Here’s an update on that PTR I posted the video of last weekend that was having slam fires when charging the first round.
Top firing pin and spring are from a G3 I am building for a customer, bottom firing pin and spring is from the PTR. Notice there is approximately one coil difference in length. That means it’s not only shorter, but also weaker than the factory spring. While it doesnt seem like much, in a G3 type rifle, the charging of a round is a violent process when compared to something like an AR platform. After switching springs, I have not had a slam fire when charging a round.

Ok, the new website is up and going now.
I’m sure there will be a bit of a learning curve here, but we should be able to handle orders for fi****ms, ammo, parts and accessories. Fi****ms of course will ship to local FFL. Any used fi****ms we have will be listed on our site, as well as current and completed builds. Customers will be able to track the progress of their build as it moves through the build process. This feature may take a bit of tuning to get efficient, but we tried to work out as many bugs as we could from the start. Check it out for any of your needs.

Ok so here is a video of the $199 5.56 suppressor. These things go quick. They aren't a high dollar item, but they perform well. They are heavier than the more expensive ones out there. They are modular in construction so adding baffles and cleaning is easy. The best thing about these, the base plate IS the suppressor, everything else is parts of a suppressor. They can also be ordered with larger end caps and extra baffles to cover other calibers. You can also get just the muzzle device for other rifles and swap just the suppressor. Manufacture says it covers .22 - 338 Lapua. I plan on stocking a few of these with extras.
Its a bit of along video, if you're just interested in seeing what it sounds like skip to the end.

More of the g***k FRTs. a 19 with factory recoil spring and 124gr ammo, followed by a 17 with heavy spring and 124gr, the end is the 19 again with a heavy spring and 124gr. Huge difference with the spring. a side note, I could get these to run inconsistently with stock spring and 115gr. They just don't work well with 115gr though.

Testing a PTR that developed a new issue, did you catch it? time to figure this out now that its running good.

Ok, I promised a video and review on the PTR9SD. My first outing didn't go so well a few weeks ago so I didn't post the videos. On the first outing, the best I could get was 3 shots without a jam. The other PTR we got, that I didn't take with me, ran fine in semi right out of the box, go figure.
Anyhow, this one started to do better after the first 50 rounds, but i ran out of test time due to vacation. This video is cut together from about 4 videos of the next 75 rounds through this PTR. Now keep in mind recommended break in is 10-20 rounds, clean, 10-20 rounds, clean, repeat for 200-300 rounds. Yea, I didn't do that. As you can see its getting better the more it eats. So far i would say its only seen about 150 rounds total.

The dreaded G***k FRTs I've been fighting with. Finally got these things to run, as long as I hold them right. Too much pressure on the trigger can cause the slide to stop. I may take a little more off the reset to see if they run a little smoother.

We went out to the Mohave Arms Collectors 22 shoot this morning. They have it the 3rd Saturday of every month. This is the first one I’ve been able to make since January because of work.
There was only 4 of us there but it was still a lot of fun. Didn’t get video, the only picture I took was of the biggest lizard I’ve seen out here.
Anyone wanting to enjoy shooting 22s in a competitive type shoot should join us next month.

They finally arrived. We ordered these at the shot show this year, was expecting them to ship in April. Things happen and they got pushed back, but the PTR SDs we ordered are finally in. These are both spoken for, but expect a video or two and my thoughts on how cool it actually is.
I will be installing my registered trigger pack for the test.
I will admit, the case is a very nice touch, I didn’t expect that. When I seen the case, I expected just an egg crate foam inside. The display stand wasnt included, but come on, how couldd you not get such a cool display stand? And, YES, it is a Christmas movie, I’ve been saying that for years.
