How do you have the M249s but also have a fin grip

Would you believe me if I told you this is legal in California? It's also easy enough to take off and put back on; not that I'd ever do that within the geographic area of the Republic of California.

Well I guess that explains how you could afford it, if I could choose between one-month's rent or M249 and ramen I would make the same decision.

Asked elsewhere, but figured why not here too.

Building out my M249S case, and looking for ideas, thinking;

3 Box Mags
2 Rows of Magazines stacked 3 deep
1 Extra Barrel
1 Optic
1 Tool Kit (headspace timer, etc)

I recommend the grid organizer from magpul for the pelican case. I found it better to have a modular case, and I've never been too happy with my foam cutting attempts.

Bought the V800 (Double Gun) as it seemed like it had the most overall space; knew I wanted to have as much as much as possible in one box. Will give it a shot and see how it goes.

My question is, do you or anyone else have any idea what could he have done to that rifle, My assumption was that he played with the buffer and slapped a huge muzzle brake on.

fixed firing pin with small FP spring, removing the hammer with a keeper pin, a lever release on the trigger that extends to interact with the front of the lower surface of the carrier (basically an open bolt conversion), and adding a reciprocating mass that travels with the buffer via a cup or something that acts as a hammer. combined with a stiffer action spring and shaving down the locking lugs with a ramped version, you now have to overcome forward inertia on top of additional resistance rearward to balance out the recoil. old fashioned artillery pieces had something like this for lightweight field guns, allowing what is essentially a controlled out of battery firing cycle.

this was a "dead-line" field modification since the 80's for the FP weapon in bradleys when they break the roll pin that kept the sheet metal toggle thing in place so the disconnector functioned. very low recoil but wears out the action pretty quickly and is unreasonably prone to malfunction as it can "out run" the magazine.

ditch mags, they barely work on a SAW, use the nutsacks and get a vickers sling for it. tactical tailor makes great sacks for belts that are easier to work with than the plastic boxes. you'll also want a carbon scraper and some kind of pick or other tool for links that get stuck under the feed.

safety harbor has their MP5 tailhook A3 type brace back in stock, i find out about this 3d printed lower super safety nonsense, and i'm at a point in time where i need to not blow the dough on it. what can you do?

Wait for the Leber V2 housing. Should be released this year.
Will have a stamped sheetmetal housing that drops into the 3d printed grip.

I know, but people always ask; may as well have a few to showcase that they have feed problems. No lie, taken it to the range twice, and everybody who wanders over asks about how it handles regular magazines; and even then, it only handles the generic USGI magazines better than others. All your fancy Mag Pul and everything else brings more problems than not.
 
So apparently Pietta of italy will be making a Colt Python copy using the original action. MSRP will be 1,000 USD. This is strange and i don't know how well it will sell. the original action on the python was weak and goes out of time when shooting .357 mag. the new colt python has a new action and is made to a very high quality that i question if pietta can match for just 1,000 dollars. plus, a actual colt Python does not cost much more than a 1,000 anyway. so i question the viability of this gun.

I wish they would instead make an 1892 or similar, those things are absolutely trashed on the secondhand market.

i would pay good money for a stainless Webley Mk 1 4" service revolver in 9mm with moon clips. different and modern and the heavy steel frame should be fine for 9mm loads.

in other news, Clymer is modifying a .45 reamer for my .45 win mag USP project. am excite.
 
Alright another fun questions for kiwis whats your favorite AR-alternative? I recently decided to drop some cash on a new mini 14 and excited to pimp it out sucks the stainless models run an extra 200 more from an already steep price tag any bullpup fans?
