I thought you tightened until it stripped and then backed off a quarter turn?

I still want this, but I'm not paying that much for a T-shirt even with the discount.

Tight is tight, and too tight's broken.

Like adjusting rocker arms. A 1/4 turn past clatter.

Awesome.
I found my 14 lb box of AK mags after the last time the surplus mags were discussed here.
I'm good for now!

It works out cheaper from Battlehawk armory even though it is a couple more cents a round. If you order over $200 shipping is included and they don*t charge you tax.

450 rounds from PSA after all is said and done is $264

450 rounds from BA after all is said and done is $239

So about $25 less

He bought 100 rounds and filled 2 50 round magsmags, and had 2 failures per mag. All the fn ammo he's fed has run without issue.

Hopefully your friend had a bad batch. I*ve shot a lot of Fiocchi in other calibers without a problem. Can*t say for 5.7 yet.

Their 7.62x39 is terrible from what I've heard. The 5.7 might have had problems in the p90 due to it's wonky design, so there is some hope that it would work better in a regular pistol.
