What did you do to your firearm today.

[chris_1001]

Pulled a Rise Armament RA-140 trigger from my Aero MSR, and sent it back to Rise Armament for a replacement, under warranty. (wasn't resetting last time I took it to range)

I thought Rise was solid. Disappointed to hear this.

Last year I had the same issue with an RA-535, had to manual push the trigger bow forward to get it to reset. Hearing your story makes me wonder if it is more than a one off issue.

I will say that they honored their lifetime warranty without question and their RMA process was quick (they shipped a new trigger before they even had my return).

 

[DW357]

I’ve got the 140 and 535 and they’ve been trouble free.

 

[Stee]

Bedded my Weatherby 7 mag, 2.5 lb timney and now feeding it 140 gr barnes at 3362 fps.. shooting much better

 

[Amputee Marksman]

P226 SAO Legion.

Installed DPM Recoil System, 12 lb. Spring and Short Recoil Guide Cup. Installed Sig Armorer Superstrut with Armory Craft 12 lb. main spring. Replaced sear spring with Armory Craft spring. Install Armory Craft Dual Adjustable trigger. Install Armory Craft takedown lever.

I would have replaced the magazine release with an extended one but the newer P226 Legion have the split (P320 style) magazine releases and I haven't found anyone who makes one.

As always my eternal thanks to the various people on YouTube who make videos on this. The SigGuy's videos were especially helpful.

Now I need to get to the range after work this week and test everything out.

I had an RA-140 and I had the similar problem. They exchanged it under warranty. New one has been fine. About 2k rounds on it now.

 

[RadMabbit]

Getting close.. trigger/sear/hammer/safety all fitted, with a few more parts to fit/modify still. Really looking forward to completing this project.

Twin 1911 Government .45acp Too many custom parts to list.

 

[Golddiggie]

Picked up my CZ TS 2 and 22/45 on Saturday from the gunsmith. 22/45 had it's barrel threaded (front sight relocated so it's still usable). TS 2 got a Holosun 507k x2 installed.

Tisas Stainless Carry Commander $399 on sale.
Transfer fee - 25$

This weekend added:

Ed Brown stainless snakeskin mainspring Magwell - $70
Did not drop in, had to file to remove material, modify to get grip safety to function correctly.
Tisas basically has a larger notch on the top of their mainspring housings by maybe 20 or 30 thou.

Added Gunn Grips - 30$

Pretty nice piece for around $500

Next Projects

Ruger PC Carbine will get one of those Magpul stocks.......

 

[BrunoN]

L1a1 upper is at my smith getting its barrel threaded and proper flash hider installed. Been working on the wood more in the meantime. These were the handguards when I started, then cleaned up with mineral spirits, and after the first coat of blo. I've since done 4 total coats with two more to do. I wait atleast 24-36 hours between coats. Looking good so far!

 

[mcb]

Cleaned these two after a nice night at the range


And mounted a RMSc on my macro

 

[Sheriff9mm]

A coworker of mine said he was having feeding and cycling issues with his AR. Magazines had a lot of play front to back when inserted. Looks like the culprit was a severely worn out (or completely wrong size) magazine release spring. Replaced it with a new assembly and now the rifle runs fine.

Yeah not worn, but rather the wrong spring.

Good looking out for your buddy.

 

[GunCat]

Picked up some surplus stocks from Numrich to mess around with. Gave the fiberglass one a light cleaning, then tried my hand at sponge camo. I don't hate it for a first try.

The walnut stock I debated leaving alone, but wanted some practice before working on a tiger stripe stock I have coming in. So, that got stripped down and will be hit with tung oil once it dries a few days.

 

[allen-1]

1022 with bull barrel and scope => taccom 10.2 oz barrel and reddot for steel challenge

 

[RadMabbit]

Finally got this assembled and cycling properly. 50 hours “invested” so far. Built from 80 lower AND upper, raw stainless parts. Time for a final polish and to complete the other one…

Did you tighten the 2 small inner Allens on the trigger? Tons forget those.When NES had the group buy on a Velocity trigger I bought one and also didn’t reset, sent back and milled down a little and has been 100% in a few thousand rounds.
My RA-140 Rise has been perfect for like 4 years now.

 

[LuvDog]

I took apart 3 barreled actions and will be looking to sell some things.
Stainless Remington 700 Action
Remage 6.5 CM Barrel
Right Hand Stainless Tikka T3x
Left Hand Stainless Tikka T3x
2 Preferred Barrel Blanks 6.5 CM Tikka Prefits

 

[BrunoN]

Still playing with my l1a1 deban project.
Got all the furniture matching as close I could. Also got some tools to pull the barrel so I can send it out to be threaded properly.

 

[Parker Duofold]

Installed this Vortex 1-8 optic on my Colt LE6940 AR15 M4 Monolithic carbine. Also upgraded the milspec trigger with this 2.5 lb. flat trigger.

Will take to the range next week here in the sovereign state of South Carolina.

 

[MetalliCorey]

Finally got my tacticon blems package in think this puppys complete. Kel-tec ksg

Attached tacticon flipsights and firefly vg3 laser/flashlight battlegrip. Previously installed the mcarbo bayonette spikes and and slapped the +1 grip cover on there. Currently cutting the foam out of my case to make room for the new features

 

[Shawnyc]

Rebuilt up my poverty pony SBR which utilized lots of budget parts including a PSA 10.5” upper and milspec trigger. Painted the lower and rebuilt it with slightly better parts including a Aero 12.5” upper fitted with a Olight Odin, Magpul grip, B5 Bravo stock, Rise trigger and topped off with a Eotech XPS2 and Diamond head BUS. Looking forward to using it at next rifle class.

 

[Sheriff9mm]

One of my coworkers found his grandfather’s old spur trigger revolver and asked if I knew what it was. After some digging around on the interwebs, I found out that it’s a Bacon Arms Reliable revolver chambered in .22 short. Bacon Arms, established by Thomas Bacon, was operating between 1859 and 1888 in Norwich, CT, and this specimen was produced sometime between 1870 and 1888 before the company dissolved.

I still need to add the gas block, but here she is. Finished off the end of the cut and blackened it with aluma-black.

The whole build happened because my 9” Faxon 300blk barrel wouldn’t even cycle supers unsuppressed. Then Black Collar Arms released a limited batch of 7” 1:5 twist 300blk barrels. Hopefully it shoots a lot better than the Faxon. . I probably should have double checked before chopping a handguard. Whoops

 

[PappyM3]

She looks kind of funky, but I’m really liking how this handles inside the house.



Also kind of makes me think of the good ol’ SAS flashlight mod.

 

[BREWINZ]

P365X slide, PMM Comp with aluminum Icarus Precision P365XL grip module.

 

[Uzi2]

Converted a 1919a4 semi to 8mm Mauser. Changed out the barrel and booster and front cartridge stop, then head spaced it and test fired it.
