[The dreaded broken slide screw]

Glock 34, broken mos plate screw. Head popped off. I've done all the usual things that's 

supposed to work, drilled, heated, easy out, etc. Now there is a hardened piece of drill 

bit in the hole of the stuck screw, broke off of course. I assume full responsibility for my actions.....lol

 

Does anyone have personal experience with a gunsmith the can fix the screw-up?

Thanks

[stern defense or ar-9 lower]

Just got a stern, several hundred rounds, not a single bobble.

Watch IraqVet8888,  6 to 7 thousand rounds through one full auto, if I remember right.

[Ruger PCC concerns]

On 3/11/2019 at 1:08 PM, dauntedfuture said:

I have a new-sih Ruger PCC that I run alongside my limited gun for USPSA.  I have not done much to the rifle; it does have upgraded trigger and trigger stop as well as muzzle device.  I have reoccurring issues where the bolt appears to go fully into battery and I get a click-not-bang, racking the bolt feeds new round and chambered round does not eject.  The extractor did not catch the rim of the case.  The result is a double feed.  There is no light hit at all, zero, none... on the "original round"  all ammo is checked on case gauge. 

 

Question: What if anything have people done in terms of cleaning/ polishing extractors or bolts etc?

 

Jon

I had the exact same issues with a new ruger pc9. 8 different types of 9mm factory ammo, plus I was getting 4"-6" groups at 50 yds.

Sent it back to ruger and they replaced barrel, barrel block, barrel block screws, bolt, bolt head. Got it back in under 2 weeks.

Accuracy better, mostly 2" groups at 50.

----BUT---- After 40 rds or so, the bolt locked up tight, could not be pulled to the rear. Took the trigger pak out at the range, bolt would slide quite easily, no problem.

Trigger pak back in, locked up tight.

Back to ruger, going on 4 weeks now, curious as to the problem, and if it's a problem for many.

[Versa max or M2 for the wife]

Talked to Remington about new vm competition models claim of recoil of a 20 ga and 3.5" shells.

The lady told me the new comp model has these features but not the regular model vm's.

Wonder what's different in the comp model that would give one the recoil of a 20ga and not the

other vm's?

[Versa max or M2 for the wife]

Okay, went to a couple of stores and handled the VM's and a 1301. The 1301 seems a bit lighter which might equate to a little more felt recoil ,

the quality and looks were top notch, though.

Seems I liked the vm's feel a bit more, (my personal opine), so it is a versa max I'll go with. On remmys site it states the comp model reduces recoil to

that of a 20 ga., and takes 3.5" shells? Is that true of all versa max models or just the competition?

Found a zombie model for $990 is that a decent going price for a vm, the tactical ran around $1200 seems.

Thanks for all your help.

[Versa max or M2 for the wife]

Okay, need to find something for the wife (and me sometimes) to shoot. Looking closely at these 3 shotguns.

Versa max tactical, zombie, or benelli m2. Use,,, plinking, steel, HD, occ. dove, etc. all around shooter.

It needs to be able to handle light loads, due to back surgery, main purpose of new one.

Any advise on these 3 from users will be most appreciated.

Thanks

[The End to Corn in Flash Holes]

I've used corn media for 20 yrs or more with never a flash hole problem. Get the corn media that has the consistency of corn meal, real fine. Comes with or without polish added.

Got a $2 lettuce strainer and a plastic tub. Pour brass and media in the strainer after vibrating and shake it like you're panning for gold. Gets all the media out.

.02 cents worth

[small base dies]

I've used a small base die for over 30 years with no chambering probs. I polish the expander ball down a half thou or so for a good neck fit on the bullet.

Grab a Wilson headspace gage for correct shoulder setback to set your resize die with. A lee factory crimp die if you want more crimp or depending on bullet.

My .02 cents

[Case filling 45acp powder]

Have some solo 1000 on hand,, 5.0 fills the case about half. Tried 10 test loads, full function with the kimber, also have some ww231 with same results,, horn 230 xtp.

Now my stinkin dillon dterminator scale is dying, so no more loading until I find another scale. Not a dillon.

Thanks for the info.

[Case filling 45acp powder]

Been out of the 45 acp business for about 15 years now. Just picked up a sweet Kimber Eclipse Pro. Looking for a powder that fills at least half the case

or more, so there will be less chance of the dreaded double charge (like bullseye) Call me chicken, but you know murphys law. We're good friends. ha

Will be using 200-230gr fmj, jhp. Occ match shooting, mostly paper punching for fun.

Thanks for your help.

[55 & 69 powder]

3rds for H4895, buy an 8lb,er, run a few test loads for the primo powder weight with each bullet, then load to your hearts content, and go SHOOT. Don't get caught up in the endless, countless, variable of which primer, case, powder, bullet, cold outside, hot outside, earth rotation, etc. Been there, done that. GO Shoot and have fun.

[Holster for 34 with light?]

No, I meant 17/34. I knew there would be slim pickins for a G34 light holster so I had hopes that maybe a G17 holster might possibly be available that I could use for the G34. IWB, OWB, looking at options.

Thanks for all the input.

[Holster for 34 with light?]

Anyone have info on a holster for a 17/34 with a light attached for CCW/carry?

Doesn't seem to be a lot of info on these, or I missed it.

Thanks

[static cling]

I use static guard. Comes in a spray can, for clothes originally.

[Brian's BE scale vs. dillon determinator-input pls.]

Just wondering, is the warranty pro rated like a car battery, or even exchange, and will this company be around in 20 years?

Thanks

[Brian's BE scale vs. dillon determinator-input pls.]

I'm sure they are battery only, just wondering how well they work.

[Brian's BE scale vs. dillon determinator-input pls.]

My dillon electronic scale went belly up this morning. I know I can send it in with $85 and get a new one (which still PO's me).

How does Brians BE scale work verus the dillon?

Thanks

[Spring change with heavy loads?]

Glock stock 34 shooting 147gr bullets with solo 1000 using a 14lb spring, do I need to change it back to the factory spring (17lb) to shoot

factory 115 fmj's, or will the 14lb work with both, with no harm to the pistol?

Thanks

[What distance to test loads-advise]

Just wondering if there is a distance that most people test their loads for 9mm?

It's probably "at the distance you shoot targets at" but my 25yd groups are

less than stellar, but closer are better.

Any thoughts and help?

Thanks

[Which chronograph to buy-advise]

JimmyM, I did a search, missed it. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks to others for your advise.

[Which chronograph to buy-advise]

Looks like I need to buy a chronograph, need advise on which one from those of

you that uses them.

Thanks

[Second round of help for S1000 loads]

That be one of the problems, no Chrono, thought maybe someone with a 34 that had been there, done that

with S1000 might offer some suggestions.

Thanks

[If not Varget, then what?]

Glen Zediker, one of the top AR15 guru's in the USA reccomends H4895. I have used it for 30 years and it's still good to go.

.308 also.

[Second round of help for S1000 loads]

Finally got to the range to try a couple of loads.

4.5 S1000

124 gr hornady fmj flat point

WW sp primers

mix brass

3.5 S1000

147 Rem JHP

Both 1.300 OAL

Glock 34 --Tried with fac. recoil spring, wouldn't load or eject 3 outa 10

Installed 13# ISMI flatspring, would eject and load but just barely. Brass would go 1 to 3 feet. Not much poop.

Is this the normal soft load I read so much about, or still need to up the charge a wee bit?

Thanks

PS: Test loads with TG, #7, 231 all loaded and ejected okay.

[34 short cycle problem--advise pls]

SA Friday,

You are correct, production, 34, IDPA, I'm using the 124 fmj due to the fact that I have 1k of them laying around.

Everything else cycles the 34 no problem, white box, blazer, etc. Did some research and came up with lots of

variables on loads, springs, powders. I have some TG, solo1000, WW231, and AA#7 on hand so will

keep at it to get the right loading, and spring weight. Not having a chrony puts a kink in things.

Thanks for your info.
