Daddyoh3 1 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Was at the range range with a friend and his son. The son was shooting, and I warned him "those are big rounds be careful"....1760 fps rifled slug 3". first 2 rounds no problem...next round jammed on the upper lip of the barrel. he pulled the bolt handle and the round fell into place and slid right into barrel. Now understand the kid is 14 and I've never trusted a word out of his mouth. But, this next round scared the holy shit out of him and I don't know what to believe. He said he didn't double tap and the gun fired twice....and into the tracks above. More confusing....the bolt handle broke off. I'm not familiar enough with this gun to know if the gun can do that on its' own or is he lying to me? is it at all possible that using high power slug could cause such a double tap? Also need to mention this gun is the one by Leeder arms not actually mka1919. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flatland Shooter 22 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Is it possible the heavy recoil caused a flinch resulting in his unconsciously pulling the trigger? The MKA 1919 in stock form is pretty light for 1760 fps slugs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james lambert 3,059 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 NEVER shoot 3 " shells in a 1919 Yes they are SUPPOSED to shoot them, dont believe them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeLogic 3 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Sounds like a bump fire. 308 can bump fire with a soft shoulder. Have you seen the handle? Did it shear or just pop out? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 NEVER shoot 3 " shells in a 1919 Yes they are SUPPOSED to shoot them, dont believe them Coming from a guy who sells them etc., I take that seriously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daddyoh3 1 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 WOW...good to know about the 3" rounds. As for the handle...yeah, its broke, I found it. Already got a new one coming from Matt along with a new light load spring. Hope everything fits...it isn't mka 1919 it's leader arms ar12. But there is another thread about how similar they are. Maybe this will help see how close. As for the boy...maybe he was to scared by the bump fire to realize that was what happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toothandnail 275 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 While we don't shoot 3" very often, I know several guys who have over 1K rounds through theirs shooting only 3" All they do is shoot hogs, 3" 00 buck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AR12 0 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I had a Remington .22lr that used to double-fire all the time. Never quite figured it out. Bought a Ruger 10/22, solved that problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
