soooo it broke on july 25. you still hadnt sent it in on july 30. its got a life time warrenty. so then 12 days later its done and back?
Yes. You have the timeline about right. I didn't contact H&K for at least a few days, then spent a few days battling with them, then overnighted the gun, they had a maybe 2 days and overnighted it back.
and you were testing suppessors, i dont see one on the gun. did it blow off? were you not using one right then? had you tried one on that gun before?
I was not using a suppressor (and one had not been on the gun before). The suppressor arrived shortly after the gun came back from service. FWIW, I've taken it to the range since it came back and it functions beautifuly with the suppressor (which is what it was purchased for to begin with).
what exactly was the ammunition? was that case tight in the bore?
The ammo was factory Remington. I had to upt a dowel down the barrel and pound the case out. It was in there HARD.
did you have a trusted gunsmith check it out?
I did not have it examined before sending it to H&K.
in the 2nd pic, why is there a powder burn lengthwise on your left hand?
The powder burn on my left hand was where it was wrapped around the bottom of the mag well. My right hand had a burn running the other way from the split down the side.
how old is that gun? how many rounds thru it?
The gun was used and purchased locally. The reported round count when I purchased it was "around 500".
if you manage to shoot 3 or 4 thousand rounds thru it, and it doesnt blow up?
till then i wouldnt trust it to defend my family.
I thought it would be clear from my little wink-eye emoticon (
) that I was kidding about using this for family defense. I have other guns to serve that role.
