A little history, a friends son asked me about putting a rifle together for him(college student) so he wanted lower end so I sugested PSA. Well he picked up a FN chf carbine length upper and a psa lower and PSA lower parts kit. I put it together back in may I function checked to ensure everything was GTG.

Well fast forward to present, he contacts me on friday saying it all the sudden shoots like crap. So I threw out the usual questions about cleaning maintenance and scope mount but assured me he cleaned it properly. Well I had him meet me at the range today and I immediately broke the rifle down checked the bore, checked the scope and mount over completely everything looked fine. I took a mag of known ammo and fired 3 rounds and got a 3 foot 2 shot group(not sure where the third one went) well i figured that hey it may be the scope so I pulled my burris off and fired 3 more well now it shoots about a 5 foot group. I turned to him and asked what in the hell did you do that you haven't told me.

Now the story starts to come out. He say's he did a torture test by putting it in water for 5 minutes then he let it drain for 5 minutes and fired it. I'm like well you probably ruined the barrel, well he says could it have been the mud because the water he put it in was the Red River.

I then checked the bore over a little more and noticed a shadow up by the muzzle, so i removed the muzzle brake which took alot of force(more than usual) but the crush washer wouldn't budge. I get to looking and now you can see a slite bulge right at the muzzle which was why the brake took so much force. Hey what do you expect from an A&M grad.

oops shouldn't own guns.....

People should also title their threads correctly

Sounds like a typical Arfcommer.

I'm more worried about somebody who uses the word "well" that many times in one anecdote than the novice gun owner making a mistake.

Im guessing he spent more time on the "A" side of campus than the "M" side of campus

"Hullabaloo, canek, canek".... still a mystery
