RA tech bucking has an o-ring to keep the BB from floating into the barrel and it doesn't cost much.

Until you get the reinforced hop up and bucking, the 140 spring will feed the BBs past the hop unit and into the barrel. That's why they just roll out. Our shop CQB-R blew up the rim of the stock hop chamber and we are now waiting for our reinforced unit so we can use our 140 spring again.

You do realize that hand-cutting checkering at 30 lines per inch is a very good way to go blind? You can learn the basic technique from pistolsmithing books, but they may not be in depth enough unless they are dedicated textbooks.

Tunerguy is dishonest. He tried to present himself to me as a customer when in fact all he was trying to do was pick my brain regarding my gun building techniques and my favored parts combinations. After putting together a virtual parts list for him so that he could keep track of his expenditures, he appears on these forums looking for said parts so that he could build the same gun for HIS client. He's far from a genius. Anybody can build a gun that looks clean in photos and shoots reasonably well. A fully built gun that will retain it's accuracy and performance over thousands of rounds w

Wide Body Big Brother to the Springfield above

Thanks, man. Pity it no longer resides in this country.

Springfield Professional, MEU late base gun

Thanks. It took forever to find a magna 6 inch, and then one day it just popped up and I was asked to build it up. In the days before the flood of aftermarket barrel locks, I fabricated my own. Same goes for the front sight. I fabricated that one from nickel then gave it a gold bead to enhance the sight picture in low light.

Some of my 1911 builds that have come and gone. Some were commissioned pieces, some were mine. I loved them all.

it's an m700 action. the same action in the m24 was good for 500 fps on 134a. a good idea if you want to use higher powered gases is to purchase a g&g powerpack which will cover the bolt assembly and two magazines. be warned tho that this setup on red gas will put you into extremely high fps territory.

Building this gun for Hitman wasn't as much of a hair pulling experience as the PRIME kits. There seem to be some quality control issues at Guarder as I have had to actually sift through large numbers of these kits to make sure I got one with perfectly straight lines. The last batch I received had quite a few imperfections, but at this price, what do you really expect? At least now I know why the kits by PRIME cost so much more.

It was a great deal of work, but there's no denying the appeal. If you have the money and spending it is not an issue, then yes, it is worth it. I took the finished product to several marines who then proceeded to insert loaded 9mm magazines into it. That should tell you something. The balance is superb and the weight of the gun is reassuring. Accuracy and consistency are much improved over stock. The real world testing will be in the crucible of combat later this evening. I will field test it for the owner to make sure that there are no hidden bugs. I'll report on the results after th
