#6585 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 45 ACP 5 Years, 11 Months ago   I'm safe here. I have an 06 so I can't be a Giunea pig. I've seen where people are using 45 ACP cases for AIS plugs. First question is, don't you worry about the primer popping out or coming loose? Second question is a thought I had. The 45 ACP dimensions are: Case mouth - .473 Case base - .476 (Right above the extractor groove.) Rim - 480 I was thinking of the 45 colt case: Case mouth - .480 Case base - .480 Rim - .512 So if the ACP case goes in all the way to the rim which is .480 then wouldn't it be a better seal if you used a 45 colt case which is .480 the entire lenth and has a rim bigger than the hole. Of course you would have to cut the 45 colt case down(maybe). I don't know how thick the walls are. Has anyone tried it?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #6593 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:45 ACP 5 Years, 11 Months ago   You're supposed to use spent shells.

If you don't have a primer in there you would have a leak through the flash hole.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #6596 TMK (User) Sometimes Wrong But Never In Doubt Platinum Boarder Posts: 1013 Re:45 ACP 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Actually a pretty good idea...cut the case down, punch out the primer and then seal it with high temp silicon (if it exists) or maybe solder (will look like a primer to maintain the theme)... Be curious to know if it works Regards, Ted   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #6597 erizo (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1469 Re:45 ACP 5 Years, 11 Months ago   funny, but i have a bunch of spent .38 cases that a member of the guardia civil gave me. i've used them in a.s.i. pipes on a few bikes because they enter well and seal nice.   Logged     be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #6599 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1158 Re:45 ACP 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Guys come on it`s....what 19.00 bucks for the kit and you know it works   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #6601 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:45 ACP 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Musky wrote: I hope no one has installed cases with unfired primers But fired cases still have the spent primer in them. If you don't have a primer in there you would have a leak through the flash hole. Educate me I have some spent brass 9 mm casings that I used to make 'dummies'. They don't have any 'holes' in them. Try a search on the R* Riders Forum. I know periodically then talk about using casing as AIS plugs.

But what's wrong with being a little creative or trying something just for the hell of it? Like figuring out a new way to adjust the PMS By the way how are you coming with that? Think i'm gonna need it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #6605 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:45 ACP 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Hey Doc There has to be a hole in the bottom of the primer pocket. Otherwise the flame from the primer couldn't get to the powder.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #6606 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:45 ACP 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Musky wrote: Hey Doc There has to be a hole in the bottom of the primer pocket.

If you don't have a primer in there you would have a leak through the flash hole." Why would you still have primer after firing? Would not the explosion from the powder clean out the casing? And I keep re-reading the second sentance but it still doesn't make sense to me. Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access.
