It looks like yours has the bolt extension piece in there. I will be tearing it down this weekend and will take a picture of the exploded view. Sorry, things have just been way crazy at work.
If I remember correctly it is a solid end. If there is room, I can probably mill that out as well although I would need one to put my hands on to do it. Does this silent capture spring come as a kit so you can modify existing bolts?
Thanks, my friend. Phase 2 of this little experiment will be building the area back up slightly and I want to make sure it will still clear. Stay tuned as it will be interesting!
I guess if you already have the blanks and an ass ton of old golf balls then this is something to play with. I would rather pick up 300 rounds of 9mm for the cost of this thang.
I agree that a larger bit would last longer. I am using what is available at work. The next smallest up from the 1/8" is 5/8" and I would have an issue based on the way the bolt was clamped in the mill. I plan on ordering a couple of quality bits if this turns in to more than a one-off...
Alright fellas, I had a little on the 50 year old Bridgeport mill at work today. @Cudruln was kind enough to be the guinea pig and sent me his $50 PSA complete BCG. It took longer to get the mill set up than it did to actually take the material off. The bolt is made with some quality steel so...
Waste of time and money. The whole reason for the M249 was to provide troops with a FA LMG for fire suppression. I cannot see a need for an SA version.
I am thinking about it but not decided. I am wondering about the turnout since this is a Sunday. At least the hours will be late enough for the church goers to attend.
Very nice case. A little on the expensive side to be a range case. It does appear that it will pass all TSA regs so if you feel the need to travel with that many ARs at one time, make sure it is much lighter when you come home!!
Check out Zoro.com as they are getting into the hardware biz. I used them for the shoulder bolt I needed to replace the one on my M11/9 slow fire bolt.
The pistols offered are meh, you have the TT-33, Type 54, and the M57. There are a few companies that produced copies. The cheap ammo is milsurp and the bulk of the cheap guns are as well. I just can't see the appeal.
