For a "cheap" gun the Savage is hard to beat, although my dad has a Ruger American that shoots very well for a budget gun.

When the bolt hits the follower it's a noticeable downward push but it works fine. I've trimmed the front edge of the Pmags a little and they work better. Maybe it's a combination of the two. Mine seemed to drop when the lug slams shut on the polymer, on the aluminum it just cleared itself.

The first pics you have of the mag looks like your locking lugs hits the corner of the mag like mine does, I guess the Renegade Buck catch isn't strong enough to hold the pmags in when the lugs slams shut on the polymer, instead it just shakes it loose after a few rounds. I'll have to look at my GI mags to see if they have marks like that. Let us know how the bullet guide works because I'd really like to get this thing as reliable as possible in case I even need it.

Yes, the front right corner of the mag. when the lugs lock it hits the front corner of the mag and tries to push it out. It will usually do it after a few rounds. The mag doesn't usually fall all the way out but it won't chamber a round.

I have a renegade buck AR mag adapter on my 223. It works well except for the occasional feed issue. It seems to always be from the right side of the mag and the tip ends up below the chamber. I was wondering if anyone had used the bullet guide with the adapter. Plus with the guide I could use the Galil mags as well as others and have more options for mags. Also, I've heard some people say the PMags don't work with these. The problem I had with them was because the bolt locking into the trunnion actually hits the front corner of the mag, the polymer doesn't clearance like the aluminum so i

Nice, I just bought a Springfield RO and didn't worry about building one. I'm not competent enough to fit one that nicely.

They look short and fat to me.

All the AR mag adapters require modifying the rifle. I think the MSA adapter requires more milling than the Renegade buck adapter. They both require milling the trunion so the AR mag will seat high enough.

I like the Kahr CW9 really well. I carry a PF9 and it works well for it's intended purpose.

It was $800, I had a hard time giving that much for a gun but I had part of it from the sale of another handgun.

Yes, it's a US made gun. My GI is made in Brazil. It's a fine gun as well, actually nicer than a lot of US made guns I've looked at but this one is really well fitted and the trigger is sooooo good.

I just found this at one of my LGS today. Looked at about ten different 1911s from a Rock Island on up to some pricey Kimbers and Colts. This one had as good or better fit as anything and was in the middle of the price range. I've read good things about how accurate these are as well. I'm kind of partial to the Springers as my first 1911 was a GI model. They didn't even have it out yet, I had to ask id they had any Springfields.

Sorry bout that, it's easier to link than type. I'll have to remember that.

Centerfire has some.

I bought a cheap red dot a not long ago for a 22 pistol and I thought something was wrong with it as well. The dot looked really large and blurry like. When I took it out to shoot it I figured I had to focus on my target and the dot became more of a dot for lack of a better way to decribe it. Look through the dot and don't focus on the dot itself.

Really like my Saiga as well, I'm surprised at the accuracy even though the sites aren't the best for accuracy. I didn't notice dented cases but I was shoooting steel case tula so I didn't care. I know it ejected some cartridges over 30ft from where I was shooting, gotta love a beefy extractor. I think the best thing I've done is move the trigger group, the trigger is so much nicer now. There was a lot of creep with that linkage, nice and crisp now. Enjoy, they are lots of fun to shoot and modify.

The pmags drop free when released, one GI mag will drop pretty well and the other is still tight. The pmags are pretty loose once I got the GI mags to seat. When the bolt locks you can see it push the front of the pmag down. Im pretty sure the bolt lug hitting the front right side of the mag is the issue I just don't want to do too much and mess it up.

Thanks for the reply. I have one mag that has cleared itself and functions great. The other GI mag I have fits really tight and I've dropped the bolt on it a few times and it's clearing itself. The PMags though just dont seem to lock in good enough, a guess it's the notch as opposed to the hole on the other mags. Maybe I should take my dremel and clearance one of the pmags and see if that helps. Or just get some more GI mags.

That's exactly what it's doin, how did you fix this? I was sure that was what was going on but I didnt know if anyone else had this issue. I just ground enough for the gi mag to go straight in. Almost seems like its forward of where it should be but it's against the back of the adapter.

It'll do. Seems to be decent of course nowhere near the quality of a nice one but for $25 its hard to beat. It doesn't have the wobble of the older ones I've messed with but I really won't know until it gets used for a while.

I'm working on installing the adapter on my rifle right now. It lock in to the catch good. I've got the mags to latch in but when I cycle the slide it will feed a couple rounds then the bolt will drop the mag out of the catch. Pmags are worse but it will even push the gi mags loose. They seem to lock in good but the I have to give the bolt a push to get it to close all the way, just the last 1/2in or so. I've been emailing back and forth with Mike about this bit I know quite a few of you have installed this thing so you may have suggestions.

It's for those people who don't want a 300 blackout AR?

I just took mine apart this evening, they're really simple to work on. I It was really easy to do, I reused the trigger guard and the spot weld on the front as well as the rivets holding the plate on were harder to drill/dremel than I expected, just took a bit of patience and finding the right bit. I'm sure a reputable local smith could take care of anything you want done though.

I saw one of those last weekend at a gun show. I'd call it close to a Coyote Tan. Nice looking weapon.
