Mega Rad Gun Thread

It has to be a crime that with the popularization of 3D printing nobody has made an XM8. Nobody should have had to rely on a Tommybuilt product.
XM5.7, i can post pics later but it is being worked on albeit wrong caliber. It is in beta and the last I saw they were using cerrosafe to create the bolt with a 3d printed mold.

speaking of, Tbostic's quality really nosedived after his first 5-6 years of doing plastic gun work, basically when the T36 became a thing. i almost got one of his XM8 builds but opted to just not bother if it's going to be so hit or miss since i actually shoot my guns. Chopstix Kid and Top Notch still does some HK work but have dropped off a bit due to family and other things since for them it's mostly a hobby still and in the case of Top Notch, they have other shop services that take up their time. i have examples from all three and other than turn around time, Top Notch is more "correct" compared to an actual G36 (ignoring stock block conversions) but for actual conversion with receiver plastic welding CPK is sturdier with steel reinforcements in more than just the receiver stub.

feels like me, gunplumber, ghilliebear and the HK GPMG (michael's machines, TSC mostly) people are the last ones doing steel HK kit builds, as there's a lot of variety of factory guns now, much more so than ever before. even gray guns is all on the plastic HK train for trigger work.

2, maybe even 3 more SHOT Shows worth of this dumb "tactical" lever gun fad...

I can see the appeal, but it's a really niche appeal. Get yourself a modernized, suppressor ready platform without the downsides of the slide loudly cycling every time you shoot. That being said, unless you're willing to get a can, there really isn't a point to them even in a ban state. And who knows? Maybe this 9mm lever gun will actually work.

No other manufacturer has had to do that for ANY other gun.

Weird. Its almost like the P320 is a shitty gun that will fire on its own due to shitty QC of Indian manufactured small parts.
Also, nobody has been doing it to any other Sig firearm including the p365 because the p365 is actually built from the ground up and isn't trying to retrofit a modular system into an existing platform. If it was really just Sig being victims, why aren't they doing it to any other of their guns
 
Sig is doing more damage control for the p320 in a very sort of embarrassing manner with their language.

cool story bro, I'm still not buying your crap

The Sig Cross had to be recalled shortly after release because it could fire with the safety on.
