    Gauging interest in an adjustable bolt

    I figured it was a non-issue with the M11A1 CFW, but those old school 9mm M11A1 attempts were not as successful, using modified versions of the original cast bolt with upgraded recoil springs. The MAXI configuration used a special double spring, and worked fine in semi auto apparently but...

    Gauging interest in an adjustable bolt

    It sounds like this would have relatively quickly blown out the rear end of the gun. If it didn’t completely break it, it would at least bow it outwards a bit. Regardless of buffers or good TiG welds. The M11a1s were properly tig welded, but most attempts to run 9mm through them has resulted...

    Gauging interest in an adjustable bolt

    I wish I could relocate down south and get an FFL/SOT license, make my small gunbroker business into a genuine class 3 gun business, but I’m kinda stuck here, I own another business and it’s an industry in which I am licensed only in my state, and it would be a process to relocate and start over...

    Gauging interest in an adjustable bolt

    I do have a large collection of parts, accessories and paperwork, that is me. I live behind enemy lines and currently do not own any transferable MGs, but I have a fair amount of experience handling, tinkering with and shooting many of them over the years. I am a huge fan of the UZI platform...

    Gauging interest in an adjustable bolt

    Yes, I am 100% a purist with these guns. I am a collector and very much into the history. I’m only really interested in the vintage stuff, original factory guns and components etc.. I know it’s not a tack driver, or as pleasant to shoot in the original configuration, but that’s how it was...

    Slide safety differences across the 12-11-10 platform

    Can’t answer ya as to why there is a hole and a dimple, instead of just 2 dimples or 2 holes, but I can say that all of the factory guns (RPB and newer) I’ve seen have the hole and the dimple, as well as all of the good frame weld kits. I can’t say I recall ever seeing two dimples and no hole...

    Turan 9mm ammo

    Never heard of that stuff, which is probably why it is performing the way it is to be totally honest. Go spend a few more dollars and get some decent ammo. You have a machine gun, they are an investment. You wouldn’t purchase some expensive exotic tropical fish and then feed it generic “fish...

    Gauging interest in an adjustable bolt

    I personally have no interest in slowing down the Ingram. That said, I’m always happy to see any accessories that promote the use of the ORIGINAL upper on the gun. So yes, your bolt idea appeals to me, as a collector more than anything, because it would be one less reason for people to...

    A new MAC video, with some UK history.

    Nope. There was an outfit in the UK that manufactured their own version of the Ingram. They are long out of production but the demill regulations are very loose out there. All it takes is a live barrel and bolt to reactivate one of the demilled SMGs. Basically all the guns in the video are...

    A new MAC video, with some UK history.

    Cool, don’t see much about those section 5 Ltd guns other than British newspaper articles about criminals ending up with a whole bunch of them. In Europe the demill requirements are much looser than the US, receivers don’t need to be destroyed… just barrels and other internal parts. I suppose...

    Volunteer Commando Mark 45 Magazine Questions

    I thought most of those guns used grease gun mags (some use Thompson mags as well) but I am no expert on them. Just seen a lot of old ads in SGN and SOF magazine. Would love to find one of the “spitfire” open bolt varieties, (I believe those use GG mags as well) unfortunately the majority...

    M11a1 with Practical Solutions Side Charger Pic?

    Pretty tasteful side charger, I’m usually not a fan of the rails on top (or side cockers in general) but this one is a bit lower profile than others I’ve seen, pretty cool.

    CFW Bolt Just Sold on GB for $2900

    I’m gonna go ahead and shamelessly plug one of my auctions. If this is against the rules please remove it https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1044072460 Edit: I should add that these bolts are not the same as a CFW, you won’t get that 750rpm rate, but it can get you down to 850 with the right...

    CFW Bolt Just Sold on GB for $2900

    I don’t think we will be seeing any newly manufactured tungsten bolts anytime soon. I’m know Sam and Tina have every intention of doing a run of bolts, but I think it’s gonna be quite a while before the newly manufactured tungsten bolts are being shipped. These things take time, usually...
