"Sorry Mr Taliban...My rifle is hot. Let me get my golf bag full o rifles out so they don't get hot. I guess I shouldn't have burned through 9 magazines in 15 minutes shooting at you fella's." A combat load out for my tours in Afghanistan was 21 magazines loaded. Plus 3 bandoleers. It doesnt take long to go through a training load out of 7 magazines in a firefight. And most firefights with small arms are short in duration. Guns get hot fast. No spare bolts. No spare extractors. Never had a rifle go down. Properly built, maintained and lubricated guns generally don't go down. Properly built/vetted guns should run a three day course just fine. 41V50 non resulpherized and certified 11595E steel in barrels is used because it dissipates heat the best. For 11595E certification it has to be in 2 inch rounds. 2 inch flats and the like. Palmetto with their nitrided barrels I'm sure are running 4150 resulpherized crap. That why they are so inexpensive. Breaking of firing pins and triggers aren't a thing with properly built guns. These are symptons of not having proper firing pin protrusion. And proper headspace. Just slapping a new bolt without proper headspace is asinine. This is why bargain AR15's are junk. Especially with super over gassed guns. Why have a gun that you have to change buffers in for the ammunition that your shooting? Colt M4's and civilian 6921 and 6920's are overgassed with their proper .0625 gas port diameter. But you can run these guns with traditional baffle stack cans without having to re buffer the system. With hot proper pressure 5.56 ammo. Every manufacturer worth a sh*t is setting guns up to be suppressed. Guess who isnt? Palmetto and that ilk. How many Palmetto gun vids. Yours included are running a can? Not many. So you basically are buying three $500.00 Palmettos. $600 dollars worth the spare bolts, extractors, buffers and the like. When you could've bought a Colt 6920 Trooper and a spare Colt bolt. For $1,200. I'm not saying you have to buy a Gucci Geissele, Knights Armament or any of those guns. There's plenty of good guns out there. If your disconnector is breaking. It's the disconnector spring taking a set. Or is weak to begin with. If you would source your springs from JP/Colt/BCM and the like that wouldn't happen. Again...Palmetto is garbage. They don't care what they are selling you. They wrap themselves up in the flag. Telling how they want to arm every American. And the Rubes eat that sh*t up. If you are buying range toys I get it. But in the long run, a vetted system is going to be actually be better on the wallet. I've built my life around weapons. As a 18 year old kid I slept with a M16. Learning everything I can about the system. Been a KD marksmanship instructor. When the Marines started developing their flat range courses. I was a Guinea pig at SOTG. Along with being a 8541. I was on the M14 and M39 DMR programs. Along with the SR25 program when Scout Snipers adopted that. East Coast Marines deployed with the SAM-R's. We West Coasters were using the A4 and ACOG as our DMR cause the M39 weighed as much as a M249. And the M14 DMR was a piece of crap. The M14 in general is a piece of crap. We noticed that Mk318 was pretty accurate compared to M855. So in conjunction with the A4 and the ACOG. It did pretty well as a DM platform. Even with the crappy burst trigger and the A4 not being free floated. I digress.
Greatly appreciate your feedback.. I very much value different points of view based on different experiences.. I had not thought that the disconnector failure might just be because of the spring. I still have the ones that failed, I'll try switching the springs.
@@absolutegunrights3079 Colt gold extractor springs both 4 coil (SOCOM upgrade kit.) Or the Gold 5 coil. Colt springs are generally stronger springs. Those springs will generally outlast the bolt. People tout Sprinco springs because they won't take a set like others. Same with JP springs cause they are chrome silicon. But they will rust. So you have keep a dry film lubricant on hand for buffer springs. If you lube your bolt. You shouldn't have any problems. I have rifles in Mississippi and I generally run stainless action springs. You won't burn up a action spring running semi auto like you would full auto. Trigger springs. ALG defense used to have them on their site. They sourced them from the same vendor Colt does. BCM as well. JP makes a good aftermarket spring. Been seeing 24 coil ejector springs popping up. The TDP spec is 27 coils. There's a guy Peter Egger on TH-cam that bought 2 Wilson Combat BCG's with short ejector springs. I don't know who Wilson is using as a OEM. But their QA/QC sucks. Supposedly a high end company. I don't just bag on Palmetto, Aero or BCA. There's high end companies I dont like as well. Noveske and Daniel Defense are at the top of my list. Marty Daniel is a queef. And Noveske stuff is super overgassed. Plus I'm not a fan of billet 5.56mm guns. A lot of two and three gun guys run Noveske. They have really accurate CHF barrels. Not a huge fan of LMT or Knights. To many proprietary parts. And the cost is ridiculous. Same with DD and Noveske. The biggest killer of bolts isn't the bolt getting hot. It's the M4 standard upper getting hot and flexing. Causing bolt lugs to shear off. There's fixes. Jim Hodge redesigned the M4 standard upper 3/32nds thicker with Mega Arms along with the seating of the barrel in the reciever. Both SOLGW and Sionics use uppers cut to this spec. Eric Kinsel of BCM and formerly of Vltor he developed the BCM Mk2 uppers and the Vltor MUR. Before that Knights, LMT designed proprietary bolts along with LWRC. For the M4 PIP program. It wasn't a bolt problem. It's a upper reciever problem. When they cut that carry handle off. They removed a ton of the stiffness. I tell people a Colt if you don't have a lot of money. That 6920 Trooper is pretty descent for the price. If you have the money BCM or Sionics. Or a DI LWRC. You can find those for under $1,300 at times.
@DutchK75 I have a Colt 6920. I got it for about 1200 back around 2012. I only put about 500 rounds on it just to test it. Quad rail, light. Optic. That mostly stays in my house. That's one of the SHTF guns. I have done a few videos on it in my channel. I only shoot that one a few times a year since I have so many other ARs to burn through. You posted a lot of good information above. Thank you
