Firearm Forum Question: What's the Difference Between an Open and Closed Bolt

Ask A Firearms Question:

Can you please tell me what the difference is between a Closed and Open Bolt? 

Thank you Louis Lewis.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

Yes, the primary difference is whether the weapon is firing in a semi automatic mode (the person pulls the trigger each time to fire one round through the weapon), or the weapon is full auto (when the trigger is pulled and held the weapon continues to fire until empty).

Generally speaking an Open Bolt weapon such as a MAC10 or Uzi is a full auto weapon (fully automatic, i.e. Machine Gun).

The Closed Bolt weapon is generally a Semi Automatic.

The following two YouTube Videos demonstrate an Open Bolt Weapon Firing in Full Auto (Machine Gun).

YouTube Video: Demonstrating Open Bolt Machine Guns for Beginners -

YouTube Video: Firing the MK 46 Mod 1 Lightened SAW -

Commentary -

Although Full Auto Weapons (Machine Guns) may be fun to shoot, they are a waste of ammo.

==> My recommendation is -
Avoid owning full auto weapons.
If you plan on purchasing a full auto weapon do your homework. A Federal Tax Stamp and other provisions are required.

Firearm Forum Question: Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Case on Firearms, a Win for Anti-Gun Supporters

Ask A Firearms Question:

Can you share any information on the recent Supreme Court ruling banning certain types of weapons including assault rifles? 

Thank you Benjamin R. Suncrest.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

The U.S. Supreme Court, currently short one judge, ruled on Monday, June 20, 2016, in a split decision 4-4 that they would NOT hear an appeals case banning Assault Weapons passed in Connecticut and New York.
This puts a serious blow to Gun Owners.
It allows the laws passed in Connecticut and New York to stand, at least for now.

This decision comes just after the Orlando shootings by an ISIS follower and born U.S. Radicalized Muslim.

The Connecticut weapons (gun) ban was passed after the Sandy Hook Shootings by Governor Dannel Malloy in April 2013. Expanding on an earlier assault weapons ban in the state, it banned more than 100 types of firearms along with magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a similar ban in New York.

This is a serious blow to Gun Owners and the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, The Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Anti-Gun Liberal loons are just thrilled with themselves. President Obama said. "This is a start but does not go far enough."

Not covered in the news, it does, however, support the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution concerning States Rights.

IMPORTANT: This is why this years presidential election is so damn important. If you are a Gun owner or plan on becoming a Gun Owner or someone in you family is a Gun owner you cannot allow Hillary Clinton to become President of the United States.
Reason: The next president will be appointing new judges, possible as many as 3 to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The democrat agent is to abolish the 2nd Amendment and take away everyone's guns, regardless of what they say. There methodology is to slowly erode your gun rights, and they have been very successful since 1928. In short, Liberals never pass up the opportunity to create havoc among voters by using a tragedy to expand their Liberal agenda.
The First Amendment gives us the Right to Free Speech and Religion, but remember the Second Amendment insures the First and all others cannot be taken away by an out of control government.

Firearm Forum Question: Alternative Method to Purchasing or Owning a NFA Weapon

Ask A Firearms Question:

It has come to my attention that a person does not have to purchase an NFA weapon from a Licensed FFL but can in fact build their own, is this true? I am considering building my own Suppressor.

Thank you Johnny Come Lately.

Published for Readers Information and Content Only

Not a Legal Opinion

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

Yes and No, depends on the weapon or device.

But to your specific question about Suppressors, at the moment, Yes, you can build your own but you will need the approval from the BATF/ATF first, and still pay the $200.00 Tax Stamp.

Be careful, you cannot build the suppressor or weapon first, then get approval, You must submit on ATF Form 1 a request to build the device. A simple sketch must be submitted. When approval is granted, you can then build the weapon or device according to your sketch, specifications, and parts list. When approved, you will receive a Federal Tax Stamp, that you sent a money order for $200.00 with Form 1 and your sketch.

Form 1 can be filed as an Individual, Gun Trust, LLC, or Corporation.

Here is the LINK to the ATF Form 1 online:

https://www.atf.gov/file/11281/download

Form 1 also includes AOW, any other weapon.

Example: You modified a shotgun or rifle that the barrel and/or overall length is less than permitted. You can fill out a Form 1 and pay the $200.00 Tax Stamp.

Important: If the device does not work, you can not build another device without another submittal and an additional $200.00 for a new Tax Stamp. If you are NOT sure what you are doing, avoid this, at minimum contact the ATF and ask any questions before you start.

Very Important: It is illegal to own a Machine Gun or Machine Pistol (fully automatic weapon). These require a special FFL License and a Tax Stamp for each item.

Also, see this LINK about Suppressors -

http://askafirearmsquestion.blogspot.com/2015/02/firearm-forum-question-what-you-need-to.html

Commentary -

If you have a question on an AOW, Suppressor, or any of the Forms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 do not hesitate to call the local ATF office for guidance.

==> My recommendation on Building a NEW Suppressor is -
to Avoid this, just buy a Manufactured Suppressor through a Licensed FFL in your area.

Firearm Forum Question: What Does it Mean When a Firearm Discharges Out-of-Battery

Ask A Firearms Question:
What Does it Mean When a Gun Discharges Out of Battery? 
Thank you The Patriot Train.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
This is when a Firearm discharges (fires) when the slide or bolt is not fully closed. This can result in the firearm exploding sending shrapnel flying everywhere injuring or killing the user (shooter), and any bystanders to close.

Firearm Forum Question: Buying a AR15 308 NATO Assault Rifle

Ask A Firearms Question:
I am seriously interested in buying a AR style .308 caliber rifle, cost and quality are factors. It must be Mil Spec.  So, what are your best recommendations of all the available brands? I've handled several at small FB shops and even big box stores and it is a bit confusing.
Thank you Bob Cooper.

Commonly used Assault Weapon Weights ....

The AR 15 308:
DPMS 308 NATO ....

Armalite Sporting Rifle DEF10, 308 NATO ....

Bushmaster XM-10 308 ORC, 308 Winchester 7.62x51 ....

About the AR 308 NATO Platform ....

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
When choosing the AR 308 it is important to remember that there is a difference between the 308 Winchester Caliber and the 308 NATO (7.62x51mm) Round. Make sure you always purchase a platform AR firearm that can shoot the 308 Winchester, which has a higher pressure. This allows you to use hunting ammo and avoids any mistakes in loading the wrong cartridge that could result in a damaged firearm or personal injury. Before purchase, consult the AR Manufacturer and make sure the 308 Winchester Cartridge can be used.

As for the question, which 308 AR to choose, my recommendations are as follows:
1) Again I must stress if you are determined to buy a 308 AR Platform make sure it will accept the 308 Winchester Round.
2) These can be quite costly depending on how you outfit them, i.e. Picatinny Rail accessories; optics / scope; sling; bi-pod; magazine capacity; number of magazines; etc.
3) You may want to look into a USED AR 308, many of which have all ready been outfitted with a variety of accessories, you can generally save 20 to 50 percent on cost over a New purchase.
Some places to look for a Used AR -
** GunBroker.com
** Phoenix AZ backpage
** Local Pawn Shops
4) I suggest going to various gun shops, holding different brands of AR15 308's, look for how it feels to you, watch out for heavy weighted front end weapons.

==> As for a choice if I were buying a 308 AR new or used my first choice would be a DPMS.
Armalite and Bushmaster are also good choices.

Personal Note -
I am not a fan of the AR 308 NATO Platform assault rifle.
Better choice is the AK-47, 7.62x39mm. You can generally buy 2 rounds of AK ammo for the price of one 308 NATO round. The AK shoots any brand, is reliable, and the number one choice of assault rifle around the world.

Firearm Forum Question: Review and Testing of the CAI 7.62x39mm AK47 Centurion Model 39 Assault Rifle

Ask A Firearms Question:
No question today ...
This is my personal 'Review' of CAI (Century Arms) Model 39, 7.62x39mm AK-47 Assault Rifle.
Here are some photos of my CAI AK-47 Model 39 ....

Specifications ....

Answer / Review:

Blog Administrator -
I purchased one of these late last year. Unlike most AK-47s these CAI Rifles are 100 percent made in the USA. They are Mil Spec.
The Model 39 I selected has a black synthetic stock with a forward picatinny rail and front and rear iron sights.
The AK came with one Black Tapco Polymer and six Black Steel Korean 30-round magazines. The total cost of my AK was $650.00 including tax and shipping and handling from J&G Gun Sales in Prescott Arizona.

I upgraded my AK as follows:
1) I replaced the standard dust cover with an original Russian Dust Cover and Rear Rail Mount, and added a 3 x 9 Scope, see pictures above.
2) I added a Black Forward Grip with Bi-Pod. 
3) I have since purchased two Black 75-round Romanian Steel Drum Magazines, and two Black 40-round Polymer ProMag Banana clip style magazines.
4) I purchased one Black Fieldline Tactical Assault Rifle Case from Wal-Mart.

This AK-47 Rifle has two downsides.
1) Because it is 100 percent Mil Spec the bottom plate under the pistol grip has been modified and reinforced therefore a Bum Fire (Slide Fire) Stock will not work on this particular model.
2) The front mounted Picatinny Rails are short so using any heavy optics or scope is out of the question. I tried several optics but they all make the rifle front heavy. A lightweight Green Laser mounted on the underside of the picatinny rail would work fine.

My primary compliant about the CAI AK-47 Model 39 is the Rear Sight Adjustment uses an alan wrench, which was not furnished with the weapon and it is an odd size. I also had to soak the alan screw for about 3 days in WD-40 before it would loosen and turn, the main reason I changed out the dust cover and added a rear scope. Almost everyone who buys this rifle has this complaint and notices that out of the box it shoots off center and needs to be adjusted. I would recommend to CAI changing to a larger Alan Screw and including the alan wrench with the purchase, a small cost factor for a great firearm.

Below is my Target sighting at the Indoor Gun Range of the CAI Model 39 AK-47 with Iron Sights at 35 Feet:
Right at of the box the CAI AK fired way to the top left as shown, with adjustment it shot to the upper and center right. It took only 15 shots to get center.

Below is my Target sighting at the Outdoor Gun Range at 50-Yards (150 feet) with the CAI Model 39 AK-47 with a 3 x 9 Scope mounted on a Russian Dust Cover and Picatinny Rail:
Scope was off slightly shooting up and to the right as shown in upper target.
Two adjustments and it was hitting dead center as shown on the lower target,

In Testing the CAI Model 39, AK-47 Assault Rifle I have tried all kinds of ammo and the weapon shoots flawlessly without jamming or issues of any kind. So far I have about 650 rounds through this weapon.

Types of 7.62x39mm Ammo Tested so far: TulAmmo; Wolf Hollow Points, Wolf FMJ; Wolf Jacketed Soft Points; Yugo Brass Cased; Arsenal; Remington UMC; Winchester Super-X SP Hunting Ammo; and Red Army from Ukraine, FMJ and HP (highly recommend the Red Army FMJ, my favorite). 

I Rate this American Made CAI Manufactured AK-47 as a ... BUY

Firearm Forum Question: Battle Axe Attachment for the Picatinny Rail

Ask A Firearms Question:
I was told that someone makes a Battle Axe Attachment for Assault Rifles with Picatinny Rails, is this true, and who makes it?
Bet it's good for Zombie Killing.
Thank you Jimmy Joe Bluebaker.

Tact-Axe, Battle Style Axe for your Picatinny Rail:
Mounted on a Typical AR Type Assault Weapon ....

 Mounted on a Tactical Shotgun ....

 Mounted on a Glock Handgun ...

 Oh Yeah, Battle Ready, Bring on the Zombies ....

Answer:

Blog Administrator -
Yes someone actually makes a Battle Style Axe, it's called the Tact-Axe, that fits onto a Picatinny Rail. The seller, Melee Mods, claims it attaches to most assault rifles, shotguns, and handguns that have the rail.
It is mounted on the underside of the Picatinny Rail.
See the pictures above.
The purpose, according to the seller, is when you hear that 'Click' sound and you are out of Ammo, the Battle Axe comes in handy to save the day.
Personally, that's why I have a Bayonet for my AR15.
