Some have asked if the start of the 249 project means the 240 project has been paused or abandoned.
I like to think that working on two projects simultaneously can inspire creativity to improve one or the other, and in rare cases, both.
The 240 project lives on.
@PatronisFL@JimmyPatronis Thank you for having the courage to introduce this piece of legislation. I hope the DOJ will withhold an appeal on SS vs ATF and all support may be put behind HR 9009. https://t.co/yo4a6Xaf62
A little over 10 years ago, I was entering the firearms industry as a sales person in a small store with an SOT. No one ever imagined SBR’s,SBS’s,AOW’s, & Silencers would be deregulated. Yet here we are. I can’t wait to see where we are in another 10.
Repeal Hughes.
@Hezzballa Yep, cross check your bolt gap against the tolerance spec in the operators manual (found online) and make sure you’re employing a suppressed locking piece to ease the shock load of the gasses into the bolt/carrier/recoil rod assy. One additional option is lower velocity ammo.
@flynavy111@scooteractual All kits will come with a proprietary hammer so there won’t be a difference between pre and post recall. Everyone reaps the same benefits.
The 249 is the prime subject this week. Still working on the last spring in the FCG to make this all come together. Once that is sorted, the order will go out for a prototype to be made for live fire testing. I am hopeful that we can see this live fire by the end of the month.
For all my USAS homies: do you ever encounter your bolt and carrier sticking in the rear of the receiver? This isn't a FRT related issue, but occurs on a bone stock USAS-12. The bolt seems to bind on the hammer and I have taken this thing apart a dozen times to diagnose.
The 240 parts should finally be produced this week so I can get on with live fire testing. If all goes well with live fire, production will begin this month. Remember, the op rod and slide hammer will need to be milled for the parts to work. I will offer that service as well.
