Interesting Frankengun Fail Video

Interesting video seen on youtube today. I am not affiliated with the video, but I merely found it today. It appears and sounds like the gun is a Bushmaster lower with a Stag barrel, (upper receiver??). There was apparently an FTE, that resulted in a broken stock when mortar technique was attempted.

He also has this video of a LWRC firing pin that failed. Interesting:

The guy doing the eval kinda looks like Iraqgunz.

I do believe it is. (Look at the name on the glove)

If it is IG, the gun was in good hands and it would explain how the guy resolved it fairly quickly and ID’d the issue potentially.

Yes, saw this earlier today. Hoss usually has some pretty nice videos. His video getting stopped in oregon for open carry by a couple of idiot cops is an especially good watch.

that video of the stop in Portland was awesome. He did well.

Leave it to Portland! Eastern Oregon isn’t like that! If I can’t find a good class here in Alaska I have seen classes offered near bend. Might be a good reason to go home!

That was me who fixed the LWRC issue.

That was me who fixed the Frankengun issue as well. Personally I was kind of against the mortaring thing since we were in a training environment and I would have rather of tried to clear the issue.

The end result was an older style Vltor stock died on the scene.

I don’t think I’ve been to that range; which one is it?

I love the ending on the LWRC video where, instead of changing mags, he changes handgun. That made my day. :smiley:

I’ve personally never seen a firing pin retaining pin fail like that, question, would that upper still be safe to shoot if he had a spare to pop in?

IG, you could be Chappy’s (LMS defense) twin brother…:eek:

Tucson Rifle and Pistol Club. It out on the Ajo Highway or something.

I did in fact replace it with a Colt firing pin retaining pin and used it the rest of the course.

You got a link?

that firing pin fail was the strangest thing i have ever seen.

eta: firing pin retaining pin…brain fart

Yeah, pretty crazy. Just goes to show anything can go at anytime. Basically bent, fatigued wire. Still not sure HOW it did that.

I don’t know why people hate Bushmaster stripped lowers. If it’s in spec and everything checks out, throw in a quality LPK and you have a lower that’s as every bit of good as any other.

I just think that as soon as he saw the Bushmaster lower it was like he had to hold his nose. The lower wasn’t to blame, it was the piss poor upper assembly that was. That stock had been mugged.:sarcastic:
