Calico Reliability Testing: Round 3!

http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons https://www.floatplane.com/channel/ForgottenWeapons/home Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons When I ran my Calico carbine through the PCC course of fire last month, I was rather surprised to see it run through 150 rounds without any malfunctions. I plan to continue shooting it without any cleaning or lubrication, to see how long it will go before it stops working. In. follow-up range trip, it ran another 100 round drum flawlessly. Today, it went about 50 rounds on the third drum before suffering a failure to fire. I was able to finish the drum, but not without several more malfunctions. That means that it ran in total, about 300 rounds without any problems. I suspect the problem now is that rather filthy state of the action. So next, I will give it a nice thorough cleaning and take it back to see if that brings it back to reliability. To be continued... Contact: Forgotten Weapons 6281 N. Oracle #36270 Tucson, AZ 85740

Was it an empty casing or a dead round that fell out at 2:54?

Very interesting. Really loving your test results on this firearm. Cannot wait to see the results of part 4.

I never would have thought we’d see you do three shooting videos of a Calico (videos answering a question nobody ever asked perhaps?). I owned one in .22 ($600 w/3 mags in 2002) and the mags were horribly dirty. After cleaning and applying copious amounts of graphite, it ran fine.

Well, at first when I started watching this series, I was a bit sad that I hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity to buy a Calico several years ago. However, after watching you tire out your trigger finger multiple times, I realized that there is nothing that I wish to shoot with a .22 LR 100 times. Or even 50 times. Therefore, I'm content again. So thank you for doing things so I don't have to!

I think 🤔 it's carbon between the striker and bot that's causing the issues!

Even if the helical magazine worked and the gun itself was more rugged, would there be a place for such super high capacity? Real bullets-flying-past-your-head combat would seem to be, maybe, the only place for such. Any combat veterans out there who can weigh in?

If you go frame by frame you can clearly see it's a full round. It's possible it was a light strike or just a dud round. Given that got progressively worse I'd guess there's gunk between the striker and the bolt.

Thought about buying one way back then also. But the stock was a bilious green color and I passed. Not sure what to think of the concept. Sadly the idea of a huge capacity helical magazine gets lost in the low quality firearm. I am liking the way Ian is approaching this, he may be able to sort out where the problems are gun or magazine.

I decided I wanted a Calico for it's strangeness, but of coursr I needed the most strange option, so I am a proud owner of a pretty nice Calico M100S - the early thumbhole wooden stock variant. I would love to see detailed FW breakdown on the history of the company and some more of the weird variants they actually made. Depending on the details of shipping etc., I may be willing to lend mine for a review.

With the volume of ammo you're feeding through this thing, and the whole 'Thousand hours makes an Expert' concept; Is it possible that Ian will become the world's most accurate and precise shooter -On a friggin' Calico-
