Got my GP9 SA assembled, RXM version here. Was very simple to build. Small, lightweight and looks awesome too. Ordered a Parts kit from DB, shipping was fast and the kit was cheap. Ordered a metal charge handle seperate so I don’t have it yet, hence why not CH in the pictures. The HK push pin takedown implementation was brilliant and makes this thing feel very high quality.

So I got to shoot it today, shot like 5 or 6 mags through it, cause the sight wasn’t zero’d or I’d have done more. One of the slide-in tabs broke off at some point today. As well as part of the frame behind the rear rail broke off too. Other than that, worked perfect! Would love to try an FRT in this thing.

As a random aside, my Glock 19 mags with PMM extensions fit perfectly in the frame and don’t look too bad either, so I didn’t mess with printing any of the printed extensions.

I’m horrible with photoshop so no fancy background, enjoy this picture of my guns on the carpet that I’m sure my wife will be upset about.

Alrighty. I’ve had the ILWT barrel for about 2-3 weeks now. I’m running it with a BRT adapter with a YHM R45. Also ran it with my R9 on the same adapter. I’ve got about 400 rounds through it, and it’s been a painstaking process. Mostly me having to run the gun as a straight pull.

It will not cycle any 124gr I’ve shot. And all of the 124gr I’ve shot except blazer 124, has been supersonic. I took out the adjustable 4 position gas plug the barrel comes with, and installed the factory open plug as well, and same thing.

I shot a few mags of 115gr, none of it went subsonic, and it all cycled haphazardly, with every other shot cycling, both with the adjustable plug and the oem open plug.

Overall disappointed in this $600 barrel, because cycling issues aside, it’s straight up not a good SD gun in my experience, and all of the reviews I’ve seen on YouTube have mixed reviews as well. Considering selling it and moving on to a different barrel setup.

Edit: Tried troubleshooting everyone’s responses and nothing. Will not cycle any ammo at all. Going to reach out to ILWT and see if i can get any help.

Edit 2: Had a buddy ride over real quick and let me test his Hitec SD can and same thing with blazer 124gr, will not cycle.

Edit 3: I sent my barrel to ILWT and he’s going to check the gas port for spec and drill it out more if it needs it. Will update when I get it back.

Hey guys. Was one of the lucky few who managed to snag a 417 lower from Shadow Strategic a couple weeks ago. Finally got my hands on it as I’ve been out of town. I’m no stranger to expensive and long term gun building, but I’ll admit I’m a bit of a stranger in regards to the 417 platform. I know you can’t buy lowers, but I see they sell the lower parts individually.

So what all do I need to finish this thing, aside from the grip? I’ve built plenty of AR10 lowers, just curious is this has magic Kraut parts or do I just buy the HK equivalent of what would go in an AR10?

2009 Yamaha R6.

Hey guys. Bought a project bike and it’s road worthy, everything replaced with OEM parts. I’m having an issue. The turn signals on both sides have been cut and look like this after cleaned up. I’ve made new harnesses with OEM plugs and I can’t get them to work no matter what wiring combination I try (can’t find a pin out).

But here’s the problem. I’ve separated all the wires, none are touching anything that I can see, with a fresh 10amp turn signal fuse, the right side flasher will work on the dash (only the dash and rear turn signal, it doesn’t have a front signal, just like the left side). But anytime I press the left hand side turn signals, it immediately blows the fuse.

What’s going on? 2009 Yamaha R6.

Hey guys. I bought a 2009 R6 that I thought was clean. Tore it all down when I got home, and have been slowly finding gremlins and replacing with OEM parts.

I’m trying to install my new CRG levers to remove the tacky cheap ones on it now. My new Brake lever won’t fit, and I’m figuring out why. My research tells me I’m supposed to have a Brembo Master, yet my bike has a Nissin one. Is that right? Or did these come with 2 different ones?
