    My first build

    Finished a couple of weeks ago. Its a plumbcrazy firearms. I've put about 100 rounds through it already and it shoots very well. Has a very basic sight on it, I plan on upgrading there and putting on a new buttstock to be more left hand friendly. Not sure exactly what type of sight I'm going to put on yet, time and money will dictate that one

    Let me know how it looks and if anyone else has experience with plumbcrazy l'd like to hear from them. So far it has been good so I look forward to more good times on the range.

    ahh yes.. i remember the pumbcrazy thread here about a year or so ago. the owner seemed a little on the unstable side, and then i never heard about them again.

    what's the receiver appear to be made of? as i recall, we never could get that info from him.

    It is made of a polymer plastic similar to a glock. I had some problems in the initial build and replaced some of the plastic retaining pins with metal ones. However during the limited rounds I've been able to put downrange it has done very well. So far no problems with jamming, everything seems to work fine. I was actually wondering if anyone had put high volume of rounds downrange and how it performed then. As you can see from the pic I am using magpul PMags, love those ever since Iraq.

    Later I want to change out the pistol grip, its a little small for my hands. And the buttstock like I said to fit a better left-handed sling. I had one on my duty weapon from LaRue tactical that worked very well but of course like a dummy I left it in Hawaii when I PCS'ed so now I gotta go buy another one. Oh well lesson learned.

    i dont think anybody around here has posted anything- so you'll be our test subject for the plumb crazy receiver.

    you said you replaced some plastic pins? did you buy it as a complete lower?

    Yeah bought it stripped with all part and built it myself. Broke the pin that hold the safety selector lever. It was plastic and I didn't cut the spring to fit so I forced it and the plastic pin broke in half. Bought a replacement kit for all the little pins and springs so far that is the only one that is replaced by a metal pin.

    So far so good with the rest of the receiver though. Very lightweight and the action is really smooth. I cant wiat to get some serious range time with it though and see how it does.

    No one at TOS likes Plumcrazy. Well, maybe one guy. But now we have ours.

    OP, let us know how it works. Don't use it for your home defense gun, though.

    is your hammer spring in correctly, the legs of the hammer spring need to be under not over the pin. The 3rd pic looks like its over.

    Just want to say thanks. I had some misfires on a few rounds on a new builds first time to the range. After reading your post I discovered it too had the hammer spring installed wrong. Just fixed it and will be back to the range soon to see it that helped.
