AR Inspection and QC Checks (SOTR)

[O4L]

Obviously this would have shown up immediately at the range, but an extreme example of why you should check things out...



First comment is the response from BA.

Another barrel issue. Daniel Defense this time.

I've heard a few here poo poo some brands because of spotty QC but any manufacturer can let things slip by occasionally.

Pretty cool videos, hadn't seen these before.
The guy sure has some extensive tools and test procedures that I've not used. How do they let a barrel go with no rifling? Crazy.

Many years ago springfield armory offered new production m1 garands national match. I ordered one in for a guy and it came in and they never cut the chamber but they sent a nice cloverleaf target. Needless to say they fixed it real quick.

I assume you might catch this (no rifling) when you do your initial clean prior to first firing and the cleaning rod doesn't spin, but wow. I've never seen one like that.

Other than some serious accuracy issues, any danger to the shooter with no rifling in a modern smokeless firearm?

Very informative two part video on this BRO with a lot of problems and the fixes for it.

Well, if it’s a 16” barrel you can count your dogs and kids good as shot, because you now have a short barreled shotgun.

I don't buy really cheap parts so I usually do not have to QC them. If you buy $89 BCGs and BCA barrels your mileage will vary without a doubt.

Yeah, I qc my ars. I hand them to @O4L then I step back.

He still has 1 hand and 6 fingers.
