[SVI wait time]

Aric has an older 9mm IMM that I sold him and he has two new 9mm IMM coming from the factory. Pretty sure one just shipped this week. 

Apparently Texas got snow and ice yesterday and fedex isn’t running.  Should have it on Tuesday.  I’ll post  photos when it comes in. 

[SVI wait time]

My simple blued IMM that I put a deposit on December 2017 shipped yesterday.  I also put a deposit down on a kooky bull$hit, custom cuts, pink glitter with unicorns IMM gat and I haven’t heard anything from SV about it.

I thought you sold your open gun.

If mine is ready in February it will be 14 months. I’m expecting March though. What are you shooting now? I thought it was an SVI in 38. I know it’s loud!

9mm so I don’t have to chase brass.  

[SVI wait time]

Mine is waiting on final payment and FFL.  About 12-13 months for me.  

[Thumb rest on open guns, experiences....]

I am not sure if I am any faster but I feel like my grip is more consistent with one.  

[Blue Bullets AET Barrel]

My AET barrels liked everything except plated.  

[New 9mm major barrel options]

Any new info on the KKM barrels?  

[SVI wait time]

I ordered mine last December, also.  Last week they said they were ready for my scope.  

[Why are my bullets suddenly tumbling?]

Check the diameter of the projectiles. A few years ago I got a batch that had .399 bullets.  I contacted the manufacturer and they said it’s was within spec.  They were not accurate and had about the same tumble rate as yours.  

[Mr bullet feeder ball bearing bearing?!?!?]

I found out that mine functions perfectly with two.  

[Sig MPX KAK adapter and Magpul UBR 2.0]

The screw isn’t present on the UBR 2.0.

[Sig MPX KAK adapter and Magpul UBR 2.0]

Has anyone tried to install a Magpul UBR 2.0 stock on a MPX with a KAK adapter?  If so, how did you prevent it from spinning on the buffer tube?  It comes with a piece that would prevent it from spinning on an AR type rifle, but here is no where to mate on a KAK adapter.  

[Bolt- MPX]

Is it possible to buy a gen 1 bolt from SIG? 

[3N38 vs WAC for open]

A 9mm case full of 3n38 has a nice recoil in my gun.  A zip tie in my 1050 stopped powder spillage.

[Typical primer loss with Dillon 550]

I have this same failure.  However, my rate is lower than yours.  When everything is clean, it seems to happen less often.  Debris from de-priming finds its way into the priming arm and the primers don’t sit flat any more.  

 

I am fairly sure this is the culprit as my 1050 is 99.99% on priming.  

[Sti mag stick in SV grip]

That is a 140 mag.  

[Sti mag stick in SV grip]

I have two that don't fit and they barely go into the grip before I hit resistance.  

[Sti mag stick in SV grip]

I have two STI magazines that do not fit into one of my SV steel grips.  They work in my other SV steel grips.  I think it weird that they fit in three other steel SV grips, but not the fourth.  

[Uspsa load...sort by headstamp?]

I couldn't notice a difference between sorted and un-sorted in 40 major or 9 minor.  However, I could feel a difference with sorted brass in 9 major.  If you can't feel a difference and they all make power factor, it isn't worth sorting.  

[Sti mag stick in SV grip]

Has anyone been able to fix STI mags that stick in steel grips? If so, what did you do? 

[Magazines]

I have more 170's than 140's.  My logic is:  I drop 170's and they are more likely to get damaged or dirty.  My 140's almost never touch the ground.  

[Excessive "extreme spread"]

interesting - my oal off the press does give me slightly different OAL from 1.158 (which is what it was meant to be set up to) to as long as 1.170; randomly when all stages of the press is full.

 

I tried to put only one case and get it through the entire 4 stages of the press before putting another and this is when I get more consistent OAL exactly to what it was meant to be at 1.158. The press is an SDB, scratching my head as to why and how to solve that.....

 

When I am done loading, I stop leaving brass in each station.  That way when I start loading again I don't have shorter arounds until all the stations are loaded.  

[Excessive "extreme spread"]

How consistent is your oal?  Are you using the same head stamp?  

 

I was loading my 40 at 1.20.  However I was getting a large velocity spread.  I changed my oal to 1.185 and my velocity spread came down to 10fps+\-.   I chambered Several rounds and then measured their oal.  The oal's were all shorter after clambering.  I think at that length, there wasn't enough purchase on the projectile.
