Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. They aren't recommended for Open guns. There are some out there with many, MANY thousands of rounds on them, but still not recommended. Open guns are simply very violent compared to a Limited gun.
  2. 2 hrs 36 minutes and the match is full! That's got to be a record. Loved this match last year, looking forward to it this year.
  3. I know one of the guys who shot PCC at this match, and smoked this stage, ran Hornady HAP bullets through his MPX. He's also spent quite a bit of time in load development for accuracy and runs PCC in many/most 3G matches now instead of a rifle. Also, I think that plate rack was closer to 80 yards than 100.
  4. I think that depends on whether the shooter is coming from a USPSA or 3G background with their PCC.
  5. Neither of mine have the poppel holes in a V pattern. I have three hole on top of the barrel. Many others do in the V pattern. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. First one had two top ends. 9 Major and 38 SC. Both very tight fitting and barrel locks up properly. Made on Phoenix Trinity components with a Classic grip. Second one is very similar, but 38 SC only. PT EVO grip, and went to Vortex Venom red dot instead of CMore. Both guns use Trubor barrels with comp blanks on them. He machines his comp in. No Loc-tite, no set screws, and they aren’t coming loose. Both are great guns, and function extremely well. Glenn’s fit and finish work are top notch. Yes, he can take a little while to build, but very good quality. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. He's done two Open guns for me and both run great.
  8. The Lucas Oil (assume it is the green Extreme Duty) is fine at that temperature. Adding Slide Glide (a grease) will really increase the viscosity, which *could* be an issue.
  9. I've had the 6 MOA frame mounted on mine for about a year. Love it. Had the 3 MOA, but it was a little too small for me. Moved that one to a 45* offset sight on my rifle.
  10. I've been very happy with my Firebird Precision TAC-12A1. Make sure your mag feed lips are tuned to the right width, run an ammo with a good stiff hull and crimp (I have stuck with Fiocchi), and make sure the gas is adjusted right (not bleeding off too much). In an AK pattern, it is undeniable that Mike & Lan at Dissident Arms have their guns running like raped apes.
  11. This is a cut and paste from Ken Johnson, posted in a reloading Facebook group. Ken is the ballistician for Shooters World Powders, and extremely knowledgeable about all things reloading. Shooters World has just introduced a new powder to be used in similar applications as Varget. I don't see this on Powder Valley's site yet, but I suspect it will be in the same price range as other 8# canisters of Shooters World powders when it gets there. I can tell you that other powders of theirs are the real deal, and I expect nothing different from this one. "Well.....we just completed numerous test loads of a new propellant. And we compared this new propellant to Hodgdon Varget. We're calling the new stuff "Precision Rifle". I'd have preferred "Target", but I guess that name was taken! In every test load we've worked up, "Precision Rifle" has performed to within 25 fps from the alternative, Varget. And the pressure level of Precision Rifle corresponded identically to Varget also. In other words, "Same charge weight, same velocity, same pressure." So far, we've tested .223 REM, .308 WIN, .30-30 WIN, 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 REM, .300 WIN MAG, .30-06, all with several bullet weights. I just finished some extreme temperature testing this morning, because we KNOW everybody's going to be all hot and bothered about the temperature sensitivity. As for me, I don't see it as a big deal...but some folks do! And we aim to please. So, by my calculations, I witnessed Varget velocity change at 0.13 fps/degree F. And the Precision Rifle velocity change was 0.09 fps/degree F. I shot all loads today at a maximum temperature of 150F. Ambient temperature for the day was 50F. Now, what's a bigger deal for me, is that in each and every test of comparison, the velocity range and standard deviation of Precision Rifle was better than the alternative. Those numbers speak to me. Another thing I liked about this propellant was that my Harrell Powder Dump was really consistent in dropping charge weights. It was seldom that I had to trickle additional grains into the pan, after a dump. That's a time saver for me, and I'm sure a time saver for hand loaders as well! Being that this propellant is of the same burn rate as the alternative, and that we've tested it in numerous loads against this other popular powder...found it to have similar or better temperature sensitivity...and similar or better range and standard deviation...I wonder how soon we'll launch it?? Some of you may be following Shooters World propellants. We're a team of competitive shooters, who want to help other shooters. We don't play golf. We are not overly keen about sitting around in board rooms. We live, eat and breathe smokeless powder, and shooting. You can read about us and our products at www.shootersworldsc.com"
  12. Direct from Phoenix Trinity. www.ptrinity.com.
  13. Do you mean a Cape magwell? If so, they'll fit very easily. That is the preferred magwell for PT's owners and their son.
  14. Has anyone tried the 2A Armament Regulated Bolt Carrier seen here? A lot about it seems really intriguing. Titanium carrier body (available in QPQ Nitride) with the rear portion of the body 7075-T6 aluminum. Adjustable gas in the BCG, adjusted right through the ejection port. Total weight 5.95 oz, with bolt.
  15. He keeps some die blanks on hand and finish grinds them as orders come in. Typically 2-3 days turnaround to ship is what he told me when I talked to him.
