How does the malcomar shoot?

Read some reports of jams with the early models.
When the trigger is pulled, the firing pin hits the primer in the cartridge, igniting the powder which produces pressure to send the bullet down the bore towards the target.
The same pressure that sends the bullet down range also exerts pressure on the gas system, which utilizes a gas piston that is exposed to gasses from a port in the barrel. After the bullet passes this port, the expanding gasses push the piston to the rear, which then pushes the bolt carrier to the rear. This rearward motion then allows the roller locks in the bolt to unlock, and then the bolt is unlocked from the barrel. With the rearward motion of the bolt carrier group, the chamber is opened, the extractor grabs the rim of the (now empty) case, and the case is ejected through the side port. The bolt and carrier continue their rearward motion until they either bottom out on the spring, or the spring pressure equalizes against the rearward momentum. The spring then pushes the bolt and carrier forward again. If available, another cartridge is stripped from the magazine by the forward motion of the bcg, shoving a new round into the chamber, cocking the hammer, and allowing the process to be repeated.




Oh, wait.



That’s not what you were asking, was it?

Well guys, tough night here. Heard a crash about 4:30 in the morning. Suz wasn't in bed. Found her in the kitchen making hot tea & she had dropped her teacup. Cup was broken but she was fine.

Scary part was her responses made no sense & she seemed unaware of when or why she went to the kitchen.Took me a minute to figure out she was sleepwalking. I'm praying this was a one time event & not a new normal behavior. Not sure how I'll get any sleep if this keeps up.

All thoughts, sacred smoke, prayers, whiskey toasts or spells will be much appreciated.
hope she ok

Ok, so the real answer is that it grouped nicely, and ran consistently.
Not sure if I want to keep it, though. It’s heavy like an AK, and I bought it thinking it might replace an AR, but since I often swap uppers on ARs depending on the situation, it’s not going to do that role.
But it is solid. And accurate.
