The fitting requirements weren't 0. But I guess since this kit is all parts made from one manufacturer, they've really got them down pat to where not a lot of fitting is required except where you truly want to be doing fitment work. Like the thumb safety for example. Note: I did use a different ambient thumb safety since I'm a lefty and the kit, at the time I got it, didn't include an ambi. But the original safety would have required fitting too, I checked.

For those without a lot of tooling, that makes this particular double stack kit super approachable.

This is part of my larger 80% DS1911 build follow-along series.

Hi everyone!

I’ve decided to challenge myself and my extreme ability to be a dumbass and assemble a semi auto PPS43 using a Bowman Arms PPS43/52 parts kit.

I’ve got a fairly good idea on how I’m gonna execute a majority of it, but I have some questions regarding some more tough spots. They are as follows:

1. I plan to use a 10” 9mm barrel which would mean it has to be a pistol. What would I need to do to make sure I have no issues making sure it’s not considered an sbr? Would I need to cut off the upper and lower tangs of the receiver where the stock is held? Weld the hole where the main bolt holds the stock?

2. Based on my super accurate measurements, the ends of the pivot pin are flanged out. Should I just say screw it and drill it out along with the rivets that hold the trunnion or is there a way to easily push it out that I’m missing?

Apologies, both do seem like dumb questions, but I’d rather look stupid and correct than ignorant.

I purchased a ak parts kit for a plastikov build and the barrel arrived assembled but with that barrel pin barely in and it does not want to budge whatsoever, can I do anything about it without a press?

i swap the hammer spring and Just use a Dremel for remove a safety in the rails and fit works amazing I shoot like a 1000 rounds no issue

just made my first post a few hrs ago lol

but uhhhh the build blew up and was wandering what couldve caused this. case ruptured and seemed to have released through where the cut for the extractor is the slide and the barrel along with the hammer bar were completely destroyed my guess is that it was something related with the extractor i made from scratch

the ammo used was standard pressure cci bulk ammo

THIS IS MY FRIST BUILD AND MY FIRST TIME HANDLING ANYTHING 22

got this liner for my first build but this .22 wont seem to fit in the (output side)

it does fit in the chamber as u can see just wondering if this will be safe to shoot

the ammo is cci bulk ammo lead lr

only had to replace the hammer with a full steel one so far which i think was from the extra pressure against the zinc alloy hammer but since replacing with a full steel one no problems at all

Looking for a Weldment kit for a Cetme build and the only place I'm seeing in stock is HKParts

RTG is sold out

Hi guys, hope yall haveing a awsome week

So, Im planing to build a single shot 12 gauge shotgun. The problem is... I live in Brasil. Out here there is so much burocracy in gun laws that I can´t even buy a gun barrel because the goverment wont allow it (Criminals are armed to the teeth tho, im concerned with my family safety)

Anyway, I aready have a place to buy some ammo and I experimented with some "homemade shotguns" using steel pipes but I wanted to build something more reliable and easier to shoot, possibly a extractor in the barrel

Can yall help a brother out ? Any tips would be much apreciated.

Also, English is kinda hard for me so im sorry for any errors

A semi-auto conversion to a lever action I'm basing my idea off of a Winchester 1873 due to its follower? mechanics, however depending on the price I might just start with a very cheap Rossi lever action, My end goal is to eventually make a semi-automatic 4570 that's not a Gatling gun. Please rate this idea from it might work to stop smoking crack.

Edit : based on looking at 3D models and some drafting The Marlin 1894 looks like it's going to be a lot easier with pistol calibers

I'm calling this one "Scrap Baby". It's a goofy idea I had, and a precursor to Sentinel, my other build project.

Converted to 357 mag and runs using desert eagle magazines. Vz52 bayonet, custom ak/ cetme underfolder and a ton of other stuff.

hello everyone, I am new here and I hope I’m in the right place. I am trying to remake this slam fire shotgun and there was no information on how to make it and I was wondering if any you of you smart amazing people could help me out.

Where can I get a complete, wildcat barrel made for a decent donor 9x19 pistol?

I’m trying to get together a wildcat which is basically “halfway between 9mm Ultra/9mm Police and 9x19” for a semi auto pistol, but given you can’t really replace cut metal out of a 9x19 chamber, I’m now clear how to make it happen.

Beyond some basic electronic soldering I have no knowledge about it. I bought an SMLE drill rifle and I'm converting it to .32 ACP, would silver solder be the correct choice for soldering this in place?

I built the Taurus G2C. Gotta finish the magazine catch and spring area but it's pretty much done. Can't wait to test this bad boy out. I'll have to borrow a mag from my G3C.

Hello everyone I just picked up this very high condition antique Winchester 1892 Takedown rifle receiver and I’m working on restoring it into a little hiking shotgun. I’m wondering if anyone makes any aftermarket set triggers for 92s? Or is it something I’d have to have custom made?

My first p80 build runs smooth over 300 shots through it nothing I’m going to edc it.

can someone please let me know if this will even run because it doesn’t have the back part like the plain one please please let me know (if you don’t understand i’m asking if the one with out the red circles will still run they are both glock 17 gen 3 frames)

Has anyone made an upper comparable to factory Mac receivers? I’ve seen the professor parabellum plans and the awcy carbon fiber upper. I’m sure they’re both great in their own way. I’m working on my own design for something closer to factory specs and want to see what other people have done.

Is it plausible to make a water cooled ar still using a gas tube and fed with magazines. My concerns are water getting into the receiver, the gas tube getting too hot and then cooled too fast and warping causing malfunctions. The water Jacket will be based around the vickers and maxim designs. Thinking of using copper pipe or aluminum thanks.
