Its 10:20 and the line must be 100 yards out the door! It's 2008 all over again.

Gimme a ring a ling when u get there.

thats good to know that they'll work with you on it. some places might just outright deny the sale. I'd love the try that thing out one day, its the one x25 gun i don't have (yet).

I'm aiming to get there between 9 and 10am tomorrow. If anyone else there wants to meet up, text me on my cell below anytime. I'm thinking ill be there till 12 or 1 so maybe we can get some cheesesteaks after. 732 687 2099

The mags above a pro-mag and may not be as reliable as factory Mecgar's. I've run a couple for a while now with no issue, however, many folks seem to have more negative reviews of them in general. Just something to consider before your purchase.

Midwayusa.com and midsouthshooterssupply.com are two good places to always check. Midway often has sales and midsouth is generally even cheaper than midway even with a sale.

I know, right? Paul also sent me a competitive quote for the same. I've read of some compatibility issues with Taurus parts and aftermarket parts which gives me some hesitation.

Maks, is your GAP glock on the big G21 frame?

I'll just leave this here. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b97_1296268208&p=1

Whats that oval button on the front of the grip? Mag release?

It isn't? I beg to differ. http://www.cncgunsparts.com/ar-15_m-16_762x25_uppers

Ok Frank, we get it. You hate it, you think its stupid, you won't be buying one, nor do you think its wise for other people to spend thier money on it. Thanks for your input. Move on. Which brings me to another point. There is a lot of textbook jealousy and hatred in this thread and its sickening. For such a tight community to lash out like this is silly. I would have expected a lot of positive "hey, thats a neat project, good luck with that" type comments, instead we get the typical internet dick-swinging and bickering that you find in places devoid of any sense of community. Rock on people.

X25 is a pistol cal and so its milder than 223 so its certainly not going to beat the gun up. I never clean the trigger group on my tok are after shooting and there's no signs of corrosion whatsoever. Seems like a safer alternative frankly.

Assuming you have full size stick mags for your PPSh, did someone pin them for you or did you buy them already reduced in capacity?

When developing a load for a rifle, you have to take into consideration several things regarding the ultimate COAL you end up employing. One variable that will change from gun to gun is the location of the leade/throat that will dictate the max COAL you can seat the bullet to before the rifling comes in contact with the bullet bearing surface. This is an important part of load development and is important for both consistencies' sake and safetys' sake so you can avoid potential unsafe pressure situations. bullets may vary even in he same batch so the comparator will allow you to measure from the bearing surface rather than the tip which will help you determine a safe and effective COAL. This video explains this concept a bit more with the comparator in action.

FYI, I actually pay more like 8 cents a round since i buy in multi-case bulk. .10c is a convenient round number that i use for general comparison. What are the additional concerns surrounding the lower? I have no experience with FA ownership so gimme the scoop! I actually do reload several calibers including 9mm which like the youngin Matt said, costs roughly 10 cents a round to load. I find that i spend about as much time reloading the ammo as shooting it so i have to choose wisely what i plan on doing with that ammo. Expensive big bore revolver ammo? no brainer, reload. 45acp? another expensive one, reload. 9mm for my shooting matches? i reload, but only because of the volume i go through and the brass i can recoup. I suppose if i shot a lot of FA, i don't think i could realistically and sanely keep up with the demand unless i had a camdex machine. What sort of shooting do you do with all these machine guns?

search midway for "comparitor".

HEY! Do you own homework! Get the M16 upper. The builder himself sells them in a full auto variant and shoots it that way himself. I have about 1K rounds through mine and no signs of corrosion. The barrel is stainless and i drop the bolt in a tub of water based cleaner after a session and then swab the barrel with MPro7 and never have any issues. Its so easy to clean up after shooting any corrosive ammo, its not worth worrying about. The key is to clean it promptly. If that's an issue, then it should factor strongly in your decision.

Call us fools, call us dreamers, call us tinkerers, but sometimes we do things because of an emotional decision because of some enchantment of a thing. Besides, i already have "that" gun.

but that's extra work. I'm not putting a specific price tag on my free time, but it is valuable in a way that i must decide where to prioritize its expenditure.

That may be the pecking order but Bulgies are far from being junk!

Anyone going? I may go and i just got a Cabela's coupon so i may possibly hit that up on the way out. ------------------------------------------ Greater Phila.

+1 on the MPro-7. Wife/GF approved!

Yeah, the mag capacity thing is a bit of a downer. I will try to experiment with different things to get the capacity up. My ultimate goal is to eventually buy some extended Chip Mccormicks and use this for some matches. The Taurus 38 super SS is a cheap option... CDNN is selling them for $450 and i got a quote for a bit over $500 out the door for a new one from a vendor here. Unfortunately RIA doesn't do stainless and Colt isn't cheap.
