Dude, I dunno what your problem is, honestly. I don't know if we're just talking past each other, or if one of us simply isn't reading the posts. Maybe it's me.

Dude, I dunno what your problem is, honestly. I don't know if we're just talking past each other, or if one of us simply isn't reading the posts. Maybe it's me.
My point was - piston guns are nice...
You mean...like the SCAR?
And the AUG, which has been in continuous military service since 1977?
But, sure...keep on keeping on
Wasn't how it was explained to me, but I'm not a lawyer. There's pretty much no firearm configuration that I know of or can think of where you can turn an AR lower that has a stock affixed to it into...
Ah you're right, I just went back over the docs that came with my -As and -Bs - my -As came with the "U" insert installed by default, and my -Bs came with the "P" insert installed. I threw all the...
? I literally said I used piston guns repeatedly in my post and all they do is move the problem from one set of parts to another, in my experience, and gave 3 examples. Two of which are guns you can...
X300/b is for pic and other "normal" rails; X300/a is for Glock and so called "universal" rails. You can tell by the attachment method; if it has a couple of paddles to pull down, it's for Glocks -...
Right - I should have been more clear, if it starts as a rifle, it is forever a rifle.
If you transfer an AR lower, if you build it as a pistol, you have the flexibility to convert it from pistol...
No, the law and ATF interpretation of it is really clear with lots of cases, letters, examples, etc - if an NFA firearm (SBR for example) is bought or restored into non-NFA configuration (a 16"...
Looks like you have the X300T for a Glock "universal" Rail? They never did so well on anything other than Glocks; loose as hell...at least in my meager experience. I don't know if the Springfield is...
The EZ is almost the same gun - it's bigger in every dimension but it's close.
The Equalizer, on the other hand, is almost %100 dimensionally identical - it's just a little bit wider.
That's...
1903s (32acp) post-400,000 (1922) I think was the broadly accepted cutoff, was when Colt added a "safety notch" like the 1911's half-cock notch, to the hammer...it doesn't really make it "drop safe",...
IIRC it was the logistical train that came with the new sidearm. Beretta was willing to provide support, parts, etc for less than Sig was willing to provide it for. At that level it's not so much...

Finally let me add them..
Comparing it to my Mauser HSc - the Mauser is more in line with the Walther PP it seems (I don't have one of those to compare it to)...the PPK is a...
A few years ago I went on an old P220 and P228 hunt, looking for parts, etc -
Breech block inner pin: 1202658-R OR PIN-2
Breech block outer pin: PIN-4
Two sources I found were Midwest Gun...
It's not letting me upload any photos, at all...big, small, 3px x 3px / 5kb in size, whatever. :confused:
Funny that this thread popped back up. Yesterday at the funstore I stopped in to check on some things I had consigned; had zero intention of actually spending money.
Then I saw this in one of...
Before you go too nuts - Tisas apparently plays fast and loose with JMB's numbers - I posted it in another thread as well. Not a big deal if you're never going to start changing things on the...
FYI they MAY use proprietary barrels, too...
Chuck Rogers found this out the hard way on a Tisas -
I realize Girsan and Tisas are not the same other than country of origin, but they're...
I don't have data because I didn't say that?
I said probably not a bad idea to use a brake - I didn't say "if you run a barrel shorter than X, you need to run a brake" anywhere, I don't think....
Well, define "fine"?
"Fine" as in "if/when you wear it out we'll replace it", or fine as in "it'll never erode, we're using diamond baffles and it's impervious to high pressure particulate...
How do you mean? The shorter the barrel, the faster the blast baffle erodes from all the crap and blast that hit it; there's a ton of threads on arfcom including a long running thread photoing blast...
A lot of people do; some pin/weld a can to an 11.5 or 12.5" barrel to bring a rifle to 16" so the can is permanently attached; others do it even if they don't have to because the can is dedicated to...
I guess? My assumption was that he already owned/possessed the can to be upgraded. If there's no form 4 involved, then the upgrade is for sure worth it.
If he's got to buy the can to do the...
Also, before anyone gets too deep into this...remember, the military has been running 10.3, 11.5 and 14.5 unmolested USGI carbines with cans on them (AAC M42000s, KAC M4QDs, Surefires, Ops Inc 5th...
Oh it's very much as effective as buying a new can in a couple ways, if not more -
1) No new tax stamp, so $200 and long approval process saved right there
2) Brand new can warranty - just like...
