huggytree Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/883619007 Is it legit 1944-45. Or is it a repro ? Condition looks too good to me. Especially the bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M17ap Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Loader and mag well adapter not original. He adjusted post to mention mag well not Be original or some type of field modification . It be nice to own and have dual caliber GG .They were made for both models.Never purchased one of these kits because I heard they are problematic. They don’t always drop in and run. Frank I. Had a kit years back did an article on It had to move barrel in collar and double up front plate to get to be reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 They can be made to work but it takes some knowledge. Im gonna be watching this as I have an original magwell insert in my parts collection....I might have to make a pass at this. Timing sucks as im going to look at a house Monday....

Frank Iannamico Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 I had one for an M3A1, the only one I had ever seen. Lots 'o' feeding problems. Despite the barrel being set back, the cartridges were too far from the barrel. Lots of "nose dives."I did fix the problem by setting back the barrel a little further, and adding a second front plate to keep the bolt from hitting the barrel. As someone mentioned above, I did write an article on the "fix" but I could not find it in the SAR article archives. Someone made me a very generous $ offer for the kit that I couldn't refuse. https://www.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=2990 https://www.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=1759 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted November 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Kit looks just as jumpy as the .45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Is the 9mm bolt appreciably lighter than the .45 bolt or do they have about the same mass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted November 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Uses the same springs as .45. So its gotta be less mass Looks like the jumpiest 9mm Ive seen Id say its the least smooth .45 but the rock seems timed with the next round. So your always on target. Wonder if the 9mm is similarly timed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 The 9mm bolt is roughly 3/8 to 1/2 shorter than the 45 bolt. Same OD, same guide rod springs and so on. The fact that its a little shorter lends itself to the reduced weight so the 9mm has enough ass to propel the bolt back far enough so it can sear up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 So there's less recoil energy being input by firing the cartridges and a lower ratio of the reciprocating mass of the bolt to the total mass of the gun. So why does the tail wag the dog like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
