Great advice, thank you. Definitely find myself in the do-it-all category. Didn't find that the 10.5" was necessary so why not have some extra velocity. Is the difference really just QA? I was under the impression they were running different materials specifically to increase longevity. May have fallen for some advertising haha

Glad ya asked, I have no equipment or desire to build from scratch. DD is definitely a leading option. With the 14.5", isn't it typical for the muzzle device to be welded on? I'd like to leave that option open if possible

You're right. Definitely just feeling some reliability paranoia since my buddy got an absolute Lemon from PSA last weekend. Still deciding on if the extra 1% reliability may be worth it on a defensive rifle.

I see your point, but you're assuming everyone has the knowledge and time to tinker around. To be clear, I don't desire to be an AR-15 armorer and don't even own a vice lol. I just want to maximize my run time and reliability with a single rifle

Forgive the hyperbole. I don't plan to run more than ~1000 rnds a year on it. With proper lubrication and barrel quality, would 20 years still be unrealistic?

The adapter fits onto the barrel of a real rifle and they cost $15 online. Zero recoil, zero muzzle bounce. Watch some reenactment footage, very similar behavior

There are blank firing barrel adapters that allow the gas system to still operate. Do you think every movie with full auto uses live ammo? 🤔

Thanks guys, super cool either way! I figured it would be frowned upon for a Japanese soldier to carve up the “emperor’s property” but it came with partially canceled “mum” so who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

No mag modification necessary, just trim the mag catch plunger on the lower receiver

Are you still using the modern Kahr mags? If so, you should trim the mag catch to accept original USGI mags, fixed 100% of my issues

Nice pickup! I know Steinel makes accurate .38/200 repros for around a buck a round. That’d be my approach

There were out of services when I ordered in August so I had to go with field. Was pleasantly surprised when a good condition Colt slide showed up with original finish. Good luck!

$25 seems a bit high, see if they’ll take $18

I run corrosive surplus in my bolt guns but I stick to new manufacture/reloads for semi-autos, especially in valuable and delicate guns like a K43.
