Ya, I'd have had to "declare" any mags I had over 10 rounds last year. Connecticut should be thought of as a small communist country, something like Cuba, lol :)

Ulflyer, thanks for the info! Alas, I live in Connecticut and can't buy mags for over 10 rds. I did get a couple from keepshooting.com, going to try 'em out when the weather warms up.

Luckily, I don't have a heat shield--I'm very happy with the rifle, except for the magazine issue. Mine's really accurate--it shoots better than I do, lol. But I am thinking of it for HD, so need...

ordered the part from FA :)

Ok, I'll take a look on youtube--thanks alot for the help!

Wow, thanks for the advice. I'm not the least bit a gunsmith, so what you describe sounds challenging. But maybe there are some videos on how to do it.

The rifle's shooting ok now as long as I...

Thanks b4--nice quotation in your signature, BTW. I'm pretty happy with it, think I'll keep shooting, oiling, cleaning and see what transpires :-)

Well, it's been quite awhile, but I thought I'd report back. After a couple more trips to the range, my M1 AO carbine was still jamming, usually because the cartridges weren't going up the feed ramp...

Hi All--

b4, glad the mini is working out for you! I had mine out on the range the other day (I usually shoot Federal Eagle range ammo or PMC), and it was fine. At 50 yards, it's all in the ten...

b4, I'm planning on taking the mini-14 to the range on Monday. I'll shoot it at 50 and 100 yeards and post a range report. It's a really good rifle. I think I paid about $600 for it back in '05 or...

Welcome to the forum! I have an AO M1 carbine, but if I were looking for a new CCW it would be a kahr.

Welcome to the forum! I'm dealing with Kahr customer service right now (my AOM140 M1 carbine). Sent it back to the factory on their dime a few days ago. So far they've been really good, we'll see...

Here's an update to my last update, lol. I was amazed to get this email from Jay D'Andrea in Kahr customer service this morning (a Sunday no less!):

"Good morning. I am sorry to hear about the...

b4, I'm ashamed of myself for not picking up on your screen name :) That's a favorite of mine. I'm just generally a blues fan, so of course I love hearing him play Crossroads--I know, it's kind of...

Most welcome. I spent a bit of time with one of the spare mags tonight. I took a dead-blow hammer and used the soft plastic end. Pushed the mag deep into the well, squeezed the mag release and...

Hey from your avatar I see we share something other than a love for the m1 carbine. I'm a Clapton fan from waaaaay back. First saw him while I was in high school in 1970!

I'll try some more...

Finally took my new Auto Ordnance Carbine out to the range on Friday and had lots of fun, even with some of the expected small problems. First, here are a couple of very lame IPOD photos--it was...

Welcome to the forum! Mass used to be one of the few places with worse gun laws than where I live (Konnecticut, lol). Now it's debatable. :-)

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum! My wife is a former anti, now she's neutral, which is the best I've been able to accomplish in 15 yers of marriage. I'm always a bit envious of guys who have wives or...

Picked up the rifle this morning--I'm heading to the range either tomorrow or Friday and will definitely post a report. The only ammo I could get my hands on at a reasonable price is PPU, but it...

Just reading around and saw somewhere that some guy had trouble with the factory ones, but it was a few years ago. No big deal, just wondering. Glad to hear they worked out ok for you. My carbine...

Has anyone had any trouble with the AO factory 10-round mags? Or have they worked out ok?

Thanks,

Jeff
