  1. If using a manual mill... Drill holes where pins would go... Then either thread holes and screw in pins or press fit pins.. In either case use good loctite.
  2. That's really clever, I love the innovation. I'd like to see the inside of the action. The regulations may suck there but y'all haven't let them stop you.
  3. This.... I ran an open gun in 9 major with an upright cmore for many years. It could be made to work with careful tuning of ejector and extractor particularly with careful selection of brass headstamp. However when useful window sized mini red dots became available there was no reason to put a full sized cmore on a open pistol anymore. I used the romeo3 max for several years and liked it other than having to send a couple of them back to sig for issues for the buttons stopping working or then blinking out under recoil after awhile. I have moved to the FTP alpha and the Holosun 507 comp as my current dots.
  4. 507 comp on frame mount on my open gun... Replaced a Sig romeo max... Have 1k rounds on it. Plan to shoot for this year.
  5. They have been allowed at least since 1999 (that's as far back as I go) but I know when I took my cro class in the portion on stage design the instructor discouraged them due to the potential issues and difficulty of ROing them.... I know in the last 10 years they have become far more common.
  6. Yep middy with 2 barrel ports and a 3 port BE comp is an excellent combination... Particularly if you use something like shooters world major or AA7 that makes enough gas to run it.
  7. If recall correctly it was Springfield Armory who tried that with 'racegun' or it may have been guns and ammo?
  8. And you won't be able to until you've made some contributions to the discussions...
  9. A mill makes things much nicer but it you have a decent set of calipers, a sharpie, and a center punch to do the layout work and then check it against your mount before you drill, you can do it pretty easily with a decent drill press (at least to the level of precision required for a red dot frame mount.)
  10. Yea Hs6 works fine, it's just on the faster end of the slow powders (just like Aa7 or shooters world major are on the slow end of powders that's work to load for major)
  11. HS6 is a good bit faster than Aa7 (compare the charge weights to go major)
  12. And there's someone who just might know something
  13. Shooters world major varied greatly by lot. Some lots were faster. Some slower. At least one lot was so slow you just about couldn't make major with it in some configurations of gun. But so long as you could get enough of one lot it wasn't that big if a deal (just work up your load and pay attention to what the brass was telling you.
  14. And gone... Shame I don't need 45 bullets (which they do have in stock)
  15. Yea I got a notice from shooter's connection last summer that they had them in stock. I immediately bought one to match the ones on my open guns. Till that point they had been out of stock for over a year.
  16. I have been through 3 of the Max version of the dot on my open gun so far most of them lasted between 6 and 10k rounds. The 4th which is on the gun started blinking out sometimes (a symoptom which one of the others had exhibited. Other than having them fail prematurely they were an excellent dot. I've decided I don't want to have to deal with this anymore so I've just replaced it with a 507 comp to see if I can live with that. But previously I was willing to live with lack of longevity as the dot worked well for me otherwise.
  17. Yea that's what I was wondering, if the shank of the barrel is a loose fit in the bore of the upper, the barrel can shift around in the upper regardless of the barrel nut being tight. But there can be other reasons for it. But if you have tried 3 barrels if it's not the upper I'm not sure what to think.
  18. Is the barrel a good fit in the upper reciever. Is the barrel nut torqued ok? Is the crown of the barrel ok? Have you tried shooting it without the muzzle device? Those are things I check with any AR type firearm that won't group.
  19. Depending on your gun some powders work better for some folks than others.... For instance I currently use AA7(and shooters world major when I could get it) Silhouette is second Hs6 I don't particularly care for. Just have to try different things to see what works for you.
  20. Has anyone gotten any from them lately? I've checked several mornings and haven't seen anything come into stock.
  21. I ended getting one from shooters connection a few months back when they were in stock, but I think they sold out pretty quickly.
  22. Thx for the heads-up.. They were down to 5 in stock when I just checked. I guess this means he got his CNC set back up after his move?
