You can grind the lug that's not a problem...all you really need to grind are the ears it just can't be capable of holding a bayonet. I believe soldering is no good. I know they have to be welded (permanent) on but I'm not sure if the pin is necessary. I've heard of other people welding them on without a pin. I mailed mine to Paul (pk90)at Arms and Ammo. It was about a week from the time I dropped it off at the post office until it got back in my hands...$40 plus shipping...and the work was solid!

I'd agree with you here but the EMP was actually designed around the 9mm

Using Factory loads...Remington UMC to be exact...I'll tell him to try that out...thanks

Thanks for the info guys I'll pass it along to my friend. I hope it's something simple. The gun is beautiful aesthetically, two tone with wood grips. Felt great in the hand. It shot well and the trigger had a real short reset. I thought it may need a break in period...maybe the springs on the mag are two tight or something. It was the first time he's shot the gun...but honestly it happened way to often in my opinion. I was disappointed, I've praised Springfield and figured this would be a few steps above my xd9. If he could iron out this issue it would be a real sweet gun.

The sad part is our media only shows the dirty hippies or punk anarchists...there are a lot of good people there with great ideas...college grads that can't find jobs...people who have seen their jobs outsourced to china...middle class citizens fed up with barely scraping by while Wall Street and Bank executives land multi-million dollar bonuses...while BP racks up record profits, messes up the gulf ecosystem, and then gets huge tax breaks...it's a shame people can't see this...it's also a shame people bash the protestors for exercising their constitutional rights...yet we sit on a computer defending one of those rights. everyday.

Went to the BH with my buddy today. He just got a 9mm EMP. The thing failed to feed constantly on new mags. once it was firing it was fine but any time you tried to chamber a round on a new mag it happened again. Any ideas or advice? Trying to help my buddy out...it really was kind of frustrating especially since this was an $1100 gun and he had to watch me shoot my $500 xd9 with no issues (I think i'm over 2000 rounds without a single issue...lost count around 1200). Other than the FTF the gun is sweet...although it could hold a few more rounds.

Thanks for the help guys. For $3 I can get two extra take down springs and detents...I guess it's not a bad idea having extras

Going to order a palmetto state armory moe lower build kit. I see they sell extra lower parts individually. Is there any recommended parts I pick up spares for, like springs? Just don't want to start building and lose something or have it going across the room. Any help would be appreciated.

So if you had an upper and a lower but no BCG could you buy the stock...attach to the lower...see where you like it...pin it...and then buy a BCG to complete the rifle? Just seems if you were building the rifle you would want to make sure the stock is where you like it before you pin it plus I'm building one now so it would be good to know.

Sorry should've stated NICS was included...$40 for everything

Definitely go to the True Value in Lincoln Park...that's where I had my PSA stripped lower sent to...$40 transfers...if I order again i will definitely use them.

Very nice!

Yeah it hasn't been on the shotty since I bought it...did one range trip with it then swapped it out...basically brand new...don't really know what a fair price would be...still trying to finish the AR so I can put money towards that haha

How do you like that stock? Mine came with a Speedfeed which had a LOP a mile long. I took it off and put on a Knoxx Spec-Ops which makes the safety and slide release in awkward places. Problem is then I'd be left with 3 stocks...still haven't gotten rid of the Speedfeed. Would like to know what you think of the Hogue.

I'd have to say Barrett .50BMG...I don't even know where I'd shoot it but I'd love showing people it when they came over

That is the ultimate SHTF truck haha...congrats and good luck...would love to go for a ride in that thing haha

I'd check out african cichlids for a freshwater tank...they are probably the most colorful freshwater fish around...I agree with what everyone says about getting a bigger tank...I have a 29 gallon and I'd probably say don't buy anything less than 50 gallons...wish I had gone bigger but live in a small apartment...will eventually go bigger. Do your research, as most people have stated the tank requires cycling. Buy a good filter...I have an Aquaclear filter and I really like. PM me if you have any questions...I'm not a pro by any means but I've kept fish alive for a long time.

I had to do the same thing with mine...for some reason it looks naked...what a dumb rule

I found 15 round Springfield mags at the NJFAG...I bought two one for my friend and one for me...wish I had purchased more...not sure if they still have them...haven't been down to NJFAG in a while

Actually didn't jersey require 10 rounders up until a few years ago? That would mean we helped create the monster.

The Springfield xd9 is 16 round but I have found Springfield 15 rounders for it. Mine came with two 10 round mags thanks to the wonderful garden state.

I love David Allan Coe

There's a True Value in Lincoln Park that does all transfers for $40...I've used them and will definitely use them if I need an FFL in the future. Also check with some site sponsors to see if they have one and save on the transfer fee all together. Paul from Arms and Ammo was great to deal with and he stocks AR stuff. If you want to order online Palmetto State Armory has their lowers on sale for $50 right now Palmetto Lower I bought one of their lowers last time they were on sale and it seems to be well made...still don't have the AR together.

I have a 590A1 that came with a speedfeed stock. It felt like I was holding a brick, the length of pull was a mile long, and it wasn't really natural for me. I bought the Knoxx NRS model because recoil wasn't much of an issue unless shooting heavier 3" loads. 00 3" beat the crap out of me but the 2 3/4" slugs and buck were no issue at all, and I'm not that big of a guy. I like the Knoxx stock and it feels more natural to me. The adjustability is nice when going shooting with smaller or larger framed people. Depending on where you are you'd be more than welcome to try mine out sometime. Good luck with your decision but I must say the 590A1 is a pretty bad @$$ gun...the thing is just beefy (in a good way) and having 8+1 capability is pretty sweet too. It always turns a head or two at the range as well. For some reason i can't upload the picture but here's a LINK to another forum where I posted the pics.

The true value in Lincoln Park is great. $40 transfers. Don't think they can pin the mags though.
