Glad to see you doing this work. You're going to save a number of people some headaches for sure. I'm going to PM you about a Cerakote job. You breaking down/ reassembling the shotguns around the coating work? I'd feel more comfortable knowing you were handling that piece of the effort.

Just be sure to put in the extra battery in with the proper orientation or you can have problems. It comes with a warning if memory serves. I also wrap the spare in Saran wrap. The O-ring in lieu of the battery has a history to shutting down the red dot on an AR-15 due to recoil. I can only imagine the issue on a 12 gauge.
As has been noted, it takes awhile to need to change a battery in the T-1 so I don't think I'd buy another one. I picked up a third T-1 recently and didn't even bother to see if I could find one. It also comes with the typical ridiculous KAC pricing -- $37.44 for a cap to solve a nonexistent problem.

Thanks. I probably have it on my LR Tivo as I have a "season's pass" for the show but didn't know it aired until this am. If not, I'll find it.

MIssed the episode on the M4 that I think debued last night. Anyone see it and have comments?
-
I just received mine (finally!) on Saturday, 7/13. The installation was a little tougher than I expected. Halfway through screwing the mag tube into the receiver it came to an abrupt stop, and I thought for sure the threads were messed up. I had to use all my strength to get it set in properly. I did use loctite...but I'd imagine once the tube is in its not going to come loose very easily
All of my old thread lock came off with the old tube. Could you have had a hard, dry gob of it in the threads of the receiver? Of course, it matters little as you got it on.

It's even worse when you learn she is the one that actually introduced the House legislation on high-cap mags. In other words, she's the Democrat's subject matter expert.
I love her pedantic, condescending style of talking while basically painting herself to be a moron. God help us.
Go to her website or Twitter address and let her know she's a *******, my fingers are getting tired from typing such.

Stranger,
Not too crazy about doing a disassembly to your level. Did you friend just mail off the bolt assembly to get NiB'd? Know what that cost?
-
I have some of the FL paste and spray CLP. I'm experimenting with it on a 1911. Are you guys using the FL solvent or relying on the cleaning properties of the CLP?
-
Well worth $450.
-
What's wrong? The barrels aren't in his mouth.
-
Damn! You do a really nice job on these. Worthy of a sticky. Not planning on doing this anytime soon, but this will be helpful to those that opt to disassemble to this level.
Thanks for the effort and thanks for sharing.

Same crap service for years, just new people exposed to it.

I have tried a: T-1, M4s, EoTech(s), Burris FFs and RMR(s). I opted to leave the dual illum RMR on my FNP 45 tactical pistol and use an adjustable ilum model on the M4. Admit to being torn between the various RMR models for the M4, but I find the RMRs to work best and that's what sits on mine now.

Good video KB. Happy Turkey Day.

The Senate has become a hyper-partisan vehicle of gridlock over the past decade, really forcing one to contemplate and re-examine why the need for such a chamber in the first place? Each State gets two Senators regardless as to the number of constituents? Well, at least D.C. doesn't get any, despite getting 3 votes in the electoral college.
Fact of the matter remains, Fienstein can sit there and look stupid by trying to define what an assault weapon actually is, but for the next two years at least the House is controlled by the GOP and there will be no legislation on firearms. And even if the Senate were to take up a UN firearms treaty, I don't see how they would get 66 votes with only 55 Democrats.
This was basically my point. Don't worry about Feinstein and her legislation. The gun lobby and gun owners still scare the crap out of most Members that aren't in safe, urban Dem districts.
I'll pass on offering comments regarding your positions on the Senate, etc. Discussions on that are better conducted elsewhere.
-
I don't know how the Senate believes they can supersede the House and start doing whateverTF they want, suggesting some sort of new assault weapons ban? All bills begin in the house, not the Senate. I read an article earlier this morning on Harry Reid suggesting that they change the Senate rules pertaining to rules changes (so they can amend the rules on filibustering,) requiring a simple majority (51 votes) instead of a 2/3's majority. Really? Just pick and choose whichever rule or law that fits their agenda, and make it up as they go? Lawmakers should not be permitted to violate the law.
Feinstein is within her rights, but it's grandstanding, simple as that. And NO, they aren't violating any law in the Senate.
If you and others are curious about the real process a few points to share:
Any House Member or Senator can propose legislation with the exception of revenue generating bills that must originate in the House (Art.1, Section 7, Clause 1) so Feinstein can "suggest" whatever she wishes. Look up the hundreds of bills and resolutions annually numbered with an "S" vs an "H" prefix to see that the Senate has this right to propose legislation.
Second, the Senate alone can do nothing. Until the Senate and the House pass identical legislation and the POTUS signs off, it means nothing. Third, the Constitution provides broad guidelines, but the Senate operates by a set of rules, and changes to those rules can and have changed frequently over time. In regard to the filibuster, 2/3s of the vote means nothing (at least currently). 2/3s of the vote required refers to passage of treaties, joint resolutions proposing amendments to the Constitution and overriding a POTUS veto. 60 votes or 3/5s invokes cloture and ends filibustering currently. This is an agreed to "rule" that can be changed, but as it offers protection to the minority, even the majority meddles with it at great peril. After all, things change. We won't see a change to a simple majority vote (ala the House) on all legislation, but we may see things that make filibustering and "holds" on nominees harder to execute or at least more visible. The constitutional option often referred to as the "nuclear option" has been in place since 1957. This is not to be confused with reconciliation, which allows issues related to the annual budget to be decided by a simple majority without the possibility of filibuster.

This is a site to discuss shotguns. Certainly not defending anyone/anything or criticizing the opinions of my fellow posters, just saying that debating political systems or the people involved is best done elsewhere. I'm trying to escape from over a year of intense BS political ads here in VA. You're all free to be pissed, but please to it elsewhere. Argue politics on political forums. You have lots of places to play, spare us here.

Having the "opposite" part in the House certainly provides them an opportunity to appear to stand for something different; but again its just another good cop / bad cop routine. No matter what the party the outcome remains the same; a good example is George W Bush, he was the biggest Democrat since Johnson and the "Republican" House back him all the way.
The fact is that even with the Repubicrats in the House and the Demopublicans in the White house, they pass more and more laws every day that people don't pay attention too, the only things they supposedly "disagree" on are for the Public's Dog and Pony show.
In the end, the country makes leaps and pauses towards totalitarianism. We have experienced a leap since 2001 and in a few years it will reach a pause stage that is long enough to help people forget what liberty and freedom taste like.
Keep your chin up. It's not as bad as you think it is.
-
Do all that you can to support the House. Nothing happens if they remain strong. SCOTUS doesn't write or enact laws. If they don't get the 2nd Amendment issue to mess around with it doesn't matter.

Tucker,
That's the most tactical video I've seen on this site in....months.
-
If that is the case, then it seems that the simple solution to the 922r issue is just to send our Benelli fire control parts (and maybe the pistons) to ROBAR to be NP3'd. That way one has a "factory" Benelli which has be atoned into American made parts via a baptism of NP3. So sayeth the ATF?
I'd say no. The H2Os remain "in production" and haven't entered the retail market place until coated. If even that minimal level of work is done to a part in the US and the BAFTE rules it now US made shotgun, the 992r issue isn't germane. Ours would have been sold in the retail market and thus we have to sweat conducting a compliant modification process.
But no need to over think this. Buy a tube, a follower, a foregrip and maybe a hammer if you need the fourth US made part and you're all set. No need, nor should there be a desire, to get as many US parts as possible. It would no longer matter.
-
The hammer should not cause any issues. Geissele is actually the company that is replacing many of the KAC fire control groups in military weapons. Their stuff is solid, and has a track record for being successful.
Agree, the Geissele is certainly as good and probably better than the stock hammer. Go to their site and see what triggers he has already mil-qual'd and in service with some of the high speed operators right now.
-
If you did that yourself...Bravo!!
-
If you're changing parts for 922r compliance you first need to to know what parts count. There are numerous threads with the list of them established by the BATFE. Most people with a non-adjustable stock change out: the mag tube, the follower inside it and the fore grip. IF you add a collapsible stock then you need to replace another foreign part with an american one. That's why the hammers are so popular. It's also why there isn't much interest in changing out other fire control group parts -- they don't matter for compliance purposes. Things like charging handles and bolt release button aren't parts per se in the 922r drill but add functionality in my view. I personally find a larger bolt release button/pad to be much more valuable that the charging handle but I have changed that too.
What's going on with Kip?
