So I took my m16 to range with my newly built 10.5" upper. It functioned with suppressor in full auto but without it only fired one shot on auto. I am guessing I need to adjust gas block? Do I turn it clockwise or counter? In other words do I need more or less gas? It has a hex head for adjustment. Midwest industries is manufacturer.

It says right at the bottom $20k

So I have my registered kit in my new host. Went down to pick up the ammo I ordered and the gunsmith said I better not run the flat bolt that came with the NPM host. He said it will break. Is this true and if so will I be safe to shoot tomorrow at the range? Thanks

Picked it up this morning. Never having a vintage machinegun or any other wwii gun before it's amazing. Thinking about where it has been and who held it is crazy. The dings in the stock and finish wear and patina. A thompson might be next...

Buying it tomorrow for $1450. Life is short and I've had this kit for 2 yrs.

I looked nothing under $1600. Plus I have shipping and the transfer fee from my ffl. M1 carbines have really gone nuts in a few years.

I've been to 4 gun shows and looked on gunbroker and local classifieds for a year. I have seen nothing under that except universal, iver johnson, and plainfields.

I finally found an m1 host for my registered kit close to me. It's a national postal meter with Winchester barrel from CEMP with box. Seller wants $1500.

I was thinking olympic. They made billet and forged. I had a Wilson E.A. cast reciever that I wanted anodized 20 yrs ago and no one would touch it. Had to have it moly coated.

Some are cast and some forged. Forged either 6061 or 1075.

Ive owned 3 and currently have one. Last one I used a full auto rated screw on can. It got filled with shit quick but I could switch it to my Norell 10/22. Val told me an integral is best. I would call E&L and ask if he knows someone who can build it. You"ll just need a mid sized (16") donor barrel.

You are right on reading material. But parts are very plentiful for the BM59 and some cheaper than M14. Sarco has complete kits.

Ready to pull trigger on new machinegun. What are pros and cons to Bm59.

Clip on or push pin

I just tried fired it in my warehouse and it borders on needing ear protection. No where near 9mm suppressed. Good think it's a hybrid suppressor.
