This video addresses a common issue with the Bear Creek Arsenal AR .410 upper receiver where the extractor fails to properly grip the rim of the shell casing, instead smashing it. The creator discovered a simple, inexpensive fix involving a small O-ring. By strategically placing the O-ring under the extractor channel, it provides the necessary tension to allow the extractor to engage the rim effectively, while still maintaining enough force for proper ejection. The creator plans to release a full video detailing the unboxing, range test, teardown, and this O-ring fix, and intends to contact Bear Creek Arsenal with their solution.
The Girsan MC1911S in .45 ACP offers attractive features for its price point, including a rail and ambidextrous safety. However, initial testing revealed reliability issues, specifically feeding failures attributed to an extractor claw malfunction. Accuracy testing confirmed a consistent but low point of impact, approximately 6 inches low at 7-8 yards, suggesting a need for break-in and potential sight adjustment.
