NP 29 in 7.62x25

[id64]

Have my J&G conversion fitted to my new NP29. Taking it tomorrow for a test.

 

[geologist]

Very cool. What did the conversion cost?

Range report please!

 

[polkey]

Nice, I did the same with a shooters arms, didn't much care for the Czech steel cased stuff, that and I had a case head failure with some ancient Remington 30 Mauser.

 

[id64]

It was about 200 USD with 4 .38 Super mags. Range report - hopefully, tomorrow

[machman]

Jealous, me!

Whose bringing in these barrels?

As far as I know - no one. I got this one privately.

Oh well, denied again.

Damn, I have been wanting one of these barrels for a long time, up you can load the Tokarev to some serious firepower. If anyone knows where I can find one of these barrels please drop me a PM.

I had a NP29 that shot poorly, so I got the J&J barrel kit (with a bushing). i bought 2 38 mags to go with it.

The barrel was slightly too long. Gunsmith gave it a couple of licks with a file, and it was a perfect fit.

milsurp ammo is a bit too long to fit the 38 mags, so I seat the bullets a bit deeper. they feed and shoot perfectly.

I reload using 110 plated M1Carbine bullets or 95gr SWC lead bullets sized 309. Both make this the most accurate 1911 I own.

Do you mind me asking, where you got the barrel from?

 

[Hitzy]

I got a whole gun in 7.62x25 for $179...even came with 2 mags, and a holster....lol.
Neat concept, but with having to seat and recrimp ammo for it would ruin it for me. Now a .38spl wadcutter 1911 is still on my to do list someday...

 

[id64]

I dont re-crimp the ammo. I can fir 8 rounds in those mags.

Looks like I need a stronger main spring. Had a lot light strikes, but feeding was flawless.

Yes, i should mentioned this. The hammer spring is not strong enough to fire the milsrp primers. I get about 50% misfires. I have sine switched to shooting handloads because it has become a target pistol. But if I was to shoot milsurp, it would get a stronger hammer spring. A $4.00 investment.

My Norc 1911 is at a gunsmiths getting the J&G barrel and bushing mated to the slide, followed by refinishing the pistol. Cant wait to get it to the range.

I got mine from Epps.

[id64]

BTW, where I can find extra strong spring?

 

[Dr.Lector]

Let us know how long the frame lasts.

Let us know how long the frame lasts.

Do you expect it to be an issue on 1911 frames? Not trying to be a smart alec, its a genuine question. Why would its longevity be different from a tokarev frame?
