That Hybrid sale a bit back got me thinking; what are my budget-friendly options if I'd like one common can to share between a 300blk, 9mm, and 7.62x39?

Something like the Hybrid or Griffin Optimus would probably be your best bet. The Optimus price is not bad considering all the accessories you get with it.

The Optimus looks perfect for just shoving on everything, thanks!

Has there been any detailed explanation how the Maxim 9 works? It's billed as a delayed blowback 9mm. From early images I thought the rods at the slide might be it but those just look to be recoil spring guide rods with the springs in the top of the slide. The only other feature I can see is some kind of tab on the left of the slide that fits in a slot by the breech. Wondering if this is some kind of tension clasp or roller catch something that is the delaying mechanism. Either way I think they are pretty neat and glad to see something different for a change.

IIRC it's roller locked. There's a video of Ian from Forgotten Weapons playing with one at SHOT and I think that's what he said.

I think I figured it out, though I can't tell if it's a roller or just a rounded projection on a finger of spring steel or something. Think like the long claw extractor on a Mauser action. The tab I was looking at isn't a catch though, it would just be a guide for the slot outside the barrel. The barrel hood itself has an angle cut on one side, pretty sure this roller or nub wedge locks against that. Here are some pics I found online with the features and surfaces pointed out. Forgive my crude markup.

My LGS has 2 of them. When I asked how they ran with subs the guy behind the counter said they don't like the 147gr ammo too well. Said it had lots of FTE. Idk if it just needed to be broken in better or if the ammo was the problem.

I really want to see one taken completely apart. From the little I can see so far I'd have a lot of reservations about it working consistently over different ammo types and long term wear. I like it a lot but probably not enough to be an early adopter. That said I still think it's probably the coolest NFA item to come out in the past decade, as common semi-auto centerfire handguns are the worst suppressor hosts in principle.

Mine has been flawless with steady diet of 147 lawman, zero break-in. I will take pictures for you next time I go in to my FFL which will be Friday. Its not really roller locked, it first recoils the inner slide with the striker spring retainer, such as in a glock. Then the side bar that you pointed out unlocks and it moves back with the two recoil rods on top of the slide. There may be rollers in there somewhere as I haven't had it apart yet.

Cool that would be great to see. I'm not sure if the pictures I posted are even the final version as some recent videos look to have a side lock bar or whatever that looks different and does fit into that slot by the breech. I'd also be interested to know if there is just one roller/projection or more than one. thanks!

I'm still curious to see how the Maxim fairing long term. It almost couldn't have come out at a worse time, and that's ignoring the whole thing about it being a company's first outing at building a gun. Longevity in terms of both parts wear and how long it stays on market should be interesting.

so im doing a form 1 for my 300 blackout lower to make an sbr what should I put for the caliber? I was reading that 300 BLK or 300 AAC wasn't acceptable, should I just do .30? also, if my barrel is covered by a hand guard, is that obstructive enough that i should get the caliber engraved on the lower?

Seriously? Stripped lowers basically always say Cal: MULTI and I've never heard of someone engraving their lower with 5.56 or .223

ATF won't approve of a Form 1 unless it lists the actual caliber, so MULTI is not ok during the approval process. ATF doesn't care if you change your caliber after the approval, so MULTI is ok after the approval process. So write .30 on the Form 1, definitely seriously engrave your lower with .30 or whatever lol, and then just un-engrave it after the Form 1 is approved.

I've never been asked for paperwork at a range. A friend has a registered full auto Uzi. He claims you can shoot all day no problem most places but as soon a single mag goes though the Uzi the cops almost always show up. Apparently people are really scared of full auto.

Some how that comes up when googling nfa stuff. Unfortunately the internet never forgets and dumb advice lives on in perpetuity. It's completely unnecessary except for the extremely paranoid. Probably a throwback to when NFA wasn't as popular, or as common as it is now. It's pretty well proven that a lot of the 'tips' floating around from those days are outdated or were never accurate to begin with.
