M&p 10 problem

Thanks, tommy boy. I’m curious, number one, did it take long to get your shipping label or did they email it to you? I’m asking cause I’ve had an FFL dealer send it for me Incase it happened to come back and I was not home and he’s said S&W told them it’d take 3 to 5 business days to get the label and that didn’t sound right to me. Second question, when about did you send yours in? Thanks.
 
They e-mailed a shipping label and I was able to send it in the same day. I used the original box, just wrapped with brown shipping paper. It was in late July. You do need to have an adult sign for it when they send it back - doesn't have to be you...
 
Yeah I kind of thought that sounded a bit off. Oh well I guess that’s the price I pay for having someone else do it. I’d do it myself but more than likely there’d be no one home to sign for it when it came back. This way I’d at least know I could just go 5 mins up the street to get it when it came in.
 
Good luck, I hope your repair turns out as well as mine. I was certainly doubtful when I sent it in, but its all good now.
 
Shooter,

They usually sent the label by email and you have to print it.
When they sent mine, I gave it time and it never came. The
rep got the email wrong. I called back and asked them to resend it, and they stayed with me until I received it in my email.

Printed the label, boxed it up and sent it on. They got it in 3 days.
Unfortunately for me, it arrived during their annual shutdown.
Labor Day also set it back. Mine is supposedly repaired but in the shipping dept. Last week, rep advised shipping is behind at least
2 weeks. Rep told me to check back next week if I didn't hear from them
 
Thanks for your reply. Yeah I forgot to post what mags I use, though I didn’t think the mags would’ve had anything to do with it. I have two mag pull 20 rd mags and 4 magpul 25 round mags. It does it with all the mags. I can’t seem to find a good steel mag that fits the M&p 10. For example, I bought a 20 round aluminum mag (can’t remmeber what brand) that said it was the type that my gun takes SR25 or lr308 pretty sure I was told they take both but I know the magpul I have are the same type that came with it) and it didn’t fit, but the magbpuls are the same and they fit. Plus the mag I bought had a bad follower as it stuck when I’d attempt to load it before I realized it didn’t fit. My funds are limited right now which is why I WANT the cheap ammo to work (which supposedly it eventually will) but even the 17.99 Winchester and remington soft point ammo that works at first eventually starts malfunctioning too... of course this is after I tried the cheaper 15.00 a box perfecta and federal 7.62.. then after going home and cleaning it and going back to the range the 17 a box stuff works great again until I try something else that ends up not working. If I knew it take the defensive ammo I bought for it then I’d be happy, but I like a gun that I have options on what I can use.

As far as a possible burr on the magazine, would this likely be the case even if it does it on all 6 of the mags I have for it? All 6, as I said, are mag pul (again, 2 20 rounders and 4 25) and thy all do it. I’d think if it was a defect I. The magazine it wouldn’t be for every mag of that brand, though hopefully you will correct me if I’m wrong on that. One person that looked at it (an AR tech that looked at it for free so it wasn’t inspect3d just a once over kind of thing) said I could have a burr in the barrel or chamber itself, which if that’s the case that’d be some5ing S&W would need to fix. Thanks again for your reply.

PS: hilltop... that sounds like Va?

sorry, I just saw your post, and realized that you have sent it in, and it is now awaiting return shipping... did they happen to say what they found?? they don't always

You might be confusing "shooter's" replies with mine. My MP15Sport2 was the one in shipping, and returned. Functions fine. The whole story is in the MP15 section. S&W paperwork only indicated "replace bolt" I went back to them and the rep I spoke to went a lot further in finding out exactly what was wrong. It was not disclosed in the paperwork sent with the rifle.
 
I'm late to this party, but in my world, an AR10 must be held tight to the shoulder. Excessive rear movement is kinda like limp wristing a Glock. Creates malfunctions similar to what you're describing. It's also always a good idea to have someone else shoot your malfunctioning firearm . . .
 
I had several people shoot it. Wasn’t my technique for sure. Just want3 to let everyone know I got it back last Wednesday, took it out Friday and it worked perfectly. Even with cheap tulammo. Thanks for all the advice everyone.
 
Shooter,

Glad it worked out for you. Did S&W say what was wrong with it, or who worked on it? If Sam Gonzales worked on it, be assured that he's very thorough, and will check everything before clearing it to be shipped back.
