The Abode of McThag

I have loosened and re-torqued every single PSA barrel nut I've ever gotten on an assembled upper. Only one was not grossly over torqued...

Got the Wilson Combat Accu-Tac flash-hider installed. I like the retro-modern look of the AccuTac, and I've used t...

Lavender Linda and Dottie have exchanged forward assists. Three-prong is in her future! It makes me giggle that I'm combining modern a...

Dottie is a contradiction in terms in a couple of ways, on purpose, because it amuses me. I glanced over where she sits an...

 While the MBUS3 sights were functional, I didn't really like how they looked on Dottie. I was resigned to putting up with functi...

In this thread , there are pictures of the arched backstrap for the model 59 and x59 guns. Installed on a 459: This is what the packaging lo...

Did you know they made arched grips for 3rd gen S&W autos? I do now! Model 915 before: Model 915 after: I have long thought that the 59...

Magazine springs are wear items. Check every once and while if they've shrunk. The top magazine is brand new.  The bottom one isn't....

I ordered an NY1 trigger spring and a Zev Technologies pro-connector. My Glock 17 Gen 2 is a crisp 6.5 lb. with the standard connector and s...

Palmetto State Armory used a screw they epoxy'd into the gas tube hole of the front sight base to hold the handguard cap. Because it int...

I mentioned a bit ago that Cylinder & Slide was going out of business . I missed that they found a buyer and they would be staying open!...

I remember talking with New Jovian Thunderbolt when he took a 1911 armorer's class and his talking about fitting parts to a gun. I was r...

The dissipator upper came with an 'F' marked front sight base.  Those are slightly taller than the normal front sight base and are t...

Remember this post? With all this barrel swapping, I found something interesting. Linda's barrel nut is really banged up. That comes fro...

Dissy Dottie is not an accurate clone of an R605. Barrel is too long, handguards are wrong, A2 instead of 3-prong flash-hider, forward...

Swapped the A1 upper from Lavender Linda to Dissipator Dottie and vice versa. Pics tomorrow afternoon when the light is right. The entire po...

 PSA on LEFT, Brownell's on RIGHT.  <-- Lysdexics of the world UNTIE! From the front: From the back:  Outsides: Insides:  The Brownel...
