Mega Rad Gun Thread

Work bonus and tax refund hit so took a tiny bit out to order myself a Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol. I absolutely don't need an 18" tactical semiauto shotgun but "need" left the building as far as gun purchases go a long time ago.

Did the same exact thing last Friday, fellow spaghetti shooter. Already ordered a GG&G charging handle to replace the factory one

Alright boys, anyone buy kkm barrels that are semi drop? Will they actually fit? I really dont want to have to go to a gunsmith.

KKM has drop-in barrels that might require minor filing for Glock and M&P, however their 1911 match barrels all require fitting. generally if you are using a factory slide and recoil assembly it should drop-in without much issue.

This is supposedly an Indonesian super low bore axis pistol, I have searched through every article regarding Indonesian Arms Expo's on TFB's archive, I can find nothing. I have only this picture. If anyone can give me a name or better yet a view of the internals that would be great

Looks like nothing more than a mockup. I dont see how that trigger would even function with those dimensions.

Search for Komodo Armament P1-95. I can't access the company's own website and haven't found a manual. Assuming it's not vaporware, I'd really like to know how the action is designed. Gas-delayed blowback maybe?

Was gonna go with one of their 92 barrels.

for a Beretta 92 series, you will need to fit the rails where the barrel will slide in the frame. even on OEM barrel replacements, they are "semi-drop-in" barrels. a separate issue is the locking block and barrels fitment - these are intended to be fit together and poor fitment between the barrel and locking block can result in cycling failures or even cracking/breakage of the locking block. the locking block is the piece that is modified to fit the barrel, not the other way around. you can also get a new locking block and fit from that with jeweler files paying special mind to the "legs" of the locking block where it interacts with the frame.

typically, if the locking block fits the barrel with no slop and no "sticking" of movement, and there isn't any undue wear or damage, then the locking block can be reused and fitting the barrel's rails is the only thing needed for semi-drop-in aftermarket barrels. you will also want to ensure slide to barrel fit and that it properly locks up without binding - allowing the locking block to raise and lower as expected when the slide is moving.

I love guns so much I brush my teeth by putting a toothbrush in the barrel of my loaded Glock 41 MOS

Heh - I've held off on gun-specific accessories/modifications so far since I want to shoot it before I start making changes, but did order a sling, light+mount, a red dot and a shitload of shotgun cards.

I took this picture while i was out looking for crow and squirrel. Thought it came out well.
Trying some federal #6 loads was a pain to find any shot locally larger than #8 and #7 1/2 which work well on close game but won't get through the skin on longer shots.

#6 shot has been my go to 20GA small game round. I've had good luck at most Walmarts. Check out Cabela's online, they tend to have the same prices as Walmart and you can get it in bulk shipped. Even during the Summer of Love I was able to get 2 cases shipped to me for 25cpr.

for some reason my local walmart has only stocked 7 1/2 and 8 for the last year. just piles of the stuff. they have some premium fancy loads but i don't need to pay the high tech tax for what im doing.

I bought a new spec locking block (a stainless one with the relief cuts) and an NOS stainless .40 cal barrel, and it more or less all just dropped into a 96G Centurion slide. I don't like the 92 in fotay, so I don't shoot it much, but it ran a few hundred rounds through it without issue. I bought all the parts NOS directly from Beretta's web store about 10 ish or so years ago and then assembled them onto a 96FS Centurion beater that I got for around $400 or so. The 96G Centurion slide was even drilled for the front tritium vial, too.

These were all of course Beretta factory parts, so ymmv, of course.

You'd better be careful. Glocks don't have full chamber support

new stuff should be minimal fitting if any. it's mixing new and old that has a problem. several years of dealing with M9's in the arms room with busted and clapped out locking blocks and the army wanting to keep barrels until they 10k out makes a lot of mix masters. for the 96, be aware that there is an improved 3rd gen block specifically to address issues with hot .40 S&W loads with 165 +P or 180gr loads. if you stick with target ammo and avoid +p it's not a big deal.

I don't shoot it hardly at all, ran a few mags through it and found it "bleh", and stuck it in a box deep in my safe. 92s are just way better in 9mm.

New as a fellow white person gun owner dropped. The 97percent is a gun "safety" group who claims that actually 97 percent of gun owners support universal background check, red flag laws, and all your typical common sense gun control.

They quickly got blown out of the water by FPC and a bunch of pro gun people started following them, so deleted their own poll and locked down comments on all of their social media.

Is it safe to shoot steel cased ammo out of a stock G21?

 

[Yours Truly 2095]

Is it safe to shoot steel cased ammo out of a stock G21?

Yes you'd just be running a little extra extractor and maybe barrel wear. Good to have spares anyway. I need some for my main handguns. If you're not running a ton of it don't even worry about it

Completely safe.
The USA issued steel case during WWII just to toss that up in the air.
