Kimber45 's finished N-pap

Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for the great comments... all the work was done by me excypt for the cerakote job. That was done by Mike at Tier One Defense in Mountianside.. he did a great job... thanks Mike... as far as everything else thats yours truly... it started out as a single stack Npap. I did the double stack mag well (thanks deerslayer for the rental mag.) Cut down the barrel to 14 inches slid the sight block back after modifying it to press fit and re pin. Also cut down the cleaning rod to match the barrel length.smoothed out the lines on the gas block to match the front sight block. Cut and modded the front sight post to eliminate the double angles.tune and polish FCG, bolt and all internals. Installed a krebs FCG pin retainer and a krebs stock block. I pinned and welded a Lantac Dragon brake to bring it back up to 16 inches and a Manticore triangle stock.I added a Ultimak M9 upper gas tube with pic rail. Thats a US Palm grip that was enhanced buy stippling the untextured areas of the grip to match the stippled lower handguard.all in all I think it came out well for my first venture into the ak world... I think I will keep her... again many thanks to Deerslayer,Checko and anyone else that helped me out with my project.... stay safe all

Yeah I know the Arsenals are nice but I got a good deal with the Npap.... I was just going to open up the mag well and well you see what happined....haha.... as far as the handguards the upper is a Ultimak m9 and the lower is the standard Npap that I swapped out my wood with Checko. Than I did the stippling myself. I also stippled the front and back of the US Palm to match... If you want me to do yours send me a pm... I work for beer lol.....

Nice good hunting bro........ thats a nice rifle. I did t knkw about them until after I got my Npap and started to research them... then their were non to be found.....

 

I was set on the SLR107FR, but with the folding stock and the bayonet lugs, I was bothered to spend over $900 only to neuter some of its personality...  

 

But as I looked on, I found that although the Arsenals were attractive, they were also plentiful.  

 

not saying the paps aren't attractive but I felt better as there was less compliance work, hopefully retaining their value... 

 

and from the looks of it... the "O's" are becoming harder to find, possibly increasing their value over time..

 

 

 

Ahhhhh,.... the irony of living in our state...

    • 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.
