I also replaced factory springs with Galloway Precision's increased-rate recoils springs(s) and reduced-power hammer spring & balanced - whatever that means 🤔 - trigger return springs. While the before/after results weren't necessarily revelatory in nature, the GP springs did enhance performance...

I should have answered those queries in my opening post. The projectiles are not match, rather, they're just odd ball 147gr FMJs that will be fired via an M14SA (LRB). I have no plans of straying too far away from 147-150gr M80 ballistics

I threw one of these Fab-Defense mag-release grips on a Mak a few years back ... the takeaways -- ergonomics; drop-free mags/easier-faster reloads & a gash-less shooting hand. Post Script: I ditched the lanyard ring https://youtu.be/wvTeMYmafIg?si=Gub4jme7PZYxPwsv

I'm with ya… perhaps not the best, but the platform is my favorite, being inherently safe; absolutely dependable; extremely fast & quite accurate.

Thanks, A_K… I avoided that because of using 308 data on 7.62N cases … but, seeing where the IMI bullet (base) resides, I could go with a lower C.O.A.L. without creating pressure issues. Hmmm, but how much bullet jump is too much??

First-time 7.62 x 51 reloader here & I am questioning my choice of projectiles, X-Treme 147gr. FMJs, which are noteably shorter than both the Hornady & IMI (150gr) FMJ-BTs pictured below. My concern centers on the amount of purchase shared between the X-Treme projectiles, which have a slight...

Oh, or should I say, Oooh ... I missed that "I might" comment, but not because I was unimpressed Good luck with your decision ... can't go wrong with a 1911 :)

Is the above a tip of your hand, so to speak? If so, and if you’re serious about a .355/.356, you may want to ponder the only other 1911 chambering that bears J. Browning’s & Colt’s fingerprints, the 38 Auto - aka, the 38 Super. I will never forget picking up my very first 38 Super nor the...

Nice build … that, and you’re a good man

In the words of Roy Clark, ‘Yesterday When I Was Young’…

$1750 :oops:! Jesse James rode a horse, carried a gun & even he wasn't that big of a crook!

Mine would be a 2nd cousin's Chicago PD service revolver, a S&W no-dash 586(M) that did talk.

Purchased & just received this SIg Foxtrot1x light, which are on sale @ Bereli for $49.95 (w/free shipping).

@ms6852 ... you're very welcome. I hope you end up getting into a 22 TCM pistol. You're welcome ... I swiped the back of the hood a couple times with a stone, other than that, it was a true drop-in.

No problem, @drband … let me know if these work.
