    In talking about the primer difference between commercial and military, I had an experience with this about 23 years ago. While shooting bulk ammo I purchased for my SKS I hadn’t realized there was a few Winchester factory rounds on a few of the stripper clips. Upon loading and the bolt closing it slam fired 4 rounds like full auto. The range master was pissed until he saw the look of shock on my face as well. Thankfully, I had good control of the rifle and all rounds went down range “safely” into the backstop. Pay attention and be careful.

      Totally different gun but my grandfather had a WWI Luger go five rounds full auto like that on him when we were at the range many, many years ago. My granddad wasn't banned from the range but that particular pistol was and the range officer wanted to speak to the gunsmith who repaired it before it could be used there again. No harm done but the story got told a lot over the years and I'm still telling it a long time later! Scary stuff.

    Floating firing pins on military rifles are extremely common, while it may cause a slamfire it's exceedingly rare. The real reason you don't want to load directly into the chamber instead of from a magazine is causing undue wear on the extractor having to jump over the rim.

    You will also see light primer strikes in all free floating firing pin design like the AR/M4's. Check your primer when you release the bolt on an AR15 and you will see the same thing as classics. This is one reason why we teach and tell people not to chamber the same round in an AR15. Chambering the same round multiple of times can lead to the round going off.

    Great info thank you! I believe I get the science of it. It would be nice to see the difference between and internal and I assume an external extractor. I’m thinking an external is as on a Glock. I have a newer 1911 so now I’ll have to look into the mechanics of it. I have herd it said that you should load the chamber from the mag then extract the mag to top it off. Now I know why. This could account for people who say there gun jams with certain ammo. Ammo I’ve never had a problem with. Perhaps they have damaged their extractor.

  • @JD-tl7ld
    @JD-tl7ld 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Single loading directly into the chamber of an M1 is a totally acceptable manner of loading them in Highpower. Especially for your prone slow fire.
    ARs will also dimple the primer, and directly loading the chamber is also acceptable in Highpower. Some of your long range 5.56 loads will have bullets so long (because their heavy), that they cannot be loaded from the magazine.

    • @FadingSwordsman
      @FadingSwordsman 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The safest way to load those (singly) in an AR is to slowly release the bolt and use the forward assist to get it over the round's rim, rather than using inertia. I've found that's the most consistent way to avoid bumping non-cannelured bullets ever so slightly out of place, and get more consistent velocity that way (The biggest difference I've seen is ~50 fps, dropping the bolt from the back with the below method).
      Don't have a forward assist because you're a fan of Clint Smith or James Yeager? Lock the bolt open with a magazine, place the round in the chamber, and drop the bolt using the release. The empty magazine should help slow things down enough that you shouldn't get an ND.

      When I got my colt 1911, which has an internal extractor, I probably did that drop into the chamber once or twice. I later found out that was a no no. My used gold cup came with a light recoil spring that was bent. When I changed it to a 16 lb standard one , it wouldn't cycle the swc ammo that came with my gun. It would cycle good for 230 standard ball; but I had to get a 10 lb recoil spring for the target ammo that my buddy gave me with the gun. Luckily parts for 1911s are easy to come by.

      There are exceptions to this, however as a rule any corrosive ammunition will cause damage. The corrosive primer combined with heat and humidity, causes the rusting process to begin immediately. It's the same principal as black powder. However, in very moderate cool, climates, where their is very little to no humidity, the rusting process is greatly reduced. I've fired black powder matches and other than a patch down the barrel not cleaned them for a few days, up it the Washington state area. However, where I live now in Louisiana, the rust starts almost as quickly as when you chamber the round, the humidity and heat here can destroy a gun pretty quickly.

    You never want to accidentally slam fire a semiauto. Dropping a round directly into the chamber and then closing the bolt is never really a good practice, especially on older platforms with no mechanism built in to prevent slam firing. If you want to carry it with a full mag plus one in the pipe, load one round in the mag, chamber it, then pull the mag and load it.

      Once a live round is out of the chamber its not going to cook off...a cook off is caused by the heat of the barrel setting off the powder. Its really only a problem in a machine gun. A slam fire is caused by a floating firing pin being flung forward during loading and having enough inertia to set off the primer. It can also happen if the firing pin is stuck forward for some odd reason

      AR platform rifles have a floating firing pin. Any way you close the bolt (except riding I closed slowly, which will often cause the round not to chamber properly) will cause a slight dent in the primer. It's usually not a problem, but if we practice the 4 rules of gun safety, even if it is a problem, there will be no injuries.

      @manlyadvice1789 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm somewhat of an SKS guy. I've heard of this a number of times. If you're the one to clean out the cosmoline, you need to fully disassemble the bolt, soak it with a solvent, and ream it out with a pipe cleaner or something like that. Once all the sticky stuff is out, you won't get a stuck firing pin (unless you add an aftermarket firing pin return spring). All you have to do is jiggle the bolt back and forth to make sure the firing pin is free to move and you're good. Also, berdan primers are your friends.
