![]() ![]() I even ran some Remington dirty bulk with the same results. I then installed an extractor and a Spartan charging handle plus the poly bolt buffer that I bought from TK.Īll this brought me down to 10% of my cartridges stove piping.Ĭartridges used have been CCI, CCI Mini Mags, Blazer, Winchester target black box, Federal Auto Match with the same results for them all. I have buffed, polished and basically cleaned up all the rough surfaces. ![]() I have spent many hours reading here and got a ton of tips and ideas. I love it for its light weight and its accuracy.īUT I have had this nagging issue of 25% of my rounds stove piping. Having only (1) immediate action drill for failure to fire & failure to eject is far more efficient than having 3 seperate clearance procedures for 3 seperate malfunctions.I recently purchased a slightly used Ruger 10/22 carbine with a BX trigger. Your head is up and you can see the mag well with your lower peripheral vision while scanning the environment in front of you, you do not have to look down underneath the gun. ![]() The firearm is in a strong, ergonomically correct postion close to the torso and easy to hold there for extended periods of time if remedial action (a longer clearance procedure) is required. Utilizing the high control position methodology your malfunction clearence Immediate Action Drill is the same for a failure to fire as it is for a failure to eject = tap/rack/reassess the target/environment. In reality, this often forces people to bob their heads to look down at the mag well in order to properly insert the magazine which defeats the original purpose behind this position.ģ) Individuals of smaller frame/stature have difficulty (especially with long-guns) maintaining the gun in this position, especially under stress and fatigue. We hold objects and tools close to our torso where we are strong and dextrous.Ģ) We are attempting to put a square magazine into a square magazine well while the magazine well is facing the ground. We do not do most things in our daily lives at arms length. While this may be true there are many limitations to this position in regards to combative gun-handling such as emergency loading and malfunction clearance.ġ) It is not ergonomically correct for most people. The original theory was that keeping the hangun/long-gun in this position forces the shooter to keep their heads up, readily observing their combat environment. If the gun does not go bang when it is supposed to go bang then what is the use of having the hangun out at arms length muzzle/sights on target? It is not functioning. From 2008-2009 I have seen ~55000+ rounds go down range in my classes and training and not once did this malf occur when the handgun was manipulated in the HC position. As a matter of fact, I have NEVER seen a linear malfunction induced from a failure to eject (stove-pipe) when the handgun is maipulated from this position. If the hangun is brought into the body, elbow touching torso, ejection port facing ground, with the muzzle even with tip of your nose which is referred to as the high control position then tap/rack/reassess works 99.9% of the time. If the handgun is held at arms length, sights on target ala old school MIL/LE teaching methodology then the tap/rack/reassess sequence can cause a more time consuming linear malfunction (sometimes referred to as a double feed). I guess my question is WHERE are most people "manipulating" the handgun during a combative encounter? That is just as important in regards to malfunction clearance as HOW we manipulate the handgun, IMO. ![]()
