  1. A couple days ago I had a customer named John come into my auto parts store. We talked for a few and told me about his Military Surplus Store in Sussex NJ. Its called Platoon Army Surplus, (973-209-4750) John doesn't deal with firearms but he has everything else you can think of. Med kits, gas masks, pants, shirts, manuals, helmets, boots, etc...He also buys surplus as well. I will definitely be going back up to get some more things for my bug out bag. Here's his address go check it out! 1214 Rt. 23 Sussex NJ 07461. Just wanted to give a heads up about this place!!


  2. no offense but if your AR cant shoot federal then you have serious issues... that is such an AR common ammo..

     

    i know federal is a common ammo, just wanted to see if anyone else liked something better. I am not a expert on ar's was just reaching out for ideas thanks for the help.


  3. I was flipping threw the channels this afternoon waiting for dinner when i came across a show called Family guns. The Show is about a son and father who buy and sell military clothes, guns, etc under the company name I.M.A . I was suprised to find out that they are from Gillette NJ. The one thing that had me amazed was there inventory. For instance, two of the workers went out to a quarry and were shooting a M1919 Browning machine gun!! In NJ?!? Anyway the show is pretty good and there website has some neat items on it (http://www.ima-usa.com/). Has anyone else seen the show or have stopped by there shop and looked at there inventory?


  4. Nickjc and I went to the range this afternoon to try and solve my ar15 issue. We swapped parts around and came to the conclusion that it is a ammo and mag problem. I am buying a new buffer spring and mags then i will go from there. I guess the two mags i have are no good.


  5. When you took the spring out, did the spring get caught on anything other than the retaining pin that holds the buffer in? It sounds like either a lack of gas, or the BCG isn't traveling all the way back (possible roll pin obstructing the spring/buffer). Take it out again and look into the tube and make sure its clear. Also, put the lighter buffer in and see what happens.

     

    When I removed the buffer spring i had to help it out but it was never stuck in the stock. my next day off i will install the lighter buffer to see what happens.


  6. First off thank you for all your replys, The mags i have are as following. 10 rd steel pro mag, 15rd/20rd pin pmag, also tried it with 30 rd p mags that a friend used in afghanistan. I have a heavy buffer in the gun now that i bought from BCM and i have the original bushmaster buffer that came with the butt stock as well. I removed the buffer spring and measured it, 10 3/4 inches long. I believe that is close to the minimum length but i could be wrong. Thanks again for all the help everyone! You guys are great!


  7. I thought there was a issue with the feed ramp so i had him polish it. None of my friends shoot, the only one that does is in afghanistan and i wont see him for a while. I was going to do what you said with trying another ar and swap parts to see what the issue is. Also I have tried pro mags,pmags, 30rd mags and they all do the same.
