  1. It has been so long that I don't remember having any trouble with the spring. I think it is a good idea to fit your mags on the tight side, and run them for a bit. As the mags wear in, you will see shiny impact/rubbing spots, and they will become looser and drop free. I wanted drop free with a tilt or a shake, but not loose and rattly. I actually plastic welded a bit of extra material on the back of mine after a while. Now they have a little more support, and are very solid, but still very fast. I would rather have a very secure and reliable reload with minimal motor skill req
  2. Basically the same idea as switching roller locked to roller delayed, but with rotating bolt head.
  3. Or inertial. Keep a conventional Kalasnikov BCG, but change the length of the straight section of the camming groove, reduce the total amount of lock up so that forces transmit sooner. Carrier newton's cradles back, cams open the bolt with less force, no gas needed. Sloping those surfaces is an obvious step, but patents...

    Notch vs Rail

    Of the two, I liked the IZ 108 rail, but I like both a lot better with the addition of a dinzag brand front sight. High style for the 108, low for the 109. I also scribed a line in the center of the 108 rail at the back and filled it with white paint for an index. That makes precise slug shooting much easier with no detraction to the normal function. Hi-viz makes some fiber optic sights which snap onto vent ribs, which are a step nicer still.
  5. SGM sold competition mags for a while, maybe they still do. Those match the SGM branded magwell, which had geometry copied from the JTE. I don't see any in stock anywhere. All my mags are self modded from the rock and lock style, which wasn't too bad. Maybe half an hour with a file or belt sander to do the first one and 5-10 minutes each after you know what you are doing.
  6. Because why give yourself an advantage, when you can try to train past a handicapp?
  7. Website seems to have the old instructions, which still say 3" is not recommended. Also has the same sketchy claim that it will help with undergassed guns, followed by a disclaimer saying of course it won't. description on the product page lacks the disclaimer, but has the claim about helping with undergassed. It's a good product, but that is not the most above board marketing I have seen.
  8. My autoplugs are fairly early made. I don't know what changes had been made, and was unaware of the new style prior to this post. I do think it is an excellent product. Just know that it doesn't give you gas you lack, it vents excess.
  9. A lot of the 3" stuff will work with the auto plug if you turn it upside down. I modified mine to have extra detent locations, and a notch similar to the factory plug magnum setting. That covers the full range of shells. I have noticed that the remington magnums are a bit weaker than Winchester. So it's basically in the off setting for winchester 3", on the #1 ish setting for Remington 3" and in the auto setting for everything else. Oh, and probably a stray 3" shell or two on auto wouldn't hurt it, but I don't do that on purpose other than the few I did for testing.
  10. For the IZ-109 you want dinzag's low sight if you want to work with the rear sight leaf. The high sight is matched to the IZ-108 vent rib. I have both and they are superb. If you were making a custom rear blade or peep, then there's no reason not to go with the high though.
  11. Oh and chaos offers a low profile sight as does Kel tec for their foldy rifle. Those are the best options that I am aware of. I did a lot of overthinking of this a few years back, and the original rear sight is still sitting there. I should probably fix that.
  12. I've said it elsewhere, but IMO Dinzag's are the right way to go. Here's the brake down. Dinzag: right height, weight and look. Takes proper AK front post. So you can dial it in for drop with the tool that came with the gun. Clean mounting hardware looks factory, not afterthought. Krebs: has AR front post which I consider a plus becuase that makes night sight options a lot better and more cost effective, and distinct looks. Has nice peep for rear sight. Also a plus. Krebs doesn't usually offer this as a seperate part. I have looked. CSS. AR front post, chunky looks. Probably in

  15. That feed tower looks familiar. I bet that guy is fun to do projects with.
  16. So they are more of mock ups than useable mags. They prove that the parts fit, and would feed, but recoil would kill them.
  17. Every semi automatic can be bump fired without any special trigger or stock. It is an inherent flaw / feature in semi auto. There have been a few "binary" triggers for ARs AKs and various other semi auto systems for a long time. Usually these fire on pull and on release. They are kinda sketchy from a safety stand point. Also a lot of them make it possible to work the triggers faster than the action and thus have a hammer-follow type malfunction. Some of those do have extra disconnectors to prevent this type of malf. Definitely toys not serious purpose. Also a few states define semi a
  18. I can't be thankful to DJT about this. He made a promise to uphold the constitution. He also made a lot of promises about reducing the regulations and the administrative state. But I guess some vague statement to a grieving person trumps all of those promises....
  19. MaxRounds used to make one. Depending on who you ask it was either a heavy thing that ate itself, or a heavy thing that worked. They were about $600 IIRC, and had replaceable feed towers. You would need spares, because the recoil beats the feed towers to death over time. You could also get a tower which fit the veprs. Don't know if they still make them. I would honestly rather use a CSSpecs 10 rounder and have a couple spares.
  20. I dunno if they bothered him, but you want a happy mid point between "slips off of your shoulder" and "grips your clothing randomly which interferes with a smooth mount." Some of the textured rubber pads cross too far into the latter category.
  21. Favorite is kind of a "for what" thing. Practical purpose and fun: S12/vepr, The AR as a generic idea because it is generally good, and is a good platform for me to tinker around on, TBD I like SA/DA 9mm. So far the berettas and clones seem as shootable or better than most of the others I have tried, but I don't love the control placement, and the grips are a bit wide. I do like the S&W M&P line up in general. Probably more practical than the all metal DA/SA stuff. Just not as special feeling. Probably the S&W 66 6" is the most satisfying handgun for me to shoot thou
