FenderFreek 0 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) I would put a few through it, just to make sure it works. If it doesn't work properly after converting, at least you know it was something you did. If it is f-ed up before you start hacking on it, you can probably get it replaced/fixed too - not so much after. Edited September 22, 2008 by FenderFreek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobotech 3 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Mine was running perfectly before I converted. I converted it over the weekend. When I shot it yesterday, I did have a few FTE/stovepipes. (3 or 4 out of a 25 round box of cheap Walmart ammo). I did use a modified tapco hammer that I didn't polish up or anything so that might be the culprit. I'm going to take the hammer out and polish it up and make it smooth and see how the gun runs at that point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mollysman420 19 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Its just such a hard choice love to shoot but love the converting proces too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Shoot the &*^%* &%^$&^ %#$ out of it! Oyhrwise when it is converted you may find ^&%$&% $#%@% #%^ still left in it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ernestmayhand 10 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I just got my 7.62 which will be my first conversion. I took it out and shot the piss out of it just so I can appreciate how great it's gunna feel after I convert it. I could really feel the difference between the factory TG and my tromix modified G2 TG which I've got on my S12. Can't wait to have the G2 in the 7.62 it's gunna be buttery smooth. You really gotta know bad to appreciate better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 If converting it yourself, I would definately shoot it prior just to check things out. If sending it off like I did to Red Stick or Tromix, I wouldn't bother. If there were any problems with mine I don't know about it as they adopted them as their own.

Azrial 1,091 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I shot it before converting, but had problems with it then. I have not had the chance to test is out since conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wally 2 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 take some REAL ammo with you buck and slugs and shoot the snot out of it,makes no sense just to shoot low powered bird ammo all of the time you can do that with a cheap pump gun ,walmart has 15rd packs of winchester slugs for $9,enjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajackb 0 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 +1 on 1911's comments. Verify function prior to conversion and use the same ammo after for a fair comparison. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I don't know about you guys but I could hardly wait ti shoot mine when I first got it. I stopped by wallyworld on the way to pick it up and was loading mags on the way home! Unless you shoot it before conversion, you can never appreciate the killer difference it makes to have it converted. Then there's the reliability factor...sometimes they come in with someting wrong like a canted gas block that hides one of the ports, or a number of other issues that would make some people want to return them for a replacement. Once you cut it up, that's your problem though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
