TZL 0 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) So I was doing an little endurance test on the Akdal 1919...I was around 100 rounds in 10-15 mins, getting the thing nice and hot...when the front nut that holds the forearm blew off. It appears that it took on alot of heat (its aluminum) while the operating rod is steel, so the nut took too much heat and shot off, damaging the threads Anyone know what thread pitch this is? How can I call RAAC to try to get a replacement? any ideas? Edited September 4, 2012 by TZL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 With how much the 1919 borrows from other existing shotgun designs, what are the odds that the cap is the same thread pitch as another shotgun? Reason I mention this, is you can buy steel replacement caps for most common production shotguns, so if its compatible it could be a good upgrade. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TZL 0 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Csspecs, good idea but probably not...most shotguns have mag tubes so their thread is much larger in diameter, I'll try to get a human at RAAC next week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
