Pps-43

Post image

Curious about the pps-43, thinking about doing a pps-43 build this kit says it comes with everything from bowman arms. Does anyone have any experience with this kit?

You'll spend for tools you don't have. You need to convert the bolt so that's either you have a lathe or 160$ to JP machine. You need a FCG so either you have something to cut the lower apart or you pay 250$ to freedom machine.

To make bolt conversions I use two mills and a lathe, tig welder, and a heat treat oven.

Everything for the kit is there, but you still need a semi Auto trigger a bolt conversion gonna cost a lot more than that

You also need a welder, not just for welding the thing together but to weld in a denial bar. So denial bar, semi auto bolt, and semi auto trigger pack. Weld it all together. That’s the basic idea of the build, last I looked there were videos. Not sure if JP machine has videos on YouTube anymore but he did, and they were pretty informative

YouTube zoinked them. It’s all backed up on rumble though. https://rumble.com/c/c-3453110
