Update.

Ran the L4 yesterday at the range. Ran on #3 gas setting with zero issues. I was pleasantly surprised. Ran 10 round out of two mags, with no last round jamming issues. Rand 20 out of each...

Thanks Joe. Now I get it. Appreciate that. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Thank you Gary, I will...

Thanks Joe. I had started down that path you had suggested. I got the springs to go around the recoil rod, but never could make a satisfactory block to keep it from going through the striker. I may...

Thanks Gary, tried to send a PM. Don’t think it went thru?

Would prefer to buy an extra set to modify. Certainly would not modify a borrowed set, but rather get a set to see if I could modify for...

Update: 4.15.19. Not sure why I didn’t think of this sooner.

Has been a while with me still working through these issues with my Historic Arms L4A4. I ended up in touch with Mighty Lime and...

Now THAT I would like to see. Kinda like cutting a hog with a band saw from head to hole!

I am hoping that because mine is an L4A4, they had that all worked out. I knew there were early problems,...

Dear Peter, IF you ever have any spare time, check out this website. Fun projects by many a talented individual, including Mighty Lime and his award winning Bren build.

After some helpful input from JoeH and others (thank you everyone), I am understanding the differences between the basic striker systems. I am also pretty impressed with what Mighty Lime has been...

Brit plumber, the bolt is indeed marked as a 7.62. The receiver tracks have some uneven portions, as I suspect many rewelds do, but nothing binds as the piston extension ( bolt carrier) and striker...

Thanks Mr. E. Very helpful stuff. Will mess with it a bit and report back.

OK, did the tests you outlined. Drop test seemed to have no binding. Striker compression seemed acceptable. Take a look...

Thank you gentlemen. I will look for a spring maker first.

Mr. E, as to the questions on the system, I suspect it is a "pirate system". I am not familiar with that term, but the striker has a...

I have discovered (and should have known) that when I pull back on the cocking lever, everything is fine until I hit that last 2" of travel. Then the Striker Spring starts to really compress and...

I tried this and while there is a little wiggle with some mags, others have no wiggle at all. I am talking a VERY minute amount, when it happens at all. With mags out I try lifting up on the ejector...

Thanks guys, as usual, I left out some key details.

It is an original L4A4 body. I will have to look again and determine where the welds are in remanufacturing. Some of these are better than...

I wish we had a "semi autos" only section as most of my question will all now relate to the semi auto builds done here in the US. I doubt many other locations are doing them, meaning what other...
