Some of you were wondering if smaller pellets fits in to 9mm PAK. 6.35mm is perfect fit!

Do you need a special lower to make an 80% ar shotgun?

Would it need an ar10 reciever?

Building my first ar now and looking ahead to other projects.

Hand Cannon v2 Update

Couldn't wait til the weekend to test fire this bad boy!

After playing around with paper wad blanks, I reduced the charge to 30gr. Not bad results from a few yards away with a sightless smoothbore lol

65gr Hornady .350 lead round ball

30gr Hodgdon 777 3F BPS

8" barrel

Roughly 1370fps, 271 foot pounds of energy, 75% powder burn (needed the volume anyway to get a good pack). All numbers are probably slightly less due to gas leak from the fuse hole.

Tons of fun! Can't wait for the next one.
