O dear, thread not cut square to bore?!
Who threaded it?
Cheap 'new' norinco SKS suppressed package. Certainly get what you pay for
From Gun City?
Bad luck.
I'm guessing all sorts of things can cause that.
If it is a can, was it screwed up tight? Thats one advantage of the over barrel type, at least if they slightly loosen they are kept in line by the barrel collet thingy (I think).
It will be interesting to hear what caused it?
How'd you guess :P
As per Tobys comment Please tell us you did not buy that from gun city.
Any one on this forum from gun city? see the shit they sell you guys
Something tells me this was my first mistake?Quote:

I'll see what they have to say about it tomorrow
you poor bugger another victim of gun shitty always remember these three words when gun city is involved "Run Forest RUN!!!!!!"
First and possibly last time I deal with them. Toby you seem to speak from experience? Care to share?Quote:

There is a thread about Chirs (I think) and his problem with them.
I bought a box of .308 from them a few years back, went out on a mish and pulled the first round out to load the gun and thought fuck that doesnt look right, it was a 7mm 08, checked the box yip .308 and the rest of the rounds were .308 wtf is with that???
Chris if you see this share a link to your thread for the benefit of Fallow
Easier to just post the link than wait for the original thread author to do soQuote:

Bunch of useless C*nts if you ask me.
Run like fuck Forest, Run!!!!

You will have to take this up with Mitch Maxbury the gunsmith. That's what he advised me, and I can see the logic.Quote:

I'm happy to wait and see, and reserve judgement.
I don't think it really makes real world difference or is an actual problem in the first placeQuote:

With all the bad experiences people have shared regarding gun city do you really blame us they have had more bad things said about them by customers that have bought from them than any other business mentioned on the net.Quote:

I can't really understand how they are still in business certainly only ever hear negative things about them
I was up the range a couple of years back and this chap had just fitted a new suppressor. First shot, HOLY CRAP!!! The bloody thing looked like a peeled banana skin. One hell of a bang, never did find out the cause. Bloody lucky no one was hurt. Another guy had the problem at the start of this thread as well. It was barely touching the hole but throwing the rounds all over the target.
:)
bizzarely enough i had the identical problem .GCsupplied & fitted a suppressor for both my 7.62x39 norinco &.303.we discovered ye old impact mark on the exit hole so back it went.new (more expensive unit)replaces said one as its deemed "faulty" by the head honcho and all at no cost to me.unfortunately for them we found same prob again,so in i goes local gunsmith GM is in store and tells em to leave it with him to sort.Seems all s ok now ,but unlike others I've found dealing with a single staff member and being firm but polite has generally got me a satisfactory solution,not all has gone the way I would ideally like but it has been effective.Due to one suppressor with two rifles it was initially a mystery as to the guilty party altho GM felt the .303having a beefier stiffer barrel wasnt.
other times ive dealt with them Ive generally found em reasonable.ignore the hype &macho bullshitand the arnold /rambo weapons systems on display and you'd be very suprised what you may in fact find if you quietly poke round.
BTW -Ive had a couple of real shitbuster experiences from certain chain often spoken highly of on both forums.one particular shop i will only buy from ONE person.in fact i will say the persons concerned would outdo GC in terms of what not to do.anyhow two sides to every story,and innuendo&anecdote aint always 100%bona fide.
