I posted this one before with an SBR lower and Recce 7 can. Now it has an Omega 9K and SBA3. I like this brace so much I doubt I will ever get a fourth NFA lower.

Stupidity springs eternal in Uffdaland. Took this to the range today with the 12.5 (which is a slice of heaven) and it was single action only. Tried H2, 3, & 4 buffers with no joy. It functioned fine as an SBR. Hmm? Got home and realized I had just swapped the A5 buffer and rifle spring into the A3 carbine tube!

Much as I hate paying for the new Photobucket, I’m thankful it is geezer friendly.

The sba3 is hilariously good. Still curious how the ATF let it by. Oh well! Nice blaster.

I decided I “needed” another PDW so finished off a Sionics lower to match their 11.5” upper and popped on an SBA3 to free up another SBR lower. I’m trying a JP captured buffer just for grins. And the 300 BLK has now got a proper carbine spring and heavy buffer.

I don’t normally push it, but like knowing I can tote these loaded in the truck if necessary. If they had names they would be Fireball, Rude, and Mr. Manners.

P.S. I discovered that forcing off a well staked castle nut may gouge the nut, wrench and strip the tube threads. Drilling out most of the staked mass first with a 1/16” bit works well.

I want to try a Geissele braided buffer spring. Most of mine have worn in (regular springs) but my Colt spring just sproings so badly even with tuned gas and when it’s spotlessly cleaned

I had one that came with a BCM kit that noisy. I broke it back down, hosed the shit out of it with brake cleaner and then swabbed it with white lithium grease, and swabbed the inside of the tube with a mixture of moly based grease and aeroshell. It worked much better than thin film lubricants.

Looks great Jerry... needs a Fortis or Lantac end plate for a 1 point though.

Thanks UW. I looked at both, availability (in black) was an issue, so I have a Strike Industries QD mount (for the M-Lok) on the way. I will use a 2 Point from the QD to the blade. I have a 1 point on the other pistol, and may convert later when "stuff" comes back in stock. Going to GriffonSec's next week to zero the irons and Romeo 5, and run it hard to be sure it works with ball, HD, and my lead reloads; magazines may be problematic as well - need to be sure everything works. Working on a detailed Product Review, that I will post later this month.

Don't even wonder that out loud!
