Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I ran a Gen 2 Glock mag version in a few matches, but ended up selling it for a few reasons. 1. You can not disassemble the receiver to clean and lube the trigger group. 2. The trigger has a lot of creep, and is heavy. 3. The recoil is very sharp. Adding two 7/8" dia. rubber washers helped. 4. Adding optics is difficult and expensive. 5. The front sight windage adjustment is held in place by a spring. 6. The carbine does not have a last round bolt hold open. 7. The factory picatinny/m-lok forearm had to be shimmed to remove any movement. It was fun to shoot after I replaced the front sight post with a Hi-viz fiber front post, but it was difficult to hang with the AR-9s, MPXs, and CZ Scorpions.
  2. Keeping the new bore concentric to the old bore will be very difficult with a vise and drill press. I've tried and I've ruined. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  3. I've wondered why the back of the pcc firing pins are squared off. The standard firing pin is round. Also, standard firing pins to not break as often as the pcc firing pins. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  4. What causes the 9mm firing pins to break? Is it the rapid forward and aft cycling of the bolt, interior geometry of the bolt, or the repeated impact of the hammer? I'm leaning more toward the repeated hammer impacts and possible hammer spring weight. If you have had a firing pin break, who was the manufacturer, and what trigger/hammer/spring setup do you have?

  5. It should be in today. I'll mount it at 12, and see how much it obscures the sight picture through the fastfire. The Fastfire is on a lower 1/3rd mount. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  6. I'm loading a 124gr Xtreme flat nose, over 4gr of TG, seated to 1.14" for my Glocks and 9mm AR. I'm consistently getting 1" groups (5 rounds) at 50 yards. The AR is a KVP/Faxon reamed 16" barrel. I need to shoot for groups and drop at 100 yards soon. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  7. I ordered a Crimson Trace 206 for my 9mm AR. It will be secondary to my Fastfire. Where are you mounting your lasers; 12 or 6 o'clock, 45° offset? What distance are you zeroing the lasers? I've seen where a few guys have zeroed at 10 yards. Currently I'm thinking 12 o'clock, zeroed at 10 or 15 yards for USPSA and outlaw speed steel matches.

  8. Sure it's not lead and carbon build-up? It happens if you are shooting cast/coated/plated bullets in a rough bore or with hot powder. If your comp caught a bullet, your comp would be down range. Or part of your comp will be down range. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  9. I've thought about the Korean Glock drum, but haven't seen or heard of enough people running drums in matches. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  10. 124gr Xtreme plated over titegroup, 1.14" oal, is consistently grouping 1" at 50 yards out of my carbine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  11. Chamber doesn't suck, the short throat sucks. My reamed Faxon/KVP barrel is grouping 1" @ 50 yards with my handloads, and has functioned 100% Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  12. I ended up buying my own Manson reamer for my KVP barrel. I could not find a place that would touch a nitrided barrel for a cost less than a reamer. It was tough. Ended up having to pull the barrel, and use a drill motor. Once you break through the finish, it's a little easier. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  13. My Google skills are not working today. I can find restrictions that limit rifle muzzle brake/compensator sizes, but I can't find anything about Pistol Caliber Carbine muzzle device sizes, for any of the shooting originations. I found a comp I like, but it's .90" dia. I'm wondering if I should stick with a JP or SLR that are .84" dia. Thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  14. Found this on eBay, looks tempting for the price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/152415986094 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  15. Your hammer spring might be too light to power through the firing pin springs in the bolts. It has happened in my AR9 and .22lr AR's. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
