ps
as of snic 14s im pretty sure he doesnt due 18s! cause i myself have looked for snics but have only seen 14s for sale and owned!

there were a few 18 snics on fmg when it first opened but that was 2 months+ ago I think

yeah i looked through fmg bf smg none have a 18mm but they do have some sick ass ones in fmg ! just wish it was 18mm but by what TH is saying im just gana have to get a reducer. got a new lurch ac on the way though so gotta save the funds for a few weeks before i dropp the 2 bills for the slide and however much the reducer is...how much you pay for that btw TH?

I use a bushing adapter and of course there's no added drag as the bushing adapter stays connected to the slide not the tube joint so when you clear it's still clearing through a normal 18.8 joint.

would a keck clip work with a bushing?

**Glassaholic** · 09-20-2009, 08:10 PM

I don't know, I never use them anymore, I just lock it onto the bowl with a small twist, they come off easily with a twist in the opposite direction.

**theookiekabuki** · 09-20-2009, 08:48 PM

yeah ive done that before it just scares me, seems like you could chip the joint that way

**Glassaholic** · 09-20-2009, 08:50 PM

I've been doing it that way for a year now and all my slides are still in brand new condition so I wouldn't worry too much
