Depends on the caliber and weight of the bullet. 1/7 will also wear a bit faster.

On a 22cal. The 1/7 likes a heaviest bullets. 75 to 90grs. The 1/8 likes bullets from 62 to 75grs. Don't ask either one to shoot 40gr varmint bullets. The rate of twist is too fast. It will strip the jackets off the bullets as I found out.

A couple of parts popped out but I was able to put the gun back together at the range. Then my dad took a turn and not even a mag later it happened again. Some people might bad mouth the 92FS but it is a tough gun. Even after having 2 case blow outs in one outing it was functional after a little bit of help. We took a closer look at the batch of ammo and found a few rounds were the casing was visibly cracked. The lesson here is to be careful when purchasing reloaded ammo, especially semi-auto pistol ammo.

Also it could be from an unsupported case head in the barrel. Look at your spent casings to see if there is a bugle on the case, just above the case head. Some Glocks and S&W M&P Shield 9mm's will bugle the cases. Some so bad that you can't reuse the case for reloading.

My 92FS gets a steady diet of 9mm Plus P's.

One of the great things about the 92fs line is if ya run out of ammo you can always beat someone to death with it.

I had powder burns and my right hand was numb for 2 days. I don't know what really happened I squeezed the trigger weapon didn't feel right when it blew, my magazine feel out is the real reason why I noticed. The people I purchased from sent the pistol to their parent company and they sent to Springfeild. I tried to figure out what was replaced but couldn't get any info. The ammo people gave me additional ammo but I didn't trust it anymore so I sold it to some female.

Time spent accessorizing, 5%, time spent shooting, 95%. Never cleaned, never had a problem with, I assume, 5000+ rounds through it

I had a issue with a reload not firing and the other day the oddest thing! Bolt wouldnt close all the way, opened it up and found 2 small peices of steel that looked like gun parts after the gun didn't fire. I CANNOT find where they came from.

Does your silver part around the bolt not close all the way sometimes? If my barrel is dirty where the case sits in it, you can't just relax the slide closed, you have to force it like from a round being chambered or hitting the bolt release. I only notice it when I pull the charging handle back to see if a rounds still inside.

Seen it in one of my Sinclair catalogs.

Building my first AR rifle, had this laying around so why not??

Magpul CTR stock.

Main reason though is current rifle only has a 10" barrel. Dead on at 100 yards but the bullets are so slow! Even with green tip it barely touches 1/8" AR500 steel. I'm looking for 18" in the end with a scope to reach out to 200 yards.

So far I've ordered the Palmetto mil-spec trigger. Yes I know a $30 cheap mil-spec but whatever if it goes boom and shoots to 200 yards. Then the Magpul enhanced tigger guard for $19. Tapco mil-spec 6 position buffer tube, spring, buffer, castle nut and end plate with harness slot for $43. Magpul MOE handle $15. And last CMMG lower install kit for $35.

Now I need to find a FFL dealer to send the CMMG lower to for $103.

So $245 total the way I want it (can't remember what I paid for the CTR stock). The CMMG lower comes built for $254 but I didn't want the handle or stock so I'm looking forward to doing it myself.

Curious what others think, but my impression as a new AR15 owner is that we really don't need a scope out to 200 yards. Iron sight does just fine.
