      9MM AR-15 style Carbine Build Documented

      Was reminded that I did not "report" as I said I would. I got the Ohuhu sight and installed it, removing the iron sights. It mounted easily and looks to be made well. Still not 100% happy with its adjustments; need more time on the range to do that. It seems to work very well but has one...

      HQL Help: My Wife's Fingerprints were rejected

      So what finally happened with my wife is this... She went back to the agency (private investigators) and they rescanned and re-submitted her prints. No charge. I think they then rejected those, but at that point they have some fallback method to "ID" her and used that. In the end it did not...

      Update on FTF Issue I had some time to work on the carbine this weekend and test fire it. So it seems that the most likely explanation for the failure to fire is that the trigger is not cocked because the bolt moves to fast when it is pushing on the hammer. I really don't want to replace the...

      9MM AR-15 style Carbine Build Documented

      Mostly 9mm Luger Speer Lawman 115 grain TMJ, but also tried some hollow point ammo: 9mm Luger Federal Classic Hi-Shok 115 grain JHP Hollow point. I indeed just got a CZ 75 and have a maglula for its mags as well. Don't think I could load 17 rounds without it. -Kramer

      I am afraid I am a bit of a newbie. Would you mind explaining exactly what could be going on in my case regarding the FCG? What is trigger slap, and what mass can cause hammer follow. Sorry for the dumb questions but hoping to learn. -Thanks, Kramer

      Benelli Montefeltro Break-In

      I seem to have caught the bug big time... after building a 9MM carbine and buying a CZ 75 I was obviously in need of a shotgun. After much debate, my friend infected me with much admiration for the Benilli intertia drive system. Went to Dick's and they had a 12 GA Montefeltro in stock and could...

      Love the Maglula! My biggest complaint about my 9mm carbine is loading a 32 round colt mag by hand. Boy was that painful and slow. I went online and found this at brownells: MAGLULA LTD. - COLT SMG MAG LOADER; and this video on midway showing a maglula loader made for this magazine. The video...

      Fix Range Tested I took the carbine to the range to test the bolt weight pin fix. I shot 150 rounds. On the 96th round it did not fire. Same deal--trigger would not pull as if it were not cocked. This time I payed a lot of attention to the state of the gun. I removed the magazine (4 rds left)...

      9MM AR-15 style Carbine Build Documented

      OK, thanks, I appreciate your help! Took bolt out and used punch to center that pin in the bolt assembly. It was definitely sticking out the right side. I looked in the upper receiver but did not see any scratches from it. I will try it out this afternoon if possible. Thanks for the help...

      Bought CZ-75, Need Mag to Travel

      Picked Up New CZ 75 SP-01 I picked up the gun last Wednesday and have now had the chance to shoot it 3 times at the range. I am loving the pistol. Every time I have gone I have gotten more accurate with it. I think getting the feel of the trigger is the key to shooting better with it. It is...

      Bought CZ-75, Need Mag to Travel

      United included CZ 10 round magazines when I picked up the gun. Though I now went out of state and have 4 17 rd mags so not much use for them, but better too many than too few!

      9MM AR-15 style Carbine Build Documented

      Do you guys mean the thing marked by my yellow arrow? If so, how do I go about securing it? The 9mm CMMG bolt is a bit of a mystery to me. I cannot find much info on the web about its different parts or how to disassemble/assemble it. -Thanks, Kramer

      Previous Test Fire Result I forgot some more history to help in the detective work... Since Brownells was taking so long to deliver, I test fired the gun without a bolt catch. So it had the new ST-9X buffer and new flat wire spring installed. Shot about 100 rounds and it never misfired at...

      But the trigger worked 100% of the time before I broke the bolt catch. And I think others have had good luck with those POF triggers. I hope so cause that was the one splurge in spending on this gun. And I love the feel of the trigger.

      Bolt Catch Worked Fine Forgot to mention that the bolt catch worked after last round was fired. Caught every time. So that is good. -Kramer

      9MM AR-15 style Carbine Build Documented

      Bolt Catch Replaced, Test Firing Results Not So Good I finally got a new bolt catch and associated hardware from brownells. Boy, their shipping is slow. Reminds me of pre-Amazon days. Get so spoiled by the prime shipping. But I digress. I went to install the new bolt catch. My lower...

      Spikes ST-9X Buffer I got the Spikes ST-9X buffer today in the mail from 9mmar.com. They are very fast at shipping--gotta like that. It is a little lighter than the advertised 8.5oz but still a lot heavier than my stock 9mm buffer: It is almost an inch longer than the old buffer...
