Ditto. Reasonable price and reasonable turnaround time.

I shoot 60 Grain VMAXs over 23.2 grains of H335 into one inch holes with a Burris XTR 1-4 out of my 14.5 DD barrel.

I should have been more specific... I use the 14.5" AR for cruising around the ranch in the golf cart thinning the ferral hog population and such. White tail and Nilgai rifle is chambered in 6.5 SAUM.

Play Gun: 18" Hybrid contour 1:8 Barrel AAC Muzzle Brake Geissele 3GN Trigger JP Low Mass BCG Seekins adjustable gas block 15" Samson Rail 1-4 Burris XTR Scope Home Defense, Hunting, Everything else Gun: 14.7" M4 Contour 1:8 Barrel AAC Mini-4 Suppressor Geissele SSA-E Trigger Mil-Spec BCG non-adjustable gas block 13" Wilson Rail Aimpoint T-1 Red dot TLR-1 Light Magpul Sling So no, not the same for me. I have run my everyday gun in 3-Gun competitions and it is really fun! However I can go much faster with the lightened BCG and brake than I can with the standard BCG and suppressor. I usually only shoot factory out of the everyday gun. I load a 60gr VMAX for the competition gun that is a little more mild than factory. Hence the adjustable gas. -Shaky

Is first place the JP or Boomfab?

Just installed one with a new Criterion 18" barrel and a new JP Low Mass BCG. Easy to install and works great. I shot my first match with it on Saturday and everything worked perfect. No malfunctions of any kind. I am running Atlanta Arms and Ammo reman. 60 Gr. VMAX. I have the same gripe as everyone else... If the set screw were facing forward, I could adjust and set the gas without having to take off the hand guard. As it is, it takes some time. -Shaky

All good news! Thanks, Guys!

I just ordered an 18" Criterion Barrel from Brownells. The barrel is the hybrid contour and has a rifle length gas system which I have never used. My plan is to use a Seekins adjustable block, carbine buffer tube, spring and buffer, and a low mass carrier of some brand. (I'm leaning towards JP right now) I also have a Miculek comp in the shop that I will start with. Does this sound right? Can I use the carbine buffer parts with rifle gas? I have read a ton of threads, but somewhere along the line I got confused. Thanks in advance! Shaky

How are you guys polishing the spring and buffer tube? Thanks!

Mine was first focal plane and the reticle disappeared completely at 1x when trying to shoot fast. Illumination wasn't daylight bright. The scope didn't "disappear" at 1x when you went to start shooting like how my Vortex does. I always "saw" the tube when shooting if that makes sense. I got the SFP model and had the same problem with the scope not "disappearing" at 1X. After a few trips to the range, I figured out I needed to adjust the diopter more and the problem went away. I'm really pleased with the scope now. Glass is great, I love the turrets and the scope feels like it is ready to take a bunch of abuse. Just my.02 -Shaky

I have 2000 60 Gr. VMAX and an 8 pounder of H335. Is anybody using these components for their 3-gunning? I'm looking for a good load in a 16" AR. I'm running 23.2 grains right now but it is only doing 2650 in my gun. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! -Shaky

You have fed close to $50K in ammo through that gun... and people think the gun is the expensive part. Just Sayin'

It did come with some Velcro. I'll give that a try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone have a picture of where they mounted the Matchsaver on a Remington Versamax? I'm ready to install, but would like to see what others did first. Thanks!

I just got mine back from Triangle yesterday. I sure am glad I had them do the work instead of trying to do it myself. I was not going to change out the lifter, but I'm glad they talked me into it! There is no way to catch my thumb in there now. I did about 20 quad loads last night with dummy rounds, and man what a difference! They slide in the magazine like a groundhog getting back in his hole. Another really nice thing is that I can now unload the magazine by depressing the shell latch. No more cycling rounds to unload. I'm super pleased with the work. If the Triangle folks want to chime in on costs for these upgrades, they can. I will just say that the price was VERY reasonable. i.e. A lot less than I was expecting. I'll get her out this weekend and do some live fire drills, and let you know how it goes. Here are a few pics. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
