Having an issue with a Superior Arms lower. All my magazines do fit the magwell, but are TIGHT. These include Government issued magazines, USA made NHMTG, and Israeli surplus orlite mags. I was wondering if this is a common thing with SA lowers, or if only they like particular magazines. I...

Just curious as to what would happen to any Class 3 weapons or suppressors I own if I died. If I bought a suppressor and didn't go the Trust route, if I died in 50 years from now would the ATF really remember to come to my house and find where I hid my suppressor? If I went with a Trust, my...

I'm interested in putting together (or buying a package) for my first can set up. Initially, I was trying to get a hold of a .22 advantage arms conversion for my Model 23, then machining an adapter for a Gemtech Outback II. The conversion kits are severely back ordered to the point where I may...

Another thread had got me back on to thinking about whether or not I should reload for my Glock 23, .40 SW caliber. I'd like to start a thread with members who have had KaBooms with their .40 caliber Glocks. Specifically, I would like to have listed in each case as much information as possible...

Can anybody compare the 3.5# Scherer connector to the 3.5# Lone Wolf in terms of which one has less "creep" or "mush" when shooting from reset? I installed the Scherer in my Glock 23 primarily based on the reviews I found at MidwayUSA. The scherer received a 5-star, while there were reports...

So I walk into my local shop and there is an unfired EG Makarov there, holster, 2 mags, the whole packaged deal for $250. Fit and finish is excellent, trigger very smooth. I already had bought a Bulgarian. I paid about the same for an unfired Bulgy. But this EG is nice. Would any of you...

I'm in agreement that most 1911s need .025" to .040" pretravel to safely make sure their half cock safety works, or at least, doesn't wear prematurely or make contact. The minimum pretravel my 1911 would take was .025". I used my stock parts, and although I would like no pretravel like some...

I'm installing an A2 rear sight assembly. I have a schematic with parts list. I am very familiar with the AR-15 but have not yet detailed striped a rear sight. I do not have a rear sight tool. If anyone has the time and is willing, could you please post me instructions/tips/secrets on the...

I took apart an Aguila .45 ACP round (it severely set back during multiple chambers as I was testing magazines...so I decided to measure the powder). According to Aguila, these loads should chrono 830 ft/sec. They measure 1.265" to 1.270". The powder charge weight was 5 to 5.1 grains. The...

Ok so I got thinking. A lot of people remove the firing pin block safety on their series 80 1911s. I was wondering why it is unheard of to simply remove the plunger from a glock for a target gun only to get rid of that mushy crappy take up in the trigger. I have NEVER heard of this, but have...

My trigger in my 1911 has more up and down side to side play then I would like. It is not necessary that I correct this, but then again, I am a tinkerer. I am more concerned about the up and down play then the side to side. I'd like to utilize the stock trigger, as fitting an oversized...

I'd like to remove the series 80 type FPS on my lawyer friendly equipped "competition use only" 1911. I found the spacer to replace the levers at Brownells, however I am curious to know where I can find a "plug" to close up the hole in the slide after removing the pin block? I know I can run...

I have a PT1911 (series 80 firing pin safety). I'm looking to find a reduced power firing pin plunger spring and or a light weight titanium plunger. Wolf makes both these items for the Glock series of pistols and their respective firing pin block safeties, but I can not find anything for...

I just picked up an ever so slightly used Taurus PT1911 (blued). The store owner, a good friend of mine, informed me the gun was sold to his friend's wife and had perhaps 1 or 2 boxes run through it before returned. I did get a great deal on it. As soon as I got it home I gave it the run...
