O.K. I surrender

[aksforme]

OK guys. . . I have been looking at these pistols long enough. I've been bitten. Please, Slamfire (some real sweet work) Hootbro, anybody, help a guy out.

1) How do you shorten the gas tubes and pistons? How do you re-flare the gas tube if you cut the front?

2) How do you create new journals that the gas blocks fit over tightly?

3) where do you get the rear trunion blocks with swivels (rear and side swivel)?

4) whay mods are necessary with the gas port / block to guarantee the gun will cycle with the shorter barrel?

I would like to do a short barrel with the front sight/gas block combo. Where can I get these things? Can I use any Romy kit?

Thanks a bunch guys.

My advice is to read through the threads in BIY2. You will find everything you'd ever want to know on this subject.
Do some browsing and enjoy.

1) How do you shorten the gas tubes and pistons? How do you re-flare the gas tube if you cut the front? MEASURE THE LENGHT THEN CUT DOWN TO LENGTH WITH A HACK SAW USING A PROPANE TORCH HEAT UP THE ENDS THEN BEND OUT WITH A SET OF PLIERS CONTINUE UNTIL IT APPEARS ROUND THEN HEAT UP PLACE ON WEAPON AND TAP DOWNTO FIT THE GAS BLOCK

2) How do you create new journals that the gas blocks fit over tightly?1ST YOU MUST REMOVE EVRY THING FROM THE BARREL MEASURE FOR FIT SIZE AND CUT THE BARREL ON A LATHE TO FIT

3) where do you get the rear trunion blocks with swivels (rear and side swivel)? IN THE 4SALE FORUMS 40.00 SHIPPED WITH SWIVEL

4) whay mods are necessary with the gas port / block to guarantee the gun will cycle with the shorter barrel? NOT THE GAS PORT HOLE JUST NEEDS TO BE ONE SIZE LARGER

I would like to do a short barrel with the front sight/gas block combo. Where can I get these things? Can I use any Romy kit? CUT THE FRONT SIGHT WELD TO THE GAS BLOCK IS THE EASIEST WAY. YES
