Firearms and ammunition

3.1. Main Features
The Police Pistol Quick Defense (PPQ) is a semi-automatic pistol utilizing an internal striker system to tire the cartridge. Having a smooth contour minimizes the chances of snagging on clothing when carried concealed.
The open post sights of the PPQ are designed for rapid aiming and target acquisition.
The PPQ features a loaded chamber indicator, along with a trigger safety and automatic internal
safeties.
The frame is made from high-strength polymer and has an accessory rail for mounting lights, lasers or other tactical devices.
The PPQ features interchangeable grip-backstraps for varying hand sizes, and an ambidext¬rous magazine release integrated into the trigger guard.
3.2. Functional Elements, Model Number Identification

3.2.1. Loaded Chamber Indicator
The loaded chamber indicator is on the right side of the slide. The loaded chamber indicator can be observed when the rear of the extractor is recessed, revealing a red colored marking (3.2.1. Fig. 1).

DO NOT RELY UPON THE LOADED CHAMBER INDICATOR TO VERIFY
THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER. ALWAYS CHECK THE CHAM¬BER OF THE FIREARM BY REMOVING THE MAGAZINE AND LOCKING THE SLIDE IN THE OPEN POSITION.

THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT CLEANLINESS OF THE PISTOL, DISCOLORATION OF THE AMMUNITION AND OTHER FACTORS MAY LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LOADED CHAMBER INDICATOR. CLEANING SOLVENTS OR WEAR MAY DARKEN OR REMOVE THE RED COLOR, OR POWDER RESIDUE OR DIRT MAY COVER IT UP. IF YOU DO NOT SEETHE RED DOT, DO NOT ASSUME THE CHAMBER IS EMPTY. AFER FIRST CHECKING THAT THE MAGAZINE HAS BEEN REMOVED, PULL THE SLIDE BACK UNTIL YOU CAN LOOK INTO THE CHAMBER AND VERIFY WHETHER IT IS EMPTY OR NOT.
3.2.2. Magazine Release
The magazine release is positioned on both sides of the trigger guard. The magazine release can be mani¬pulated with either your thumb or opposing index fin¬ger. Grasp the pistol with yourfinger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard. Depress the magazine re¬lease and remove the magazine. If you find that mani¬pulating the magazine release with your shooting thumb is cumbersome or difficult try using the index finger of your shooting hand instead (3.2.2. fig. 1).

3.2.3. Slide Stop
Locking the slide in the “open” position:
Grasping the grip of the frame and with your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard, depress the magazine release, and completely remove the magazine, firmly grasp the serrated sides of the slide from the rear with the thumb and fingers.
While steadily holding the grip, briskly pull the slide fully rearward to extract any cartridge from the chamber and clear it from the pistol.
To lock the slide in the open position, allow the slide to move slightly forward from the rearmost position while pressing upward on the slide stop (3.2.3. Fig. 1).
Releasing the slide from the slide stop:
Press down on the slide stop with the thumb of your shooting hand to release the slide and allow it to move fully forward. For easier operation of the slide stop, grasp the serrated sides of the slide from the rear and pull the slide fully to the rear while pressing down on the slide stop and then release the slide from your grasp to allow it to move fully forward.

The Walther P99 is a state of the art approach in firearms technology as a law enforcement handgun. This semi-automatic pistol was specifically designed to meet the latest requirements of law enforcement agencies. Its design incorporates solutions to the requirements of on-duty use, combining the many advantages of a hammerless pistol with the comfort of one equipped with a hammer. The P990 is a refinement of the P99 design that offers Walther’s constant Pull Trigger System specifically designed as a self defense pistol for law enforcement and trained civilians. This design is to eliminate significant differences in trigger pull between the first and subsequent shots.

QUICK ACTION

Trigger Mechanism: Pre-Cocked Striker System
The P99 Quick Action, with its uniform short trigger pull is the pistol of choice for both law enforcement tactical teams and competitive shooters. The P99 QA is easy to use with its repetitive trigger pull and with its four independent safeties; the P99 QA is one of the safest pistols available today.
Lightning-Fast Firing
The Quick Action trigger system: The striker is partially pre-cocked and when the trigger is pulled, the striker is fully cocked and released, firing the pistol. The trigger travel is approximately .31 inches with a trigger force of approximately 8 lbs. This short pull with its quick reset provides quick shot delivery especially in competitive situations.

ANTI STRESS

Trigger Mechanism: Traditional Double Action with an Anti-Stress Mode
As the first pistol equipped with a firing pin lock, the P99 AS combines the advantages of the traditional Double Action System with Single Action Anti-Stress trigger. The P99 provides the shooter with a user-friendliness previously found only in hammer fired pistols.
Traditional Double Action
The anti-stress trigger makes the P99 one of the world’s safest firearms by preventing unintentional “reflex” firing in stressful situations. The decisive innovation: When the slide is racked completely to the rear upon loading, the trigger remains in the forward position for the first shot; not only in the double action trigger mode, but also in the single action mode. The trigger travel is .551″ long in the anti-stress mode (at 4.4 lbs. trigger force), preventing inadvertent firing. On all subsequent shots, the trigger travel is reduced to .314″ (at the same trigger force) and this permits firing in rapid sequence, due to the quick reset of the P99 trigger.
Enhanced Safety The P99 AS is equipped with a decocking button to safely decock the striker. It acts as an automatic safety and is integrated directly into the slide to prevent snagging on clohing even if the gun is drawn quickly.

COMPACT PISTOLS FOR CONCEALED CARRY
Today’s trend is toward pistols that are compact in design and light in weight, yet have all the features that the law enforcement professional is seeking.
System Identical with the Full Size Models
The P99 Compact has the same highly advanced design features of the full size P99, but in a size that is designed for concealed carry. Just like the full size version, the compact P99 is available with the same trigger variations inclucing the QA and AS. The frame backstraps are interchangable so that the pistol will fit in a wide variety of hand sizes. The pistol will not snag in clothing when it is drawn, thanks to rounded edges. The hammerless striker system and safety devices integral to the P99 are also standard in the P99 Compact.
All the compact versions are delivered, as standard equipment, with a flat-bottom magazine butt plate and a finger rest magazine butt plate. The frame is molded with a Weaver-style rail to accept lights and lasers.
The new P99 compact is the ideal compliment to the P99 full size line of pistols. Perfect for concealed carry or as a backup weapon for law enforcement.

CAUTION

Failure to heed the warnings in this booklet may result in serious injury to you or others, as well as damage to the firearm or other property. Take note of the following warnings on gun handling before attempting to use your rifle:
1. Don’t rely on your gun’s safety. Treat every gun as if it were loaded and ready to fire.
2. Never cross a fence, climb a tree or jump a ditch with a loaded gun.
3. Never load or carry a loaded gun until you are ready to use it.
4. Watch your muzzle so the other person doesn’t have to.
5. Keep guns and ammunition separately and in locked storage.
6. Don’t shoot unless absolutely sure of your target and what is beyond it.
7. Know the range of your gun.
8. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting.
9. Always be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions . . . and only carry ammunition specifically intended for the gun you are using.
10. Never handle a gun without first opening it yourself to check to see If it’s loaded.

WARNING
Use only original, high quality, commercially manufactured ammunition which is in good condition. Only use ammunition of the caliber for which your gun is chambered. You will find the correct caliber engraved on the receiver. Never use ammunition of any other caliber. You should always use ammunition that complies with performance standards established by The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc.
The use of handloaded, reloaded or other non-standard ammunition will void all warranties.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY

The manual safety lever is located on the right side of the receiver.
It is “ON” (safe) when the lever is in the top position (Fig.2).
It is “OFF” (fire) when the level is in the lower position (Fig.3).

When in the “ON” (safe) position, the safety blocks the trigger from being pulled back far enough to release the hammer and discharge the rifle. At the same time, it obstructs the rearward travel of the bolt earner so that it cannot chamber a cartridge.

WARNING
Never carry this rifle with a cartridge in the chamber without having the safety “ON” (safe).
When turning the safety “ON” (safe) or “OFF” (fire), always keep your finger off the trigger and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
Never totally depend on a mechanical safety. Always practice cautious gun handling. Always point the muizle in a safe direction.
Always clean all grease and oil from the chamber and the bore before loading. Be sure there is no obstruction in the barrel.
Any foreign object in the barrel could cause a burst barrel or other damage to the firearm as well as serious injury to the shooter or to others.

The safety design of the AKM incorporates a positive “click” sound whenever the safety lever is fully engaged in either the “ON’* (safe) or “OFF” (fire) position. Be certain that you hear the “click” regardless of which position you intend to select and insure that the safety lever is not in between the “ON” (safe) and “OFF” (fire) positions.

Unlike most safeties, the safety on the AKM is placed in a position where it cannot be easily operated by right-handed shooters without first removing the index finger from the trigger.

WARNING
All shooters, regardless if left or right-handed, must remove their hand from the trigger guard when operating the safety in order to avoid the possibility of accidental discharge.
It is highly recommended that the safety be “ON” (safe) whenever the rifle is being transported or otherwise not in use. The safety lever doubles as a dust cover by preventing foreign objects from entering and possibly damaging the rifle’s mechanism.


LOADING
1. To load the magazine, place a round between the magazine lips and press down firmly so that the cartridge snaps into place beneath the retaining lips (Fig. 4). Check to make certain that the bullet tip does not protrude beyond the front portion of the magazine when it is seated into the magazine well. Repeat this procedure until the magazine is full. Maximum capacity of the magazine is thirty (30) rounds. Do not attempt to load more than thirty (30) cartridges as this may damage the magazine spring.

CAUTION
Damaged or bent magazine shell guides will cause malfunctioning. DO NOT FORCE CARTRIDGES.
2. To load the rifle, insert the magazine into the magazine well by hooking the from portion of the magazine into its proper notch located at the front of the magazine well. Push the magazine up and rearward at the same time until the magazine locks into place (Fig. 5).

WARNING
Always remember to unload the chamber after removing the magazine.
Never point a firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Keep your fingers off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
Never leave a firearm cocked and ready to fire. It could be discharged accidentally.
Never fire any rifle with any part of your body over or next to the ejection port or in any position where you could possibly be hit by the movement of the action.
Never allow others to stand beside you where they may be hit by an ejected cartridge case. Make certain there is an unobstructed path for safe ejection of the fired case.

INTRODUCTION

This manual contains necessary blueprints and manufacturing information to make a semi automate AK-47 or similar AK design into a select fire, fully automatic weapon (Select fire means the weapon has a lever that allows the operator to fire the weapon in either one shot bursts, or may select to fire the weapon in the fully automatic mode).

DEFINING THE TERM “SIMILLAR WEAPON”

There are many different manufacturers from different countries trial use the AK-47 design. Conversions #1 and #2 should work on the following rifles:

Valmet…………………………………….Any Caliber
Galil…………………………All Calibers Except .308
Winchester (7.62X51 mm)
Yugoslavs………………………………Any Caliber
Hungarian………………………With (7.62 X 39mm)
Maadi……………………………With (7.62 X 39mm)

Please Note: Due to the large amount of “similar weapons” all are not listed.

The above information has been provided just as a guide, before you attempt to modify any “similar” AK weapon, be very sure that the internal parts are the same as the original.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

STEP#1 Get the proper license and approval from the U.S. Government B.A.T.F.

STEP #2 Purchase an AK-47 full auto kit.

STEP #3 Read through the book several times so you are familiar with each step of the

STEP #4 Acquire the tools and equipment needed.

STEP #5 Note: This step is very important! If you are not completely familiar with the design and function of the trigger disconnector assembly, you should study it very carefully. Make diagrams, take still pictures or even video tape the location of all of the various parts. Whatever it takes, you must be able to reassemble the complete trigger mechanism.

The most common method of conversion is to purchase the required select fire parts kit. This includes the disconnector, hammer, auto sear, auto seat spring and pin. You must also drill the receiver to install the new auto sear. The location of this sear is quite critical and the holes must be drilled exactly m their proper location. One way to do this is to purchase a template and simply follow the instructions provided with it.

FULL AUTO PARTS KIT
A. Pin
B. Hammer
C. Disconnector
D. Auto Sear
E. Spring

STEP1

If you do not have a template, use the dimensions on the drawing of Figure 1.

A. With the holes marked and center punched, use a small drill (1/8″ or smaller) to drill a pilot hole. Check to make sure that the holes are in their proper location.

B. Drill a 7mm or 9/32″ hole on the left side and a 5mm or No. 11 size hole on the right side.(The safety/selector lever is the right side). Note: If at all possible use the metric drill bits

C. Install the auto sear pin to check proper fit. You may have to trim the length of this, it should fit flush or just slightly beyond the receiver on the right side.

STEP 2
MODIFYING THE BOLT GUIDE RAIL METHOD 1 FIGURE 2

The boll rail on the fight side of the receiver must also be modified. This must be done so the auto sear trip arm will project above the bolt rail, engaging the cam on the full auto bolt carrier.
There are two ways to modify the bolt rail assembly. Method 1 is to completely remove a section of this rail (see Fig. 2). Caution: You should not remove mote that a 1/2” wide section, removing more than 1/2″ may result h the bolt dropping into this opening and jamming the weapon.

MODIFYING THE BOLT GUIDE RAIL METHOD 2 FIGURE 2A

The second way to accomplish this is to create a slot that the trip lever arm of the auto sear will pass through. This slot method is the best way, but takes a little more work. It also works better on the second conversion method included in this book, as the length of the slot can be made longer to accommodate the altered angle of the auto sear. The length of the slot can be increased to end just above the rivit location, which, is reworked to accept the auto sear.

1. To create this slot you must drill a series of holes with a 1/16” drill. Caution: This must be done slow and easy so you do not break the drill bit or distort the holes.

2. With a file or dremel tool, remove the metal between the holes (see Fig. 2A). You may find it easier to drill up from the magazine well when drilling these holes.

3. You must also remove the side portion of the rail directly below the series of holes, allowing the auto sear lo rest against the inside of the receiver.

STEP3
REWORKING THE SAFETY
LEVER STOP
FIGURE 3

This stop must be bent out at approximately a 45 degree angle. Place a piece of metal approximately 1/8″ thick behind this stop and against the receiver. Now with a small hammer, bend the stop so it is parallel with the side of the receiver. The safety lever now is also the selector lever. Now the selector lever will pass between this slop and the receiver (Fig. 3).

STEP4
CREATING A SELECTOR LEVER DETENT
FIGURE 1

To find the location of the select fire detent, move the safety /selector from the upper most position down to its lowest position passing behind the stop. The safety lever protrusion will automatically create a mark against the receiver, showing its arch of travel. You may need to move the safety lever several times to easily see the mark. Locate the dimension 1.060 along the arch measured from the top of the receiver, as in drawing, Figure 1. The safety/selector lever will now click into a third position which is just below the semi automatic position.
After you have found the location, you must create a detent that the selector lever will set into (on most guns this is an elongated groove). You may wish to duplicate this detent by using a standard rotary file, readily available for dremel tools. This detent can be created by using 1/4” drill bit and drilling just into the metal.
Caution: Do not drill through the metal. For the location of this detent, see Figure 1-A.

STEP 5
FULL AUTO VS SEMI AUTO BOLT CARRIERS

To complete the conversion, your rifle roust have a full auto bolt carrier. Many AK or ‘similiar” rifles imported into the U.S. have a full auto bolt carrier, but were manufactured as semi auto weapons. At this point you must determine if your rifle has a full or semi auto bolt carrier. The full auto bolt carrier will have the projecting cam surface as shown in Figure 6.
If your bolt carrier does not already have the ramp or cam as in Figure 6, it is a semi auto bolt earner and must be modified.

MODIFYING THE SEMI AUTO BOLT CARRIER
METHOD 1 FIGURE 6

The semi auto bolt carrier does not have the auto sear cam surface on the right side, so one must be created. To do this simply build up the surface by welding, which can easily be done with a wire welder. Fill this area in with weld, then grind off the excess.

See Figure 6.

MODIFYING THE SEMI AUTOBOLT CARRIER
METHOD 2 FIGURE 6

This cam surface can be created by grinding a separate piece of hardened steel, which is then placed onto the carrier, as in Figure 6 and silver soldered into place. This method will give you years of trouble free service.

STEP 6
REASSEMBLY

The final step in your conversion to select fire is to reassemble your rifle using the parts provided in the full auto parts kit. Do not reuse the semi auto hammer. Assemble the trigger disconnector assembly.

You are ready to check the timing of the bolt with the movement of the auto sear, which should release the hammer when the bolt is approximately 1/16″ to 3/32″ from being completely closed. If adjustment is needed, simply add to or remove some of the ramp or cam surface that was added to the bolt carrier in the previous steps.
