Magtech Steel Case 9mm 115 Grain FMJ 1000 Rnd - $219 after code: GUNDEALS10 + FREE Shipping

This stuff will lock up both my Glock and ar9 on about a box. Because case does not expand it gunks up chamber. The chamber is open to the gases in.n the barrel
It works with rifle cartridges because the pressures are so much higher steel case expands for a seal.
Steel cases are also hard on extractors..
I know some guys that run it. It works in their guns.

Soviet Arms AK-V 9x19mm U9 35 Round Patterned Magazine, Black - $16.99

I think these are rock n lock ak style. Rock n locks have been outfitted to some 15s but a buttload of metal is removed. It's not a plug and play thing. The front lip of a rock n lock inserts into a slot underneath the feed ramps of a ak . There is no upper or lower. No room on a ar15 upper for that slot. Has to go into lower. Most of the lower mag well has to be cut away for rock n locks. People have done it but it ain't anything easy and the Lower looks like a cutaway or something.

I wanted to buy the Lee Challenger Kit but Natchez wants $22 shipping and $8 tax, so any savings is gone.

Lyman Sonicore Rekkr DT, 30 Cal, 5/8x24 Direct Thread, Modular Suppressor - $249.99

For the money, this worked out really well on my .300 blkout. Not so much on my short AK. Too much gas coming back, can kept loosening up and ran super hot within a few rounds.
