For disassembly, isn't there supposed to be a pin to help me get out the mainspring? It's not in the box.

I just ordered this tool. Not sure if the gunsmith here has one (if not that makes me kind of leery).

What's strange is that the cylinder is easy to open and close right now. Maybe fouling/debris...

That's impressive. See that's what makes me wonder if it's not just a fouling issue, lots of people shoot thousands of rounds before cleaning without it causing any stickiness issues. But maybe it's...

Thank you for the recap. I'm going to have my local gunsmith GP100 guy take a look at mine because I'm afraid of messing things up, but it sounds like it might just be fouling or something. Dry...

Maybe I'm misremembering, didn't you have to disassemble the gun to see the unburnt powder? Or was it just sitting under the extractor star?

Update: I don't know if it matters, but the issue presented itself after shooting a few cylinders worth of recent production Winchester Silvertip 145gr .357 Magnum. I had put off using that ammo for...

My only aluminum-framed S&W is a bog standard 642 no-lock. As it is, I only have 90 rounds through it, and I'm not even sure what suffices as a "vetted" round count for them. I hope it's good to go,...

My interest in a reliable, durable semi-auto .308 is more in the context of an all-around rifle than purely a fighting rifle, to include hunting of medium-to-large quadrupeds. 5.56/.223 can do the...

I have to wonder if maybe I should try my hand at a S&W 686 or 627… with all the GP100s I’ve bought over the past 2 years they’ve all developed some sort of thing going on with them. The 7 shot had...

Understood. I’ll see if I can get an RMA

Then if someone wants a reliable and durable .308 semi auto (reliable and durable on par with a 5.56 AR), what are the options?

What about bigger bore cartridges in AR15s such as .300 BLK (not...

Just curious, would you be willing to have me ship it to you? Tried to send a PM but inbox was full. I’m probably going to send it back to Ruger but now that it’s seemingly not doing it anymore I’m...

What should I be keeping an eye out for during inspection?

I see many saying that .308 ARs are not as reliable/durable as 5.56 ones. Does this also apply to ones like the LMT MWS and HK MR762?

On my old Remington 870s with factory stocks, short stroking is something I have great difficulty with. The 590 with the SGA stock and thin kick-eez buttpad has helped a lot with that. I did...

I'll call Ruger tomorrow. Only thing is, now the cylinder is acting normal, but it goes back and forth between being sticky and not. I don't understand what's going on.

I'm concerned Ruger would...

Here are two pictures from while I was at the range when the cylinder wouldn't close. Keep in mind this is different from when it's difficult to open.

Also, I'm fiddling with the...

I will post pictures later, I couldn’t see anything that looked like a burr on the extractor detent or on the recoil shield, but I’ll take another look. I’m not even sure the cylinder gets far enough...

Don’t HK and Glock use MIM parts in their current duty guns that work just fine? I don’t understand the problem with MIM specifically with SIG but not other brands. They’re just about all filled with...

I’m not sure I understand. What looks like a trap?

The front cylinder lock moves freely, it doesn’t get far enough in to interfere with anything when the cylinder is being difficult to close. I...

Ok. I’ve never disassembled a GP100 but will attempt tonight. Doesn’t the round count (no more than 1100 using almost always jacketed ammo) seem a bit low to be encountering this normally since I...

Yesterday I was shooting my trainer HK45C at speed (my shot timer's batteries died though!), and it seems I too was holding down the slide release on the left side, or at least my thumb was close...

Thank you. Thanks to your advice I did indeed set up my 590A1 with the SGA stock, no spacers, and the thinner kick-eez buttpad. For over 500 rounds since I got it, I had never short stroked it, it...

I have not. I didn't think it would need to be detail disassembled at this point, and I'm not sure how it could cause this. For over a thousand rounds it's run fine without being detail stripped, and...

I have a Vang Comp "Standard" Mossberg 590A1 with a bit over 500 shells through it. A mix of buckshot and birdshot. Up until today I've always relatively slowly and deliberately pumped it and haven't...
