AR-15 Accessories and Parts

Sorry, this is not correct. The AR-15 SPR absolutely does indeed use a rifle length gas system.

As far as us ‘enthusiasts’ know, the military has not adopted the mid system in any form yet.

Certainly not in the SPR.

I’m sure some more experienced folks might have more info on this though…

for an 18" build, the one advantage I give the mid and why I have them, is that I personally think that it balances out the gas system better to have AR-15 accessories inches of barrel in FRONT of the gas port rather than ~4.

we had a thread on this before regarding dissapators and gas systems.

The SPR uses a rifle length gas system. Just look at the post by Milla here, you can clearly see the gas tube extending past the KAC rails.

Walther p99 magazines

Recommended on another site was heavy lube and working the action dry cycle…I kid you not…Walther p99 magazine times: I did it to mine…quite a little workout…wear a glove.

Then fire a couple of Walther p99 magazines .

There’s alot of debate whether you should run only ball ammo in them.

Again, from elsewhere; important ammo considerations.

1. OAL of the round.

2. Shape of the round…HP must be as close to ball in shape as possible.

3. Feed ramp angle and polish; though this is only infrequently a problem.

Remington 95 gr FMJ seemed to meet approval, Winchester equivelent would most likely be fine; all else, especially anything not ball, simply must be tried out.

Though a good break-in is recommended before you start experimenting with the HP ammo.

Colt 1911 magazine

There are several of the "production line" custom smiths like Wilson, Les Baer etc. that will sell you a super-accurate gun, if thats what you really want. Yes, they are expensive, but they are very very good. The last brand I would buy is a Colt 1911 magazine, not because they are bad but because they offer poor value… you are paying a premium price for the pony rollmark on the slide. A Colt makes sense for a collector or for someone with more money than sense, but otherwise you get more bang for your buck with non-Colt 1911 magazines brands.

One more point - bear in mind that, in general, 1911 accuracy is gained by tightening clearance in critical areas (barrel lockup, chamber, slide-to-frame etc.), and this can increase the propensity to malfunctions. For a carry gun, you do not want accuracy at the expense of reliability.

Eotech

Unlike LaRue who ALWAYS answers their phone, I called Eotech to ask this question, but got nothing but a bunch of voice mail answering machines. Maybe somebody will eventually call back…….when I’m either sitting on the toilet, or I’m out of the house I’m sure. Figure I might get an answer here faster.

When the Western Holster first came out I thought the 360 degree adjustability feature would be worthwhile as I was spending 3 1/2 to 4 hours twice a week on a commute to work in another city and I wanted something I could adjust to work for a seated car position.

Eotech

Has anybody been able to mount the newer Eotech 517 or 557 over the bulky M4 handguard (like on the Colt 6920) and be able to fit a 3X magnifier and BUIS too? I want to be able to swing a 3x magnifier to the side and be able to use my ARMS low profile BUIS. It seems like now that the new Eotech 517 is designed to sit over that bulky M4 handguard, I ought to be able to buy a swing-to-the-side mount that also allows me to use my low profile BUIS too.

BIANCHI HOLSTERS

Ruger sp101

Does changing the hammer on this revolver require Ruger sp101? I’d like to change out the factory spur hammer for a spurless one. Can that be done at home or is it a trip to the gunsmith?

I asked this in the Ruger forum over a week ago and got no responses. Just curious.

Thanks,
