dawgdoc is referring to the Moderna vaccine that is unique in using the Virus's protein precursor as instead of what normal vaccines would use a fabricated incredibly toxic Aluminum adjuvant to "wake up" the immune system to produce anti bodies. At least thats how I understand it. Moderna is revolutionary in using this method on humans. I'm a big Antivaxer since my son was damaged by a DTaP vaccine back in 2000 when he was 6. The small a stands for acellular in the abreviation. What that means is the retards that figured out how to minimize reactions from the large virus particles in the vaccine would pulverise the virus particles into sub particles that blow threw the blood brain barrier like it wasnt even there. This creates a 60 percent higher risk of neurological damage according to a recent study by Harvard research. Prior to this Harvard study the companies lied for decades telling people that those type of particles along with aluminum adjuvants do not become lodged within brain cells. Easy to lie when there is huge monies at stake. Anything constructed under the title of Vaccine is totally immune from civil suit for causing physical damage. Thats one huge reason why these companies can race threw the process. Prior to that Federal authorization, the vaccine companies were slated to give up hundreds of millions in awards to damaged children. So they bought civil suit immunity legislation from politicians. It was one hell of a bargan for them to pay into PAC's for this sweet hart deal one time and be done with it.
That all said, if the Moderna Science on this new method of vaccinating is in fact what they advertise it as. I'm all for it. Introducing an Aluminum adjuvant into brain cells is IMO the major cause of children with undetected compromised immune systems to develop a range of neurological disorders including Autism from these vaccine toxins. These toxins would never ever be approved by the FDA via intravenous injection under any circumstances but since its under the protected Vaccine umbrella, the FDA is not required to issue a safety approval.

Before staking in a sight make sure the inside area where the tendon comes threw has an adequate relief pocket for the tendon to be peaned out to. I used to add a little epoxy to the tendon because you cant all ways get a perfect pean spread to go 360% around in the relief. So where the peen is not full, the epoxy fills whatever the tiny gap under it.

I second the How is it jamming question. I can do 1911's in my sleep. There are but a few critical points of possible fail.

For a DIY, strip the frame down to just the plunger tube. Get a perfectly flat sanding block & 320 Auto body shop sandpaper. For the slide use the sanding block in a straight sweep from the very rear to completely off the front. don't stop, hesitate or move off sideways....ever, when doing this motion. The idea is to keep your paper cut lines perfectly in line with the slide. If the scatches are too deep & you want them out, go to 220g paper and then work your way back up to what ever fininsh you want. 400 being topped out. Then you can use the compounds if you want more shine. The frame is a bit tuffer to work around the plunger tube but same idea just miss the tube with each stoke. then sand up to and then away from the tube. Once the flats are done, carefully tape the flats off with quality masking tape and find some one who can low pressure sand blast the slide top and edges of the frame. I use glass beads for a very fine smooth matt finish. Pull off the tape and say hello to your brand new colt!

And that's why I've been looking at mg42s. LOL
Back when I was looking for a belt feed, I thought the RPD was my best option with the mint Polish kits running under $300 at Sarco and DSA semi receivers for $350. Pretty much a no brainer there. Only thing I hated was the way these were being built with a sliding hammer made up FCG. That brain fart system is about as far from mil spec as you can imagine, so I figured out how to fab in a HK G3 lower with a HK91 FCG that slips into the G3 frame and is removable. With a heavy finned SS barrel and M2 bipod it weighs in at about 20 lbs but shoots nice. A couple guys wanted to do conversions like this so I spec'ed out all the work and put it here. Maybe not a everyone project but food for thought for belt fed fabricators.

I assembled a 5.56 10.5" barreled AR pistol last month and Gez, these little guys are so fun to handle, I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!
Heres the write up incase some missed it.

Glad you got it! But let's hear more about the AR45 build. I've been really wanting one.
Yeah, I got side tracked on some faded bucket list script. I only have some parts right now like a right hand handle cocking upper and a sweet KAK barrel that's 16" but will get chopped to about 10" @ $133 shipped and gorgeous bore but they put a 1/2 x 28 thread on the end that is dam near into bore ID! Must have been a mistake and that's why there so cheap. Biggest mod will be grafting a MAC 10 mag well into a uncut AR lower mag well. I have about 15 or so grease gun mags. I bet the guy that designed AK mags got the idea of how heavy duty they need to be after looking at a grease gun mag. Loaded or empty, you could bludgeon something to death with it. With todays levels of frustration, there is something satisfying about that

Today a guy bought my 1903 Springfield rifle for 7 bones. I was going to put that money toward a AR45 build but like an idiot I cruised GB for odd ball things I had handled over the many decades passed that I took an interest in. One of those was a rifle that one of my clients used to hunt in various countries. I don't remember the cal his was in but the one I won is in 308 and that's one of my stashed ammo cals for my 2 FAL's and 2 98's. So this one has some wear & tear on it but nothing major from the pics. The GB pics dosent show the action in the open position so I found this old add that has great pictures of one in 270. Mine is identical other wise with no scope. Trust me, if you like a smooooth working action that feels and sounds right when racking it, this gun is amazing. The design & workmanship of the action is pretty mind blowing in its function. Scored it for a hair over a grand.

Nice find. I all ways liked the idea of the polygonal rifling they put in those HK's. Its a slick method of improved gas seal on a jacketed bullet. I'm a FAL guy but certainly respect the STG off spring. Besides, if it had any flaws what so ever in its FCG, I wouldn't have morphed a 91 trigger cage in this G3 housing onto a RPD frame! Good Luck with it. Quality stuff...... not like the 3 Cetme kits I have that will role your eyes around

This all reminded me to check for some extra 100rd mag bags. Last time I bought some they were 35 bucks each. Now I see a couple outfits asking $69 for one! And that's no links. These run 75 rds nicely in my RPD. Good luck on the build. Oh, by the way, I bought a number of the plastic 200 round boxes and now I see why the grunts hated them. Pure garbage plastic latching on them. Don't waste your money on those P's OS. Good luck on the build.

North American Arms has a great service department. I'd contact them and see if they wouldn't ship out a replacement mag catch rather than modifying the one on your new (to you) Guardian.
too late, I all ready ordered one that comes in a set with 2 finger extensions. Not bad at 30 bucks. Im curious to see if they have a non push off shelf of a mag contact step.
-
I changed the link with a US seller that's in stock. I'm not crazy about everything Chinese either but a lot of stuff is just not available. Sure, its gotten out of hand thanks to our "favored Nation trading" pre Trump. It will take a lot of time to turn these products around as US made.

Thanks for the comments. Well, I went to fire it first time and on the first shot, the trigger spring broke and the mag dropped loose! I had a spare trigger spring and put that in. There were mag dropping problems with these guns and they make a newer replacement mag catch thats supposed to be the fix. I think this is one of them but my thick finger pressure force pushed it down on recoil. The fix is to dremil cut the mag catch "step" with an inverted surface that leaves the mag with absolutely no down ward movement in the mag body as the release step moves away from mag to release it. Originally, you can see the magazine slowly creep downward (from locked in position) as the mag button is very slowly pushed in. Big Taboo there. So the next 2 mags shoot out with no issues and gave me time to figure out the sights and nearly 11 lb trigger pull. I'v not fired a full box threw these little pop guns yet but feel this one shoots better groups over my other one. Not bad really and probably better than the sharp stick some prefer over a sub compact cal.

Hey folks, Every once in a while I run into a China product that is a fantastic value. This easily qualifies for that. After I have pulled a couple slivers I ordered 5 of these for gifts. The capper on just how useful these are is this story. My wife had what looked like a skin tag popping out on her upper eye lid where the eye lashes are. By naked eye, yeah it certainly looked like a skin tag. Then I thought let me look at it with those jewelers glasses set to 15X. It in fact was an ingrown hair that tried to poke out but did a U turn back into the lid skin. I could clearly see the black hair below the skin surface. So with a acupuncture needle, I carefully broke the skin at its furthest point sticking out and exposed the hair enough to grab it with my extra fine tweezers and pulled the hair out root and all. The jewelers glasses made this possible. Even with a basic magnifying glass, it would not have been any help at all in defining the situation. I'v pulled a number of wood & steel slivers out of my fingers with these glasses and its nothing short of amazing on knowing, I got it all within a highly accurate extraction. The 25X lens is way too strong on any operations since my fine tweezers tips look like cannon barrels. Clearly, these are prized as a survival tool.

Picked this up from a local guy for 3 bones and was surprised it had gutter tritium sights. That's a $150 option but the tritium was depleted so I milled out the glass a tiny bit enough for some paint and put color in them. Then I figured I'd give it a barrel flute job and put a .090 deep radius cut down both top barrel edges. These are true pocket pistols and sized it over a Rossi 88 that's about the best S&W M60 clone out there. These little 32acp guns are not bad hitters with Underwood copper 55g loads. It came with a nice leather pocked holster + spare 6 rd mag. I put a mirror polish on the slide sides and barrel. That red in the slide pic is my red flannel shirts reflection. I guess I should shoot this soon. The other 32 Guardian has light rifling and doesent stabilize the bullets as good as can be but this one looks like it has much more defined lands & grooves.

This educational video has a lot of interesting conceal carry methods that I simply was not aware of. And the fact that I'm old enough to be her Dad.... mind you, my mind was strictly disciplined to the enlightening information of the equipment available to females who are of this particular physical build. On the fence about showing my wife this..... Apparently, this girl has a huge following on youtube. A very bright gal for sure.

If you like a SBR, whats not to love about a handy 6.5 lb mini sized gun that can still reach out fairly well in a mid cal. With an Enhanced permit, this is a no brainer in the cool toy category. The barrel is 10.5 SS Wylde chambered from Bear Creek Armory. Originaly, I thought you might loose too much velocity and thought a 12" might be best but the 10.5 caught my eye at just over 100 bucks and it only looses about 200 fps from a 16' barrel. The $47 handguard is from Wish and I really like it. One thing that is a super tabo for me is a stock that is not rock solid. This SBM4 unit is a slip on and it would have needed a lot of tape on a round pistol spring tube to come close to being non movable. The fix was to put an old fixed stock tube (no position holes) in the lathe and turn the bottom rib down to make it only about 1/8th high on the tube body. Also, you can see I milled a rectangular hole in the bottom of the brace. This hole matches a higher part of the tube rib that pops up threw that hard rubber hole I milled. Now this fixed SBM4 brace is like welded to the tube. The SBM4 brace does infact have a very comfy wide cheek surface for those that would tempt ones luck and not be seen by a federally as you might shoulder a quick shot. The little guns balance point is at the forward portion of the mag well. Needless to say, it swings up and points exceptionally well with the pop up sights.
I like this configuration so much, I started putting parts together for a copy of this one but it will run a finned Thompson SMG barrel inside the same hand guard and feed off grease gun mags. That should be a fun project.

I think the AR handguard came from WISH. The bolt handle was fabed up from a random auto bolt I had in my various bolt box. I just made up the parts from what was on hand so its nothing really specific.

I don't have a gauge but you have an opportunity here. If you want the highest accuracy possible out of this bolt gun, I would take the bolt that does in fact close on a fresh round and do this. Take the firing pin and extractor out of the bolt, put a dab of dykem blue on the recoil face of the bolt lugs. Put a fresh round into the chamber and put the bolt in battery once, remove the bolt and check for equal rub on both bolt recoil lugs. A good percentage of factory bolt/receiver combinations are not individually mated in the factory. If you see you have more run on 1 lug that the other, You may very well get the "snug functioning of the bolt to go into a smooth battery function by lug lapping the bolt with valve grinding compound. zero headspace is the ultimate headspace on bench guns. Like I said, this problem could be a good thing! Either way, Good Luck with it.

I forgot about when they changed over to the cast so looked it up and this posting has a lot of info on those crappy lifters. If yours is in fact a 79 its probably a cast lifter. Heres that posting just so folks know what their looking at.

If the Winchester has a stamped cartridge lifter, get rid of that one. Those break all the time and the cast replacements are long gone.

I used to work at Schrade Ellenville back in the 70's oiling leather sheaths by the thousands. I grew up in that area. And Yes, the old Walden Schrades are very collectable. Great blade steel in those knives for sure. A buddy of mine opened up the Napanoch Knife museum. Hes a walking taking encyclopedia of collector knive info. Schrade being a favorite of his. Come to think of it, I worked in Walden also! They have a super max state prison there. I Officered in that S**T hole.

I was looking to see if the 84 or 85 models could also be converted with a donor barrel, just for the sake of curiosity. But so far I don't think there's a barrel source...
Yeah, model 81 barrels are pretty much hens teeth. The very only option aside from buying an 81 is something I'v been thinking about. Numrich has Taurus model PT 57 barrels. That is a 32ACP barrel exactly like the 81 except its scaled up by about 20 percent. Iv been thinking about buying one and lathe turn and mill the smaller barrel dimensions out of it. Its a bit longer so it could be threaded and most of all, unlike the slightly loose Beretta barrel fit to frame, I could cut it to a press in friction fit to my frame, eliminating the wandering target hits all together.
The other issue I'm trying to uncover is PTG makes the chamber reamer. The odd thing is on their web sight they list 2 different reamers. A standard 32NAA finisher and a 32NAA SAAMI spec reamer. I called them to see what the difference is and the woman said one "may not" be US made. Thats BS all PTG reamers are in house, so I emailed them the question. Nothing yet. The standard reamer is a bit oversized IMO with fired case expansion of .009 and a few cracked necks on the hornady fired casings. I'm hoping the SAAMI spec reamer is a bit tighter around the cartridge. That way, I could make a real "Target" barrel out of a PT57 barrel. IDK, what folks would pay for one but its a play project that might have some stumpy legs on it!

Apparently Beretta uses the same recoil springs in the 32ACP and the 380ACP according to the parts listings.

Nice! Thats a great past time. Back in the days before a 10/22 was all the rage, I used to take cool aid, splash it on the back of a paper target and pick off flies with my Ithaca X15. It was only 25 yards but good clean fun.
