OP, I've tried the BDM magazines a few times over the years. If they are down loaded and handled with care some enjoyment can come from using the BDM mags. In the end mine were all sold, exploded, or split. In my experience, the subgun.store magazines are the best at the moment. Enjoy, K2

Hi OP, What is in box 4a on the registration (F4) is whatever someone put on the form when registration was submitted. Many tube guns have "England" as the maker. It is not uncommon with F1 guns. FOIA or a good eye on the welds can be helpful. Enjoy the hunt, K2

Hi Jtm35a2, We started using chamber flags in our subgun matches about 20 years ago. We did some testing on the melting issue as the Club requested they be inserted in the chamber. The Sinclair International chamber flag had significantly better heat resistance than other generic flags. The...

Hi Naginata5, Maybe for the TASK slowfire conversion. Very popular years ago. K2

Hi CQB762, It appears to have the muzzle end trunnion diameter for the S/A trunnion. Depending on the fit I normally turn those to 0.708". The F/A diameter is in the 0.747" range. Enjoy, K2

Hi All, ball detent works great. My kits will run w/o the ABW with the ball detent installed. BTW, putting the ball in is challenging. I cut a sliver of CC as wide as the rail to keep the ball/spring in place over the bumps. Is there a better method of installing the ball? Enjoy, K2 ps...

Hi Dirk, If you ever shoot jacketed bullets, you can get a ring in the barrel from a separated jacket. I've seen 9x19 with a pronounced crimp on the bullet. The crimp can crack the jacket and when the cartridge is fired, a short tube of jacket material can remain in the barrel. Function is...

Hi Rusty, If JD removed the blocking bar, anything else can be fixed. In other words, if the bolt has a slot in the rear right side, it is limited to running with that slotted bolt. Enjoy, K2 ps. JD's work was at times rough but he did many, many guns

Hi All, Maybe? Being a former British colony, might it be a 3/16 BSW? The Whitworth British Screw threads are used on the nut that holds the stock to the receiver IIRC. The thread pitch on the 3/16 BSW is 24 TPI. YMMV, K2

Hi, Hacker - Are you running the Versa-11 with the M31 Drum Magazine Module (fits drums, coffins, sticks)? There is a dedicated Versa-11 magazine adapter that only fits the M31 sticks (no coffins, no drum). I'm interested others experience with this magazine adapter. Thanks, K2

Hi Rx.7, Poulin's has been selling OB pistols for the last year or two at their auctions. Not sure what they have for the future. K2

Hi All, Not glamorous but found what looked like a mini uzi SBR, solid stock (not folding or wood IIRC), with about a 14" barrel with something on the end. It came to the US that way as it was (at the time) a pre-sample SBR. When it came out of the safe I didn't think much of it. I should...

Hi All, Thanks to those on the forum that have been helping out. To date the "functions great" score on HK manufactured firearms (F/A & S/A) is 100% great (3 for 3). The testing on a non-HK 91 gun indicates additional work is needed as the magazine doesn't fit the mag-well (w/o sanding)...

Hi All, Here is a typical magazine (33 rounds) vs the HK version (20 rounds). I started with plastic 20 round magazines as the objective was a lighter mag belt in competition. Everyone wanted bigger and now they are 33 rounds. While the 33 round magazines fit in the typical Bundeswehr 2...

Hi All, The magazines are printed, modular and are all plastic. There may be steel feed lips in the future but not planned right now. The feed lips are similar to other plastic feed lips I've used and have gotten 5000-7000 rounds before they were unreliable. (It took 18 months to do that...

Hi TheycallmeMike, Here are some good hints: https://www.uzitalk.com/forums/index.php?threads/are-all-uzi-springs-equal.89381/page-2#post-811141 Enjoy, K2

Hi Jtm35a2, Turning down the breach end of a 22 conversion barrel for the F/A kit to the same diameter as the S/A barrel breach is common, acceptable, and it works. It takes about 2 minutes in a good lathe to turn the breach end of the 22 barrel. Don't worry. The interrupted cut isn't a...

Hi Dirk, While you are in there, check your top cover clearance. If the bolt is allowed to "float" up with a large top cover gap, accelerated sear wear can be experienced. Enjoy, K2
