Greetings! My carry pistol is a Ruger LC9s. Due to a lack of foresight on my part:(, I have some light rust and minor pitting on the slide where it contacts the holster. It is on the slide engraving. I've managed to take off the surface rust, but I'd like to figure a way to prevent it happening...

Oh, one more thing- keep an eye out; I've been working up some .45 loads; 200 gn coated SWC. I've done loads for 572, BE-86 & WSF; I want to get a couple of loads with faster powders, maybe Bullseye, W231 or Power Pistol for comparison. I will post for consideration; I'll even run some 230...

Yeah, that struck me as more than a little impossible:p

CoalTrain49- I have the ASR in both 9mm and .45ACP; granted, I haven't had the chance to get any longer range shooting done, since I got the .45 conversion kit for Christmas, but at least in 9mm it is reasonably accurate; I'd say that it is more accurate than I am :). I load my own ammo, and if...

I'm on TNW's mailing list, and just got this: some chrono numbers on the .45 carbine. Granted, very limited numbers, and commercial ammo, but interesting nonetheless. When I get some free time to get to the range with chrono, ASR/.45 and 1911/.45, I will post some data from various loads; my...

I use Power Pistol behind 115 gn RN coated, 5.1 gn; 1.100 OAL; about 1150 fps. I use 4.8 gn Power Pistol behind 122 gn FP (1.075) & 124 gn RN, (1.110)(The FP is .30 shorter) and both are right around 1050 fps. All are Acme bullets. They also have 145 RN and 147 FP; I tend to use either Titegroup...

I use Titegroup & Longshot for 147, Bullseye & Power Pistol for 115/124; all coated bullets. Seems the Longshot works better for me at the heavier bullets, and Power Pistol for the lighter ones. Just my two cents worth- btw, W231 is one of the most versatile powders; HP38 is for all intents and...

I'll jump in on the side of coated or plated rather than lead; first, don't know your range situation, but many indoor ranges, especially newer ones (at least in my area), discourage if not ban lead bullets, and in Wisconsin, indoor range season is fom October til April. I got 13" of snow on...

Finally got it fixed; I replaced both the extractor and the ejector and it works like a charm. I had had a round jam in the chamber and used a wood dowel I had previously bought at Home Depot to free it; I had the barrel loosely attached so I had my hands free. I think I may have slightly bent...

Ok; I wanted to thank everyone for their ideas. Figured I owe what I found out; it was easy enough when I thought it through. I simply went to the range after adjusting bolt travel. It wasn't off that I could tell, but I adjusted it to be sure. I ran 10 rounds of a previously tested round, and 9...

bds- Thanks for the video; I watched it and will tear down and check it; but not now, Packer game is on.:rofl:

Test of the 10mm version of the ASR. http://dailycaller.com/2016/01/22/gun-test-tnw-firearms

bds, this is not an AR platform; it's about as simple a system as possible. Here is a link to the manual so you can get an idea of the platform; too large to attach: https://www.tnwfirearms.com/Articles.asp?ID Supposed to be a 'blowback operated' system; no gas tubes or anything of that sort.

Ok, I ripped it apart. No build up (didn't think there would be; I'm pretty anal about that stuff), and, although it's tough to get good pictures of something that small, looks intact. I'm attaching a photo of the bolt head with the extractor, and for comparison, the second one will be of the 45...

The TNW Aero Survival Rifle has a serialized UPPER; so they can ship the receiver, bolt head and barrel to change caliber without going through an FFL. One receiver does 9mm, 357 Sig and .40 SW; the other receiver does .45 ACP and 10mm. I currently have 9mm and 45; it's the 9mm I'm having...
