But the gun still doesn't cycle for shit, was kinda hoping the can may improve that, it did not. Tilt-breech action generally needs a booster (LID/Nielsen device), especially with a can. |

Mosquitos have a fixed barrel, unlike their larger brethren.

My Beretta 92 cycles with a can when wet, but not when more-or-less dry, and does so without a LID. Though if it's having trouble cycling even without the can, that may be an exercise in vain. |

It soft strikes and short strokes all the damn time, so it definitely needs further attention.

What kind of ammo are you using?
Friend of mine has a Mosquito and it likes CCI Stingers. After we figured that out it works alot better |

Federal bulk mainly. It runs OK on stingers or Fed Automatch, but not reliable at all.

A friends wife has an early mosquito that also short strokes and had soft strikes with every ammo we tried including stingers and other cci stuff.... until as a last resort we tried Remington golden bullets as sort of "well, what can it hurt"... well the damn thing ran like a champ....gave them the rest of the box to practice with and that's all they use now....

Really? I always hated how dirty those were. Maybe I can find some to try. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Golden Bullets is what makes my wife's Advantage Arms Glock conversion run like a top. My 10/22 never liked the stuff. |

Anyone here extend barrels professionally? I'm tempted to try on a 9mm M&P but I'd like to talk it over with someone first.

Not really seeing the problem, since on the adapter, you can face the back of it to gain the needed clearance for the barrel hood to lock up correctly.
Also to point out, on the adapter, you need to taper it from the start point on the barrel, and leave only the front section of it for a tight fit to the slide barrel channel when the hood is locked up to the slidee. Hence as the slide comes back on the barrel during unlock, as soon as the barrel gets far enough back off the front section of the adapter, there has to be enough room/slop between the slide channel ring, to the barrel, so the hood has the room to drop out and the front of the barrel at the end of the slide not binding up instead. |

My mosquito liked CCI mini mag ammo. That was the only stuff that I ever got it to run 100% with.
It's always the last operation. I get more and more paranoid the closer I get to finishing any machining project. I don't remember ever dicking anything up real good right off the bat. |

Nope, worst that usually comes from that is a broken center drill. |
