Hmmm, Mckay, I’ve seen that name mentioned in some recent posts…

If you shoot a lot of non-jacketed lead bullets I would think you’d need to dissolve the lead out of your barrel. I have had reduced accuracy after shooting .45 Colt lead bullets out of a Ruger revolver and a Marlin rifle and de-leading both barrels made everything right again. There’s lots of...

If it’s any consolation, most reputable builders in the AK world are currently overwhelmed. People are screaming for their builds and not getting much response because admin tasks like constantly answering emails takes a lot of time. Which is one of the reasons I’ve been building my own AK’s...

I learned a long time ago that steel plates shoot back. And mild steel is the worst because it becomes pockmarked. 25 yds is my minimum distance for pistol and 50 yds for rifle. Even then I sometimes get pelted with bits of copper jacket and lead core. The hardened AR 500 plates are not so...

The ALG triggers are the best and also the priciest.

^^Yes^^ I use 1/16” stainless TIG rod to suspend items in the pot. I also do it outdoors because I’m not sure I’d like the fumes in my shop.

In light of these various stories about McKay I’m gonna make a prediction: There will be no joy from McKay for anyone who bought these extractors (unless attempting a cc chargeback). I agree with the “let it play out” sentiment but all signs point to “we fell for it and were screwed”. It...

Well that’s just great. I bought two and they raped me on shipping. I will install one and test it and see how that goes before I raise hell with them. Mine also have a seam on the back and one is more curved than the other.

I feel your pain since I also reside in VA. I’m also in acquisition mode for everything I want before the new legislation.

Thanks for the McKay link! Those extractors are NOS IMI. But Jazus, $22.88 to ship two tiny pieces of metal 😒

That second vid is NOT by Mars but rather ART. I find it interesting that that you only see the front half of the 10/22 in the ART vid. Why don’t they want you to see the trigger finger or anything else? Neither I nor two friends who I sent the ART FRT’s to can get them to work. I have a lot...

After reviewing a bunch of vids I took of myself shooting my two TX22’s I can say that it has happened to me at least twice. Firing stops with the trigger pulled and resumes with trigger release. I try to keep a light trigger pull but it’s a relative thing especially during mag dumps. I’ve...

Apologies, gentlemen! I should have known better than to say such a thing without checking. I did just check (that TX22 needed a deep clean anyway) and of course there’s no internal hammer. I guess someone on the internet said there was and that made it into an AI report. I’m gonna edit my...

Here’s an AI technical assessment of the TX22 that seems to be pretty informative. There are plenty of details but I don’t have enough knowledge of the pistol to know if any of this is inaccurate. The report does not address using the TX22 with a FRT...

After my dealings with A.R.T. over their 10/22 non-frt I wouldn’t send them money for any product. Buyer beware!

I meant to do this already but I assumed it would still beat up the FRT. I’ll have to try it since I spent $ on it. Also, it feels like a luxury to have two TX22’s with FRT’s. One with weights and the other unaltered that seems to run anything I put in it. I broke into the 10 year old stash...

With a TORO model you can at least add a brass/copper/steel/SS plate under the optic. This brass plate with screws weighs close to 32g in addition to the 17g stainless insert that is still inside the slide (not the one that beats up the frt). I don’t have a can yet but I think these pistols...
