Locking block interest

In my normal fashion, I’m going down the road to producing what I can’t find. In this case it’s 35 degree and 40 degree locking blocks for SP9A3/S models. I’m getting production quotes now on them so I wanted to see what interest there was. The plan is $60 free shipping, and I really just want to know if anyone is looking for 40 deg. I mainly want 35 because who doesn’t show suppressed these days 😬. Would love feedback back on interest below.

Also, waiting on bids for the wide mouth hand guard for suppressor and mlok function. Thanks everyone!

35, or even the Euro 30.

u/blomdala 6d ago

So there is a 30?? I drew one up but didn’t want to get crazy with science. Maybe I’ll just do the 35 and 30 lol

Evidently, someone on this sub posted a photo of it a month or back, but that’s literally the only time I’ve even heard of one.

u/redkemper 5d ago

Yeah that was a reply in one of my threads — pic here if anyone's interested. Definitely real, and definitely the only time I've ever seen or heard of one.

(I would 100% pick up a 35 deg if OP makes them!)

Guess I’m going to have to think about making a few. I also drew a 25 lol.

u/So_muchforstealth 6d ago

How spicy of a round would you need to cycle a 25 lol

The old Hirtenberger milsurp subgun ammo. 🤣

Need the worlds highest back pressure can 😂

Would 100% do a 35 or 30. Been checking everyday for GO to restock for months. Please keep us updated!!

u/blomdala 5d ago

Same, that’s why I’m here now lol. Seeing miss built 35 after months of waiting is not the business. Just figuring out initial order for production right now so I can get this ball rolling!

u/sc00bk 6d ago

In for at least a 35. Maybe a 40 too, for science.

u/stanley_twostroke 5d ago

I have the 40, what sort if difference would I even notice if I got a 35? I shoot suppressed, YHM R9

u/blomdala 5d ago

The word on the street is suppressed is even less gas’s and softer. They are never in stock so I don’t know, but I’m gonna make them and find out lol

2

u/Total_Examination297 5d ago

Well you still buy the 40 from GO, so why make that?

2

u/blomdala 5d ago

It’s available now, that doesn’t mean it will stay in stock. I’m all about producing items that are difficult to get a hold of and keeping them available for people. That’s what my business does thus far.

u/Total_Examination297 5d ago

Yeah the 40 has been in stock for 3ish straight months. Im assuming they have better stock on thise since its a factory part for the euro models. Please make a 35, id buy yesterday

1

u/CAPTAINxKUDDLEZ 3d ago

The 40 had issues with US ammo allegedly. Likely no one buying those.

1

u/Total_Examination297 3d ago

So then why would the 35 be any better?

1

u/CAPTAINxKUDDLEZ 3d ago

The internet tells me it’s better for suppressed.
The 45 is better all around and some weaker US market ammo couldn’t cycle well on the 40.

1

u/Total_Examination297 3d ago

Exactly, the whole point is better roller delayed action for suppressed shooting. The 40 is better than the 45 for this, but the 35 is where its at. Thats why the 40 isnt selling, not cuz issues with ammo, but because everyone wants the 35 for suppressor back pressure

2

u/CAPTAINxKUDDLEZ 3d ago

They abandoned the 40 for the 45 for US market because not everyone shoots suppressed, and suppressors aren’t always on people’s guns.
There are other benefits sure. But I imagine people aren’t gonna buy the one that kinda works a little good both ways when their gun came with a better non suppressed bolt. They’ll want the opposite bolt for suppressed.
I’m waiting for the 35 to come back, thought about picking up a 40, but I’m in no rush.

1

u/blomdala 3d ago

I think I’m going to just run a batch of 35

1

u/blomdala 5d ago

But to your point, maybe it’s lower priority since it’s still available and I work on a 30° instead

1

u/Joedirt-199 3d ago

Seems like the 40 has been in stock and out of stock more times than the 35. 

1

u/twistokane 1d ago

I'd definitely grab a 35 if you made one, already have the 40.

What's the internal dimension on the handguard? I have the S model with the Rugged Sub9 and can't find a handguard that will let me tuck the Sub9 due to the 1.73" diameter

2

u/blomdala 1d ago

I believe I made it enough to clear a 1.75 diameter can with Mlok nuts.

u/redkemper 6h ago

Any updates? Curious if you’re gonna give it a shot.

1

u/blomdala 6h ago

Oh yeah, I’m working with a machine shop now, going to do just 35 deg for now. Looks like production schedule is about 20 days estimated since I’m a small guy.

u/redkemper 6h ago

Awesome! Do you have an email list or something for people who are interested?
