Biggest issue with Thompson mags, is (this is theory as I havent run one) that the track the mag rides in seems like it would be awkward for reloading quickly. I have some mean mags for 9mm. They are pretty reliable, i have quite a bit of wear on the ejector. I use them for just test stuff...

@root that is where I bought mine from. Glad to know the new manufacture are good. @slimshady yeah, standardized magazines are where I think everybody should head. As far as handguns, I think that despite me personally not being a glock fan, that glock mags should be the standard. But for not...

Thanks for the input guys. My first thought had been the 10mm HK mags. The price was the main drawback. I ordered a grease gun mag, will see how that works out. Tweaking feedlips and modifying followers is no big deal. I like the mag catch style on them as well, which is a bonus. It is strange...

Been kicking around a project in my head. Thinking about putting together a 10mm PCC. The only thing I am not super interested in designing from scratch is the magazine, if there is a good mag design out already. I do not want to use Glock mags. I want to use vertical mags, or canted forward. So...

I have a 18" 5.56 with rifle length gas. Flatwire spring, h3 buffer. Carbine tube. Gassed for a can. Very smooth, runs 630-650 with green tips and handloads. Only thing it hates is hornady frontier ammo. Turns into a bolt action.

I had one. The grip is pretty long and uncomfortable. I have pathetically small hands, so a normal guy would probably have no issue there. It was a fun toy, but was kinda expensive for me for that purpose at the time. I sold it with a vortex strikefire 2 that I hated. The gun wasnt bad for...

It will be interesting to see which direction they go. What the improvement should be that they are doing would be making the slide heavier. If they tried straight up bypassing any potential to use a frt, they would lose any informed customer from ever buying a taurus again. Only reason I could...

+1 on the plague stuff being trash. "Cloud" is a misnomer. It is just marketing to make putting something on someones server farm sound pleasant. "AI" (another marketing gimmick) is a excellent data sorting/correlation algorithm. It could have its purposes, but the push is towards all of its non...

That is nuts to "have" to pay for the software when you did not get anything extra from it. All of the subscription models have really ruined everything. Many of the old standby industry standard programs have gone to that model. It allows them to extract more "value" out of their customers for...

I have no experience with solidworks due to the price, and no free/trial version. The price is ludicrous, especially for hobbies. I like the f360 layout for sketching. I came from blender, so for technical things it was a breath of fresh air. Freecad is a extremely cluttered UI that I dont find...

Have never tried tinkercad, as I dont like the online browser based stuff. Fusion 360 is the best free program. It does CAM as well which is nice if you get into that. There is a sharp learning curve, and sometimes basic things will be frustrating. But overall, I think it is worth it. You can...

Welcome. I agree with jackflack. I would recommend buying new rather then converting. Colt mags have a number of different features then the Uzi mags. Often Uzi mags are dimensionally different as well. Specifically with the overlap weld versus the butt weld for where the sheetmetal meets. Im...

Nah. What throws me are the fractions!

In my opinion, you will get the most value and satisfaction out of a 3d printer if you learn to do some CAD. I use Fusion 360, which has some things that I dont like, but is overall a pretty good program. I use the free version. Freecad 1.0 is as the name implies free. They recently updated it...

A good site that compiles a list of files is https://guncadindex.com/ They have crawlers that search for files. So it will always update. There are a lot of trash files out there that are not worth the plastic to print. And some that are decent. Hoffman tactical has some pretty good files...

3d printing has come a very long way. I started with a Ender 3 and would not wish that on anybody. The biggest issue I have with Bambu Lab, and why I would not buy one, is an issue with the company itself. I dont know if they rolled back the "feature" as they did get a lot of backlash from the...

While I admire the skill and engineering that went into this, I think it makes the statement that just because you can, doesn't mean you should. On the other hand, the only way to make it funnier is to actually put sights on it. The velocity has to be straight garbage. I think that is is the...

Some dude made a 50BMG upper for his 1911.

I dont have any for Uzi or Colt, but I do have one for my PPQ. Works great. Zero issues

Very cool! I think the only actual negative for the gun that I have heard that doesn't show up on a spec sheet (which is then a matter of preference) is issues with the handguard mounting. I think A&S may be referring to Brass facts video on it. He mounts lasers for NV, so the handguard was a...
