I won't give the full story, it will take too long and most will click the "back" button before appreciating the ending...
I pieced together a Minimag...
I wanted an X-Valve but didn't have the cash so I got a retro valve instead.
I really wanted a ULE trigger so I had Brad Nestle drill the valve to accept it...
Got the valve back, wouldn't work, sent back to Brad...
Got gun back, sent to Brad again, still wouldn't work...Brad closes up shop...
Apealed for help, Tuna ansers the call and I send gun to him... :clap:
He works on it, sends it back to me, still doesn;t work, I send it back to him...
I get it back, it is leaking a little and won't work when I put the barrel on... :confused:
Tuna says he doesn't know what the problem is, suggests I send it to AGD... :(
I get it back, leaks less, but still won't fire when I add barrel...
Well, I do something I should have done 2 years ago when I was at step 1 of this problem...and yes, that's how long this has been going on, I've never been able to use the gun in 2 years...I switched to a different barrel...
And guess what, it was the barrel...(picture below)

The trigger either gets too stiff to pull or goes completely limp. It's the darndest thing. This isn't a homemade barrel or anything weird and I've used this barrel on my classic mag...worked just fine.
I have no idea why this is going on. But, on the bright side, after my gun has been to Texas twice, New Jersey twice, and once to Illinois and back, I may actually after 2 years be able to slap the Warp on it and give it a try! :clap: Of course, now I'll probably have a bad warp or something and I'll spend a year or so trying to fix that...I hope not... :rolleyes:
