How hard is it to add the safety on an M&P? Mine's a 5" Performance Center. Did you do it yourself? I want one, but doing this is a bit out of my comfort zone...

How well do you like that 9pc? The 1st 9 I bought was the 1.0 4.25" and rather than buying a complete firearm I bought a complete 5" upper/slide. The matte finish barrel is from Apex that required fitting. Tighter fit than factory barrels with a longer lock time. The Timney on the 4" 10mil (previously posted) is 2.5-3# lighter pull than factory (2# 14oz-3# pull).

I like it for the simple reason of it's similar to the 1911 manual of arms.
The other is because manual safeties are not understood by most thugs, there's quite a few true stories of people being saved by them when they lost their handguns during a struggle and the aggressor couldn't make the gun work because of the safety.

The second of my NEF Handi-rifles. This one's .22-250

 

[USMC6094]

My first NEF, replaced the OEM stock with the one you see here, as well as the scope base. I added the rings and the glass. This one's .45-70.

A true No Name 98 Mauser I picked up on a whim. There's 1 military part on it, the bolt shroud, the rest is who knows. It needs a new recoil pad, and I updated the Weaver bases, got some Weaver rings, and an inexpensive 6 power scope.
It's a slow project, as I have had no luck in the search for a replacement recoil pad.

This is a high 900 thousand Springfield 1903 I found at the same shop as the previous Mauser.
This rifle was sporterised by a smith that knew his business. The bolt is original to the receiver and it sports a Lyman receiver sight patent dated 1911.

And my Swede, found this at another local shop. I took some metal off the bolt handle to clear the power ring of the Leupold scope I mounted in place of the one it came with.

I'd rather have a thumb safety delete kit. Not that I have an issue with function, just a preference.

That's what I'm going to do with my S&W 4.6" 10mm that came with the safety. My S&W 4" and PC 5.6" 10mms are without safeties which I prefer.

I have two sets of plugs........

It's appreciated, but who knows when I'll get around to it. I'll just get them when I'm motivated enough to move on that and other projects I'm constantly thinking about doing . Currently I have it in a quick access safe, by the bed, with the safety off. But thanks USMC6094

When you get to it, please do check with me, if I haven't added it yet, I'd offer you market value for your parts if you're interested.

I LOVE being the Oddball at the range, this covers everything from using an M1 Carbine in three gun matches, to a pseudo 5.56mm Colt Commando pistol in CQB matches.

Unfortunately this oddity won't be used in an action shooting event, but I'm sure I won't see another like it locally.

This started out as a BSA manufactured Cadet rifle in .310 Cadet, and made for military schools in Australia.

Mine has been rechambered in .357 Magnum, the barrel slightly shortened, and the rear sight replaced with a scope base.

Since I acquired it, I replaced the 1 power scope it came with, with a 1950s Weaver K4.

It's long overdue a range trip, but here it is.

I recently found a lonely P239 on the 'used' shelf at the LGS, in quite good condition. Made in 2008, frame made in Germany, assembled in NH. In the original box with 3 mags for under $500. I've wanted one of these for a long time, and always loved the cool, classic looks of the P239.

It needed a few upgrades - the OEM hammer strut/seat is notorious for being a complete PITA to do mainspring swaps with, so I upgraded all that with a new strut/seat/spring from Matrix Precision, which now makes swaps a breeze and makes it compatible with mainsprings for the other more readily available P-series models. Stock rubber grips got swapped out for Hogue checkered aluminums and Hogue grip screws. Probably going to leave the sights alone for now.

Hellion getting fitted with its mostly final configuration. This little guy shoots really well, suppressed and not!

After waiting 2 weeks the Taurus 627 Tracker in 357 Mag finally came in. It has a 6.5 inch barrel and a 7 round cylinder. I'm happy it came with the better Taurus grip. I can't wait to try this at the shooting range tomorrow.
