  1. I love the 500 also, but not until I've hit it with some OOO steel wool to take the gloss off. Looks very nice after that!
  2. So what's the story with a manufacturer marketing a firearm with no spare/replacement parts available? Kind of an expensive Bic lighter ain't it? Some of the stuff (firing pin) could easily be made, but something like that fragile looking bolt carrier might be a problem down the road.
  3. For the home smith without a lathe (and the barrel still attached), I would recommend using a tubing cutter to scribe the line to follow with the saw, and a machinist square to guide your file work. Resist the tempation to just roll the thing off with the tubing cutter, it will leave quite a ridge on the ID. Cut a little longer with the saw and finish to the scribe line with a file. Finish up with a home made lap and some compound. (Those brass cleaning rod guides work well a laps). That's good to hear. I am having the 'smith cut my 3 holer 22" down and thread it for internal c
  4. What is it? I've been warned not to use buffers in loads not specifically calling for it. Not way to read pressure on a shotshell hull, I guess.
  5. Ain't gonna let that go... Well a 30% drop in the Dow since the press selected him, and a $2 trillion proposed deficit is sure running things into the ground if you ask me! That's right, this guy will only surrender wars won't he? +1 on century arms, quick and trustworthy shop! Hey newbies, buy it and shooot the crap out of it. then look at changes and mods, atleast you'll know it worked before you converted it. now for political crap. I hate hijacking threads but...... This wonderful country of ours isn't 2 trillion in debt my friend, its at least double digits.

    Port cleaning

    sorry, double post. looks like my punishment was removal of the original
  8. If you grind it flush, the stub left will easily push into the gas tube leaving a (threadless) hole. Needs a little tack weld and then flush off again.
  9. Made some firing pins?? Aren't common parts available for these guns? A gun you can't repair is like a bic lighter when it empty..an expensive one. Tell me it ain't so. Try and give Gunfixr a pm. He made some replacement firing pins a few months ago. Cool, thanks for the info!
  10. Yeah this is unfortunately true, if you cut your barrel off you will have committed a felony. Be careful out there. Thanks for the warnings guys, I'm pretty anal about this B.S. so... after I remove the barrel, shorten it in my lathe, silver braze on the muzzle brake and then reattach the now 18"+ barrel to the receiver.....how will the new (effectively shorter) barrel affect cycling? I have four ports but am worried that because the brake (King Armory KA 1212BR) will relieve pressure earlier it may cause less than adequate gas pressure. Is just enlarging the holes while the barr
  11. If you grind off the front sight, the base of it may just fall into the gas tube, mine did, leaving a hole completely through (into the gas tube). I guess you would want to drill and tap that for your new sight
  12. I'm interested in removing 2" from my 19" barrel and permanently attaching my muzzle brake with silver solder (giving me a 19" overall barrel length including the brake). My question is this...what effect will this have on the gas system? Will it still cycle cheap walmart rounds like it does now? Is there a mod you can make to recover reliability if it quits cycling low brass? Thanks for any help, this sure has been an enjoyable project with the knowledge base here.
