Albroswift Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Not to be outdone! Really liked the 40 caliber ar pistol, was thinking of upgrading the magtork adapter blocks to a to a Stern Defence, looks like a nice block but $179.00... Stopped one of my favorite shops today and picked up a couple Spikes Tactical pistol lowers for 169.00 ea, transfer included. Pulled the Anderson lower off and built the Spikes, installed the upper, cycled a few rounds through, ready for the range. LRBHO has been achieved. Mags need a hard seat, and takes a good push on the button to release, but I have the gen 1 style drop frees with the shoulders, I'll take a file along and maybe take a little off.

98Z5V Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Any pistol caliber AR that you guys make, that's blow-back operation, better have some KNS anti-rotation pins in it, or you're breaking a hammer pin. Mark my words. I have a 9mm and a .45ACP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albroswift Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Range report # whatever Took rifles out this morning but rifle range was shut down, fortunately for me I had the AR40 and a Winchester M94 in 45 Colt so we went over to the bullseye side. The Spike lower ran flawless. LRBHO 100%. Filed a little off the shoulder of the 12 dollar cheapo 30 round mag, good lock up and smooth release. No feeding problems at all. The $129.00 Sightmark is still holding a solid zero on the 50 yard target. Gives the Winchester a run for its money. Laser still couldn't be seen out past 10/12 yards even with heavy overcast. Ordering a Spikes pistol upper for a carbine build on the second receiver. How does a blowback system work on a 16" barrel? I have A KVP I bought a while back. I'm thinking a little slower burning powder, upper end of the load data table, and 10 oz buffer. Should be able to get close to 1200 fps out of a 180 gr bullet, (Maybe...)

98Z5V Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 10 hours ago, Albroswift said: Please explain! Pistol-caliber ARs running on blow-back operation are REALLY HARD on hammer pins - just from the blowback operation. You run longer barrels than in a "real handgun," so you get a velocity boost out of them. Blow-back is hard on hammer pins. The KNS Prec non-rotating setup is tough, and will take the punishment. 10 hours ago, Albroswift said: These what you refer to? https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1003368197/kns-hammer-and-trigger-pin-2nd-generation-2nd-modification-non-rotating-ar-15-small-pin-154-stainless-steel Those are the exact ones I use in mine.

sketch Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 fantastic day of pistol length fun! almost shot 500 rnds had a few mag issues but i think i can spread the lips just enough to get feeding issue fixed.( had about ten that smahed the projo into the brass on first rnd) randomly. second was the bcg wouldn't reset the trigger. ( mbt2 maybe 5 times) randomly. The rest was all smiles! I sighted in at the 60"' bench just because thats where we start. mooved up to ten yards aimed about 2" up and drilled holes at a rapid pace! 2 in the middle and one at each corner back to center with 2.. i love this pistol! 10yd targe left 60 rt.

Albroswift Posted April 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Making confetti! what ammo/bullet type/weight? Reloads or factory? I'd like to do a 9mm build just to burn up my stash of 9mm Major ammo! (The uber glock, cool as it is, just doesn't shoot like a $4K race gun, go figure...)

Albroswift Posted April 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 And what mags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) cci/speer 115gn. 1glock mag 33 rnd then 3/33 kci and a 50 rnd from kci. glock mag was more $ but also ran perfectly. as did the 50 mag from kci.. the other 3/33 were randomly problematic and numbered for the test. they all failed more than once, but in almost 500 and 10 i can learn to live with that! Thanks to brother @MikedaddyH for his insights! shoot this all day ! I did it in less than 2 hours and other pistols! link to ammo👍 https://palmettostatearmory.com/cci-5200-9mm-115-grain-1000-round-bulk-pack-cc5000bk1000.html Edited April 9, 2019 by sketch good shits!

Albroswift Posted April 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 "Load in the morning and shoot all day!" --Mr Winchester? I must have gotten lucky with the AR40, 12 dollar 30 round mags flawless, a little tight but typical of Gen 1 drop free mags as well, a little filing to remove a square shoulder and all was good. What BCG are you running? Buffer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 fm products again for the buffer and spring. not sure the manufacturer of the bcg but this is the logo.. all purchased through primary arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketch Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 brass was @ 4 o'clock and 10yds away. I was focused on the target but i bet i could tighten up my brass if the shooter wasn't dancin while shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 we'll this is getting personal so my inspiration for this was a scoripion I'd shot several months earlier and it was very nice. Now I have to compare the two if I can meet him at the steel range again! I saved a few $ but time will tell. I like the look of mine and the custom shits I can add. like details of colors. crayola and wd40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albroswift Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 10 yards at 4:00 seems to indicate a healthy bolt and recoil system, that's about where the spikes dedicated lower and the anderson with spacer blocks throws them also. Stern Defense BCG + 7.5oz 4-1/8" KVP buffer Just went in halves on the 5D Pro jig, first up friend wants to mill his own 40 lower for a pistol build. AND I have a Spikes upper and a Eotech 512 in the mail should just about complete my AR-40 carbine build. This $hit is just too much fun.

jtallen83 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Damn that looks fun. I may have to take the plunge on a PCC myself. Just noticed there is a 9mm lower made for 226 magazines. Gotta find a rail that my tirant 45 will fit inside........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albroswift Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Evil Cousins Not going to say "Finished" up my AR-40 Carbine tonight, stock, handguard, birdcage and grip out of the spare parts bin, but it's ready to shoot tomorrow! Spikes upper and lower, KVP 16" Barrel, chucked a 308 birdcage in the lathe and opened it up to .413, KVP 10oz buffer, and Eotech 512. Always wanted to try an Eotech, one on sale the other day $389.00 no tax free shipping, had to grab it. Loaded up some full blow loads last night, 6.7 Vihtavuori 3N37 / 180 gr jacketed RNFP. Probably to add the Vortex 3X magnifier and some cosmetic upgrades to it if it turns out to be a shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
