I have a hard time thinking why would someone want to put $4k into a beretta open gun. I was going to assume the cost would be much lower? What's the appeal?

Isn't the V1 a slide ride?

I would like to like this post Well said

hoping for better contrast

So back to the turbo comp. I was not exactly trying to show awesome muzzle blast - but lazy blast/flame from the turbo ports. I think it is a cool feature but not sure it is really very effective in reducing muzzle rise. In the blast pic above the lazy flame coming out of the front side port is the turbo port. That flame looks like a cigarette lighter flame compared to the blast coming out of the pop holes and top of the comp. Here is close up pic of that comp. The turbo ports are the front round holes. The turbo port blast gasses has to make 3 turns inside the comp before exiting. Nothing against the design but if your choice is barrel porting pop holes or turbo comp the pop holes are going to give you the most gas possible to keep the gun flat. Now cool factor is another thing. If I was buying a new gun from this builder I would still want the turbo ports - because if it says turbo on the side of your gun you will shoot faster!!!

Interesting. Once upon a time I took my MP5, MPX, blow back AR and scorpion to do recoil testing. My plan was to shoot and feel. I did some videoing too. Much to my surprise I could see the recoil. I had on a tank top and you could see the difference in recoil based on how much the meat in my arm and shoulder moved. MPX and MP5 were pretty close in mild recoil where the blow back AR had more and scorpion was the worst (the scorpion was also the lightest). It felt that way and visual aid confirmed what I perceived. It would be neat to show something like that with your system. Same gun shooter ammo etc. Just swap the roller buffer in and see the difference - just need a dude with a manly arm

I got the email from SC about the preorder My first thought was that expensive considering I'd probably want to replace the stock, grip, trigger, forearm, add a new optic and laser beam etc. Very close to open money with a quick I want to upgrade list...

Yep - With AA7 powder

Here is the Limcat with a turbo comp I had. The lazier looking flame coming out of the front is from the turbo ports. This is 9X19 major

I have never had a problem with MPX or MP5 mags. I suspect the CZ scorpion mags might be sweet too.

I couldn't see your video - it says it is set to private. Our club had enough interest and starting let people run PCC for the second gun around 2008. This is with the ol rock river running colt mags. Good times! https://youtu.be/Z8jllCLflCE

I don't have one of these guns but watching the video it look like the bolt ejects the empty, the next round seem to jump straight up out of the mag before the bolt has a chance to push it forward. The bolt and extractor never hook up with that round and instead stop on the second live round in the mag. How far does a round need to move forward to be released from the mag? If it is recoil induced is it happening with the mag completely full, nearly empty or any round count? I think your onto the right thing bending the feed lips and I too would be concerned about an extractor primer detonation. If softer recoiling ammo does the trick is there some sort of mag spacer you could put in there to keep the rounds from moving forward in recoil in the mag? Good video!

I really like the hyperfire trigger but did get a cmc here off the forums and have been impressed for a lower cost option. I also agree with the dry fire dojo comment - in a match you might not tell the difference. I tried a stock 15-22 trigger in a couple steel matches and don't think I could tell it had a 6lb pull when running it fast

For the most part ARs are legos for adults. Mix match build have fun

I tried Chrome and Microsoft explorer on computer neither would let me on. My phone had an option to continue but warrened its unsafe. Must be all the pcc shooters!

Long range plinking "pistol"

I wonder if it is about how the shroud that goes around the slide for holding the gun against the barricade mounts to the frame?

Maybe 5/8X36 should be the magic 9mm thread pitch. Thicker at the muzzle and no putting the 30 cal accessories on a 9mm gun.

0.06" LOL -aluminum foil barrels?

Lots of differences when you start looking at parts they are built with. And unlike the AR changing gas blocks and front sights are difficult and the desirable imported part are $$$. Arsenal and Zastava are both still imported and good guns. Looking at the chinese and Russian guns that had been banned from importation have increased in value due to availably. Banning the importation of foreign weapons is something the current admin could do by executive order and in part why these two brands have become scarce. If you keep an eye out at atlantic firearms they do come in stock and sell out quick. I think people are just buying them and relisting on GB for more.

Curious if there were equipment discussions about changing anything in CO when updating the rules - Like adding a mag well? How about for the CZ shooters in CO or production having to use SA/DA? Did these topics even come up?

I would imagine since we are only cutting brass the blade life will be very long. I have been doing small batches too and have not let the blade cool but have not done that many total so I am just making an assumption on blade life.

I don't think your primers look bad. For comparison I just did a ladder in 7 mag with CCI LR#200 primers because I don't have and can't find any LR mag primers. I was watching for pressure very closely and saw none and very little change from my starting to max load
