That's a fair statement, lol. I at least like to try doing things on my own first, though. There's something about having a firearm that you've worked on yourself as opposed to something you've paid...

I was considering something like that!

I guess in fairness, Bill was probably referring to doing something by hand in particular.

I have one that I like very much. My only complaints are that it is losing it's finish on the slide and (more importantly) it has a slight feeding issue on occasion. I am in the process of replacing...

Reliability is the main concern here. Yes, I have had some feeding issues that MAY be solved by slowing down the motion of the slide as it strips the top round from the magazine. If that doesn't...

I wanted to have a small radius or square bottom on the fps. This was JBM's original design and I've have heard a lot of reviews about it increasing reliability and reducing muzzle flip.
