    It gotta be something simple... Possibly even your take down spring is too tight... Like pushing up too much

    you see how it gets stuck when going in motion to chamber? could my slide lock spring be messed up?

    I've had a ghost connector that never worked. But the more I think about it, it's more likely your take down spring is pushing up too much pressure. Probably adjusted it. If that doesn't work I'll send you a picture...

    It may... There's definitely videos you can watch to figure out what's catching. I'll look and add it here in a minute.

    so the trigger bar could be snagging on the slide?

    trigger connector is ghost one and it’s perfect

    Lots of lube.. and keep racking it. Needs to be broken in

  • u/Strange_Bet559 · 2023-03-22 02:21:03 UTC · score 1

    You put a straight upper on a gay lower you either need to change the color on the lower or use more lube...

  • u/Emillions4500 · 2023-03-21 05:39:10 UTC · score 7

    U honestly gotta break it in when your home, cock it back and let it cycle till its smooth or shoot it and smack the bullet into battery and shoot it till it cycles smoothly

    I think the trigger disconnect needs to be adjusted. All these comments aren't going to fix out of battery. Possibly the trigger bar that need a little smoothing.

    Has anyone seen or heard of a Fallout style combat rifle in the works? I’m a huge nerd and fallout is one of my favorite games. A replica combat rifle would be awesome to have especially bc I have a rifleman build in fallout 76

    Iv printed the scarab v2 totally fine but this keeps either disconnecting from the supports at the front or rear. Polymaker pla pro 220/65 80mm/s top z distance .26. I have it orientated at a 45° like the scarab v2 but this has less surface area with the build plate than the scarab v2. How did yall print it/ orient it?

    Was hoping I got good enough layer adhesion here, and I may have, but cracks formed at the pin holes.

    Fortunately did not have this happen while firing. I noticed the cracks when inspecting the gun at my desk, flexed it, and it completely snapped.

    Figured I would share as an example to others. Filament choice is super important in 3D2A. Be careful.

    Modified files to fit in Hoffman AR-9 Super Lower. Original files fit mil-spec AR-15 lower just fine. Both function check good after minor break in.

    I see the kits for 40s and 9s, but no 45s. Is there a beta or did someone make one already?

    Update to the Chiqtana (Delayed blowback 9mm fully DIY)

    Sorry for lack of updates, finished my degree. After making a few barrels I changed the trunnion mount, rather than using pins, you can use flat bar, and file the receiving channel on the barrel to fit them. Again, this uses no existing gun parts, and you can ECM the barrel. You will need a drill press to making the screw holes in the receiver plates, but I am also working on jigs with drill bushings and printed housings to make the drilling process repeatable and accurate. Feel free to ask any questions.

    I saw a whole ago you could upload an STL to them and they'd serialize and print the thing and ship it to an FFL. I guess that's not a thing anymore on the website. Is it still a possibility to do or are there any other places offering the same service?

    Roboprop / Cop-Outo9

    Im developing an Auto9 prop for my old 92S. A 0.75” OD steel tube will inserted into the hole and overlap the barrel with 1mm clearance. I’ll grind a lead-in and ports prior to press fit/gluing/(pinning?) it in place. The steel tube will extend ~10mm from the end of the prop assembly. The prop will be held in place by a cross screw inside the trigger guard…..and a shoulder bolt screwed into the tip of the aluminum recoil spring guide, tapped for M4. The shoulder bolt head will prevent the prop from rotating downward during cycling. Also considering putting a cross bolt through the front web of the trigger guard.

    Mac 11 issues

    Hello, I just wanted to start this post glazing u/Pfunk117 for introducing the wackmack, one of only functioning super safe mac11 builds I have found in the sea. I have tossed hundreds of dollars into other super safe mac11 DB9 derivatives all for them not to work and destroy my barrel.

    My upper is a VMAC 11".

    Now for my main issue, I was using my wackmack as normal on the range and dumped 120 rounds through it for 3 days. Keep in mind, the only range ammo I used when running this gun was Remington and Blazer FMJ's. I let one of my friends try out my weapon on the range and he loaded some Winchester Full Metal Jacket Flat Nose target rounds through my gun and it exploded leaving this.
