OK Bob's put to bed. Where the heck does, "And there's your dinner" come from? Terrel says that one sometimes.

While I am waiting on a new carrier I decided to try a fix. I noticed the bushing originally installed has a step drilled in it. But it appeared to be installed upside down with a worn out nylon...
I had Ron Williams build me a barrel, mag adaptor, and I think the bolt. It's a gas gun and super soft shooting. He has built a bunch of them and answered any questions I had along the way. PPS-43...
Good write up about an interesting set up. I've had a soft spot for Tok. for a while. An AR with a PPS-43 mag is a pretty fun little outfit.

Well, the old saying, "fix one thing at a time so you know what the culprit was" bit me here. I put a new base on, tightened up the indexing pin, adjusted the stop on the primer slide, put in new...

Thanks Rimfire,

Having a little trouble with a new to me Piggyback press. I have another Piggyback2 press that I bought new and it's been good to me for close to 30 years.
I just got this second press a few months...
I ran across a good show on You Tube about super and rowland. The music sucks but worth putting up with for the content. The channel is Go big or go home. And the show is 5 variations of 45 ACP. I...

For some reason my 16" Mech Tech is way softer shooting than 10" New Frontier AR. Both are 45ACP. Also consider getting some 45 super brass.
Hey SOS,
I am thinking about getting a two stack to go with my EZ. What's your opinion on the thumb safety?
I bet there is a fella at Clark Customs that could/would answer this question if the right guy asked him. I haven't spent enough money there yet so I am not the guy. With the new V2 dampner system...
So no one has mentioned the comp/brake slowing down the unlock on 460 Rowland. I thought that was the magic sause to 460 all along?
Somewhere I think there is slow motion footage that debunks this...
"talk to me Goose" we need more 30 SC info. How is that new mold working?

Well I struck out getting a new shell plate holder, they ended up being out of stock and discontinued. Since then I have found a second almost complete unit. We will see if this one is better? One...

Sad to see this thread dying. I learned alot about 32 that I never saw elsewhere. Recently bought a 30 Super carry handgun and a Hi Point carbine. They feel like 32 ACP Magnum. Maybe we will get some...
I just heard about a fella that works at Hi Point. He is working up loads for 30 SC with jacketed 50 and 65 grain bullets. Close to 2500 fps out of 16" barrel. And over 1800 in Shield EZ. Wouldn't...

After visiting with a Brownell's tech I tried emailing Nighthawk about buying a mag, barrel, and slide to put a 1911 SC together? The reply was "Not selling any SC parts at this time". Made me wonder...
Thank you SOS. It was interesting to hear about the comparisons made to 7.62x25. Tokarev is one of my favorite oddballs to play with.
One thing I did want to bring up when I read about the...
