Keep in mind that I have been working on this is my spare time and weather permitting. Additionally it has not been a high priority since <a href="https://www.youtube.com/TexasNative00" target="_blank">I hunt with the 6.8SPC</a> and use the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/nictaylor00" target="_blank">5.56mm for competition</a> and coyote hunting. OK off topic crap done, now to the details in case you found this article desperately searching for a solution and got tired of wading through crap in the forums and youtube videos that NEVER seem to stay on topic.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>MY SETUP</b></p><p>I built this billet AR10 upper and lower receiver using DPMS parts kit, DPMS BCG and a Bear Creek Arsenal 16" 1-10 twist barrel with mid-length gas system. Before you look at my pictures and think "Hey! That looks like an Armalite patterned upper and lower, why are you using DPMS parts?" This matched upper and lower is made by <a href="https://twitter.com/aesweapons?lang=en" target="_blank">AES Weapons</a> and they designed it to look like an Armalite pattern but use the more common DPMS parts. SIDE NOTE: if you were confused about Armalite vs DPMS, I just made it a bit worse for you.</p><p>Since I am going to be shooting this primarily suppressed, I installed an adjustable gas block so I could reduce the amount of gas cycling the BCG. <i>Suppressors increase the gas pressure and can induce feeding and ejection problems, as well have potentially damage parts or premature wear on parts.</i></p><p><i></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixCF407iGtPe9P6hCH1c6_4TZZeTpSbwzRgnyOmvusHq-VKkG36SwWBNzrCuX_1RoFbqxURSvBvU0eK3Dr9-qSXvD6WpbLCW8mn15XInNSbgfTkiIULMXvGHZYysamU1fyxOzRswXmeZfU/s1106/AR_Carrier_Tilt_01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="1106" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixCF407iGtPe9P6hCH1c6_4TZZeTpSbwzRgnyOmvusHq-VKkG36SwWBNzrCuX_1RoFbqxURSvBvU0eK3Dr9-qSXvD6WpbLCW8mn15XInNSbgfTkiIULMXvGHZYysamU1fyxOzRswXmeZfU/w400-h225/AR_Carrier_Tilt_01.jpg" width="400" /></a></i></div><i><br /> </i><b>THE PROBLEM</b><p></p><p>So what I was running into was failures to feed/eject no matter what type of ammo I was using. Magazine type did not make a difference. When I removed the upper from the lower I could see where the black anodizing was gone and what appeared to be "dents" in and around the opening of the buffer tube. So I got my Dremel tool out and removed some of the material where this damage was occurring thinking there may be a design flaw in the lower. The issue still persisted... I even removed some material from the mouth of the buffer tube since it had gotten dented too. Still did not fix the problem.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIilmNhOYAAZmtPPvttI4MGwlS4bsWMzXiWt-y9DF-TFv0M5jhCwEU94IshmSXcTQhaGKziW6F0L3dAyf1dOFRPs0zw1snM8BcUR6X3jg8il2SjWhSWFixaKm_TvZJrFJDsLxlhCtPgVTR/s1106/AR_Carrier_Tilt_05.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="1106" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIilmNhOYAAZmtPPvttI4MGwlS4bsWMzXiWt-y9DF-TFv0M5jhCwEU94IshmSXcTQhaGKziW6F0L3dAyf1dOFRPs0zw1snM8BcUR6X3jg8il2SjWhSWFixaKm_TvZJrFJDsLxlhCtPgVTR/w400-h225/AR_Carrier_Tilt_05.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Even with the gas block turned down, I figured it must be getting too much gas and the BCG is moving way to fast backwards and not giving the spent brass casing time to "shrink back down to size" for a smooth extraction. <i>If the BCG starts rearward too fast before the gas pressure in the chamber has time to normalize, the brass casing is still swelled inside the chamber walls and can "stick" causing friction that impedes the extraction... inducing a failure. </i>The typical solution for this is a heavier buffer like an H2, H3 or tungsten. The idea is to add weight to the BCG and slow it down giving time for the chamber pressure to normalize. Another solution is an increase power or heavier recoil spring. I tried both buffer and spring and the problem still occurred.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-Uie3SRx2zcLTSh1ODhkH6X-fL2LCCB8STdoP_WssYI9HYJb6Yqh8Y0gabI7Y-4aKuI6_4roT2rhDVAee2mUzRAIEkxysKPpJ2dnr73jtmfUlaaZKZpnIb1UcNRFQUis1wTqo3sQ1RwR/s1106/AR_Carrier_Tilt_06.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="1106" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-Uie3SRx2zcLTSh1ODhkH6X-fL2LCCB8STdoP_WssYI9HYJb6Yqh8Y0gabI7Y-4aKuI6_4roT2rhDVAee2mUzRAIEkxysKPpJ2dnr73jtmfUlaaZKZpnIb1UcNRFQUis1wTqo3sQ1RwR/w400-h225/AR_Carrier_Tilt_06.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><b>THE SOLUTION</b></p><p>After searching all over for an example of the damage I was seeing... and not finding it, I had two options. Replace this bad ass super tight upper and lower set or try an "enhanced" buffer tube that I occasionally saw on the internet but the reviews and marketing hype never mentioned the damage I was seeing. I was prepared to dump another $50 for a stupid buffer tube if it fixed the problem but was happy to find the <a href="https://www.primaryarms.com/aero-precision-ar15-enhanced-carbine-buffer-tube" target="_blank">Aero Precision Enhanced Buffer Tube</a> cheaper for about $33 at Primary Arms. So I opened the wallet and spent more money. My next trip to the range was a success! I ran the same ammo that never ran 100% in this rifle and all of it cycled perfectly.</p><p><b>HOW THE ENHANCED BUFFER TUBE WORKS</b></p><p>So if you look at the pictures, the enhanced buffer tube has an extended portion at the bottom called "Carrier Support Extensions". This extension to the novice like myself looks like a nice feature to help keep that buffer detent and spring from shooting across the room. However the real feature of that extended portion is to allow the rear portion of the BCG to rest on it and act as a guide into the buffer tube.

Especially if you are cooking up your own loads that may not be to factory ammunition velocities or Power Factors. Sig specific recoil springs can be hard to find in the weights you want or not found at all. However, <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/1911-recoil-springs-p/1911-recoil-spring.htm" target="_blank">1911 recoil springs</a> can be found in a wide variety of weights. The drawback is that they do not fit the <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/category-s/235.htm" target="_blank">P320</a> with it's factory guide rod. The way to get around this is to replace the guide rod in your <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/category-s/235.htm" target="_blank">P320</a> with one that will accommodate <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/1911-recoil-springs-p/1911-recoil-spring.htm" target="_blank">1911 springs</a>. With a simple swap of the guide rod you can now use pretty much any full size <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/1911-recoil-springs-p/1911-recoil-spring.htm" target="_blank">1911 recoil spring</a> to tune your pistol for the function and feel you are looking for.

Meaning if you want to change the grip screws to one of the many fancy aftermarket styles available for the 1911 platform, you can't. But by replacing the Grip Screw Bushings on the gun you can then use your favorite after market grip screw to finish out customizing your 1911-22LR. With so many 1911 grip screw options available everyone can find a style that suites their taste for that custom look.<br />

The <a href="https://gunstreamer.com/@NicTaylor00">NicTaylor00</a> Grip Screw Bushings are specially made to adapt the metric thread pattern on the frame of the gun to the standard thread pattern of 1911 grip screws. By replacing the Bushings found under the grips, the options are endless.

It resides in my SHTF rifle ready to go into action. This trigger is truly a drop-in-trigger and only replaces the GI trigger allowing you to save on cost be using your hammer, disconnector and springs. The geometries of the engagement point is finished nicely and allows for a clean pull every time.<br />

The <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/ar15-skeletonized-trigger-p/ar-bm-trigger-spring.htm">Flat Straight Trigger</a> itself is designed to reduce the perceived pressure exerted on your trigger finger making you feel less pressure for each trigger pull.<br />

Adding <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/ar15-reduced-power-spring-set-p/ar15-reduced-spring-set.htm">Reduced Power Springs</a> will give the shooter even a lighter trigger pull. No too mention the trigger itself looks great in the gun.<br />

Here are the mag <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/sw-mp22c-16rd-mag-kit-p/200-16rd-0mpc.htm">kits for the M&P22 Compact pistol</a> to upgrade your factory 10 round magazines to 16 rounds. The kits are comprised of an aluminum basepad, new magazine spring and follower. By simply disassembling your factory 10 round mag and installing the hi-cap kit to the magazine tube, you can get 16 rounds in the mag. With 1 in the chamber, that is 17 rounds in the gun!<br />

For those of us with larger than normal hands, you may find the COMPACT grip a bit small. The added length of the basepad gives your paws more surface area to grip on.<br />

The M&P Compact 22LR pistol uses the little button the side of the factory magazine to engage the slide lock on the pistol. That means when the factory magazine is shot empty, the little button makes the slide stay open on the gun. When you install the 16+1 magazine kit you no longer use that little button so the slide lock on the pistol will not work. However, the NicTaylor "locking follower" is designed to engage the bolt face of the pistol when the mag is empty and thus lock the pistol open. This is similar to how the AR15 22LR conversion kits work. The down side to this is that the mag will not drop free since the slide is resting on the follower. You will have to either pull the slide back and manually engage the slide lock or just push the mag release and pull on the magazine at the same time. If you do not like the locking feature of the kit, you can choose the "non locking follower" that does not engage the bolt face. When the gun is empty, the slide will close and the mag can be dropped free.<br />

I've always been a believer of more bullets and after shooting many years of competitive pistol shooting where one extra round can mean the difference of 1st or 2nd place... it stuck with me. In competitive shooting like IPSC and USPSA, there are many companies that make basepads for added capacity for center-fire handguns like the 9mm, 38 Super, 40S&W and 45ACP. But no one really seems to care about the 22. For years I have been a big fan of the 22LR. I've even been accused of having a fetish of sort and to be honest, I couldn't tell you how many 22's I've owned over the years. So for those of us looking for more rounds in our 22's, you can find a potential answer to your quest at our website <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/">Taylor-Tactical-Supply</a><br />
<br />
But here in particular I wanted to give you a close up look at the <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/sw-mp22-18rd-mag-upgrade-p/mp22-18rd-upgrade.htm">18+1 MAGAZINE UPGRADE KIT</a> for the Smith & Wesson M&P22 pistol. This kit replaces the internal parts of the factory magazine regardless if it's a 10 or 12 round mag. The kit is comprised of a new <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/mp-follower-p/mp-follower.htm">Hi-Viz follower</a>, extra power magazine spring, aluminum basepad and hex wrench. You can find them <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/sw-mp-22lr-s/137.htm">HERE</a><br />
<br />

<br />
The kit installs in minutes and is reversible if you want to ever convert your magazines back to original configuration. Simply dismantle your factory magazine and bag up everything for storage but the magazine tube. Insert the NicTaylor follower into the magazine tube and then the extra power magazine spring taking note of the orientation of the spring. Compress the spring inside the magazine tube and slide on the anodized aluminum basepad. If for some reason the basepad does not slide on, it may be necessary to remove some of the metal on the little wings of the magazine tube. The magazine tube is stamped and formed sheet metal and the tolerances can vary from mag to mag. Make sure that the spring fits into the inside pocket of the basepad and use the included hex wrench to finger tighten the set screw on the bottom of the basepad.<br />

<br />
Draw backs on a kit like this is that it may not be legal in your area. Lots of states and municipalities do not allow magazines over a certain capacity. So make sure you know your areas laws before you install a magazine upgrade. Also we recommend using high velocity ammo for this kit. With so many rounds in the magazine, there is more pressure exerted on the bottom of the slide. This pressure is difficult to overcome as the slide attempts to cycle with the use of some low power ammo. Even with high velocity ammo, the slide may not lock back every time on the last shot fired.<br />
<br />
If you live in an area where 15 rounds is the limit for a magazine then you are still in luck. You can get the original 15+1 magazine upgrade <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/sw-mp22-15rd-mag-upgrade-p/mp22-15rd-upgrade.htm">HERE</a> And for those that do not have the full sized version of the M&P22, but rather have the COMPACT, you can get a 14+1 magazine upgrade <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/sw-mp-comp-14rd-mag-upgrade-p/mp-compact-mag-upgrade.htm">HERE</a><br />

The thumb paddles are easy enough to remove but it leaves an unsightly silver square pin in the side of your pistol. If you have removed the thumb safety from your own M&P-22 then you know what this looks like. Well here is the answer for this ugly void in the sides of your gun. This pin is an AR15 anti-walk pin with a set screw in each end to hold it in place. The antiwalk pin is slightly longer than the square pin you will be replacing but once the pistol is re-assembled any movement of the pin is not noticable. This pin gives your Smith & Wesson 22LR a cleaner look.<br />

If you are constantly making changes to your powder thrower this becomes a pain using your wrench every time you want to make an adjustment. To make this easier you can replace the hex head screw with one that allows you to quickly adjust the powder thrower without tools. This replacement screw has a nice sized plastic knob with laser etched graduation markings and can be found from <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/dillon-powder-bar-adj-screw-knob-p/dillon-pb.htm" target="_blank">Taylor-Tactical-Supply</a>.<br />

Each <a href="https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/dillon-powder-bar-adj-screw-knob-p/dillon-pb.htm">finger adjustment screw</a> comes with a slightly thicker washer than what came with your Dillon Powder Thrower. When installing the screw you can use the existing washer and wave washer (tension washer), or use the new one to get the knob tension to your liking. In some cases you may need to use both.<br />

The screw will work on both the large and small powder bar found in your Dillon powder throwers for the 1050, 650, 550, SDB and 900 reloading press.

All serious gun owners avoid calculating the total investment spent on their guns and accessories and will never tell their spouse what the actual value is. On my last three pickup trucks I've used tonneau covers to secure my "items". So on my latest truck, when it was time to select a bed cover I went with the Diamond Back cover over the traditional fiberglass covers I previously used.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
What immediately attracted me to the <a href="https://mbsy.co/mBfV3" target="_blank">Diamondback</a> cover was the rugged look and the ability to support a claimed 400 pounds. This is a great feature for me, since we usually stand on the side beds of our trucks or tonneau covers to fill deer <a href="https://youtu.be/xz5GXKcXz48" target="_blank">feeders on our Texas deer leases</a>. Standing on a color matched tonneau cover is not the best thing to do since the paint can be easily scratched and the weight of a full grown adult plus 50 pound bags of corn can damage the cover.<br />
<br />
Constructed of diamond plate aluminum, the <a href="https://mbsy.co/mBfV3" target="_blank">Diamondback</a> can be purchased in either a glossy bare metal finish or a black spray on finish. I selected the black finish since it goes better with my grey 2017 Toyota Tundra. I was assured by the sales person on the phone that the spray on coating would hold up over time. The coating is claimed to be the highest quality spray on coating you can get when it comes to spray in bed liner material. I've seen so many truck beds with chalky bed liners degrading in the elements that I can only hope <a href="https://mbsy.co/mBfV3" target="_blank">Diamondback</a> is correct with this claim. Only time will tell, and having mine for year now at the time I write this review, it shows no sign of degradation.<br />
<br />
I selected the <a href="https://mbsy.co/mBfV3" target="_blank">DiamondBackSE</a> model due to the door panel configuration. Other models like the 270 and 180 are geared more for tool boxes and I would mainly be hauling guns and ammo. I passed on the HD (Heavy Duty) version of the cover since I would not need the extra strength and the additional $400 up-charge for the HD.<br />
<br />
Being a dude, I still have a collection of tools that are used on a semi-regular basis but not for my occupation where half my truck is tools. So I ordered the <a href="https://diamondbackcovers.com/collections/accessories/products/side-boxes" target="_blank">SIDE BOXES</a> tool boxes for my bed cover. The side boxes are small and mount up above the bed so they do not take up any floor space. For me they provide the perfect amount of space for my tools and tie down straps.<br />

The cover went on very easy for one person. The <a href="https://mbsy.co/mBfV3" target="_blank">SE model</a> is in 3 panels, two doors and one mid section that clamps to the bed rail of your truck. The mid section is the only section that requires tools to install and remove. The door panels come off easy and weigh around 40 pounds each. Having the ability to remove the door panels is a huge plus for me. When you need to haul something tall, they can be removed by just one person. My last fiber glass cover required another adult to help and then the problem of storing the huge cover without scratching the paint was a problem.<br />
<br />
Since the mid section is relatively permanent, I figured it would be a great place to mount some lighting. These bed covers are really dark on those early morning hunts when you are trying to gear up before the sun rises. I found some <a href="https://amzn.to/2GsFPUC" target="_blank">water proof LED</a> light strips on the web that run on 12VDC and figured they would be perfect for the 12V electrical system on the truck. Since my Tundra had bed lights already (I wanted more), it was easy to tap into the bed lighting wiring so the new <a href="https://amzn.to/2GsFPUC" target="_blank">LED strip lights</a> come on at the same time. Click <a href="https://amzn.to/2GsFPUC" target="_blank">HERE</a> to see a link to the LED lighting I used. <br />
<br />
THE CONS... <br />
I installed the cover in the summer sun and had to use gloves to handle the metal panels. The silver under side was impossible to touch with bare hands while adjusting the fit. Once closed up, the summer heat and sun heated the contents of the bed as if it was in the cab of the truck. As mentioned my last bed covers were fiber glass with carpet on the underside. Over heating was not an issue with that design. <br />
<br />
WATER TIGHT?<br />
My other issue was the middle panel on the <a href="https://mbsy.co/mBfV3" target="_blank">SE model</a> that clamps to the side of your bed. I must have over tightened the bolts since the two folding doors sit up at an angle and prove difficult to close and get a good water tight seal (see pics). This must be a common theme since I see pretty much every other <a href="https://mbsy.co/mBfV3" target="_blank">Diamond Back cover</a> on the road looking the same.<br />

<br />
<br />
LOCKING RODS<br />
The locking rods have a plastic sleeve on the ends where they engage the under side of the truck bed. In order to get the door panels to seal nicely, you have to get the end of these rods snug against the bed rail. In my case the rubber sleeve slides off the rod just enough to not allow the door panel to open. In some cases the rubber sleeve slide all the way off and would not stay on (see pics). Getting these rods just right can be difficult. Once they are adjusted you are good to go. BUT once you put some weight on the bed cover, the door panels tend to flex some and cause the adjustment of those rods to change. Not a super big deal since you can open the door panel and grab the corners and flex the panel back with your hands.<br />

<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
I tend to focus on the negative aspects as I see it since you assume the product marketing fanfare is all true. With that said, I can stand on this cover with confidence knowing that I will not jack anything up. Locking up my gear (mostly guns) in such a secure cover gives me piece of mind, knowing my weapons and gear are secure when I stop at that road side cafe after a day at the range.<br />
<br />
Out of 5 stars I give it 4 just because of the negatives I mentioned above. And as long as you can live with the negative points I mentioned, I think you will not be disappointed. I would recommended this cover to others with my main complaint being the heating of the contents. So far no ammo has cooked off in the Texas heat.<br />

This video only speaks to the operation and installation of the right handed version of the slidefire stock for the AR15 and is purely educational. In the video you can expect an honest review hitting on both the positive and negative aspects of the device along with simple operating instructions.</div><br />

<br />
In my opinion, the stock is a fun device to have in your collection. However it can burn through ammunition quickly and drive up your shooting budget. Operating the stock takes some practice which translates into even more rounds sent down range and less money in your pocket. When shooting, you need to focus on the forward pressure on the upper. Too much or too little will cause the rifle to stop firing. The pressure on the upper in conjunction with attempting to keep your sights on target create more things to think about that when shooting semi auto rifles and carbines. In-fact I find shooting the bump stock more cumbersome than shooting a full blown Class 3 Machine gun. But with the price tag associated with a civilian buying a legal fully automatic gun, the bumpsfire stock is as close as you can get for a great price.<br />

I know that does not sound like much and it is not, but if you can shave off a few ounces here and there on your AR15, the end result will be a lighter more maneuverable rifle. In my particular case I was wanting a light weight hunting rifle in the Modern Sporting Rifle configuration (MSR). So on my shopping list of parts for the 300 blackout build I went with the magnesium lower over the polymer lower. The polymer lowers just feel cheap to me even though they are lighter. The only issue I had assembling my MAG lower to the upper was the need to remove some material on the lower near the rear take down pin. This was not painful but it is nerve racking when you file on your gun. However, the end result was a perfectly fitted upper and lower with no movement between the two. Below is some comparison photos of the magnesium lower compared to a polymer, forged aluminum and billet aluminum receivers. The differences are subtle, but differences none the less. The most striking is the extra long trigger and hammer pins that came with the lower. I hear that the lower needed to be beefed up some at the pin holes. The end result is a hump where the pins pass through.<br />

The brass case broke in half leaving the front part of the case in the chamber while extracting the rear portion. This problem is due to me using re-manufactured ammunition. All the brass was submitted by me for reloading. I can't say if all the brass I sent in was all mine because I pick up range brass all the time. So I do not blame the reloading company for this. However, for my multigun matches I now use only new manufactured ammo. Below is a photo of the brass as well as another cracked round I found before I shot it.<br />

Also included in the video is high speed footage of AR-15 doing Bolt Bounce. This is a condition I created on my own by removing the weights inside the carbine buffer. I personally can not feel the bounce but my <a href="http://amzn.to/2bDw9aP">Casio EX-F1</a> picked up the movement. Additionally I show how the bolt should react upon closing by using a non altered buffer. By comparing the two slow-motion video clips you get a pretty good idea what bolt bounce is.<br />

A similar thing happened to me while I was shooting from the open door of a helicopter. Fortunately the next round had lodged into the front part of the case making it easy to remove with only my knife. I was able to clear the malfunction and get back on the gun without having the helicopter land.<br />

Not going to the Shot Shot makes it tough for me to search out new and interesting guns. So when a fellow youtuber told me about the Beretta M9-22 pistol, I had to take a look. Within 10 minutes of reading the specs and seeing probably the only video online of the gun (a useless video of the creator rambling and providing no real true info on the gun), I bought one from Buds GunShop. You can see my more in-depth video on this gun <a href="http://nictaylor00.blogspot.com/2016/07/beretta-m9-22-10rd-mag-conversion-into.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> (A MUCH BETTER VIDEO I MUST SAY) as well as some detailed pictures of this rimfire and the center fire version below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When my M9-22 arrived I was immediately impressed. It felt exactly like my Beretta 92f 9mm pistol that I use in Production Division to shoot USPSA matches. If you have not seen USPSA or IPSC style shooting you can see some heart pounding <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7URpmb1JjE6oAThwa21NTpSjfYkNcIiq" target="_blank">first person shooter video on my YouTube channel</a>. Anyway, right out of the box, the pistol felt the same in my hands with the exception of a few missing ounces in weight. Additionally the trigger feels the same with no changes in geometry. The decocker works just like any other but is a bit harder to disengage. It's unclear if it is just stiff due to the newness of the parts, or if its plastic construction has more friction than the metal parts found on the 9mm version. Either way, the controls work exactly the same. The take down lever works in the same manner as the 92 series pistols separating the slide, barrel and recoil spring from the frame. Different from my 92f 9mm model is a captured recoil spring with a plastic guide rod on the M9_22.<br />
<br />
The gun itself is not made by Beretta, but made by Umarex who makes many other 22 clones, like the <a href="http://nictaylor00.blogspot.com/2013/11/colt-walther-umarex-1911-22lr-basepad.html" target="_blank">Colt 1911-22</a> and <a href="http://nictaylor00.blogspot.com/2014/05/22lr-pistol-magazine-modifications-for.html" target="_blank">Smith & Wesson M&P22</a> pistols. My gun came with one 15 round magazine. I deem this a High Capacity mag since most .22lr pistols have only 10 round factory mags and require special <a href="http://www.22lrupgrades.com/" target="_blank">UPGRADE KITS</a> to get additional rounds in the magazine. At the time of this article, finding replacement magazines for the M9 22lr pistol might be challenging but we found some <a href="http://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/magazines-s/130.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
Also a very note worthy aspect of the mags, or rather how the magazines fit into the frame of the pistol... If you shoot many rim-fire pistols you know how delicate the insertion of these magazines can be when putting one in the gun. The narrowness of the magazine in conjunction with the opening in the butt of the pistol make inserting a mag less fluid than with a center-fire pistol. The M9-22 does not have this problem. The 92 series pistols have a rather large pistol grip to accommodate the double stack magazines and this 22 version is nothing different. However, Beretta has made what I like to call an internal magwell inside the pistol grip. When looking at the opening for the magazine, it almost looks as if a full sized double stack magazine might fit but the opening narrows down quickly like funnel. This funnel or internal magwell allows this shooter to insert a fresh magazine much more quicker than traditional 22 pistols.<br />

<br />
Sights on the M9-22 are just like what came on my 92f way back in 1989, a plain and simple 3-dot system. Just like my 9mm version, my new 22 caliber M9 would not hit for me. Mine shoots low and even after putting on a shorter front sight (the gun came with two front sights of different heights), mine still shot low. I guess my only option is to fit it with an adjustable rear sight or file down one of the plastic front sights.<br />

<br />
At a quick glance the internals look very similar to the centerfire models but I'm sure they are not interchangeable. You can not put a 22 slide on a 9mm frame and vice versa. The barrels can not be switched between guns and the trigger can not be swapped. I'm sure that was done for safety reasons but I find the similarities between the 22 version and 9mm version the coolest. Even though the parts are not the same, it's clear that Umarex closely followed the 92 series design.<br />

Another cool feature of the M9 22lr is that the grip panels are interchangeable with centerfire panels. This is a good thing since my 22 pistol came with what I can only assume was lesser quality plastic grips. Yes they were branded with the Beretta logo and all but the trigger bar spring on my gun that sits behind the right hand grip pushed my grip out and away from the gun. This created an unsightly gap that was quickly fixed by putting on an old pair of plastic grips I had sitting around. It should be noted if you plan to "bling up" your M9 with some after market grip screws, they appear to NOT be standard to the normal 92 series pistols. So you may need to find (if you can) some screws that are specifically for the 22 version.<br />

<br />
My pistol shot everything I put it in from inexpensive bulk ammo to the high dollar CCI Mini Mags. Only failures was a couple of misfires with the bulk ammo where the round failed to go off when the hammer fell. This is easily fixed with the pull of the double action trigger with the hammer down on the dud. The second pull of the trigger set off the rounds. Having the ability to pull the trigger again on a dud is a great big positive for me since I love to shoot the least expensive ammo I can find. My only regret is that my gun does not have a threaded barrel for a suppressor. Hopefully that will be an upgrade offered in the near future. Aside from my love of the Beretta 92, this is one of the best 22 pistols I have run across in a very long time.<br />

Just like low testosterone there is a cure for this flaccid condition except less embarrassing. The solution is a simple low cost <a href="http://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/Mosin-Nagant-Trigger-Return-Spring-Kit-p/mosin-trigger-spring.htm">TRIGGER RETURN SPRING KIT</a> installed on the trigger pin. You can get your trigger return spring kit <a href="http://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/Mosin-Nagant-Trigger-Return-Spring-Kit-p/mosin-trigger-spring.htm">HERE</a>. The procedure is easy assuming you can field strip / dis-assemble your rifle and put it back together. Below is an instructional video showing the procedure and noting some of the pitfalls you may encounter (if any). Additionally, detailed photos with step by step instructions can be found here on this page. Installation of the spring kit should in no way affect the weight of your trigger pull. It's a simple non permanent solution to an annoying problem that owners of this fantastic surplus rifle have to deal with.<br />
<br />
STEP 1: With rifle unloaded, remove the bolt by opening the bolt and pull to rear with trigger depressed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQC8aVpSoMIqAvW_t9rV1HUC0hc7s1bfPYkWvcHst07Y_NEY9YQr5PcrVfs1-vZ-qxy_-5kVJegDoRq1Ie2wJtzfR9XkdAG-LYP9wXA8hKNpzc6zNCs-Od5aGlq-XvZJJHU8i-X6Cb9HcE/s1600/Step+01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQC8aVpSoMIqAvW_t9rV1HUC0hc7s1bfPYkWvcHst07Y_NEY9YQr5PcrVfs1-vZ-qxy_-5kVJegDoRq1Ie2wJtzfR9XkdAG-LYP9wXA8hKNpzc6zNCs-Od5aGlq-XvZJJHU8i-X6Cb9HcE/s640/Step+01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
STEP 2: If present, remove cleaning rod by unscrewing.<br />

However, attention to detail is paramount. A tiny mistake could cause damage to your weapon, injury to the shooter or even death. However, attention to detail can negate these issues. However, the more subtle things may not cause injury or death. More likely you will just run into failure to chamber or fire issues with you home grown ammo.<br />
<br />
In this video I show one of the pitfalls of NOT properly resizing the shoulder on a rifle case. Over time my resizing die had backed out of position with the lock nut coming loose. That tiny bit of movement caused the case to not get properly sized and caused the shoulder to not line up with the chamber. The product was a finished round that would not fully chamber and would not fire. Not too mention I had to "motar" the AR15 rifle to get the round out of the chamber.<br />
<br />
Now I had a handful of ammo that was useless. The solution was to pull each bullet, pour the powder out and resize the brass. For pulling the bullet I used a collet puller seen in the video. They are inexpensive and simple to use. It's just a time consuming process.<br />
<br />
Now when I start a big reload session of rifle ammo, I take the resized case and test it in the rifle I will be using. If the resized brass case does not fit, something is wrong with my sizing die and I make adjustments. This tiny little step will save you hours of suffering.<br />
<br />
As always, I'm glad to share and allow you the opportunity to learn from my mistakes.<br />

This pistol is a Umarex replica of the 92FS / M9 handguns found in the US Military. I shoot a <a href="https://youtu.be/YLjk2azu_Rc?list=PL7URpmb1JjE6oAThwa21NTpSjfYkNcIiq">92F in 9mm</a> on a pretty regular basis and when this pistol came out I was very excited to get may hands on one. To start with the gun actually feels and functions like the <a href="https://youtu.be/pIEeR74iLqk">92 series</a> center-fire pistol I use. All the controls are the same as well as field stripping procedures. This is a no brainer for training with low cost 22 rim-fire and seamless transition back to my <a href="https://youtu.be/pIEeR74iLqk">9mm version</a>. Below is a detailed review on the M9-22.<br />
<br />

<br />
In addition, the <a href="https://youtu.be/Q0jgZWWOtsE">M9-22</a> comes with <a href="https://youtu.be/9aLDoYBoRuA">15 round magazines!</a> This is very rare for a 22 caliber pistol to come from the factory with more than 10 round mags. There are many after market kits you can buy for various 22 pistols that allow additional rounds in your 22 magazines (<a href="http://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com">YOU CAN FIND THEM HERE</a>), but it is a nice change of pace to see the manufacturer provide these direct from the factory. However, in some states 15 bullets in your gun is more than the law will allow. So Beretta offers 10 round magazines for these oppressed states. If you have some Beretta factory 10 round magazines, chances are the basepad is glued together and not allowing disassembly. This can be a problem for cleaning dirty magazines. The steps below will help guide you to overcome the glue and disassemble your magazine for cleaning. <br />

The base of it is milled out to give you clearance between the comp and the barrel bushing but still sit close enough to the muzzle of the gun to give that seamless look. The exit hole on the comp is a 9mm diameter so if you have a speed type holster that uses a muzzle plug to help retain the pistol, it should work in your holster giving you the ability to use your IPSC gear with your 22.<br />

All you need is a punch or hex wrench small enough in diameter to push out the hammer pin located in your AR15 lower. Once you push out the hammer pin, the hammer and spring can be removed from the lower. Take note of the orientation of the spring as it sits on the hammer so that you can install the new spring in the same position.<br />
<br />
Get it <a href="http://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/AR15-Parts-s/127.htm">HERE</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu1oGBW7oSfKyC1orUyB_sV-l1xNyzOPQryjE-0EQE2JUNKcOKaq8JhqiU8_q_31qq4dvC50A__wSmJ2TabU6ygrlePwV-SWzHS7uDQSnsWzt2V_pwboS6gwjrKcDCUVquFRJEQB7DpW7R/s1600/AR15-TRIGGER-KIT-7T.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="JP Enterprises, JPRifles, reduced, hammer, spring, power, trigger job, lighten, clean, gunsmith, DIY, simple, easy, inexpensive" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu1oGBW7oSfKyC1orUyB_sV-l1xNyzOPQryjE-0EQE2JUNKcOKaq8JhqiU8_q_31qq4dvC50A__wSmJ2TabU6ygrlePwV-SWzHS7uDQSnsWzt2V_pwboS6gwjrKcDCUVquFRJEQB7DpW7R/s1600/AR15-TRIGGER-KIT-7T.jpg" title="NicTaylor00 Reduced Power Hammer Spring Installed in Mil-Spec Hammer"></a></div><br />
Simply pull the spring off the hammer by grabbing one of the coils and pull. Install the <a href="http://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/AR15-Reduced-Hammer-Spring-p/ar15-hammer-spring.htm">Reduced Power Spring</a> onto the hammer and reinsert the hammer/spring into the lower while pushing the hammer pin back into place through the lower. Be careful not to force the pin as you attempt to push it through the lower. Remember the lower is aluminum and the pin is steel, so forcibly hitting the pin or pushing harshly it may cause damage to your lower if all is not lined up perfectly.<br />

In our testing we were able to reduce the trigger pull weight by 3 pounds. Our stock trigger was measuring 7 pounds with the mil-spec hammer spring found in all Lower Parts Kits (LPK). Once we installed the <a href="http://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/AR15-Reduced-Hammer-Spring-p/ar15-hammer-spring.htm">Reduced Power Spring</a>, our same trigger measured 4 pounds of pull. This is a considerable amount of reduction for such a low price. Most match triggers run well over $100. Granted, this spring does nothing to reduce the creep or "grittiness" of your stock trigger like the drop-in match triggers do, but you can come close with the additional <a href="http://www.taylor-tactical-supply.com/AR15-Grip-Screw-Trigger-Adjustment-p/ar15-screw.htm">Adjustment Grip Screw Kit</a>.

For me and self filming my shooting activities, I find that form factor plays a major roll when it comes to choosing one. That means the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B010H05JMQ">GoPro</a> is not my 1st choice for an action camera to capture those First Person Shooting Videos or FPS. I prefer the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B009CN8X3C">Contour</a> brand cameras because of the form factor and mounting options. They allow a more realistic view that better conveys the shooting experience as if the viewer was actually pulling the trigger. I'm now experimenting with the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B00HNJWTDW">Sony Action Cameras</a> and I find them to be a big plus for three important features. One, the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B00HNJWTDW">Sony</a> has a similar form factor of the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B009CN8X3C">Contour</a> line of cameras. Two, the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B00HNJWTDW">Sony</a> has image stabilization in it's action cameras. This is HUGE! At the time of this review, no other action camera maker has this feature that I am aware of. Three, the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B00HNJWTDW">Sony</a> has OUTSTANDING audio. ALL action cameras suffer when it comes to their microphone and interface circuitry. Over the years I've noticed that the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B00HNJWTDW">Sony</a> camcorders seem to have a better microphone system compared to others I've used. This is also true for their action cameras.<br />
<br />
If you are a <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B010H05JMQ">GoPro</a> junkie and will use nothing other than the square box... then you need to look at the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B00RFNWJYK">W8 Action Camera</a>. It is a Chinese knockoff of the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B010H05JMQ">GoPro</a> but at literally a fraction of the cost. And the cool thing, it uses the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B010H05JMQ">GoPro</a> mounting systems. I found my W8 to have very good video quality but bad audio (just like <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B010H05JMQ">GoPro</a> and others). The <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/nisrrrere-20/detail/B00RFNWJYK">W8</a> also can be controlled with your smart phone via WiFi and a free downloaded App.<br />

Most of you know it shoots a 50 caliber bullet but have most likely never held or even seen the gun and its ammo. The first video below is shot with a high speed camera with a relatively new shooter attempting to shoot a bowling pin with the 325 grain projectile. Note the recoil or flip of the gun and the huge fireball. Keep in mind this video was shot in daylight. The flash from the muzzle is blinding in the dark.<br />
<br />

<br />
Want to see more details and a closer look at the Desert Eagle 50 AE? This video below is a review of the gun. Be sure and watch to the end for some footage of other new shooters taking shots with it and a Freedom Arms revolver chambered in the same 50AE cartridge. That revolver is not for a new shooter. The recoil is unbearable.<br />
<br />

<br />
In the videos below I will show you the process of reloading this monster 50AE (50 Action Express) round. Even though the video(s) is caliber specific, the information on the process is pretty much universal for reloading other calibers. If you are curious about reloading or looking for information on the subject, these two videos are for you.<br />

Be sure to see what really fixed the scale near the end of this post.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JtQGELYQtLg" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
Here is RCBS's response via email:<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #38761d;">SOMETIMES THIS IS DUE TO THE CONNECTION ON BOTH UNITS. DISASSSEMBLY BOTH UNIT AND APPLY ELECTRICAL GEL ON BOTH CONNECTION PORT. REASSEMBLY AND PRESS FIRM ON BOTH UNITS WHEN ATTACHING THIS WILL GIVE A GOOD CONNECTION WHEN COMMUNICATING. USE A LAUNDRY STATIC REMOVER SHEET TO REMOVE ANY STATIC ON THE BLACK PLATEN. RECALIBRATE YOUR SCALE AND LET US KNOW.</span><br />
<br />
So I gave the reccomendation a try. Here are the results:<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Q4LkyEleDg" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
In short the procedure RCBS recommended did not fix the issue. Below is the email exchange with the RCBS tech. I realize that my particular unit is clearly out of warranty and I do not have any illusions that RCBS would repair of fix my unit for free. However I thought it odd that RCBS would not "middle" any repair work since they have the most knowledge of the product and connections to the manufacturer. But instead they pointed me in the direction of a "calibration" equipment company when calibration is clearly not the issue.<br />
<br />
If anyone knows how to fix the problem seen in the video, please let me know.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Nic:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">I finally got to try out the suggestion and the problem still exists. Can you assign an RMA number so I can send this scale and powder dispenser in for repair? I have the original box to ship it in.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">RCBS:</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THIS UNIT?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Nic:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">it's been years. 5 maybe???</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">RCBS:</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">I AM SORRY WE DO NOT REPAIR THESE CHARGEMASTER UNIT. WE PURCHASE THESE CHARGEMASTER 1500 COMBO SCALE AND OUR VENDOR DOES NOT ALLOW US TO REPAIR. PLEASE TRY TO CONTACT MICRO PRECISION CALIBRATION INC 1-530-268-1860 AND SEE IF THEY CAN REPAIR THE UNIT. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Nic:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Hold on. You sell your branded RCBS unit, but do not repair or replace? But rather direct issues back to the OEM/ODM?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">What is the website and address of the OEM/ODM?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">RCBS:</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">THESE UNITS ARE PURCHASE OVER SEAS BY EXCELL.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Nic:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">I did contact RCBS right? Not some other vendor? I find it odd that the company that brands and sells its product with it's company name on the product would point to the vender for issues and not the company that sells and markets their own products.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: blue;">Seems kinda like buying a Ford and having an issue with the Ford and then Ford referring the customer to the plant that assembled the Ford.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: blue;">Here's the site associated with that phone number</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: blue;">http://www.microprecision.com/calibration-contact/</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: blue;">I do not think calibration is the issue. I will dispose of the unit and go with another brand. Thanks for your time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">RCBS:</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">I AM SORRY TO LOSE ANOTHER CUSTOMER BUT THIS IS JUST WHAT THE POLICY ON THESE CHARGEMASTER UNITS. THERE IS 1 YR WARRANTY FROM FACTORY FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. MICRO PRECISION CALIBRATION IS JUST ONE OF ANOTHER COMPANY THAT I KNOW THAT MIGHT HELP. THIS MICRO PRECISION CALIBRATION DOES NOT ASSOCAITE WITH US RCBS. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Nic:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Yeah, I paid the extra for RCBS when shopping for a scale because there are plenty of other brands cheaper for the same features. However, I've had good luck with RCBS until now. But it looks like the extra expense was not worth the frustration in this case. For what it is worth, I've had this issue for years with this scale. I finally got tired of messing with it.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u>THE FIX</u></b><br />
After taking a few says to think on it, I borrowed another Chargemaster 1500 from a friend and swapped the parts of the unit and was able to isolate the defective part. Turns out my powder dispenser unit was causing the problem. I voided the warranty (already out of date) and took it apart with 4 simple screws. Take care not to damage the ribbon cable inside when you unplug it from the small PCB inside the dispenser.<br />

After inspecting the little PCB I found that the connector that connects the dispenser to the scale had "cold solder joints". Cold solder joints are solder joints that did not cool or flow properly when the soldering process took place at the factory. This is a manufacturing defect and should have been caught by the QA process at the time of manufacture.<br />

This is a relatively simple fix assuming you have a soldering iron. Just reflow the solder joints on the BERG connector so that the frosty looking solder joint is nice and shinny. Adding solder to the joint and using flux will make it easier to reflow. The video below shows a sample of the soldering process and speaks more in depth of the error.<br />

This is an experiment I've been wanting to do for a long time. So having a Monday off for MLK Day, I headed to the ranch with no kids to distract me.<br />
<br />
I was curious about the effects of a compensator or muzzle brake if you could eliminate the human factor. So I strapped my rifle to a work bench stand and used the Hands Off Trigger Release to actuate the trigger. Capturing the results of each muzzle brake with the video camera, I was able to see the linear effectiveness of each brake.<br />
<br />
My conclusion is fairly obvious... any compensator is better than nothing at all. However, every muzzle brake I tested but one (the Dragon's Head from Surplus Ammo) performed the same as far as the X & Y movement of the rifle is concerned. This result was most unexpected. I was expecting to see much more of a difference between the muzzle brakes. I suspect with all the various models on the market and all linear movement being equal, there has to be a difference in how they perform on the Z axis. I have a few ideas how to test for this so I may give that a try.<br />
