AA Kit with 1,000's of rds. through it and quit locking the slide to the rear on the last rd.

Metal insert in the slide for the slidestop was worn.
Tried to purchase the part from AA but not on the parts list.

Sent it in and they replaced the metal insert and also installed a new guide rod.

All at no charge to me and it took about two weeks from sending to receiving it back.

A BIG THUMBS UP FOR AA

Thanks for posting Ken; I call that excellent service. Is that the first time you had the guide rod changed?

[Brian Lee]

Good to know. I have one of these but didn't know they'd fix it for free if it breaks.

Yep!!! It was my most fired kit of the six I have.

3 ea.---19/23
1 ea.--- 21
1 ea.--- 30
1 ea.--- 1911

They all work great with proper ammo, Mini-Mags and Rem. G.B.

Good to know in case mine ever acts up. Now I need to find more .22 to put in it. Did you have any other problems with parts it in the 1000s of rounds?

[Cole125]

Wow great CS. Mine has been great so far over about 2 years and 3000 rounds.

My biggest problem with my AA kit is finding mini mags and golden bullets

Lucky I laid in a large supply just before the craze hit.
I have a large amount of Rem.G.B., Fed. Bulk and Mini-Mags.

But I also have Grandkids that like to shoot.
6 ea. AA Kits,Ciener 1911 Kit, GSG 1911-22, Ruger 22/45
2 ea. AR Kits, 2 ea. 10/22 and a 77/22.
I am starting to worry about replacing just what I shoot let alone the grandkids.

Believe it or not, I have an old AA Kit (first Generation) that will shoot Federal Bulk very well.

.22 LR ammo will be available again, it's just a matter of time.

I bought two cases of Remington Golden Bullets before the ammo scare, so that covers my shooting needs for about a year.

Mine eats everything. Currently feeding her federal bulk. Best money I've spent in a long time.

A year or so ago mine began to act oddly.

Would not go completely into battery sometimes, but not always.

Sent it back to AA, came back really quickly, new guide-rod and re-chambered.

Currently it will digest just about anything I feed it.

What a great way to enjoy the sport.

Ive had mine about 5 years with thousands of rounds. I have one for the glock subcompact and do drills. Mine will handle federals. It all depends on the run. Some bulk box will fire 90% others 20%.

No problem with golden bulletts. Have about 10k on hand but have slowed up shooting them with the shortage going on.

Will it ever lighten up? A store around here was selling 550 rounds for about $50 and they ran out!

Mine (for the 19/23) is over 8 years old, and has run for many thousands of almost trouble-free rounds... mainly Mini-Mags. I would get the occasional failure to feed or eject; but what .22 pistol doesn't?

Recently, it has begun to experience intermittent extraction problems; frequently enough to warrant concern. I'm betting the extractor and/or its spring has simply worn out. I ordered an extractor kit (for the whopping sum of $8.50). Hopefully that will cure the issue.

I put a JPoint on it a few years back, and that turns it into a truly delightful plinker. It also serves as a good "trainer" for transitioning to an RDS-equipped carry gun. I have a couple of Bowie G19s with a Docter RDS inlet into the slide. The JPoint's dot is a bit "bloomy", i.e. not as crisp as the Docters.

But it gets the job done...
