Rekraps

Good point, but what does it accomplish?

How did you come across this information? Very interesting... so they received special SN's?

I have one of Scott Andrey's bolts, w/his proprietary extractor. When he sent me two extra extractors, I tried to fit them into an OEM bolt and it was a no go. I can take pics of both bolts and extractors (i have extra of each) if you guys need them.

Help me understand why anyone would "blank" out the SN when asking questions about a gun?

I agree!

This sear/trigger bar design, solid or OEM seem problematic from the start. The sear recess is very shallow AND rounded, while the OEM trigger bar is itself rounded making for failure to happen likely. Your solid trigger bar has a sharp 90 degree angle at the sear interface, yet the sear still has it's OEM rounded mate. I wonder if a touch of grinding to make the sear interface perpendicular to the "new" trigger bar would make the engagement more secure/solid.

I have three of Andrey's extractors, they are "longer" than the OEM versions, and fit only his bolts.

Wow, that seems the hard way to do it. Extruding (like a pasta noodle) somehow seems so easy....

I've posted history behind the L and MB series guns which were made when the prices of the K's did not support the cosmetic touches that the newer refurbished K's are getting, i.e. welds smoothed out, blued parts etc. Not sure why a welded tube vs a Pearl type construction make a difference. In my layman's logic, the receiver of the K is subject to almost no stress at all which is why they seem to last forever. Same for most blowback (impulse) operated SMG's (although the M3 had some issues with the center weld failing with all the bolt pounding). The tube just contains the spring, bolt and ejector.

You get all the K's!

Woah now, I'll take one! The three prong units are correct, the one without has the studs sheared off.

Very cool! I tend to agree, looks like a one-off hand made, maybe for display or specifically to match the wood stock. Did you get the gun?

Oh, the elusive m45C shroud... love it.

Great info you guys. Zero stoppages for my K's... always run great, eat any ammo & run well suppressed.

I had no idea. How many K’s did Pearl produce?
