    Velocity VMAC 9 review

    The only item I have purchased from VMAC is a carbine barrel with shroud. I was entirely satisfied with the quality of these parts. Parts being the operative word and implying "no assembly work" was involved before I got them. Do you find the various hard parts to be individually of decent quality?

    Regarding the R stamp: For what it is worth, this image of a trunnion stamped R makes it look to me like the "MAC 6" QC stamp was doubled exactly like the R it shares space with. Further the double stamping of both the R and the QC are about identical. I wonder whether it was a single QC...

    Gauging interest in an adjustable bolt

    I am interested, even though my 45 is a semi auto and always will be. It is entirely possible that your idea will work or can be made to work to moderate the tremendous sudden forward and counteracting forces of the open bolt mechanism and make for greater accuracy. The semi auto numbers broaden...

    Anyone remember this RPB catalog?

    This is quite funny. Probably resulted in repercussions too...stolen guns unable to be entered in database, assumptions the gun is a homebrew machinegun, etc.

    The pictures I have seen of the genuine screw type takedown use a long shaft screw on that end. But on mine the screw is maybe 1/2" long and threaded full length. Both the pieces have a driver slot. The Velocity barrel was an in stock item. I thought $180 for an immediately available barrel...

    The stock arms do look very short in your picture. The length of the arms on my stock is about 8 3/8" and the spacing of the notches is about 7 1/4". How does that compare to yours? The butt plates are different as well, mine being crescent with no recurve. I have seen many pictures of both...

    Police Model origins

    It is no wonder there are so few police models around. The market timing was terrible. When I was sworn in in the very early '70s, the departments who wanted submachineguns already had them,. Quite often these were Thompsons or Reisings that had been in the armory as long as the oldest old...

    The mag release is aftermarket, but the original came with the gun. No other prior changes were present internally . Collapsed, the stock makes the gun 26 1/2" OAL with an 16 1/2' barrel, and that is with stock stopped against the semi auto FCG (and not locked in any notch). Extended it locks in...

    I will take some pictures. You misunderstood. The stock block hardware DOES have the usual park/blue finish, but the two weld points, the stud attaching welds themselves, on the bottom of the upper, show no blue. The welds are nicely done though, which makes me think it was not a garage weld...

    "...Mine has a barrel shroud with small holes in it in groups of 3s, with the hooded Williams front sight and a checkered wood forearm. ..." What is the height above bore of your front and rear sights? Calculating sight heights for an open bolt gun surely differs from methods for locked breach...

    My carbine is Cobray stamped, RPB marked, and has the collapsing stock you refer to as the Commando stock in the GB sale 1028397461. Like that anyway. Has two position notches, the shortest unavailable due the the semi-auto assy frame stopping forward travel. Has stock adjust block. My stock...

    Mine is 6 lower than yours. Wish I had an original barrel and one of those OEM wooden buttstocks

    I have a very early sac carbine with no "R" anywhere and the cobray mark only on the right side rear of the receiver.
