Derya 9mm just arrived. For the money, I'm not expecting miracles. Just hoping to have a fun plinker in a calibre that's not .22. I have a TM22 and the stock on this one seems to be exactly the same. I really like that adjustability. I'm becoming a fan of peep sights and i'm looking forward to experimenting with these. I really like the look of the sharp pin front sight. If the weather holds I'll be able to put some rounds through it on the weekend.
Let us know how it shoots. I have a pile of 9mm, should probably get something for it one of these days. If someone made a proper pistol grip unit for the homesteader I’d probably have one by now. These look kinda cool.
Yeah. First one cracked on install. Second held for a bit but I could never get the buffer tube to seat properly because a metal screw in printed plastic does not a good time make. Shame though: I liked it.
Hopefully that metalworks fellow gets something cooking.
Hah, they're already in production. Pic rail version though, as I will also be making a skeletonized folding "buffer tube" that connects to picatinny rears (like my SKS chassis or the upcoming Makasi) and takes multi-position buffer tube buttstocks
2 weeks or so, but took a long time to design. Also for Homesteader have a handguard, pic rail (for optic) and "heat shield" coming out this summer. Slow and steady. Big fan of being able to post pictures now, lol
Yeah, kinda what I meant by proper lol. Something machined from aluminum not 3D printed. I know Midwest Industries makes a nice stock, but it’s not pistol grip.
I know I wish that MI didn't discontinue their homesteader stuff cause I didn't get a chance to order it and now I don't really want to order the homesteader
I have put 150 rounds through mine so far. No issues with firing. Subsonics seem to be a bit longer than standard projectiles and they were sometimes unable to load. I had to take the mag out and slap it to realign the rounds. Standard ammo didn't have this issue. Factory mags worked better than Glock or Pmag mags. Be careful with the placement of your hand on the pump. I slammed my pinky between the receiver and pump and ended with a cut and a nasty bruise.
How do you find the factory mags for loading? Mine are unbelievably stiffly sprung. I don't have weak hands and it's killing me loading rounds 3 to 10. Rounds 9 and 10 are almost impossible. I loaded 34 rounds tonite (fired 14 rounds playing around, then fully loaded the mags) and may not have functioning thumbs tomorrow. 😆
I can not do it either. Even the glock mags are like that. I use a Maglula mag loader. It's the only way I can get them in. I load 5 mags with no effort.
I saw a bunch of people whining when it was announced about "why not semi auto??" And shit but like.. manual actions are a safe bet away from OIC BS and still could be fun plinking. Personally Im not big into new guns but seeing someone bring in weird or less common stuff is nice, would be cool to see one with a proprietary drum mag since its manual action! Especially if they had a slamfire setup
