I recently purchased a WarCorps9 through gunprepper’s site and having major issues with the two takedown pins that came with the firearm. 

When not attached to the upper, the pins are still difficult to slide back and forth even with grease but once the upper and lower are attached, I have to use a pin and hammer to get the pins in and out. 

I even replaced the OEM pins with a new pair and the issue persists. There’s no way to unpin the upper from lower without a punch, hammer, and aggressive hammering. 

I have tried re-greasing and working the pins back and forth but once’s it’s again attached to the upper, they’re locked for good without hammering it out. 

Any suggestions other than what I have attempted so far?

Regardless if you like the product or hate it, my question is about the wording which had me confused.

I’m aware blowback AR9 needs a buffer with weight of 8.4oz or more and a length of 4”.

The armaspec SRS 9mm description says “actual weight: 8.4oz” then “equivalent weight: 5.4”.

Exactly how do I process this when it comes to the needed weight for a buffer? Do I read it as it is a 8.4oz buffer? Or that just the weighted end is 5.4oz and the whole device is 8.4? Or does it matter?

Again, I understand some don’t like this product, im just looking to understand their description.

Thank you in advance.

My girlfriend has fallen in love with skeet shooting and I want to get her an Over Under shotgun for her birthday.

I was curious what your opinion is on a budget friendly O/U (less than $700 if possible)
I’ve seen Charles Daly, Stoeger, CZ so far that look great but don’t know if they’re go to’s.6
I don’t have much experience with O/U and know many of you can point me in the right direction.

Thank you all in advanced.

Edit: I didn’t realize O/Us were so unreliable unless you go with a big name.
