[failure to go into battery after installing Timney Trigger]

that should fix it for sure, I assume you are using the "U" shaped washer as well ? 

Yes i am. It definitely had the issue less today (not every mag) but it’s still doing it. One mag in particular was the worst. I’m thinking the mag springs are hanging up on something

I took the gun apart this morning and the screw that holds the timney sear housing in the Glock housing was loose. With the slide off, there was visible movement in the timney part when i manipulated the trigger. I put some vibratite on the screw and am going to head to the range to test it in a few minutes. 
 

the sig comment was really a non sequitur. I’m curious to see what the hype is about but getting rid of my Glocks isn’t a consideration

I don’t get it, you’ve been shooting a G34 for quite some time, then you can’t get a Timney trigger to work so you’re ready to try a Sig?

have you considered maybe tossing the Timney in the trash and going back to the trigger you’ve used for the past 11,000 rounds and using that?  Or at least use it as a starting point to tweak in a different direction than a Timney???

sounds to me like the Timney is your problem, not the Glock. There are MANY other options for Glock trigger mods and all of them have been in use far longer than the Timney. 
I’m a little ahead of you on this path. I pulled out my Timney a month or two ago and went back to Apex. I couldn’t be happier. 

Oh it’s not a logical move. Just an excuse to try something new. 
 

before the timney I’ve been using a glockstore black yikes connector and Overwatch Precision trigger. Its light but mushy.  I’ve played with the trigger a good bit and it’s still a glock trigger.  It’s the archer not the arrow i know, but i was immediately more accurate with the timney.  
 

I know a few guys who shoot sigs and its starting to feel like I’ve been trying to make my gun perform more like theirs

Some of it might be the tolerance of your frame itself. 

 

I have 2 Timneys installed, one on a 34.4 & 34.3. When I got the first one for my 34.4, I had multiple issues that I couldn't resolve, so I got my backup 34.4 dropped that same trigger in and it ran perfectly first time in. 

 

Got the second trigger for the 34.3, dropped in no problem. 

I had the luxury of multiple Glocks to fall back on, though. 

that’s one of my fears. My participation level isn’t at the point where a dedicated backup gun makes sense so i don’t have another gen 5 to compare

 

 this might be the thing that gets me to try a sig though…

I only shoot factory ammo.  I’m planning on a press as my next significant purchase

With that said…  I don’t really see how your issue is being caused by the trigger. 
 

It sounds more like a recoil/mag spring issue to me. 

I agree, but I’ve pretty much ruled out the recoil spring, and it seems crazy that four extensions and springs from henning and Dawson would all have the same malfunction.

 

 Is there something specific i should look at on the mags?  I’ve tried swapping the extensions to different mag bodies for what it’s worth and the result is the same

Have you tried a different firing pin spring? 

I thought of that, but wouldn’t a heavier (ie: factory) spring make the issue more likely?, since with the timney it’s getting cocked as the slide returns to battery?

[failure to go into battery after installing Timney Trigger]

I just made the switch to CO from Production with my 34.5 MOS.  My current set-up is a glockstore tungsten guide rod w/ 13lb spring, TTI Grand Master spring and connector kit, and SRO on a forward controls design plate.  I have a couple Dawson and Henning magazine extensions.  The gun has about 11,000 rounds through it.  I put about 600 through it with the extensions with no issues. I mostly shoot 147gr Federal American Eagle.  

 

 

A couple weeks ago I installed a Timney Trigger with the red return spring.

In one range trip (about 350 rounds) and one match this past weekend, I basically can't get through a magazine without multiple failures to go into battery.  The slide stops with the top bullet in the magazine stuck against the feed ramp.  Tapping on the magazine or back of the slide gets the round to chamber.  I initially chalked it up to the recoil spring being too light or a magazine issue, but it's still happening after swapping the stock, barely used RSA back in, and it has happened with all of the extensions.  I haven't had a chance to try a stock magazine yet. 

 

I've read through a lot of the big thread on the Timney Trigger, and have searched, and haven't been able to find similar malfunctions happening with the Timney.  I can't figure out how the trigger would cause that kind of malfunction anyway, but it's the only change I've made before the malfunction started.  I appreciate any help or tips you folks might have. 

 

  

[Win Sx2 Field]

In a quick search I found two pages.

Winchester SX2 Topics.

Rich

I've looked through most of those threads, and they're generally someone looking to buy a new gun or some technical issue. I couldn't find any that mentioned a source for SX2 barrels. Winchester wants $500 for one (which is insane considering the gun only cost $600), and I can't find a smooth bore barrel under 26" anywhere else. I figured I'm just not looking in the right place, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction

I just checked Briley, and they have a mag tube extension for $85.

[Win Sx2 Field]

I just bought an AR and would like to try my hand at 3 gun. Looking around here, it seems like my SX2 field model (28" barrel) would be lowsy and, in some cases, illegal. I've looked around for replacement barrels, but haven't found anyone who sells them. I assume I'd also want a mag tube extension. Is there a good place to shop for one? Are there any other major modifications I'd need or want to shoot 3 gun recreationally (I don't have the time or budget to shoot competitively)? I'm a student (and just bought an AR:P) so funds are relatively limited.

Any suggestions are welcome, especially if I'm way off base.

btw, I apologize if I'm being redundant, but I looked through the first 8 or 9 pages of this forum and didn't find the answers to my questions.

edit: Is the 28" barrel really too cumbersome to shoot for fun? I have no doubt that my skills with all 3 guns need to come a long way before I need to worry about being competitive, but I don't want to have a major hindrance either.
