Anyone have an AMT Automag III .30 Carbine to go with their M1?


Recommended Posts

Mine is A bit tight. When I slam the slide shut it sometimes hangs up. It will work fine for 10-15 slams then hang up a few times. If I flick my wrist while Swiping the slide swap it works better. I think its tight and the barrel has issues coming up and locking up

 

Just needs break in Im sure.

 

Even had grease pencil number 6 on the frame and slide inside the gun. Proof its never been apart and cleaned.

 

Excited to try it out

Make sure you run it very "wet" with lube as you break it in. The stainless steel these pistols are made of will gall if run dry. Once it's broken in you can back off on the lube but it's very important to have plenty of lube when the pistol is new.

Check out the article on those guns in SAR magazine, don't recall the issue date.

 

The earliest Automag III pistols in .30 caliber carbine were marked with the IAI logo of Irwindale Arms Incorporated on the slide and frame. Known examples have a locking lug on the barrel and corresponding locking groove in the slide.

Later Automag pistols were marked with the AMT logo of Arcadia Machine and Tool on the slide and frame.
