why even take your dog to the vet, you might as well kill it and buy a new one

@@SchooloftheAmericanRifle I'm actually unironically asking the same question. What would be the point of going this route instead of just buying a new one, other than sentimental value. I'm not a gun knowledge person, are this rare in any capacity?

@@radiod698 Read the description

@@bweh2150 I know this is for education purposes. That's readily apparent.

Lol

Pretty sure it was opened up and inspected before being sent off. Possibly by the insurance company. And then put back together incorrectly

@@davisjames8484 I don't know...he actually broke the takedown pin trying to get it out. I'm thinking it was probably safety checked and that's about it. Chad says (and shows) that there's actually an impact mark on the lower from the carrier key impacting it. I think the owner was firing it like that personally. Probably would have seemed noticeably over gassed to someone who knew what they were doing. I'm thinking this owner probably wasn't that person though 😅

Ca compliant rifles be like: (I’m Californian sadly)

Well a ca compliant gun wouldn't have a 30 round mag in it because no sane person outside of cali would use a cali grip

@@Mari-sd5mw they do be goofy

@@Mari-sd5mw that looked like a pretty short bastardized mag to me, it screams California haha

thats democrats for ya. making everything less safe while taking your liberties away at the same time.

Imagine a world where you can't just go out and buy replacements

But now he has experience with fire damage repair. For a weapon with historical or sentimental value, it might be worth the cost.

especially since PSA offers a lifetime warranty on all the guns they produce themselves, the cost of a replacement would be $0.

@Lucifer Morningstar this is for if you can't just go get new parts, and to find out what happens.

@Lucifer Morningstar 🤣🤣😱

*charred and mangled corpse of an AR *Sees reversed buffer assembly "THERE'S your problem!" 🤡

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic ok Karen

That poor rifle probably started the fire after being assembled like that :)

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic 😂 HAHAHAH

I was thinking the same thing before I came to the comment section. Like wtf!? Backwards.... no wonder the buffer spring came out jacked up. Damn.😞

Not that I actually care about compliance with gun control, but out of curiosity how does that work? When the guns are burned up does that count as them being "demilled" so no transfer is needed? That's an awesome haul btw. I had a similar feeling several years ago when the milita I was working with we found and raided a big cartel "base" of sorts. The local police chief wanted to reward us and so I asked for the DTNVG night vision unit after it was cleared by evidence and checked to not be stolen military hardware. The local swat thought it was a handheld unit so they passed on claiming it, not realizing you can buy a dovetail arm to mount it to a helmet.

@@DaveSmith-cp5kjwtf lol where do you live?

@@jakisfly California. There is a LOT of cartel and terror cell activity throughout this state, and consequentially there are a lot of militias that popped up. Cops are also blocked here from doing a lot of policing by corrupt state and city officials so they frequently call on volunteers on the down low. For example it is illegal for cops to use thermal imagers to look for pot houses or use water test kits chemical warfare agents in water runoff of a backyard, but legal for an average citizen to do so and then report their findings through the crime tip network. Stuff like that.

@@DaveSmith-cp5kj that’s honestly insane and fascinating, I’m surprised they don’t call you vigilantes and try to prosecute you all for protecting your communities.

@@jakisfly Oh they do for sure, the county DA for example tries to get involved to stop it, and we have had negative press from our local paper twice (which of course is owned by USA Today, so it it is regular corporate propaganda). But we make sure we review the law before we do anything, and every single thing is recorded and names taken down to prove what we are told. Generally if things get too heated the Sheriff steps in who can actually override the police department's arrest due to being an elected official rather than appointed. It's important to know your local government well, and on a personal level. There are of course some militias that go "black" and do whatever they want as true blue vigilantes, but you would never find them. We only know they exist because they pull a batman kind of thing where they anonymously report the leftovers if it is something that needs LE review such as the presence of chemical weapons, enslaved children (more common than you would think), drugs, or something of that danger. That was the thing when Biden first took office and there was surge of crossings over the southern border and there was a ton of gunfights happening with bodies littered across the entire border, most of that was probably black militias because it makes zero sense for cartels and illegals to kill each other. Typically cartels use rip crews which just steal product from other caravans, they don't resort to violence because there is no need and most rip crews are composed of middle aged people with dad bodies and junk. So I can't see them getting into night-time firefights. The FBI is definitely focused on looking for black militias, and personally I believe that's probably why 2021 was the deadliest year for the agency with nothing to show for it. They aren't even releasing the total casualty rate anymore, as they used to state the agent's full identity and the situation they were killed in to honor them. Considering how many times the FBI has been caught doing felonies as of late, the context of their death probably is something they don't want to draw attention to.

But that would be pretty short content.

it's aluminum.

@@SignalJones it is indeed aluminum

@@jstud999 the issue isn't hardness, you don't exactly temper aluminum like steel. The receivers have probably been annealed, true. But they could be rehardened by holding at 250f for 24 hours then air cooling. Keep in mind though - kitchen ovens aren't usually up to the task, and vary wildly in actual temperature over their run cycles.

Looking at PSA's website and seeing how cheap it is to buy a replacement is quicker.

A file could probably give you a quick test as to whether any annealing happened.

They do if you specifically have insurance for firearms. Most people with insurance overlook that when getting insurance.

the owner did us proud!

The impact marks on the lower from the carrier key impacting it seems to suggest it would kind of work 🤷‍♂️ it would definitely seem over gassed if it did function though and sooner or later things would certainly start to fail

I bought a complete a2 stock/buffer kit. There was a plastic cap screwed over the tube to hold the spring/buffer in the stock, and when I removed it the buffer was in backwards. It was done this way so the buffer wouldn't fly out and hit someone in the face while unpacking/assembling. My theory is that this guy's buffer/tube was packaged in a similar manner, and since it was his first build he didn't realize it was shipped backwards for safety purposes.

@@jeffjefferson2853 I doubt that considering the gun has been fired a decent amount but I guess it’s possible I suppose

Or assembled by the average PSA customer

Nah. It was definitely the person that put the sight mark on it

No way that PSA QC is that bad? I got 1 GF3 1AKP and 1 AKV all psa and they are all pretty damn nice.. I should have bought zastava m70 due to heavier construction or a iwi galil ace but I went PSA (not a fanboy of psa but likes them)

I could see a parts seller at the gun show packing a buffer/tube kit like that before bagging it, but I'd have to be a dummy to install it in that order...

​@@boogalooslav6943 yes PSA qc is that bad, i had several bad ones before i learned my lesson

7075 is tempered between 300-500 degrees CELCIUS, so maybe there’s where the confusion lies.

@@PS-rr2jt I'm pretty sure both temps are in Fahrenheit. SOTAR (Chad) is an English-speaking American residing in the U.S., and the coating companies are located in the U.S. as well.

@@blueeyeddevil1 I know he’s American. CELCIUS is the what scientists and engineers use (regardless of what country they live in) and 7075 is tempered at 300-500*C. That’s all I’m saying. If he’s saying that 275*F will damage the aluminum, he’s wrong.

@@PS-rr2jt No, I get you. Perhaps he'll replace and clarify it.

Maybe he’s concerned about annealing the frame, 275C is just below the annealing temp. 275 jumped out to me when he said it because I’ve used Cerakote on receivers.

Although it is comfornia compliant so on the other hand it got put out of its misery if it don't make it

I know right. On my first build I wanted to see how easy it is, since the dems say it is, so I did my assembly with only any instruction included with parts, then went back and did a shit ton of videos and reading and even on my first try I round tell which direction the buffer went. Assembly isn't that hard but Def tricks and specs are important so I re built. Was more just to familiarize myself.

I doubt the person that puts the buffer assembly in backwards knows what "over gassed" even means. Order of events was probably: 1. Bought rifle 2. Fired half a mag at range 3. Stored loaded because it cycled all 15 rounds almost without issue 4. Is now self defense rifle 5. Currently in comments sections across the internet talking about how everybody is wrong and that his PSA rifle never had any problems

@@jpowens2253 the amount of carbon on the bolt boat tail (pt 2) this gun had 100’s of rounds through it. Just saying

It probably came from PSA like that lmao

Yeah but it's hard to keep the fluid where you want it I would put it vertically in a pipe with a cap.

the fluid also off gases as it works, so you do not want it sealed up in a bag.

@@jasonpressler7111 ah, if it bubbles, that'd be a problem.
