It is amazing that they still allow full-auto in the liberal bastion of Massachusetts. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif That was a very nice film of some great weapons. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif So, I gather you are something of a military firearms collector.

Great video. Holy crap, what were you firing out of that M1? Was that factory ammo or re-loads? I don't think I have ever seen a M1 fire that fast! And yes those 42's will try to run away from you!

That M1 seems to have some "violent" recoil. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif

 

I would try another bolt! I would check the buffer also.

 

Great video! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif

The M1 was firing 45 ACP.

 

Just cause I can hold it steady does not mean it was firing .22!

 

Here is my bolt -- has it been lightened or something?

RS,

Wow! Never heard of that food. But if it works, it works. I feed my Czech Republic Import GSD Solid Gold Millennium and the Nupro powder. Stuff is killer! He looks very similar to the coloring of your dog, but better proportioned. Sorry, but I am prejudiced!

 

Koslowsky (his Trinidad, Colorado Company was called "Gunmachines") made lightened bolts and actuators using G.I parts for TSMG's back in the 90's.

Solid Gold/Fromms/Innova -- there are several good foods.

Do you think I really have a speed bolt? I posted photos. Frank seems to think my bolt looks correct. I figured it was light but now I don't know what to think.

Yes, the winch has rescued me before. Another time I got stuck at low tide and the vehicle was submerged to the steering wheel before two tow trucks could pull me out. I also once rolled it but the roof hit a tree and it did not flip all the way over. I still have a dent on the edge of the roof.

My bolt is 781 grams. I am waiting for someone to tell me the weight of a known-good bolt.

 

Frank seems to think it might *just* be the ammo.

 

Do I want a Wolff extra-power recoil spring? I have to order a new firing pin anyway -- mine just broke.

RS,

 

It looks to me like your bolt has been lightened. I see some grinding marks and a relief cut on the side that I haven't seen before. I have seen some M1 bolts that have the relief cut at the top like yours, but not on the side.

 

Whatever, the rate of fire is too fast for an M1. I'd be a little concerned about putting undo stress on your receiver. Order a bolt from IMA or some other source and I think you'll see the difference in a side-byside comparison.

I think the XMG is the sleeper on the MG market....lots of fun for money...plus all the cool stuff to go along with the 34....definitely a bargin in the NFA world...makes for a cool video too... http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif
