I have disappoint.

Got mine yesterday too. Bushmaster version but I doubt there is any real difference.

Mine worked fine. But it didn't come with the oil you are supposed to put on the co2 canisters.

Might sit out tonight after dark and scare off those darned javalinas. They keep eating at my plants in front of the house. Hope I'm not spotted and get a swat team visit.

You are supposed to put oil on the canisters? I didn't - what is the purpose / ramifications of not doing so? Just regular gun oil?

Helps create a seal i believe.

Does.

My issue was further in the magazine, there is a clear break in the casting as I removed and unscrewed the plastic pieces and found it bout 3/4” above the induction point of the cartridges. It’s me luck, I have to live with it. I wrote crossman and asked how to get it swapped out.

This. They define a specific oil but I'm guessing any viscous oil will work. Heck olive oil will probably work.

K, I'll do the same on the next cartridges. Do you have to do this every time you swap cartridges?

Did you have to hand your balls over to your wife?

Strangely no, I prefaced it with this being my father's day gift, so I think she was partially relieved she didn't have to bother doing anything anymore.

But I have to admit, it is a fun little gun for the money. If Murf993 buys one and has a few rums before he takes it for a little run, I bet he'll be enjoying himself too, despite probably having had access to some *unique / fully automatic* weapons in his lifetime. Its just fun because it costs next to nothing.

I think the manual says so as well as periodic seal on cartridge and break down the gun itself just like an AR and at a few points on bolt and trigger assembly.

They only have a few left so if you're considering one I'd recommend jumping on the deal!

I ordered an Obsidian 9 in FDE yesterday.

GD…substantial is right; the increase is almost as much as the cost of a stamp!

eForm 1 trust, one responsible party.

filed 06/16, prints mailed 06/17, arrived 06/21.

approved and pdf in hand 07/09.

examiner Carol Ripley.

3 weeks. Now my Banshee sbr is complete.

[Fly320s]

Damn, that is fast.

Did you already have a Trust or did you get one just for that SBR, like Silencer Shop does?

[chowser51]

I've had the same trust for years. It was the free Maryland Trust that was on the internet for the longest. I just modified it for Ohio.

The Banshee is stamp #21. I have 7 SBRs and 14 suppressors now.

[Fly320s]

You are living right.

Nothing with a giggle switch?

[chowser51]

Yes. I'm alive. lol.
I don't own anything with a giggle switch, but I did assign myself one of our department's rifles that has a giggle switch that I bring back and forth to work so I have it at home if I need it. It's nice to be in charge of firearms at work.





We have ten select-fire rifles at work. Safe/Semi/Full. No 3 rd burst stuff. They are assigned to our eight patrol cars with two serving as spares or assigned to an officer to take home. The chief has one of the spares and I have the other. I slapped my 8.5" 300blk suppressed upper on it. Mag dumps are expensive.

We used to have some MP5s but they were traded in.

I tried to keep one but I wasn't in charge at the time.


My son built his 14th birthday present early today since his parts came in. He's had an SBR'd lower sitting around for a while so he chose to make a suppressed 22LR SBR with Hera furniture. It's not my thing but it's his money so he can build what he wants.

Has anyone built a 9mm PCC?

on the AR platform?

I did with PSA parts years ago when they first came out. Hated it. Ended up buying a SIG MPX. Hated it. Bought a CMMG Banshee, love it. Still waiting for the MP5 clone from PSA to come out.


my PSA 9mm AR next to my MPX.

Yes, a couple.

Started years ago using Uzi mags and a drop-in mag well adapter. It worked, but not that well.

Like Chowser, I have a MPX (first gen), a CMMG (pre-banshee), and a franken rifle that uses a 9mm blowback upper on a standard AR lower with CMMG ARC-9 mags.

[M5Rick]

not bad

What happened at the lower left 7? Had you picked your nose?
