You can get them from here; http://gprifle.se/AKDAL10.html But presuming you're in the US I don't know if your retarded magazine/ITAR nonsense would let you

That much gap will also quickly crack your gas block as it will get 'hammered' by the piston, rather than pushed. If you've got a side charging handle forend I'd recommend you get the V2 gas block from T&N as its just basically a hefty block of steel. I don't know what material the originals were made of (presumably some kind of aluminium alloy) but I went through one every 6-8 months

I too went from a Benelli M2 to a BR99 (MKA1919 clone). There is a steep learning curve and every time the gun is modded away from 'factory settings' it has to be re-learned and the gun 'fettled'. Mine is now modded to the point I want and I've got it running very reliably (for a box mag gun anyway). My top tip would be to clean it after every use, unless say, you shoot 100rds or so one day then 100 the following day. If left for say a week even just after 50-60rds mine will not function as well.

That's Turkish precision for you(!) You should see the differences in the BR99 mags as they're all metal. At least with the main body of the MKA1919 mags being molded plastic they're reasonably similar.

The best sight to use for clay shooting is a bead, on a rib, attached to an over and under shotgun, simple as that!
You want to have your eye as close to the barrel bore axis as possible, something this type of shotgun is just not suited to, especially with a red dot raising it even higher. Don't get me wrong, i've used my BR99 + 516 EoTech for 'a laugh' shooting clays but they are simply not the best tool for the job.
I regularly shoot 90-96% for ESP clays with my O/U (Browning Cynergy). I think the times i tried it with my BR99 it was down to around 60-65%.
If you've only got one gun to try to do everything with and you want to use a red-dot, then my advice would be to get one with the smallest/thinnest shroud possible, as i found the lead on the clay was frequently hidden by the shroud of the sight. and a lot of blind guess work had to be done.

Is the hole/tab on the faulty magazine 'regular'. I had a similar issue as you (and the mag would occasionally just drop out!) and on looking more closely the tab at the top of the mag latch hole was poorly formed. I just pried the top tab out a bit with a screw driver and it seems to have fixed the issue.
Regular top, problem bottom;

Been using an EoTech 516 for nearly two years now 4-5000 rounds. The only issue i've had is snagging the battery compartment lever and partially opening it, then a few shots and it opens completely and the sight dies.

Can these be exported (as 'kits' in pieces) or are they covered but that ITAR nonsense?
-
I've never understood this 'high brass' - 'low brass' thing that is constantly referred to on US shotgun threads, is that just a way you guys refer to cheap and expensive cartridges? As the height/depth of the 'brass' has sweet FA to do with how the cartridge functions in a gun.
Its just that top end manufacturers that produce the most consistant cartridges, and 'pokey' cartridges tend to have high brass. If the same manufacturer produced 2 identical load cartridges one with high brass and one with low, they'd both work just as well as each other.

Best option is to take it back and get a Bora99
Hows that for starting a flame war 
-
The only way to see/feel if the firing pin comes out from the bolt face would be to remove the barrel, and with the barrel removed its unlikely the bolt/carrier would be in the correct position. Try just taking the bolt out and just pushing the back of the firing pin to see if it protrudes the bolt face, if not the pin is broken/missing

Bora bolts are cut there (but not to such an extent) from the factory

Hello everyone,
Hoping some can help, the magazine catch on my BR99 has become loose on the bolt and no longer properly engages the magazine. The bolt appears to have opened up the hole in the catch where it screws in and now has a crazy amount of give on it. So does anyone stock, or know where i could get a replacement?
Many thanks

My BR99 came with this area pre-cut (either that or it just cracked and fell out with the test firing
), and i've since put 3-4000 rds through mine without issue. The BR99 drive block is also pre-cut to prevent that cracking too -
As above, your handguard should've come with an o-ring to keep it tight. Also tighten it wearing grippy gloves for best results

I'm about 3000 rds into my BR99, most of it heavy competition use and its still going strong. The only times it has malfunctioned (over and above what you would normally expect) is when i've done something wrong (e.g. putting the barrel retention nut on the wrong way around and the barrel working loose, or putting a magazine spring in backwards leading to jams
)It did suffer some scraping damage to the upper receiver, however i wasn't even aware of it until i read a thread on here about it happening to MKA1919's. After a fair bit of use and smoothing the top of the lock off it no longer does it.
I have limited experience with the MKA1919 first hand but the few i've seen have had problems. That said the guy who is currently winning the UK IPSC shotgun championship is using an MKA1919 so they can't all be bad!
TBH i think the whole BR99 Vs MKA1919 is pretty much a pointless debate. They're both budget shotguns and both have flaws, just pick one and go shoot it instead of bitching on like a bunch of girls
Last big comp i shot ~200rds 1 failure to fire @1:44, looks like the hammer wasn't cocked

Buy a replacement lower (when they come out
3gunusa has them in stock
Does your replacement lower have the round indent below the buffer tube that would allow the use of a Magpul UBR stock? Also, do they have serial numbers?

Holy **** those are some long stages!

My BR99 guide rod was a PITA to remove too but i eventually managed using a vice with cardboard in for grip/protection

By my, and my dictionaries definition, none of my firearms are weapons until i point one of them at another person.However i'm in the UK and we're not permitted to own guns for self defence, only 'sporting' purposes.
Gap between gas piston and drive block
in MKA-1919
Posted
Whether its SUPPOSED to be there I couldn't say, it is there however in all of the BR99's/MKA1919's I've handled. I've also personally been through two guide rods, two bolt carriers and 5 gas blocks and they've all had a degree of wiggle in them.
