    Go-to subsonic 9mm ammo?

    147 gr. Xtreme RN 3.3 gr. Vihtavuori N-320 Chronographed from my STENS they average 920 FPS. Very quiet. They also run great in my Lage Max 10/31k. They will run without a suppressor as well.

    Thoughts on standardizing on nickel plated brass for my 9mm reloads

    Ni plated brass is great and certainly easier clean due to it's smoothness and " self lubricating" like properties. The case itself is thinner to accommodate the plating, so longevity tends to decrease. Additionally, they tend to be more brittle as you mentioned. The biggest nuisance is the...

    Lighter Sten mag spring?

    You can use a Modded Uplula for Grease gun Mags or STEN Mags. I still think the best STEN mag loader is is AUSTEN Loader. It's a world of difference over the issued spoon loaders. If you can find an original( usually $150), I've heard these work. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1060007308

    Lighter Sten mag spring?

    STEN magazine springs should be 12.5 inches or longer; below that you will begin to encounter malfunctions. I bought a bunch of newly manufactured springs from BRP a few years ago. I believe they were about $5 each and were about 13-15 inches in length. they've worked great thus far. I wish I...

    Buffer material?

    Application can vary, but 60-75A Shore is pretty good. You can go a bit harder if you like. If the urethane is too soft it will imprint or destroy the material more rapidly.

    Van Voorhees 22 conversion questions

    I would love to hear or read an interview with him. Medea Corp made a number of M3A1 Grease guns, some 1919's and AR-15 conversions prior to the 1986 cutoff. Many of the companies or individuals who contributed to the machine gun registry have dissolved, or passed away. The history of these...

    M2 Carbine. Registered receiver, registered trigger bar, or trigger group?

    Registered trigger groups are the most robust. They do not bear much mechanical stress, and are dimensionally simple enough to repair. They can also be swapped into different hosts. Registered receivers can crack or stretch, but it typically takes a higher round count before that can happen...

    More Uzi Pros

    I would rather they release a semi Micro Uzi with a provision for a stock.

    How many rounds to burn out a M11/9 barrel

    Per the ar15.com post: "The barrels from Green Mountain have been 100% and zero issues with them. They run and run and even though they still look and spec good after 8-10 months, I have the staff swap out for new ones just for liability reasons." You're more likely to need to reweld your...

    Punt guns

    Historically they were black powder which makes them exempt from the NFA. Hence why you can build black powder muzzle loading cannons without them having any real classification. If it loads from the breech it becomes a DD.

    RIA June21-23, 2024 NFA prices realized

    For that price I would have bought it. Parts are not common and the .32 French Long cartridge is no longer manufactured. It is possible to convert these to .380 ACP, even if it does seem sacrilegious. That MP-40 looks like it as lost in the mud of the Eastern Front for the past 80 years.

    Ac556 Recoil spring

    They technically interchange, but the the later series Mini-14 recoil springs are about an inch longer. Wolff also made increased tension springs, perhaps they still do.

    Gun safe locked up.

    This trick works on low end safes and electronic gates with a simple solenoid, however most decent safes have a clutch of some sort that must disengage before the shank of the solenoid will move. I believe Bischoff makes Tl-30 jewelry safes that are bit more sophisticated. It's worth a shot...

    "New Transferrables" - What all have you seen or head of?

    A status change from a post-sample to transferable? That sounds like an error. I would seek further clarification on that.

    Thoughts??

    Frank isn't very knowledgeable and he doesn't care. He's a shill who wants to monopolize the MG community. He has been deleterious to the community since the get go.

    G9 and external hollowpoints in SMG

    I've seen various tests using these types of projectiles and the results are varying. They seem to fall under the "gimmick" category, with no real world data beyond shooting windshields and whatnot. I don't shoot HP in my subguns as I have no need, but some projectiles will work better than...

    "New Transferrables" - What all have you seen or head of?

    Joe was a great guy; a wellspring of knowledge. I had never fired a Beretta Model 12 until befriending him years ago. His collection was not only extensive, but he also had a number of rare pieces. Everything he owned was in immaculate condition; Steyr MPI-69, German MG-42/59, Factory IMI UZI...

    RIA 5/17/24 Class iii realized prices

    $19k for an Erb STEN with no front sight. $82k for a Fleming MP5SD?? These prices are all over the place.

    "New Transferrables" - What all have you seen or head of?

    A user on Sturm pulled his listing for two pre-samples; a Walther MPL and a Madsen M50. His reason was the changing of status of certain pre-samples. I can't confirm that his items were eligible though.

    From dealer sample to transferable

    Allegedly, there is at least one transferable PK machine gun in the registry. I have heard of a few pre-sample PKM's existing, but never seen one. I don't imagine this group of 4,000 firearms would contain many, if any belt fed MG's. I suspect it is prevailingly sub-machine guns such as MP5's...
