I finally got to get out and shoot and had my first malfunction with the M1. Out of 50 rounds I had one fail to feed. Looked like the shell got hung up on the chamber opening at the exit port side. Is this a area that needs addressed with the M1?
I am waiting for IP to get some more quad loaders in, so during my down time I'm trying to get my M1 ready. I've done some grinding already but I'm not sure how far I can go before I turn my boom stick into a broom stick. I don't want to go to the edge but would like to make things easier to learn quads. Seeing that im a visual learner, anyone got some nice pics of M1/M2 modified loading ports. Would love to see some home and professional grinds.
Wish I could go to your upcoming seminar here in Spokane, but work calls. Have been trying to get my department to count it as a training day and give me the time off. Unfortunately my comments about 3 gun training benefitting tactical pistol training have fallen on deaf ears.
I carry a glock 21 for duty, shield 9mm for back up, glock 23 off duty, and compete with a glock 35. I really want a STI Edge but will not buy one until I retire. I have experienced training deficiencies when trying to operate different operating systems.
I jumped on it and have put some more coin into it making it 3 gun ready. Opened up the loading port but am still having difficulty loading two. Don't know if its my technique or if I have to open up the port some more. I'm having trouble with the second shell separating slightly and not getting angled down into the magazine tube ;shell runs into the receiver. Most likely my poor skill.
Well I finished my build and wanted to post some pics and questions but apparently I don't have the knowledge or privileges to get it done. She looks purty though and I'm anxious for some good weather to go shoot.
I just ordered a taran lifter, safety, bolt release, bolt handle, and Nordic +7. Last night I started opening up the loading port and will soon start stippling. I know its not needed but I love doing my little home gun smithing jobs.
