Got a Glock 34 from the forsale forums here, and took it out for a few mags on Sunday. Nice gun.

Also got a Kimber .22 conversion for my 1911. Definitely NOT originally intended for an SAM 1911 clone, as it took me 3-4 hours of filing, fitting and polishing to get it to work, but it's a decent enough plinker now that I've got it running. I was in a rush, or I might have rolled the dice and ordered a JAC $169 job instead of shelling out $322 after tax at Specialty Sports for this one.

Pics later if I get to it.

Good to see you post Circuits.
How about an update on that beltfed .22lr upper you have.
Of course, pics are always nice [Beer]

Glock 34's rock. I have a 35, wish I had a 34 to go with it.

Got a GSG-5 from Protekt just over a week ago, and my 5.11 VTAC sling for the AR arrived today :D

The .22 beltfed is a real hoot... if only I had a better way to load the belts, and some more belts, and some bigger belts, and some of the plastic links.

It's turned out to be a bit ammo sensitive, and only runs well with Rem. golden bullet. Both the beltfed and my regular mag-fed ceiner .22 kit like the golden bullet, but don't run so well with the slightly cheaper federal bulk stuff. It seems underpowered.

Anyway, the beltfed runs really well when squeaky clean and well lubed, but after five or six belts it starts having ejection and feeding issues, and kinda needs to be cleaned again. I made a heavier, all-metal charging handle to reduce the rate of fire, but I might have made it a bit too heavy, as it doesn't run as reliably using the heavy handle as it does with the stock, light plastic handle.

I'm in the process of acquiring a set of spade grips from KNS for its host M16 to make it the coolest little beltfed in town.

These are toys I could really enjoy. I agree - we gotta see some pics.

I've read loading the belts is a pain, the spade grips sound schweet !!!!
Gotta love .22lr full auto fun.
