AK gunsmith needed in central NJ

[MartyZ 692]

Any AK gunsmiths in the central NJ area, I am having a serious double fire (or slam fire) issue with my PAP M77.

[MartyZ 692]

Ok, how about north east nj?

[MartyZ 692]

wow, not a single AK gunsmith in central or north east jersey?

Paterson is in that area.

They are closed

Cross posting from your other thread... how far have you disassembled the bolt? Have you actually removed the firing pin? Or just cleaned from the outside with the pin still inside the bolt?

[MartyZ 692]

I took the pin out.  Cleaned everything with gun scrubber.

This might be stretching the NJ area you're looking in, but try Nickjc at Mastodon. They're in the vendor forums section.

+1 for Mastodon.

If I send it out of state for repair (not to manufacturer), will they send it back to me or do they have to send it to FFL?

Send it back to you

can you describe the situation? whats going on? maybe we can help you.

[MartyZ 692]

One trip to the range, about 80 rounds, 2 times, once standing and once off the bench the gun double fired.  The second time, on the bench, I felt the trigger jerk on the second fire.  I collected the brass and it does appear to be a slam fire, I found one that was the result of the slam fire, it has a very shallow depression all the others have a deep depression.

 

If you look at the picture you will notice the primer on the right has a much smaller depression than the one on the left.

brick armory has a gunsmith who does almost everything

[MartyZ 692]

Yeah, i called them today. Will go there this weekend

[Sticky Grips 4]

Have you tried shooting with harder primers..maybe like wolf?

 

Does the firing pin move freely in the bolt? typically when the firing pin is dirty or for whatever reason hung up in the bolt, a slam fire can occur.

[MartyZ 692]

I cleaned the bolt inside and out. Removed the firing pin. Sprayed with gun scrubber then blew everything out with compressed air. Lubed with mpro7, firing pin still sticks. Also, the firing pin protrudes a hair past the bf well all the way back. I was shooting with AE ammo.

[SJG 253]

change the firing pin

[MartyZ 692]

Well i went to brick, they shaved a few micrometers off the firing pin and replaced a small nut that apparently went missing and charged me $104. Here is the best part, those aholes wanted to charge me range time to run a few rounds thru it to test it. I am never going back there again. I will hopefully be able to get out to range14 this weekend to test it out.

Probably would have saved money by spending it on gas to drive farther for some quality work, to be honest.

BA has gone downhill. When they first opened in the old spot they used to be the go to place. I bought many of guns there at great prices. Now they wont get nutrin from me.

[NYMetsFan86 9]

I agree. I don't do anything at brick other than shoot and home. Overpriced guns and apparently overpriced smithy

Could of guessed that was how it was going to be at BA. I was just waiting patiently to see your experience.

There have been some reports of double strikes with the single hook triggers, and Ive seen doubling from bench firing. Its a form of bump firing.

[MartyZ 692]

well I finally got a chance to go to the range yesterday, out of 60 rounds not a single slam fire, so i'm happy.  I did find a red footprint of my stock on my shoulder this morning  , those .308s really kick.  On a different note, as far as accuracy goes, at 25 yards in a badly lit indoor range with iron sights I got 19 rounds into a 8 inch circle, which isn't bad for me.
