My A3 was trouble free prior and now I have issues with the "upgraded" parts. I wish I could get my original parts back. If I were you I would just shoot and enjoy it. Only if you have issues would I send it in. It's sad because the gun is such a pleasure to shoot but this whole process has been a cluster of the highest order. |

That said, I don't run trash ammo. Only full power brass cased 124 grain. |

Hope they don't forget to send my roller back as well.

I filled out the RMA form yesterday and received shipping labels (two, one USPS one FedEx, each with it's own different RMA number) and now I'm hesitant to send back. ETA: I asked G.O. why two labels and they replied immediately: USPS if just sending the parts, FedEx if sending the firearm. ETA2: I also asked what parts to send and G.O. Support included a PDF showing the bolt and the locking piece. Nothing else. Attached File |

Just trying to judge if the issues others have reported are from a single use of the drum, or after a bunch of uses. Side note: I have several of the KCI 50-round drum mags for my Glocks and have never had a problem with them (despite reports to the contrary from others), so I'm willing to take a risk on one of these if I have a better understanding of the issues are that people have had. It is a young product. |

First the LRBHO no longer worked, then I noticed I was starting to get resistance when pulling the charging handle back, emptied a mag with the suppressor on and it locked the bolt up completely after the last round fired. Ironically it fed and fired everything except that one out of battery but clearly something is up. Had to get the gun home to really yank on the charging handle to get the bolt to come back again. |

Maybe you'll need to remind me though

It is good to see the option I would go with, using Colt SMG mags, but you would think ALH would have opted to design in an integral trigger guard. LOL (Note, I have already decided the Stribog is not for me, so I really have no dog in this fight.) |

There are folks who have made it work by opening the channel in the Stribog lower by about 1/8” and using shims since standard AR trigger groups are a bit too narrow. |

I was finally able to run my new steel lipped magazines through several cycles each. About 450 rounds of Winchester 115gr fmj fed flawlessly. Not one malfunction. The springs in these seem way more strong than the original ones. My bog seems good to go now, so I ordered a second SP9A1 for spare parts if they get banned in the future. Ordered a SP9A3 to play around with while I was at it.

Aluminum all the way, as long as they don’t want $350 for it. Even the $200 for the 3D printed versions seems high for what it is, but I guess if it works reliably and proves to be robust, it would be worth it. |

Ok. After doing some research it appears the GSA prefixes were the last batch of blowback guns but with the correct recoil springs to better handle standard 9mm ammo. It appears K model guns had the change from dual rod to single rod recoil systems but on some of those early single rod K guns the spring was too heavy thus creating FTE/FTF issues. Anyone able to confirm this? |

Anyone able to confirm this? Just a guess w/o doing any digging but the serial number prefix change when Global took over distribution? |

Just noticed that Grandpower has modified the followers with the metal lipped magazines. They put a little bump on them and made them black again. Maybe to tilt the nose of the bullet up a little more.

I just bought a post recall serial numbered A3 that came with revised steel lip black follower Mags that I guess will call version 2. Hopefully she runs good. I also have an A1 with the steel lipped orange follower version 1 Mags than runs good. I’ll be able to shoot it in a few weeks. Hopefully all the teething problems were addressed and I can then recommend the A3. |

Super nice construction. Would not have anything else on one of these. Just sold it and the Stribog the night before last. |

Do I need any special adapters if I was to order one of these? Or can I just take the SBT brace off and slide one of these on? I’m pretty excited I just got an email that it shipped today |

I’m pretty excited I just got an email that it shipped today Pretty sure the end cap is proprietary. But don’t fret because they come with the end cap you need. https://a3-tactical-inc.myshopify.com/products/modular-side-folding-arm-brace-stribog?variant=32926522409021 |
