Need to buy or borrow a 9mm conversion cylinder...

by Byron, Saturday, February 06, 2016, 14:08 (3216 days ago)

I have a 50BMG box full of Israeli 9MM Uzi ammo that I ended up with in a trade. It is mostly boxer primed however the primers are so hard that they are not reliable in any of my autopistols.

I am told that a strike from a Blackhawk will fire them consistently and I would like to shoot them up to harvest the brass in that I shoot and lose a lot of 9mm brass.

I would like to buy or borrow a 9mm cylinder to shoot this stuff up. If borrowed, it would be returned cleaner than when I received it. I would pay a deposit for the use.

The other option is to find someone with a 9mm buzzgun to buy it all cheap and shoot it up fast.

Exterior finish is ugly but is mechanically fine. Loan or buy don't matter to me. I will happily supply dimensions if you want to investigate. Some drop right in, some don't.

Oh yeah, if'n a Blackhawk doesn't light 'em off, swap the main spring for one from an Old Army (I do that regularly anyway).

Beater three five seven...

I assume the electrons made it and that you have been busy.

I bought a 45 acp cylinder for my 45 Colt Blackhawk.

It would not fit but with judicious stoning on the nose of the cylinder (whatever it is really called), I got a really nice fit.

yes, cylinders don't always interchange easily

all you can do is try it

I figured tight fit that I had to stone was better than

you could come down and I'd be glad to let you put your Uzi ammo through an actual Uzi. :-)

If ever there was a reason to by an UZI...
