Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. try Ready Tactical. i have found them very good for IDPA using my Tango Lim Pro
  2. Just FYI, I have seen 3 AR9 BCGs with loose gas key bolts, one of those sheared off the rear bolt. One was a side charger and the other two standard. I think the problem is in the staking of the bolts, not the type of charging handle.
  3. I got a quick reply from the guys at Spinta and they are sending out 2 new pins and springs. They were very accommodating.
  4. Just broke my Spinta FP after 1200 rounds or so. Are AR9 pins interchangeable ? Should a JP pin fit other generic BCGs?
  5. 147gr xtreme with 3.2 WST or N320 work well in my PCC at 1.14. Both around 132 PF. I am now trying 165gr xtreme with 3.0 WST or 2.9 N320 at 1.135 and it too is around 130 PF with a little less dot movement than the 147s. If power factor is not an issue, 124 gr xtreme's with 3.0 WST is pretty amazing as far as dot movement, but only around 105PF. All cycle fine in my gun, but none of them would cycle an MPX.
  6. I should note that I didn't go to a 165 searching for softer recoil in the PCC gun, the 147s were fine. I had switched to 165s in my pistol and did not want to have to load two different rounds for routine shooting
  7. I have put around 1000 rounds of 165gr xtreme's down range in my 16 inch gun. They are the softest rounds I have used (I have also used 147s with 3.3 grains WST or N320). I used 2.8 gr of N320 and 3gr of WST with the 165s, giving me about 130 PF. One note is that my 147gr bullet is a .357 and the 165s are .356. I have always found the .357 bullets to shoot more accurately in my pistols. I do think that the 147s are more accurate, at least in this load, out of my PCC, however, both group very well at 25yds. I need to test out to 50 and 100 soon. I suspect the 165s will drop a good bit at 100. If that is the case I may very well work up a lighter bullet load for 3gun type distance shooting, much like I do with my 223. For USPSA distances,fast follow up rules the day.
  8. Ok, put the comp on the gun and got significant improvement in dot movement, almost no upward movement, still some side jump. Then I tried some 165gr xtreme fmj bullets with 2.9 gr WST and got more improvement still. My son was able to do some .11 splits using this combo, I could not duplicate that.
  9. Using 147 gr xtreme at 135PF( 3.2 gr wst) I have found that the JP 308 spring and the blitzkreig hydraulic buffer is the best combo so far for me with a Spinta Bcg . I tried it with an AR15 spring; 308 spring and standard buffer; and AR 15 spring and standard buffer and none were as flat as the hydraulic buffer and 308 spring. i plan to try 165 Xtreme with 2.8 gr wst tomorrow with above combos. I now also have a comp on the gun, which might change things some.
  10. Tanfos are very sensitive to different ogives. You can load XTreme FMJs pretty long and get away with it(1.15 or so) but when using FPs you have to shorten up a lot since the bullet profile engages the rifling early.
  11. I load to around 132 PF generally, 3.3 grains of WST using a 147 xtreme. I have to up it to 3.4-5 in the summer . I have seen 20fps swings, but no more than that. No big deal and now I just stay with 3.4 gr and have been safe.
  12. Great 9mm minor powder. The biggest downside is that it is very inverse temperature sensitive
  13. If the safety was adjusted to the sear then it was likely over adjusted. I too adjust the safety and not the sear when fitting new parts and if u are not careful you can take too much material off the safety and the result is what you have now. I do just the opposite and adjust it until it functions but stays firm when moving it to the on position. Of course you can take too much off the sear, also with the same result.
  14. since i have that upper now, i can attest to its accuracy
  15. I've been having issues with poor feeding on slide lock reloads lately and think it might be the k9s. At first I did not think so ,since it occurred randomly with several mags, but when I checked them, the measurements were all over the map. I tuned them up a bit and we will see.
