I don’t see why it would be.
-
Thanks.
I do have a couple of MBXs that came with the Para. They don't do slidelock either.
I'll learn to adjust.
It's a shame, though. 1911-style guns are the only ones that slidelock for me. Everything else, I tend to ride the slide-release with my thumb (as if it were a safety).
-
Oh...... the rest of my mags work fine on this gun, and only this one has a measurably low catch hole.
I'm too cheap to throw it away.
The silly thing is that I’m willing to do work to fiddle with it, but not willing to do the work to send it back.
-
Thank you. I considered taking it to a muffler shop and having it welded. I'm sure they know how to handle thin steel.
But.... grinding it smooth on the inside after that would be a challenge.

I bought a couple Remington R1 mags to test out in my Para 16.40.
They both feed rounds, but one hangs just a bit too low. It rattles a bit, and gives no slidelock. It was a $50 magazine, and it works, but I’d like to get it to sit a bit higher into the gun.
Are there any options for getting this done? I’m considering cutting a slot just above the catch hole and bending the metal down. Then fill my hole with carbon fiber/epoxy.

Thanks very much. I just picked up a Para P-16 Limited. I like Paras, but the mag thing will be cumbersome.
-
Necro-thread.... it’s years later. What are good magazine options that exist for the P16?
I don’t care about max round-count. I’d like reliable, last-round-slidelock, and works with a magwell.
With the death of Para and Remington.... what options exist these days?
-
I thought I might be the only person who still has a 45ACP Para Ord.
i can’t identify your base pads, though. Is that a locking screw in the corner?

kcult. It's junk. But I like you, so I will send you $300 and take it off your hands!

Build up what you need underneath, then wrap like a bicycle handlebar. Sticks to itself insanely well, yet it's grippy but not sticky to hold onto.

....there are still a few 10-round states to take into consideration. (really, that is not that big of an issue in my mind)....
That would be a bigger deal to you, if you lived here.

If something isn't expressly forbidden (or required) by the rules, it is allowed. Rules are always "limiting", never "allowing".
That is my opinion on all rules, in this sport, and in life.
EDITED TO ADD: Even things that are 'required" by rule, are actually "forbidden" by rule (in that you are forbidden from doing anything else).

With an adapter, you can run Duster Gas (the type you buy at Sam's Club for blowing out computers) in probably any gun that will run green-gas.
Slide weight and spring power will be a deciding factor. I run propane in my magazines in the garage, but now that winter is here, I've installed a natural gas heater in the garage. I switched to duster gas in the mags. The gun still ri=uns fine. The BBs come out a bit slower, but not a big enough deal to worry about it.
Indoors, in the basement, I (personally) wouldn't run propane (or any "green gas"). Furnace, hot water heater at floor-level, and my life and family above.... I'm not introducing concentrated, combustible, heavier-than-air gasses to that equation. Try duster gas, it might work just fine for you.

What software are you using?

I don't fully understand where the shooter's feet were at what times, but it seems to me that there's no such thing as a body part that is "outside the shooting box", if that part isn't touching the ground.
If we were to start extending the definition of "shooting box" to anything higher than ground-level, most barricade shots would be impossible (because a body-part that isn't touching the ground moves "outside the shooting box".
These aren't touchdowns in football. You don't need to have both feet on the ground in order to score. You just can't have a body-part touching the ground outside the box when shooting.
As for shots with both feet off the ground.... then you do have to make some sort of judgement call as to what body-parts were above the shooting box.

Those targets seem like a pricey (but cool) alternative to paper. Paper is cheaper (one of the main reasons to shoot airsoft!).
If I was running a more formal match, I'd want those targets, though.
-
....If you DONT believe this, then ask somebody from Australia, or England, or Japan how many guns they own, or how many IPSC matches they get to participate in a month.
As Flyin' said, I'm pretty sure that the existence of airsoft guns and competitions were not deciding factors when a drive was made to disarm the people.
That's why I say those statements are silly. It's like saying wars will end because we have paintball fields (so the masses will be "content" to have "play war").
-
....Future scenario: Why do they need real bullets? They'll be happy with their Airsoft toys.......Do the words "Slippery Slope" mean anything???... Every round ... shot ... brings us one step closer to the countries where airsoft IPSC is the only game in town....
People who think this are silly.
....My opinion may be baseless, irrational, paranoid ....At least you're honest and realistic!
... The skill set, and experience of USPSA versus "airsoft IPSC" is akin to comparing playing with radio controlled airplanes to landing a F14 on the deck of a carrier....That's actually a horrible anology. If someone fired airsoft ONLY, to the point where their skills were GM-level, and then picked up a real gun and shot in competition, they would be VERY competitive (since recoil management is the only " skill set, and experience " you can't replicate with airsoft).
The radio-control guy will probably not fare as well on the carrier deck!
Seriously, do you think there is ANY difference in what a shooter can do/see/feel/experience with a real gun, that they can't duplicate with airsoft (except during the time that the slide is moving)? If so, stop practicing using dry-fire.
That said, I don't support the idea of USPSA being involved with running airsoft or .22lr matches. If individuals want to run them, or another organization wants to step up, that's fine.

That's why I'm hoarding pennies. The price never seems to fluctuate!

(not my videos)
Ges the "green gas" version, and not the CO2.
After you get tired of laughing at the fun you have running it on full-auot, you can get down to enjoying a full-metal GBB that runs well right out of the box.
I don't know about mods/parts/mags. I bought mine used with 3 mags for $50.
I haven't shot it very seriously yet. I bought it because it was cheap (and did I mention it's select-fire?).

....BOJ studies show .....Don't you dare say that a cop's sacrifice or line of duty death is any more important a sacrifice than that made by a firefighter......
I'm not sure why the Bank of Japan is doing line-of-duty-fatality studies, but...
By your reasoning, fishermen, construction workers, loggers, garbage collectors, roofers, taxi drivers, pilots, electrical linesmen have all given more for this country than military or LE (since their on-duty death rate far exceeds military, LEO, firefighters).
I'm stretching the point. The only reason for a LE/mil category is to let those people train/compete with the equipment they are forced to use on duty. Not a lot of firefighters/EMTs/loggers/fishermen have a need for these skills. It's not about value-of-public-service, it's about people-who-use-weapons-that-are-kinda-like-the-ones-used-in-our-sport.
Taxi drivers on the other hand.... THEY should get special category rcognition, and cross-draw holsters will be allowed for this category!
