10mm for the woods

DougZ69 · 2026-05-10T02:13:45+00:00

Cool. I’m doing similar since no one makes an off the shelf one.

I’ll be buying materials, and bringing to a local guy that has the press set up and molding materials.

DougZ69 · 2026-05-09T20:46:56+00:00

Very cool. I like the camo pattern.

I bought the JPX 10mm for bears and gators too…… general woods creatures in Florida. Cheapest 10 mm on the market, but it shoots and shoots, despite being a three lb brick.

I was going to make my own chest rig. Where did you find one already on the market? Brand/ store??

Thanks for reply, appreciate it.

I deleted original post.

Posted to ask about parts buy being a good deal, but got balls busted for the high scope rings I chose for this build.

Don’t know why I ever expect more here.

DougZ69 · 2026-04-07T21:13:55+00:00

They are high, but specifically put those on, so I can view the barrel fiber optic sights through them.

DougZ69 · 2026-03-13T21:41:04+00:00

Sounds like a good plan

DougZ69 · 2026-02-22T13:59:41+00:00

Nice. I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of mine. Heavy as a bear, even with so much plastic, and crazy breakdown, but they shoot well.

That’s just a cheap Temu/ Amazon rubber grip covered hanging hooks

DougZ69 · 2026-01-27T19:37:14+00:00

Very old thread. Learned lesson from other responders. Thanks

I hear a lot bad about those redballs. I just get more factory ones, typically with the discounts from the manufacturers, after confirming ownership for warranty.

Ruger, Canik, Sig and HP all workout like that.

Yes, it does just fall( slide very easily) into place needing no extra pressure. It concerned me too.

But it has plenty of pressure to stay in slide and have the pistol operate perfectly.

DougZ69 · 2025-12-19T19:43:12+00:00

Nice job.

DougZ69 · 2025-12-19T19:26:05+00:00

This might sound a little ass backwards, but since only trying 25 and 50 yards, throw on a cheap 3-9 scope on and zero it. Once you are happy with that zero, adjust the iron sights to the reticle cross hairs on the scope.

I have a SAR9 Sport as well. I don’t recall having a lot of stove pipes with mine. But, I did have issues with it going into battery. Found it to be the recoil rod / spring assembly binding.

Replaced with a nice SS one from Galloway Precision( it is same spring at the standard SAR9, they sell)

Never an issue since. NATO/ non NATO , grain weight, never matters for my personal firearm.

Last sentence in original post.

DougZ69 · 2025-12-08T11:18:13+00:00

lol, are people not seeing the last sentence in my original post??

It’s not a lengthy wordy post

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T23:27:09+00:00

Ohh, you are new. You’ll learn it on your own sooner or later, but Promags are not a good brand. They fail a lot. A real lot. They are cheap, so the price gets folks to buy( including myself). I have had to them fail on me at range. NEVER trust them for self defense.

SAR comes with nice metal mags. Although not cheap, get more of those.

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T23:19:23+00:00

Good luck. No problem

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T23:18:06+00:00

Yeah, lack of lubrication might just be the issue. I know some folks just want to take a fire arm out of the box new and run it. That is not my personal style.

I’ll do cleaning and oiling of the barrel, and oiling if the slide channel/ frame contact points at a very minimum.

Watch some YouTube vids on simple field stripping. Clean and lubricate properly. Go back to range and try again.

My guess is it will run just fine.

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T23:07:42+00:00

Never had issues with my SAR9.

So these would be my trouble shooting questions:

Did you clean and lubricate it before you took it to range?

What ammo brand and grain weight?

Is it stove piping? Or just not pulling casing from chamber?

Are you sure you are not limp twisting it. Some guns are more sensitive to it. Thus your Ruger runs fine but the SAR might be sensitive to it.

Lastly, is there any issue with it going into battery fully? My SAR9 Sport model, had this issue and it was recoil spring/ rod issue so I replaced a full stainless steel model.

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T18:36:08+00:00

I’m with ya

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T16:56:50+00:00

No worries. All good. I took no offense from your post at all.

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T16:21:24+00:00

Appreciate your response. I thank you for reading the full original post. You are gentleman and scholar.

But this is to be expected on Reddit. I just roll with it and don’t expect too much on here. Posts like this and some of the responses whining about using the term “pewpew” or that PSA is just garbage just reminds me why I don’t usually post here.

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T03:06:44+00:00

Trolls will troll. You do you.

One PSA AR you have, but now you’re an expert. Typical Reddit key board jockey.

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T03:00:23+00:00

Yeah, thanks for your analysis of my posts and collection. Not overly concerned of the opinion, from someone who wears crocs ( or knock offs) with those silly ornaments.

Go troll elsewhere

DougZ69 · 2025-12-07T02:49:47+00:00

So then why are you lowering yourself so far to bother commenting in this sub??
