sketch Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 ^^^ Hell of a deal! my bro finished his fde 9mm so i had a half day to hit the range with him to test and site in. Bro has 2 glock mags, his pistol ran perfectly! on to my kci mags. Had feeding issues to figure out. ( same outcome in bros build) so i flipped the top round strait up in the lips and pulled it 90* out to the left, which gave just enough spread to run all 4 mags with no problems! we were both smiling 🎯 .40 parts are in today so on to the next one. 15"' targets and so fun to shoot! almost 1k through it now.

Nice!!! who you calling little... oohh yeah the pistol! 😂 "little pew pew" so the girls will like it like I do! note the cci/speer 115gn ammo is pretty dirty. leaves a lot of lead on the fingers and carbon (ash like floating black flakes) flows freely from the gun while shooting. eye pro is recommended with the blow back system! BadAss fun for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albroswift Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Maybe up your buffer weight and/or spring? Both of mine run pretty clean. If you have a case gauge it would be interesting to see if the spent casing still fits. I've now had the chance to reload and shoot brass that has made a pass through the blowbacks and find I am not needing to use a push through sizer as some suggest, just standard resizing die. (I'd probably just throw the brass away and order more off gunbroker if I had to go through the effort of push through sizing, not very progressive press friendly...)

sketch Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) just finished the .40 upper and the kaw vally gear is nice but kinda slips in alingment.. the barrel nut and hg nut are separate. so you have to use a ( gas tube alingment pin) then torque the barrel.. i find the alingment pin is ok for the gas but not the hg part.. when under tourqe speks. its loose fit in my areo upper. some slack.. so the finale barrel / hg torqued is to much for the aliingment pin.. minor issues. I run my sights off the upper, not the hg. barrel is snugged tight as well as the md. picked up some glock 22 /22 round mags x4 and have bushell trs25 red dot coming.. fun and games!

Albroswift Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Good looking build. There are some shim kits to help with that alignment, I prefer the clamp on type or round handguards over the type that screw directly to the nut. Seems like lala land to expect proper torque and true alignment to be one in the same. What brand of mags? I have been checking the angle of the bullet/ follower and find they are all over the place. I made a gauge matching the most reliable angle and have been tweaking the ones that don't conform, got a bunch of glock type 10 followers on order, they seem to match the cheapo mags that are reliable.

Albroswift Posted April 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 These are the reliable 31 round Glock type .40 S&W mags, Korea RWB 12.99 at Ben's https://www.classicfirearms.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=acc-gl40-31MAG ACC-GL40-31MAG Ben's also has another one that is not good, SGM brand, needs a lot of tweaking, stay away from alert: https://www.classicfirearms.com/sgmt-40-31rd-glock-mag/ ACC-SGM-40G31R If you look closely the SGM has a slightly longer body and a smaller base. Also has a SGM logo. Feed lips are crappy. Follower doesn't fit well, sloppy. I have 2 of the SGM and 4 of the Korea RWB's, just ordered more of the RWB's today. (I have only ran them about 75% full as of yet, but dug out my maglula UpLula loader yesterday so will give them the "Stuffed Full" test next time at the range. Also rebuild several old stock mags last night, see what the results are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper torque for an AR barrel nut has a range of 30~80 lb/ft. It's possible to align it. Shouldn't be hard, with a range as broad as that.

sketch Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I hit it as hard as possible.. around 50 .. the next step was breaking a wrench? If i was to align it it would be baby tight. shims will work. or 50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Shims let you get it aligned at the lower end of the torque range. I wouldn't want to put one on at 80 - if I got close to that, I'd shim it and hit a lower number. Military Armorer's slam service rifles together routinely, and if it's going to 80 to make it - then it's going to 80. The only reason I wouldn't wanna put one on at 80 is because that fucker has to come apart sometime. Taking Greg's SBR upper apart was a tough one - but it came apart. All parts salvaged, nothing broke - but it sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albroswift Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 What do you use for barrel grease? I've done low torque and loctite blue or medium torque and anti seize or grease. Never anywhere near 80 lbs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
