9MM Limited Guns

[D.Hayden]

I'm looking at building a 9MM Limited gun.

I'll use it for IMG 3 Gun matches, practice, and probably shoot Limited minor occasionally.

For now, I'll just swap breech faces, throw in a barrel, and a new extractor.

Magazines, and springs for 9MM will be new things to look at.

What magazine tips do people have?

What spring rates do you run?

Heavy guide rods?

Anything else to watch for?

Sounds like your planning to use the SV removable breechface? Be sure to follow their instructions to the letter when swapping the breechface. Over or under torque on the screw can cause big problems with them. I have one on an open gun and I had issues with it loosening up until I used SVs instructions exactly. Haven't had a problem since.

It's funny.. I'd never touched it before.. TMC was showing me how to take it apart (never even noitced that set screw before).. he was having a problem gettting the allen wrench to engage. Turns out, the screw was so loose already he couldn't feel it engage.

Difference is about 1mm.

Mags are easy. If he'll do them, send them to Beven. Otherwise...you have an open gun right? Use the 140mm mags and it should run fine.
