I'm not 100% certain and it's hard to find very clear, objective descriptions. Like "this spring is X inches long and has Y twists" would be excellent.

are you literally making your own springs? springs in the JH/C and C9 pistols are largely identical (the exact model will determine which ones you have) with the single exception being caliber - the .45 ACP and .40 S&W models will have alternate springs available easily online if you need replacements. the .380 ACP uses the same springs as the 9mm Para with the exception of the action spring.

I have a handful of springs, some of them are probably duplicates. Mapping a spring in my hand to a part name to order online is the difficult part. (or rather, figuring out which springs I'm missing)

Edit: Though unrelated, I'd be interested in hand-wrapping glock mag wires for 3d printed mags. But alas, I cannot make standard capacity mags in my state. I can, however, purchase them in VA or PA and literally walk them over the border.

there are exploded diagrams available, and the springs are pretty different from each other - you should be able to work from pictures or disassembly videos. numrich probably has individual pictures of the parts as well.

My new ZPAP 85 finally got here, as much as I want to shoot this I don't know if I want to break into my stash of 5.56 for it.

I've got two more mags coming in and should be here next week, and there's a whole lot I want to do to it. Probably gonna spend the next couple a month slowly building this thing up.

Meant to comment on this the other day, but just wanted to say congrats! I hope you enjoy it, I really have fun with mine. They're surprisingly accurate little fuckers, which I think is due to the stability induced by how heavy they are.

I suggest the first thing you do though is replace the godawful stock sights with these when they're back in stock.

I'll keep those in mind but my main plan is to put a red dot on it, right after I get a brace for it.
 
What a massive coincidence Zastava just finally announced the US release of the ZPAP 90, it will be around summer of this year and should be priced around the same as the ZPAP 70 maybe a little more. My best guess is probably closer to 1200.

The details they've announced
18 inch barrel
adjustable gas block with 3 settings adverse, normal, and suppressed
The same hollow gas piston they use on the M91
and it'll ship with a new polymer mag

The only thing that might bug some people is that they don't plan to ship one with wood furniture,

I wish they'd put the folding stock they use on their military rifles instead of that Magpul abortion.

Glad to see the M90 finally come back though.

I honestly take that ugly ass Hogue stock. I handled an ZPAP 70 with it at my LGS and it feels way better than it has any right too.

Did something today I never actually thought I would do; reloaded 9mm. Had some Longshot and decided to work up a 124 grain and 147 grain load. Thanks Obama!

So Pelosi's House is already going full retard on new laws. This time calling for requiring federal licensing to possess or purchase ammo.
Click to expand...
The actual question is what law will they actually be able to pass, not what idiotic wishlist they have. That federal license to just buy some ammunition for example? Odds are that will go nowhere. The real things to worry about in my mind are red flag laws and the possible repeal of the lawful commerce in arms act.

I almost don't want to hate the keltec p50 but then they go and put a qd point on the back instead of a connection for a brace and just make it even worse.

If anything could have actually used a pistol brace for it's intended purpose, it's that. Although if you've gotten into a fight you need a pistol with 50 round mags for, you've probably gotten into the wrong fight.

Looks like they are banking on the aftermarket to come up with a brace.

Which is so unnecessary as they could've put a section of pic rail back there and if people wanted to do the push pull thing with their sling they could since they already make qd mounts for pic rail and everyone who isn't retarded could just put a brace on it.

This gun could've easily worked with what's already on the market but now people are going to have to wait for stuff made specifically for this gun.
