how does one actually tell if a part is made in the usa?
The internal parts I've seen have a little "US" raised on the steel. Sure its a technical formality, but look at it this way, you're replacing good parts with better parts!
i have seen things advertised as made in the usa but not engraved would those still count or should I look for things that are engraved just to be on the safe side?
I prefer the parts that say USA or made in the USA on them. As long as you've got the receipt though it shouldn't matter.
All of the Tapco stuff says made in the USA on it.
Cobra 76 two,
I used my tiny little hobby files to widen the trunion just a little. I could get the bolt to go past the first part of the front trunion but could not get the lugs to lock.
I figured out that my bullet guide was too wide on the right side, so I dremeled it way down. Then I could get the lugs to lock but it was tight. had to use a rubber mallet to get the bolt back open by banging on the bolt carrier handle.
Then my bro bead blasted the inside of the front trunion. I just got it back from him a week ago. everything seemed to work, but the bolt still gets wedged forward tight when I load a round. I oiled the heck out of it and put a 10 round chinese mag in and blasted away. It ate any ammo I fed it after that.
The bolt still sticks a little when I let it slam forward but it works! No failure to eject and no jamms!
