I did a search lol

I just got an old HK imported M1super90 and need chokes as well . Got a 26” rib vent barrel on it and would like to know if I need Mobil thread chokes? Or if anyone’s got any to spare. I’m putting this together for 3 gun. Sallisaw Oklahoma if anyone’s close to me that would be cool.

I was told to get a STI. lol

so I guess thats it

still waiting

Mac Gar mag seems fine from the start. Anyone else find this to be true?

So the issue is with para mags? Has para ever said anything about it, or better yet done something about it?

I forgot to add that the Mec Gar mag and the 3 nickel or stainless para mags were brand new.

Pics didn't show.

Well it all started when I thought it would be a good Idea to by a Para P14-45 from a guy on armslist It was advertised as having the front strap checkered, Ed Brown internals and 7 mags for $825 I asked if everything worked and he said yes he sent it off to have a gunsmith to do all the work and everything works fine. He sent me poor quality pics when I asked for more. The gun seems okay. It seem to have a different trigger everything else looks factory it still has the 80 series parts in minus the plunger. It also had a extended mag release. I'm really confused about all the mags I have for it. The only one that would work was the Mec Gar mag. It's the only one that would load to capacity and fully seat and lock into the frame. Only other mag that would seat was the 10 rd para mag that someone hacked all up my guess with a dremel. It came with another 10 rd mag that wouldn't seat. I didn't want to hack up every mag I get and it works with the one good mag so I looked at the mag release catch and noticed it seemed like it could be filed flat and slightly beveled so it would let the mags seat and lock in. They all at least seat in the gun now. The 1st one is a black para mag. It wouldn't seat and lock in the frame. Now it seats and kind of works but doesn't feed very well.marked made in Canada holds 14 rds. 2nd is a MEC-GAR design and mfg P14-45 Made in Italy has windows in the back indicating capacity at 4, 7, 10, 12, 14, It holds the 14 and seems like the best one I have. Para marked base. Seated and loaded and feed from the start looked brand new. 3rd 4th 5th are all marked Made in Canada on body and base. I think they are nickle? Will load about half before I dent the brass trying to load more. They will not feed. The bullets will rattle around and not feed up the mag. The follower I noticed was catching in the catch cutout beveled the follower and solved that problem but there is still something else from letting them load all the way. The spring. If I take and swap the good mag spring the mags will load to closer to capacity 10 or 11 but will not feed. with either spring. I need to pound them on ,my knee to get the next round to the top. They will all rattle around in there. Kind of bummed. Any advice on what my next move should be? I might get some extended basepads one day when I can afford them. I would trade AK mags for some working mags for the P 14. Buying new mags to try is not an option.

Me too. I just trace the A zone with a black marker. I would like to know where to get those 25% size targets to litter my house with.

Heck, that close? .ooo3 I wish!

Keep an eye out for round nose bullets to seat crooked using the wadcutter insert. To me it sounds like if the wadcutter insert helps with oal then the problem was almost certainly inconsistantly shaped bullets. I think your right! I guess now I need to find a good deal on some new bullets. Seems I loaded and shot the 1000 Rainier 115gr I had and the 1000 .40 rainier 165 gr bullets I had. Thats fine I wanted 124gr and 180gr bullets anyway. I love reloading and am bummed out I ran out of bullets already. Thanks everyone for all your help.

I was able to get my variance down to .005 by tightening my tool head up with cut feeler gauges. All of my tool heads are tighter or looser than others. It was very loose tightening it made a world of difference. I also am seating off the tip by using the wad cutter side of the plug for both 9mm and .40. I'm loading round nose 9mm and flat point .40 and it seems to work better.

I also like the Redding taper die better than the Dillon. No matter how tight you make it, it doesn't look like a roll crimp. Neat thing about the Redding seater die is changing between different bullets is a snap with the micrometer. Ya I think I'm sold on the idea.
