Review
The product is well made it took some time to install and get all the parts in correctly. I needed to take the pistol apart a couple times to adjust the trigger for the reset. The wire ring for the spring retainer needed to be trimmed so it would allow the retainer to sit perpendicular to the rod this could be a place where an E-clip design might help. After installation of the kit the gun shot with out issue. I really feel the parts were well designed and strengthen the pistol and improved the function.
I thought this kit was well thought out and fun to install
After installation the pistol performed perfectly this was the 2nd 1 i have done with your parts and both pistols function flawlessly and with multiple different brands and types of ammo
I bought a pmr30 and refused to shoot it until I had the all in one installed I did not want to be disappointed so I waited and now I shoot the pmr30 confidently.
I watched the video first and then bought the kit. Getting the sides back together was my only struggle. The springs like to pop out of place. The slide return spring retaining wire is the only part I have concern that it might fail
This one stretched my gun smithing skills, however I learned and enjoyed the complete rebuild. The installation video is excellent and allow someone with no gun smithing experience to get the the project totally completed. Thank goodness they included the armor tool to get that #%&@ slide release spring in, after about the six time, I got the hang of it. One note is, it is great that MCarbo provides the small wire for the end of the return spring rod, but it was to big and when you crimped it, it wouldn't seat in the return spring retaining cap. I found out the new power springs can fly about 6 feet across the room in case you were wondering, so I used the original retaining wire. The Enhanced Mag release is a big part of making this gun run well, it places the shell more in line with the chamber, because it seats the mag higher. Plus the weight of thirty shells in the mag makes the mag kind of sag in the stock PMR, and is why the first ten to fifteen shells have FTF and FTE on the stock PMR. if you didn't do anything else, do the Enhanced Mag release, it is easy and a huge improvement by itself. I put the Enhanced Mag Release also on my CMR 30, which has to be the worst running firearm ever made, but had the potential to be the coolest. Between the Enhanced Mag release and the speed loader, it too rans better, not perfect, at least better. I did polish the stainless steel feed ramp, looks great not sure if polishing helps. The trigger feels good, and looks cool, no change in the 3.5 lb pull, and the dead trigger can be the trigger release bar is not below the safety screw. Another BIG secret is the speed loader, The Maglula loader dents the brass, especially with the last five to ten rounds but this one will load all 30 rounds without dents. you still need to tap the magazine a few times, but it makes loading a lot better. Which is why it runs better when the shells are in the magazine correctly. First full mag ran great with only one FTF, but it was one of those old dented shells, so I didn't count that. Also, if the shells are not loaded correctly it can mar the inside of the plastic mag, and that will not allow your follower to operate smoothly. Which is why MCarbo needs to come up with an aluminum magazine, liked they teased in the video. When you do I 'll take four mags when you get them, plus an improved buffer to complete the make over. The shipping took three weeks because someone decided to hold my order for one part that was on back order six to eight weeks, instead of shipping everything else and sending the slide release later. After a phone call to Customer Service, I had them in a week. I will review the slide release later. The PMR 30 is a fun gun to shoot, now it runs like it is suppose to and I can enjoy it, now what does it take to make the CMR run as well?
Order was quickly received. Installing them was relatively easy after watching the video. At 65 eyes aren’t what they used to be. Great son who helped. Haven’t had a chance to fire yet. Excellent customer, can’t wait to shoot.
This bundle for my PMR-30 did nothing for the jamming ..... IT STILL JAM'S !!!!! Do Not Buy
I received this kit even more quickly than estimated. Everything is fairly straight forward for a tinkerer/mechanically minded person to get on there. I had to install the magazine retention in on the opposite side, since the 'correct' screw was too stuck in the hinge, but using my brain maid it pretty straight forward. I think you guys should purposely not polish the feed ramp, as its fun and somewhat cathartic to do it yourself :). The hardest part is probably the the spring on the back of said feed ramp and ensuring the c-shaped metal boss it goes into stays seated on the trigger hinge anchor of while putting the halves back together. I recommend being a bit more conservative on the pre/post trigger screws than he starts with in the video (I didn't need to re-adjust after one time fortunately). Love the kit, We took the gun out for its first range test and it worked great.
1st, this company made ordering easy, kept me informed of where the kit was in the mail, and confirmed the delivery. That is great customer service 2nd, the kit itself was well organized, separated and properly marked, in English. 3rd, and very important, the you tube video on how to assemble the parts was really great. Made the whole process work. So, great customer service, a great product that works, as I fired 90 rounds yesterday and the improvements made all the difference in the world. Worth the money, and these are good people. Jim
I got this upgrade for my PMR-30. I have cycled about 300 rnds without a feed mishap. Took me about one hour to get all dismantled and put back together. The Video is a must, step by step.
Ok, short and simple. I bought my kit a piece at a time, thinking that was all that I was gonna do! Wrong. I really recommend getting this kit and go for it. Save about $50 too!
These parts are just pure genius. I replaced them myself by watching the video several times. The parts are wonderfully made. The aluminum frame strengthener, the feed ramp, etc., etc., engineered to exactly what this gun needed. The magazine now has less wobble to it. The action cycles so much smoother and better. I can now use my thumb easily to flick the safety back and forth and use my thumb and left hand to release the slide stop easier than that “dame plastic crap” that was there. Thanks, for making a kit like this, I really appreciate it. Consider me now, a part and member of your Brotherhood. You guys are the greatest. Regards, Vincent
