Isn't that just a pistol version of their rifle?  I think TheCrow use to have one IIRC?

Probably.  It uses mostly M-16 components.

Can you verify that the bolt is cycling completly to the rear?  If you've changed mags and still have that problem then I think it's safe to assume you can eliminate that from the list.  I would suspect a dirty gas system or something along those lines that is causing the bolt to short stroke.

what kind of ammo are you using(brand ect.) because my friend was having a problem with his Garand, and it was his ammo. you might have a dirty gas cylinder. or an entirely bad part. tr taking it apart completely, then give it a try.

You most likely already checked these, but in case you haven't -

Is the magazine well clean? Does the magazine fit securely? Is the bolt traveling back far enough to grab the next round? On your bolt carrier group, the extractor, is the tiny spring in good working order?

Failing that, you might try:

Yep.

  Clean mags.
  Completely stripped down and cleaned the entire bolt assembly.
  Made sure the slide was lightly oiled and the gas return is clean.
  Have tried multiple different ammunition from Wolf brand to military surplus (SS-109 etc.)
 
  Sell it?  No way.  It was willed to me by a good friend who passed away last year.  I'm keppin it.  ;)

  I will check out the website thou and see if that helps.  I may have to bite the bullet and take it to a gunsmith thou.  :(

Reaver, does the bolt have gas rings on it like an AR15?  If so make sure the gaps are spaced out to prevent blow by which will cause short stroking.  The rings could also be worn to the point of not providing a good seal and need replacing.  Check out Bushmaster's site for spare parts if you haven't already.

I'd love to get my hands on it and check it out.  The closet I've been to one of these is one I saw in a gun shop up on Cave Creek Rd a couple years back.  It was the version made in Austrailia though and they wanted $1,200 for it.

I can't say for sure Harley.  My experience with M-16 style bolts is pretty limited.  As a field medic, I'd shoot the guns and let the Marines clean 'em.  ;)

I'll take a look again when I get the chance. :)

For those with real steel experience
« Reply #13 on: June 03, 2004, 11:09:15 AM »
I have this interesting gun http://www.biggerhammer.net/armpistol/ and it is having issues not feeding rounds properly.  Often times it misses feeding the next round.  I've tried new clips and completely broekn down the bolt assembly and cleaned it.

Anybody have any experience with this model?
