They got me squared away I beleive. Nice people to talk to. With new Gen Pmag I need to chamfer at the top on the sides of the extension a little ,and that should do it. As it is: it will work you just have to fiddle with it while loading. bullets come out fine.

[My new Gen Pmag with Nordic extension: hard to load]

After the first 30 I have to jiggle the heck out of the lower part to get it to pass additional rounds.

Is this normal?

[How to make rifle buffer lighter ?]

Have standard equipment in rifle stock. I would like to purchase a LMOS carrier , and then reduce weight in my existing buffer.

I read about taking out weight and replacing it with plastic spacers, and delrin.

I have no idea what spacers, and delrin looks like.

Is there something I can go to Home Depot for example, and purchase.

[PPC load recommendation]

Wonder if a certain bullet is favored for accuracy?

[MSTN Quiet comp holes on top?]

Why have the 3 holes drilled on top at a 1 o'clock on the right side. When doing quick doubles or like yesterday getting to put as many as you can rounds on a moving target traveling aprox 50 feet one way then back again it seemed the muzzle was getting pushed to the left.

[Titegroup load for IPSC]

5" STI 180g Bear Creek 4.5 TG 1.17 oal

[SVI/STI .40sw Spring Combination?]

Was 12.5 spring with 17 main but recently I changed the recoil spring down to 10# and thinkin I like better.

[Trying to look through vapor/smoke haze through scope]

Both factory and hand loaders I talked to had same problems when shooting multiple targets from same position. Its the hot gases hitting the cold air mostly IMO, so I was hoping someone had found a balance of things in their set up that would limit the haze.

[3 gun at night?]

Sorry,wrong forum.

[Trying to look through vapor/smoke haze through scope]

Its like shooting black powder at times. Wondering what the thoughts out there for limiting it. Placing light further back from end of barrel, using less or more magnification, and or the more lumens the more haze although atleast 200 lumens are best at my annual match to see targets out past 100yds.

I have shot the match with both 225 lumens and 350 lumens on a 18" CTR02 with TA31 and cooley break , 125 lumens on a 7.5 MSTN upper with EO-tech and pig FH, and last SAT a 225 lumens on a 10.5 Noveke upper with Vortex FH and a EO-tech with 3X mag behind it.

In all cases a chore to see at times. I do have one specific question, is this a problem for iron class shooters also?

[135 GR .40 Minor Loads?]

I settled on a 140gr molly @ aprox 1.148 oal with 4.0gr of TG comming in at aprox 125pf or less in a 5" STI. The AVG was 856 fps with a ES of 52. If I went less the ES got a lot worse and very much more dirty. It shoots very nice with a 10" ISMI spring.

I'm thinking Clays is going to be better but am stuck with TG for now.

[Recoil Spring]

With that PF try a Bill Drill with a 11lb and a 12.5lb .

[Para-Ord 16.40]

1.170 to 1.180

[IDPA legal belt?]

Went from the 1.5 Wilderness to the 1.75...If you have any kind of gut what so ever its more comfortable.

[What are you running for your main holster ?]

CR Speed for Open

I have a BT DOH for my limited gun that they custom made for me with some extra features.

Okay I gots - ta know.

[What are you running for your main holster ?]

DOH for limited, 3-gun, and steel... I just change to differ belt and mag holders for some matches.

[which lb spring to use]

I tried that exact load aswell and was to close to PF at 1.174 to 1.180 oal IMO ,but it functioned the gun fine with a 12.5 ISMI.

[Is a 11lb ISMI spring to light for 167 to 169 PF load]

Ran the 11lb spring today and everything worked. I still need to do a bill drill to see if I'm where I want to be at warp speed but so far so good.

[Is a 11lb ISMI spring to light for 167 to 169 PF load]

Running out of bullets and money shooting a tactical match tomorrow no PF required I have the above low PF loads available but havent been using them in favor of my decided apon USPSA load of 175 to 176 PF but have to save for next IPSC match...With the lighter loads didnt like the recoil impulse or lack of so had been using them only for practice ,but now need them tomorrow for match so I thought by switching from a 12.5lb spring to a 11lb might help. Dont know why I handnt thought of trying this before,but to late to test.

[Need Mag Springs For 140mm STI mags]

Used to be Grams for 19rds in most mags then Dawson follower with ISMI spring for 20rds ,and now Bolen spring and follower for 21.

I know others with super tuned mags have gotten more in all cases, but this is how its been for me and I'm okay with it...At my local matches even if I could start with 23 its either to many or still not enough anyway.

[Anyone load 180 molly W/clays @ approx 1.170 oal]

Any problems with metering with a Dillon 650.I'm told that Clays has twice as large flakes as TG?

[Which Chronograph To Buy]

The Hell with it. I shot my ProChrono Digital and thought I should consider another brand/model but after reading all the different pros and cons for the cheapest all the way up to the most expensive Chronos its to crazy.The so called better chronos seem to have as many problems as the cheap ones if you read this thread,so I ordered another ProChrono Digital. Atleast as far as I know it worked fine and cheap also.

[180gr MGB JHP]

I'm getting a 173 to 175pf W\5" STI using 4.5 TG and 180 molly @ 1.170 OAL avg.

[Cant get STI beaver tail to work .]

This video may or may not help you, but it's what I used to earn how to reassemble my 1911. I don't own any STI pistols, so I don't know if this will help.

Chris

Thanks thats a big help.One question though.I could of sweared that I had that leaf spring in the correct position without taking my ambi safety off or the beaver tail,so is this possible or I'm I wrong and the beaver and ambi have to be off to correctly seat the leaf spring?

[Bolen mag base question with 126mm tubes]

Thanks thats got it.
