  1. Uh huh. And what's the reason for that?
  2. I thought that silicon oil spray was perfectly fine for the O-rings and other rubber parts? Agreed on the cleaning though. Oil or spray, I clean the gun every outing to get more paint junk out of it.
  3. Do you run kydex mag pouches? If you stick an empty TM mag into a kydex or molded plastic pouch, the follower can wear down as you insert it. It's far more noticeable on the single-stack 1911s, but I can see it happening on the double stack handguns too. It's possible for the notch in the slide to wear down with extended use. You'll have to examine it and the way the slide stop locks into it to doublecheck that. There's also the possibility you might need to loosen up the spring holding down the slide stop.
  4. Yeah, I think P90 without annoying P90 magazines sums it up. It's just a very clean gun that fits well into use as a CQB primary, or a low-impact PDW - something the Micro Tavor isn't quite the right weapon for, IMO. I wouldn't want one, or a Type 97 bouncing on my back as I run around with sniper rifle or machine gun X or Y, anyway. The PDR has much less to stab you with and was even designed with a holster.
  5. Hm, well, you'd have to try it out I guess. And fair enough. Thanks for finding that PDF. I couldn't get my hands on a copy of it to double-check my info. I'm sure that if the situation was bad enough, the guy issued a PDW would flip those sights up as fast as humanly possible anyway.
  6. I'm sure it could be used in the manner you described, if needed though. The thought inspires some pretty nice PMC loadouts, don't you think? I assume it is designed to be fairly liveable with AR-height irons, and the MP7 sights folded up are about that height... so why not? I tried to get a set for this P90 TR I have lying around, but eventually settled for some generic folding irons. I think I should have still gone for the HK ones.
  7. But you really would be surprised at how humans perform under stress. I mean, everyone is different - Jim Cirillo got into a hostage scenario with the NYPD stakeout team and took out the hostage takers with clean headshots with a dinky .38 revolver. In contrast, you have an example in Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down. I forget who did it, but there was a Ranger who ran into a Somali with an AK. Both roughly a street's length away from each other ripped off rounds without ever hitting - even though he had a belt-fed machine gun. You also have shootings like Angel Alvarez's case, where the cops
  8. I absolutely agree that the PDR is a backup weapon meant for very bad situations which is not meant to be pinpoint accurate and cannot compare to a rifle, but I have to disagree with your specific examples. I would argue it's a little bit the other way around - tank crews are issued M4 Carbines to begin with, but their size means that the carbines are kept in a specific place in the tank, not with the crew. So if something made the vehicle burn, and everyone is bailing out of a different hatch, a PDR strapped to the crewman's gear would make more sense than an M4 sitting in the tank, even
  9. From the outset I've aimed at setting up my own LM4 to be more of a CQB weapon. I think that's because I'm still hoping they make an LM4 system AR-10 that I can go nuts with.
  10. To clarify, the 350 FPS bolt was one you worked on, right? When you got it from KWA it was identical in performance and all?
  11. Plus, the KWA already has a pretty big modding community - which resolves minor issues like the KWA hopup not being for everyone and the inability to release the bolt by charging without modifying it.
  12. Personally, I'm just waiting for a KWA GBBR AR-10 so I can live out my wildest battle rifle dreams. But that's pretty awesome too.
  13. Thats good to hear. Guess its kinda like real ARs - a good deal of them like to be run well lubed.
  14. Yeah, though the price can be deceptive. Mags are just as expensive as most of the other GBBR designs, so your cost goes up as your scale up your loadout.
  15. I'm not sure if they fit into all receivers - I'd see online if people have tried similar. Hope it goes well, and same to you.
  16. I think the oil costs more than the tub of paste, which makes the combined thing cost like $25 ish on a lot of retailers.
  17. I didn't have any fancy lube on hand, so I just used the oil that came with Tornado grenades >_> I clean out the paint gunk that comes out when you cycle it regularly, and the thing cycles really smoothly by now. I'd love to run Froglube when I can afford it, and I plan on it. But I'm rather forced to work with typical silicon lubricants for now.
  18. Yeah, from my understanding they're just G&G's version of a drop-in GBBR gearbox that RA-Tech or someone else tried to develop. I think they cost $80-ish. Personally though, since box + magazine would make it about 130 anyway, I'd just get a complete gun and build it as a dedicated GBBR. The way I think of it, is the gas efficiency and fun of a gas SMG with the ergonomics of a rifle. They're quite nice for that purpose and priced right.
  19. The M9A1 is going to be inherently more durable as a later TM design, I presume. You'll be able to mount lights or lasers without a triggerguard mount now. However, even without accessories you might need to change holsters - they make holsters for the M9, and the M9A1, since the rail changes the mold for a leather or kydex design. The biggest difference, and why I considered getting one was the decocker, which is now functional. It makes holstering the thing actually make sense. Decock, flip off safe, then holster. When you draw you just pull the trigger. On my old Samurai Edge, the s
  20. I use the IPSC Shot Timer for android. Works better with real guns, though, this specific drill doesn't require knowing your splits so it wasn't an issue. Beep, shoot six before the next beep. Repeat, beep, shoot seven before the next beep. So its a very simple drill that requires the most rudimentary of timers. Hm, we've ordered 8 mags so far and none of them had any horrible issues - I guess that's luck of the draw. I tend to buy spares when I perform those mods anyway, hence my not doing the bolt catch mod quite yet. I personally really need that feature for how I run the ri
  21. Yeah, speaking of finish my PTS rifle scratches rather easily, but overall its not flaking off in pieces or doing stuff like that so I'm not too concerned. The trigger is pretty decent, I guess. We were running some basic speed drills today. It was just a 5-yard BSA with increasing rounds on target every repetition. Two rounds in 1.5 seconds, three, four, etc. I got about twelve (including running the safety) before I broke 1.5. So I know my shooting isn't fantastic or unbelievable, but even if the trigger isn't the greatest, I find it okay thus far.
  22. Yeah, I understand. I'd always ride the reset and minimize wasted movement. It still pretty common in the competitive world, where everyone has their own spin on things. All I'm saying that releasing the trigger is not uncommon, and that it could be a possible source of double taps. I wasn't trying to comment on training in general or the (lack of) validity of the technique, Good to know~ It's especially an issue if you have the mags pressed into the weapon, which has screwed some other LM4 users over, but I'm fairly careful with the rifle. I've seen the pics of those messed up
  23. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I just mean that releasing the trigger and making contact again on the take-up is a pretty common technique, good or bad. So how would you describe the Super V in all that Also, I went to local field with my leg rig, the LM4 and my WE PX4. The LM4 rocked. California doesn't get all that cold compared to most of the world, but the wind bite was enough that my motor skills were breaking down and the gun locked open every time. I even fired about two mags worth of dry fire out of each of my three magazines before I left the last game to check.
  24. I guess it depends how you ride the reset. Shooters that remove their fingers from the trigger then take up slack again may indeed double tap by accident versus those who maintain full contact through cycling the trigger. What's your favorite out of the Geiselle line for a duty rifle?
  25. Ah. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the S3G is a two stage that feels more like a single stage, right? The basis of the Super-V they did for V-tac and whatnot?
