Cast receiver SW5 carbine. Runs well even with non factory mags.

 

- Fastfire red dot sighted slightly high at 50yds

- Lightened sear spring

- Permanently altered 15/30 non factory mag

- "Solid" fake can

- Streamlight TL-1S

- Mako railed forearm with Magpul rail covers

 

You can actually hear the clicking (over the blast) as the action cycles open and closed. SD owners say that that clicking is the only thing you hear if you fire that version of the firearm.

One point two. The gun itself runs like a train, but because I have non factory mags, some are better than others despite being of all the same maker.

 

Awesome!!! How much did this run you(before the tacticool goodies) and have you had any failures with it? I would love one of these.

About $1.20? :sarcastichand:

 

Seriously though, these seem go go from about a thousand dollars to about fourteen hundred used. Until a couple of months ago, Special Weapons had a few left that they were selling on GB. It seemed that they were assembling guns from their final stock of parts and those would be the last guns from them. After that they were going to be a parts company only.

 

 

how much is that US?

SW = Coharie = Whatever the company is called now = it might work and maybe it will not

 

You just have to take a chance.

 

You got lucky. Enjoy.

So far...Google "Todd Bailey" and Special Weapons" Caveat Emptor...

Awesome dude!

 

I used to love the MP5... it's such a slick little weapon. And was always widely represented in my favorite action films (Die Hard). Tis a shame we can't get them with their normal length barrels. Even in semi-auto, I would imagine they are fun.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
