Update, I decided on a 5" sight tracker.
-
Anyone have any experience with these? Looking to pick one up to play with and use as a back up to lim ten and occasional carry.

Do yall notice any difference in recoil say compared to a five inch?
-
I have an opportunity to have a 2011 6 inch built for me, for around 1600. That seems like a good deal to me, He does build quality gun and I already have two 5 inch 2011's from him. One in 9 and the other in 40.
Ive heard good things about them but have never shot one. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Ive searched but didn't find anything. What combinations work the best to mitigate it. I already use comps but do full auto bcg vs semi auto bcg make a difference? what about running different buffer weights? I know a midlength gas system helps alot. Basically what im getting at is I have a 10.5 that shoots extremely flat with no recoil, but my 16 inch is set up for the most part the same but it has more recoil. Ive switched lowers and bcgs in the 16inch from the 10 inch to see if that was it but I really didn't notice anything. My theory is the 10 inch has more gases hitting the comp so that makes it more effective. Thoughts?
What is the weight on the 16 inch gun vs the 10 inch. On the 10 inch you have about 24 ounces in optics it looks like, plus a AFG. Weight has an effect on recoil.

That is something I forgot to mention, the shorty is a bit heavier.

IMHO your theory is wrong. The reason the 16" has more recoil than the 10" is because the bullet leaves the barrel faster (because more powder gets burned). Basic conservation of momentum... "for each action there is an equal and opposite reaction".
For a given barrel length and ammo combination, felt recoil can be mitigated by increasing the weight of the rifle, decreasing the reciprocating mass, adjusting the rifle's gas system to change the nature of the gas impulse (e.g. go to a longer gas system, adjustable gas block etc.), and adding a muzzle brake. The oft-cited solution of a heavier bolt carrier has the effect of softening perceived recoil because the impulse is less sharp - more of a shove than a punch. However, to shorten recovery time, you actually want to go to a lighter carrier so as to minimize the reciprocating mass that hits the back of the buffer tube. A lighter carrier should be coupled with an adjustable gas block so you can trim the gas to the minimum. Of course, this also has the potential to make the rifle less reliable, so think carefully.
I see, that makes sense also.

I have one of the safariland 2 shell belt caddies that I've modified to work on the fore arm. The biggest problem with any of the shell caddies that mount on the gun is that the heads are at the same point and its difficult to grab one at a time. I've modified the safariland to allow the one round to sit lower than the other and put the heads staggered.
I'm currently working on a kydex piece that will stagger them and allow you to grab one then the other. I'm also working on one that would hold a single shell and attach to the nordic clamp where a rail would attach.
I'm hoping to have them finalized within the next little bit, it looks promising, just have to get it done.

Do you have any pictures?

24" M2
I like how clean this is. What choke is this?
-
Thanks guys, I think I'll order both models of safarilands and see which would work best.
-
Ive seen the soft version that mounts by the ejection port/barrel. But isn't there a plastic version? Its for a M2 if that matters

I like to make an entry.
-
It just showed up in my email actually. Thanks
-
How long does it take to get the email? I mailed mine Monday, and the squad I want to shoot in is almost full.
-
Kelly, I finally sent my stuff in.
-
Yea, found a deal on gunbroker for an m2.
-
Ive got a new one on the way and Im pretty excited about it. So lets see them.
-
It is pretty close to a stock grip. I did that on purpose, i'll carry this on occasion and didn't want my side raw.

Went with the small circles. Feels good.
-
Ive done it before, I think im going to go very small on this one. its going to take forever.
What Does Your Limited Or Limited 10 Look Like?

Cereakote burnt bronze. Its hard to capture how it really looks in person.
