Taccom post awhile ago not to use a crush washer on a AR9 barrel because the barrel wall is thin and torquing on it with a crush washer to time the ports straight up may damage the barrel you might try using a peel washer instead

Have you thought about just getting a cheely mount for it, and selling your old one that'll beat drilling another hole in your gun

Price out everything you’ll need to complete the short block kit, trigger group, grips, sights etc. now add tools and jigs you may need to complete the build, at the very least a good file set and stones. Now add the cost of whatever coating you'll put on it. in the end the cost may be pretty close to their custom guns that cost $2850 and also come with 2 mags.

I just put cardboard over the open top of the case feeder, it seemed to lower the volume

Also Change out the TI firing pin if it has one to steel and use a extra power FP spring

Blue bullets I've been using them for years in everything from my pcc to my old 38 supercomp open guns, no leading, accurate, and it leaves a pretty blue “grease” ring on targets With the sole exception of open, blue bullets were the number 1 bullet used in the last 2 USPSA national survey For all divisions I’ve been promoting them here for so long you’d think they’d send me a t-shirt

Every gun I compete with I built or modified

I under stand your concern my Duty gun was a S&W 5906 and my supplemental was a 3913, I’m a strong believer in KISS, but my main division I shoot is open with a 50oz red dot, huge mag well etc and it worked for me simply because the 5906 is pretty similar in grip angle, SA trigger reset and with the exception of the safety all the controls are in the same place. I was able to switch back and forth easily, in fact I shot my box stock duty gun in limited for years and got a B classification, it damn near got me to A right before I retired we switched to the sig p320 and all of that went right out the window, the guns were just too different if I were you, I’d look at getting a x5 legion again keep it simple, less for the brain to process under stress

I have an adapter somewhere that came with an old Dillon 450 and used it once the idea sounded good but in use all it did was spill powder all over my press with the Dillon powder measure, the powder funnel is always in contact with the case mouth when in use with the adapter the powder funnel just floats in there and every few rounds it’ll get stuck and dump powder all over the press

During the great primer famine I used wolf srp and hated them, they were harder to seat. Plus I’d get 1-2 duds per hundred and yes they were seated properly I ended up using them only in my practice ammo

The only time I reload mine are classifers or standard with mandatory reloads my bolt locks back and I use a bad lever if it is a 6 reload 6 stage, I only load 6 rounds in the mag, , shoot to bolt lock, reload hit the bad lever and engage if it’s an empty gun start, trigger finger on the bottom of the bad lever pushing up, left hand palm on the charging handle, on the beep, left hand shoves the charging handle to the rear, upward pressure on the bad lever locks the bolt open, Grab a mag, load, hit the bad lever to drop the bolt it takes longer than simply ramming a mag home and racking, but it more positive and less chance of having the mag fall out and I love tip of using the table to seat the mag, I gonna try that

Nice write up i got a question, in bright sun light with the Circle/dot turned up all the way, does it look like a Circle or will it flare up enough to look like a dot, I know I’m knit picking but I prefer a nice bright big dot that I can turn down for accuracy instead of a small dot that I can hopefully turn up enough to be useable

That’s what I call instant karma

I remember bagging and unbagging on the line started about the same time the first race holsters showed up, fast but not secure guys would bag the gun instead of risking getting the gun knocked out of the holster

I read on another forum that the owner has health problem and is not taking anymore work

Thanks I’ve thought about doing that, but a straight barrel swap would be easier plus I’ll still be able to switch back to super if the mood arises

I read somewhere on a post here that Al Zitta bought scheumann barrels and was in the process ramping up, I’ve also been looking for a blank rib 4 port length barrel to rebarrel my back up gun in 9 and gave up until I read that shooters connection is selling KKM barrels hybicomp barrels but the rib copies the SVI squarish rib instead of the round scheumann

Techwell has one for the PSA colt lower that works with the cmmg

There’s a guy on eBay that sells one for colt mags i just use a 1x2 with the front corners rounded off for my colt mag lowers

One test to see where it’s hanging us is to remove the recoil spring and plug, reassemble, then load a mag with dummy rounds and hand cycle them through the gun, it will show you where e round is hanging up

Shred nailed as usual also check your extractor tension and the breech face, too Much tension or a rough breech face may slow the round slipping under the extractor hook check if there is a slight radius on the bottom of the extractor hook, again the aid the round to slip under the hook

Damn I must be old, I used both of those when they were the go to state fo the art rigs i still use the double stack mag pouch on my production rig

It’s not just you, and I was wondering the same thing

First time I went to Japan and after a 10 hour flight went straight to the restroom to take a dump, sat down and jumped straight up, WTF the seats hot, that was my introduction to the wonderful world a high tech Toto toilet seats
