Re: Critique my 22LR design Updated 7-18-2012

Machine it right from the get go and you won't need to take up tolerances with a spring. You should NEVER use a spring inside a silencer. Machine 6 or 7 baffels with +/- 0.000 tolérances is very difficult or impossible. I know that aac, Gemtech, SWR and several other does not use a spring washer in...

Re: Critique my 22LR design Updated 7-18-2012

Nice design. But can I give you some advice to save money on machining and on the matérial without reducing the performance and to reduce the weight. I recommend you to use the 28 T.P.I. tread pitch because the tread is less deep in the tube and the tread are more fine. Maybe some have a different o...

Re: Beretta slide-lock

You say... for only a little more you can get a real KAC ??? The price of a real KAC slide-lock is around 3000$ to 5000$ . If you find a gun shop that sells a KAC for less than 3000$ PLEASE shoot me the link !!! Now you draw ? What type of software do you use ? Because there was not long ago, you c...

Re: Beretta slide-lock

:shock: That's the cost of a new Beretta, a threaded barrel, a high-end suppressor, AND the tax stamp. Wow. What might be easier would be to find someone here in the states that is a gunsmith (and thus can accept/repair/modify firearms) that could do all the work on our existing frames/slides if we...

9mm subsonic load with 158gr bullet

Hi everyone, I want to reload 9mm subsonic ammo with 158gr bullets (.38/.357). I found several post on the net on the subject, but I can not find a post that explains how to reload properly. I buy a winchester 158 JHP - Notched and the diameter is .356 I think is okay because the 9mm bullet diameter...

Re: Beretta slide-lock

I was kind of hoping to be able to just buy the components of the slide lock as a kit of some sort.. I have many gunsmiths as friends who would gladly install it. Maybe rent a jig? I don't know I appreciate all your work but I was thinking like $300-$450 for parts.. Sorry I am out :( It's a joke ? ...

Re: Beretta slide-lock

Would you entertain selling your design as it is or trading your design for a finished 1 finished slide lock and drill jig? Selling my design it's a option. Trading my design for a finished slide lock I dont think so. It depends on the person who makes it. But right now, this 2 options not interest...

Hi, I received the price from my machinist today. Regarding the beretta parts there is not a big difference of the price between a slide and a full gun. Option 1 -If I ask 1,600$ the kit come with the M9 slide, all the slide lock parts, the drilling JIG, the drill, the instruction on how to drill t...

Re: Re:

(from memory) I remember watching a video where they person had a full auto handgun. They placed a fingerstop or VFG to add a grip to control it. It popped or broke off and his hand moved into the line of fire. Only got a nick, but I'm sure it wasn't fun. If it was the one I saw that was floating a...

I received two very interesting pictures of the KAC slide lock on the beretta forum. Have can see the pine on the top of the slide lock is fully extended when the slide lock is open. The pictures are not very good but you can see the pin fully deploy. I will make some modification on this pin at the...

Will this work with the slanted dust cover version 92s (all new production models) as well? It's a good question! I'm not sure because I don't have any Beretta 92FS with a slanted dust cover; but I believe that yes it should fit, because if you compare size with the picture that I paste on the fram...
