AR BCG troubles

[pwoolford]

oh, and by easy to clean for the nitrided bgc, I mean like wiped down and almost all of it is gone. With fireclean it's like insanely easy, although I more often just use motor oil because I'm apparently a terrible gun owner. Cleans up fine.

You aren't alone.

I emailed JSE for clarification about the rather vague email they just sent me. Their response:

"We fixed the issue by replacing the carrier. Under normal circumstances we would have modified the carrier but to make sure we had you taken care of we just replaced it. Out of the 10's of thousands of bcg we have used and sold we have had very few carrier problems. Typically it's a key problem that can be remedied easily without replacing anything. I'm sorry we didn't get this fixed for you last week, but if the weather doesn't get in the way of delivery anywhere along the way you should have it back before your outing this weekend.

In one of my other emails, I had asked to have them send the upper back asap so I could use it this weekend. Maybe that's why they sent it without notifying me, but I still would have liked to known.

When I get my upper back i'll know if the issue has been fixed or not, but as of now it looks like they solved it, it just took a long time, and way too many emails and phone calls.

O.P. if they sent the same carrier back I'll buy you a replacement if you give me the bad one. I have a use for it in my classes.

Thanks for the offer, but based off of JSE's clarification email I don't think I'll need to do that. If the replacement one they sent does the same thing, i'll definitely let you know.

Under-staffed and under-informed support team I'd say.

They likely have a first tier support team who basically answers emails and doesn't know much.

They they have "a guy" who knows tons about AR's but is a pain to work with.

The girls on the other end of the support email hate having to go back and forth with him to get answers cause he poo poo's every customer concern until he can "get his hands on it".



Glad you got it resolved OP, and way to go team, that's why I love this place

The part in bold boggles the mind. How would they "modify" the bolt carrier? Mill off sections here and there until it fits and hope for the best? Seems inconceivable they would hack away at it rather than replace it with a good one and either scrap the old one or return it to their supplier.

I think what they mean is that they would re-stake the gas key, or change out the bolt, or otherwise make modifications to get it to work.

I'm thinking the tail wasn't trimmed. Chucking it in a lathe and taking material off the tail would have made it work. Its what I would have done for him if he couldn't get the bolt replaced.

You are going to start your classes up?

You are going to start your classes up?

Yup, just waiting till I'm done with my work projects to start them.

I have to start recouping my 8k plus investment in all the stuff I purchased for the classes.

LMK when they will be, because I'd like to take at least one class and try to get the better half into at least one of your classes. She is a new shooter.

Seeing as how NTRF is pretty much squared away, what do those classes consist of?

Would love to have both of you. Its geared for the newbie to well seasoned AR owner.

Excellent! Thank you for wanting to do the classes again.

 

[Nottherealfranco]

[Pinecone]

I would be interested in the course also.

 

[lsw]

I am also interested. Please be sure to post details when it's time.

 

[clandestine]

I'll be glad to have you all. Once it's a 100%, I'll pm you all the dates for first seats. I appreciate the interest.

I'd be interested as well.

 

[clandestine]

Anyone who is interested shoot me a P.M. and I'll keep you updated before I start a thread in scotts section. I'm at least not GTG till march. I need a few more things.

 

[roady]

Chad,

As I stated long ago when you were going to do the classes awhile ago I am for sure still interested. I have learned quite a bit from this thread and hopefully all is well when you get it back.

Sounds good to me. I'd like to sign wifey up for a newb class. I'll take one for those "well-seasoned".
