I’m surprised none of the Smiths take advantage of the Volquartsen clearance deals and do groups of these things. I assume the integral guys buy them but I don’t know. I’ll always wondered what we’d have if the receiver wasn’t the upper. For $25 a pop you could knock a batch of 10+ out for minimal cost and time.

if you trim the grip could this be a pocket carry? they could design a pocket version of this gun with the chamber and receiver mechanism shortened or set even further back from the barrel?

Who is cutting and threading these now? D.Wilson isn't taking customer supplied parts, Adco won't go shorter than 3".

Originally Posted By Outrider: You can get the MaddMacs upper in a milled version.

The end result is an upper with a RDS that sits lower than a standard MKIV. You can also get the XBAR upper with a standard mounting setup. https://maddmacsprecisiontactical.com/uploads/3/4/3/9/34393413/img-1313_orig.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6rgflZs.jpg View Quote Which version sounds the best? |

Any of y'all running into failur to feed issues with a 2" barrel with suppressor?
im getting failure to feed on 1 out of 5 rounds. not sure if it's a mag issue, a cycling issue, or ammo issue(all I have right now is 36gr mini mag). might not be mags, I have the same problem across 10 mags. Ammo: should I be using 40gr? I can look for different stuff but it's hit or miss if it's on the shelf here. |
