    Gun test collection

    in Books, Movies, TV & Music

    Posted

    Good Morning Benoverse.

     

    I am dealing with my Dads estate this weekend and one thing that I would like to sell is his complete set of Gun test magazines. It appears to be a complete set from the beginning of the collection.

     

    Before I randomly pick a price does anyone know what these might be worth?

    The new Barsto barrel is super tight.  I've stuck two rounds in that fit fine in my 40 revolver.  I will have to get it reamed, either as a 40 long or 10mm.  Still deciding.

    Did you make a choice?  I would go for .40 long if it were me but then again I was never a fan of the 10mm even in the BREN 10 days. . .

    Match Ammo - Practice Ammo

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    I actually have three categories

    1) Practice only - I bought some older reloads from the one person on the planet I will shoot his ammo - This has no gauging involved and no consistency worries - gauging rejects also go in this category

    2) Local match - Mostly Gauged - run this in practice and in local matches - Bulk packaged.  most makes major but these loads tend to be right at 165

    3) Major Match - 100% gauged everything at 1.195 (Limited shooter running .40 cal) running Montana Gold FMJ 180 projectiles at 170 PF 

     

    I used to use the Push through die for the Major match ammo but have quit and just throw those that do not drop into the cause gauge into the Practice only buckets. 

     

    Cheers

    P14 mags in a P16?

    in Para

    Posted

    Evening Paul. I was very hopeful, as I am sure you are now, to see if I could convert P14 mags to run in a P16. I found 2 issues when I started down the road.

    1) feed lips are just a bit wide. No problem I took some material out and welded it back up.

    2) The width on the 45 mag is too wide. This is the one that took my attempts out.

    If you can squeeze the feed lips and get a spacer to work you just might be able to make it happen.

    Other than that I would say simply use it as a barny mag and move on.

    40 Cal Swage backup Rod for the 1050

    in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment

    Posted

    Well Benoverse, I have been challenged to swage some 40 cal ammo for a friend and started looking at my 40 cal head for the 1050 and realized there is no backup rod for the swage station. Then I realized I had never before Swaged 40 cal ammo.

    So what are people using? The 9mm backup rod? Should work just fine but thought I would ask before I just assumed.

    And yes I called Dillon this afternoon to order one and found that they don't have one either. Their 1050 conversion kit for 10mm and 40 has a 'expander' in it not a back up rod.

    Cheers

    And for those that are wondering I have heard that the Coast Guard has requested 40 cal be crimped for water proofing.

    1050 primer detonation

    Now that this has been a while I have loaded .45 ACP again several times manually and can attest that the Large Swag rod locks the press up pretty tight.

    While I do not load with an Autodrive I would imagine that when adjusted properly (And that is the trick) you would be able to stop the press with the swag rod in a SPP.

    I do have a buddy (Ken Birdsell) who loads with an Autodrive in 9mm. From what I have seen of his setup I do not load the quantities that would benifit from the AutoDrive.

    Cheers.

    300 BLK Suppressed Build need handgaurd advice

    in Rifle - Technical

    Posted

    I have my 11.5 in 5.56 setup like this with a Seekins BAR. I still love the setup but sometimes I wish I hadn't forced myself to always run a can. I've run it pretty hard doing mag dumps, even ran it in a 3 Gun match. No temperature issues or anything else worth mentioning. It is just a solid all around home defense setup.

    If you,want to replace the can with a flash hider the 5.5 inch ones popular back in the 90's might extend the barrel enough to run the same hand guard without the can.

    Just an idea.

    There's the aero COP M4 mono upper. I'm putting the carbine length one on order for my 8.5" blk build soon. Can't find the ID on it at the moment.

    Is the link to the 15 inch version. Yes it reports a 1.5 inch suppressor will fit nicely. and an ID of 1.8 inches. The biggest drawback is that it appears to require their upper. . .

    Direct quote from above link "This handguard does not come with a barrel nut to attach it to a standard upper. They will bolt directly to our M4E1 upper receiver."

    Perhaps there are others that don't require the dedicated hand guard.

    Whoa, link went to the wrong place entirely.

    http://aeroprecisionusa.com/aspx/store/productdetail.aspx?pid=58

    Try this one.

    It's a monolithic upper, but it looks awesome on a BLK pistol:

    So, yeah, I'm suggesting something that just mates with their upper because it is an upper.

    You are correct your pistol looks awesome! And the price is just a little more than the parts required combined.

    So can you do me one more favor? Can you measure the narrowest Inner diameter of yours at the barrel end?

    Thanks.

    George.

    300 BLK Suppressed Build need handgaurd advice

    OK Gang I am building a 300 BLK upper in a Suppressed 8" build. I want the handgaurd to come down and cover the first few inches of the can thus it needs to be longer than 9 inches and have an inner diameter bigger than the outer diameter of the can which is 1.625

    I have been looking at the Rock River parts and some of them I like the look of but they do not lock in place securely enough for my tastes. I do love the POF stuff but they don't sell just that part and I am not sure of the ID.

    So here is the question.

    What handgaurd locks in place with the Upper and has a Inner diameter of 1. 750 inches? OAL of the handgaurd also has to be longer than 9 inches. . .

    Thanks for any advice you have.

    Thanks in Advance.
