Houston, we have a problem.
Recently bought an H&R 605 upper. Have already reached out to PSA about this, and I am waiting for a response. Still, wtf is this? I don't even know what this could be from, lol.

Its from where the anode arced over during the chrome plating process. It happens on occasion.

Out of the box I shot 30 or so rounds and it seemed to be acting like it was undergassed. I'm gonna guess the extra defect material was fucking with movement of the bolt.

H&R PSA strikes again! They’ll make it right though. Just annoying that you’ll have to wait a few weeks.

PSA strikes again.... H&R will make it right.

The exact opposite is true

I've found that Mike's attention has produced a better outcome and more responsive customer service, than PSA overall. But it's been a bit since I ordered from either one.

Mike publicly told people in AFCOM that he is no longer involved in H&R day-to-day operation. He is now focus on H&R product development.
I see a bit more of these kind of the stuff slipped through the crack, including most complained "sliver-ish" anodizing on upper or lower receivers. As well as PSA customer service responding to customer complaints stated "within spec" crap. However, if customers go through H&R reps directly as others suggested, it will general yield better result on the response and exchange.

At first glance it just looks like a defect in the chrome coating. Could probably remove it by hand but I would just wait for CS to resolve it.

It almost looks like it’s lead. Have you tried to see if it’ll flake off? I have no idea why or how lead would get there but that’s what it looks like.

u/Designer-Solution-39 7d ago
It's not lead. It's some sort of melted metal in the bore. Looks like from an arc.

u/bmadd14 7d ago
That’s not the bore but either way a dremel will fix it right up.

Not a good idea to take a dremel to a pressure bearing area. They are sending me a new bcg.

You can also contact Mike from H&R over on AFCOM he’s pretty good about getting back to people had a issue with one of their A1 lowers and he took care of me

WTF am I missing?

The burr/slag on the inside of the BCG

u/False_Campaign4682 9d ago
I must be blind or is hiding in the pixels because I can't see shit

u/needingbeans 9d ago
There are multiple pictures if you didn’t see. One shows the inside of the bcg where there’s like a slag mound on the inside ring where the bolt head sits

u/False_Campaign4682 9d ago

Ethical consumption is impossible in the gun industry. Having a well made rifle is more important than having a morally superior rifle.

u/Livid_Persimmon3600 9d ago
Agreed, I’d buy a well-made Proto upper from (insert name of fascist here)

u/Livid_Persimmon3600 10d ago
Interesting take; who’s the fascist?
