How's the quality of the Olympic Arms? It came up online when I searched 40cal AR15.
I bought 2 uppers to go with my 2011 lowers, one for each kid, plus spare extractors and ejectors which I have not needed. I believe the breech is enclosed by the barrel extension, which is not the case with most 9mm ARs, but verify this.

Olympic Arms makes one. LRBHO works great. Buy the 10mm magazines if you load long. I milled a lower to use 2011 magazines so I will sell you some Olys for 1/2 price. Middle TN if you want to shoot one.

When the guy with the 45 , for some reason it is always a 45, why is it always a 45, spins around and has his loaded gun pointed directly at me, I do not say "stop" or make any other loud noises or sudden movements.
I endeavor to get myself out of immediate danger, and then I say stop.
You forgot to mention the Chip McCormick 10 round magazine

As used in 1911 parlance, the advertised poundage is not a rate but a force developed at a particular length. I don't know about other designs.

Thanks folks.... So the peening causes the left leaf to bend inward, the heat shrink centers the spring in the opening, and the metal shim forces it to the right?

Twice now, I have found that the sear spring has moved or tilted such that the left leg fell off the sear. (I can duplicate this with sloppy assembly) I searched the forum and found that I am not alone, but no clear fix was identified. Any help out there?

About 1/200 primers either don't get pushed out of the case, or they are stuck on the pin and reseated with pressure from the virgin primer on the priming pin. .40 S&W.... Any help here?

How about the life of hard chrome in a kydex holster that gets a lot of use?

Do you know which lower he selected? How was the trigger?
He bought the complete gun, Glock lower. It came with a 30 round magazine. Trigger was not bad for an OEM AR.

My shooting buddy brought a Palmetto Arms Glock-mag gun to my range today. He ran a wide range of factory and re-loaded ammo through it, and it ran great. He had to shoot the last round from some loads, but we should be able to solve this with the right OAL/bullet shape.

I loaded my 1911 9mms to 1.125.

First remove the mag latch to see if that is it. Dimensionally, however, STI magazines vary all over the place.
-
I see that the new magazines have smooth sides. Do they have any additional capacity, and do they use the same base pads?

Can anyone tell me if a stock STI in .40 will work with ammo loaded to 1.20"?
Thanks,

We have 4 STIs in the family. They all do.

Local range just banned bags for PCC and PRS. They want to see the flag..

You sure ? I emailed them months ago and was told no bushing 40's. What's the model number?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThey told me the same thing so I bought a Sig Sauer "Standard", trigger not bad at all! Flawless feeding from .45 ACP magazines with long loads.

Do not buy the regular Pro Ears. They work great but they don't power off automatically, the switches get bumped to on, and the batteries are expensive. They could easily fix it with no additional cost by using a switch that pulls to turn on.

There's a roll pin at the front that it hinges on. It being so close to the tab that the follower pushes there's not allot of leverage
Now I see, thanks.

Thanks a bunch. So the bar rises straight up, and does not pivot, huh?

This is as far as an average just resized brass will drop in.. Still .240" above the hood.. Same piece of brass drops right in a CZ and RIA barrel.. Forgot to add that the press is already camming over on the resizing die.

Now that is different. I took half a thou out of the throat with emory cloth, not the chamber. My Springfield 1911 throat was so long the bullet had already left the case before it hit the rifling.

Bought a SA Loaded 9mm and the barrel that it came with has a really tight chamber.. Some of the reloads that pass case gauging on two different gauges fail to go into battery.. This is the same ammo that I run in several other 9mm barrels with no issues.
I called SA and since I haven't tried factory ammo they had no guidance.. They wouldn't tell me who the barrel maker is either.
What reamer should I be looking at? I looked at Brownells and there are many to choose from.
Most cast bullets are .001 or so larger than jacketed. My Springfield 9mm 1911 had a long throat, but I had to open it up with emery cloth wrapped around a dowel to run cast bullets.

I built a .40 cal PCC to use 2011 magazines, but neither of my concepts for a BHO system look very robust so I have not built one. Could you folks with a BHO on a Glock magazine gun take a picture of the mechanism inside the receiver?
Thanks

Please, no flames until you try it, but I clean my guns with kerosene and I just dunk the mags in every now an then.

Thanks, but my advise is to buy one at any cost. Way too much trouble to do it yourself unless you have a CNC mill. The (.40 cal) 40 round mag is a hoot, though.
