Welcome to the forum. OK, mag in, no ammo, pull back on the charging handle, release and then pull the trigger? With an empty mag inserted it should have locked the bolt in the open position, and it will not fire in that condition. The bolt has to be forward or in battery to fire.

Yeah, I found a guy that made me a brake that fits the Colt directly. I'll have to find the thread.

From another thread...

HoKay! ;D

I just bought a Troy 11" TRX for my AR, and I tried to install it on my Colt M4 Ops first, but it doesn't fit the Colt/Umarex threads. So I am assuming at this point that no AR hand guard will fit the Colt/Umarex. I suppose that some enterprising person could fabricate a thread adapter that would do the job.....If you come up with something please let us know!

All that being said, I would not want to get rid of my Colt M4. After the trigger job and other improvements, it just shoots too well. ;D

A range trip sounds like fun, but that would be a long trip. FYI, I am a satisfied M-4 owner, got one about 3 years ago. My observation has to do with the profligate use of zinc alloys, or Zamak in it's construction. Also with the extensive dis-assembly required to perform a thorough cleaning. Walther's procedure is inadequate in my opinion. I also have noticed a drop in Walther's quality when I look at my PK380 - while I really like the gun, and I use it for EDC, it doesn't really seem like normal German engineering. Just my 2 Pfennigs worth.

The 416 looks nice, I would like to handle one. Thanks for posting the catalogs cdnite! I understand what MG is saying - these guns may be a bit too close to air soft quality......but they sure do look like fun!

I read about it HERE. Too bad they can't sue the libs that enacted it. Someone should HAVE to pay for it. Grrrrrr.

Hello Dusty, and Welcome.

Cool, how about a picture? :thumb:

Funny, but true. I wonder if Drew could sell the idea to Brownells?....... My STI Spartan has been shipped. It's in the mail.

We are lucky there is not a Brownells shopping channel on cable....

They are made in Ohio, and while not expensive, are supposed to be good guns. Here is a pic of one that was for sale on another forum.

An STI Spartan III in 9mm. ;D

Heh heh. The kids in Toledo call him a "half-rican".

Welcome Oz!

Outstanding job. :thumb: How does it shoot? & thx for the pics!!

Very nice. I would like to see some pics of the inside.... (hint hint) :thumb:

OK, Good luck Doug!

Hey Drew, don't get my family confused with Rodent's..... 8)

Wasn't offering $$... Female, 21....... >:D

Thanks for the hard work!
