That counts for JACK SHIT

Plenty of br99s have problems

Plenty of MKAs run fine out of the box

 

 

 

 

Lastly....they are both basicly  the same gun

And by the way...THE MKA is not currently imported

 

your first post was just rediculous

Your second is assinine  and I used two SSs in asinine just for you

Tell em' Jimbo…..032.gif

My MKA worked fine right out of the box, but it works even better now that I spent some time on it,and money.biggrin.png

I wouldn't trade my MKA for 10 Saigas…but thats just me.

 

Neither of mine ran 100% out of the box, but a little TLC from Jim and some mag tuning and things started looking much better ;)

I spoke with the UK importer today & asked him for honest feedback on the BR99.

 

1, Shipment's & Spares? -- Regular shipment's, full stock of spares (easy to get)

 

2, Any shotguns returned? -- One (scratched on receiver)

 

3, Any Major parts that have broke? -- None

 

4, Signs of any repeating faults or failures? -- We would have stopped importing if there was.

 

5, Customer feed back (do they work)? -- Feed back has been very good.

 

6, Will you continue to import them? -- Yes, for a cheap shotgun they are good value.

 

This time I spoke to a ORGAN GRINDER not a MONKEY.

 

Only one patch of MKA's landed & we didn't want any more (because they were shite)

 

Jim, grow up you sound like the Hitler of MKA/BR's (a lot of noise & you will loose the war)

Uhh, my XN is still running "out of the box".  I've got so many projects going on that I don't even have all the aftermarket stuff I want.  I'm also almost tempted not to do anything with it except a different rear sight.

 

I have a gob of factory mags too which I plan to upgrade to a higher capacity, all of them...  They all run, bone stock.  The only time they don't run is when I forget that when I tap the bottom of the mag to ensure proper seating, that it messes up the seating and jams the shotgun.  So I train to Tap and then grab and pull down.  If the mag is locked in, it won't budge except for a few thousandths of an inch and that's good enough to ensure proper seating and locking of the mag.

 

The XN worked reliably out of the box for me, I found out it was my dumb rear end that was the issue as I was having to get used to a new design.  It was still in that brief moment of fail and learn that out of the box it was still more reliable than my Saiga 12 which refused at the time to cycle low brass ammo.  I have since solved that issue without the need for aftermarket parts and love my S12 as well.

So, the XN can work out of the box but like every other gun, sometimes a person gets a dud.  That's a Quality Control issue.  Somebody missed one and too many and it may be the answer needs to be an adjustment of the company's Quality Assurance.  Manufacturing can be a pain sometimes...

The MKA is great right out of the box. The only reason I did all the mods to mine was because I don't like polymer or plastic on a gun.(especially a shotgun)

and once I started the mod's I couldn't stop biggrin.png ……but she is all done now and one hell of a neat shotgun. money well spent.

some may be on the ground.... so leme get this straight, the 399 br99 at century isnt a good deal? im late to the party

 

You talking about the centerfire systems deal for $399?  I feel its a great deal for a decent shotgun to "play around" with.  I paid $700 for my first MKA back in the day.  So in comparison the BR-99 at $399 is just a stupid good deal.  I picked up two for myself just in case.......

 

Also, Jim makes a lower for the BR-99 now so if a person wanted to trick it out then thats an option as well now.
