Question for Fat Harry
 
What has changed since your pussy youth?
Your interest in tactical weapons at this late stage in your life
seems odd given your disdain for military and what those weapons
are designed for. You got a Rambo fantacy going on?

Most likely he's afraid of meeting up with some of the friends he's
made over the years. Another possibility is that there might be a
contract out, or he's concerned that there is. When you go through
life stiffing people there's always a risk.

I like them because they are easy to adjust and modify/customize. Most
of my small collection of firearms, though, are not ones the military
would be issued.

Modern sporting rifles are easy to take apart and put back together.
I've done it three times. Given enough time, even a semi-literate like
you could replace a handgrip or maybe take apart a magazine, if someone
was around to guide you. Hardest part was learning how to properly
headspace a barrel. Do it wrong and possible kaboom.

He's talking about the AR-15 he "built", and there's really nothing to headspace on one. If the barrel and receiver are properly machined to spec, it has the proper headspace built into the design. When it becomes important is when you are fitting a more traditional barrel and receiver together, and are doing the machining yourself. Let's say you have a Mauser 98 action, and you're building a 30-06 with a Shaw barrel. Then you have to check and machine in the correct headspace, and even then it's not hard to do.

Barrels in sporting rifles don't headspace themselves automatically, and
it is worth taking a few minutes to check it. If JackOff wants to take
the chance of a kaboom, it is fine with me.

I wasn't talking about a "sporting rifle", I was talking about an AR-15. If the receiver and barrel are manufactured to spec, then they simply work. The barrel has a flange that butts up to the receiver, and the castle nut holds it in place. You can get a go/no-go checker, but because of the design changing the headspace on an AR is a complex process, more complex than a sporting rifle that uses a conventional design. It takes a headspace that is severely out of spec to even think about going kaboom.

You should stick to writing jingles, fat boy.

You still have not said where the kaboom comes from. If the headspace
is too large the extractor might not grab the rim, causing a jam or
the firing pin might not hit the primer, causing a misfire, worst case
a hang fire but they are very rare with modern primers.
If the headspace is too small the bolt won't close. No boom at all
there. A bolt action usually will not shoot until the bolt is seated
and a SA has a disconnector.

IF you have enough excessive headspace, and IF you get the round to fire, and IF the case pressure is sufficient, you can have the the case swell and/or split in that unsupported area. IF all the IF's add up perfectly. The most common symptoms are cratered or pushed back primers, rings around the base of the brass, or the brass rim being distorted.

It's always a good idea to inspect your first fired casings of an outing, especially when you change loads or brands of ammo.

Not bloody likely. In fact they change case sizes all the time by
"fire forming" a smaller case in a larger chamber. If the head space
was that far off, I doubt the firing pin would hit the primer anyway.

and a SA has a disconnector.


IF you have enough excessive headspace, and IF you get the round to fire, and IF the case pressure is sufficient, you can have the the case swell and/or split in that unsupported area. IF all the IF's add up perfectly. The most common symptoms are cratered or pushed back primers, rings around the base of the brass, or the brass rim being distorted.

It's always a good idea to inspect your first fired casings of an outing, especially when you change loads or brands of ammo.


No need to try to teach the Fat boy. He knows it all.

He's talking about the AR-15 he "built", and there's really nothing to headspace on one. If the barrel and receiver are properly machined to spec, it has the proper headspace built into the design. When it becomes important is when you are fitting a more traditional barrel and receiver together, and are doing the machining yourself. Let's say you have a Mauser 98 action, and you're building a 30-06 with a Shaw barrel. Then you have to check and machine in the correct headspace, and even then it's not hard to do.


Another fabricated Fat Harry story?


Barrels in sporting rifles don't headspace themselves automatically, and
it is worth taking a few minutes to check it. If JackOff wants to take
the chance of a kaboom, it is fine with me.

You still have not said where the kaboom comes from. If the headspace
is too large the extractor might not grab the rim, causing a jam or
the firing pin might not hit the primer, causing a misfire, worst case
a hang fire but they are very rare with modern primers.
If the headspace is too small the bolt won't close. No boom at all
there. A bolt action usually will not shoot until the bolt is seated
and a SA has a disconnector.

When you look at the geometry, it is going to be pretty hard to get
the headspace so far out of whack to cause a case rupture and still
allow the firing pin to hit the primer. Obviously that will have to be
a bottle neck cartridge because a straight case will not change the
gap between brass and steel at all if they are set back too far.
I have actually split cases when I was reloading with no particular
drama anyway. That is why we wear eye protection. ;-)
I had a .357 case split from the mouth almost all the way back to the
rim when I went a little too far with the wrong kind of powder.
(Bullseye). It was actually a load I read in a book (Cartridges of the
World) but there must have been a typo or something.
Lesson, always use a real reloading manual, not just an entertainment
book written by a journalism major.
