  1. You will just have to play with OAL and maybe recoil spring until you get it happy. I have a .45 Edge that is smooth as butter and runs thru the 200gr SWC like it's FMJ... Mags may need to be fiddled with, but I didnt have to do anything with the MBX .45 mags at all. Also have a Franken-"Eagle" .45 with an STI lower and Wilson upper that runs great too.
  2. I did something very similar with light Speer bullets and 335 myself. I had a super-light BCG and light buffer/spring assembly in the gun and it ran great until the gun started getting a bit dirty. Like you said, almost no gun movement in "recoil". I think I ran mine over the Chrono with about the same charge and was just over 2000fps out of a 16" barrel...
  3. What about grabbing the top or side of a wall. I guess the question is where the "plane" starts, but I would've assumed that usimg the wall material for support would be legal as well. Make wall of something else if this is a persistent issue...?
  4. Not the first time this has been done. I don't recall who did it before, but I wonder if this is just reviving the old one...? Reach out and ask them via phone or email.
  5. Cool of you to share! I wouldn't have even known to look for it. You should share pics of rifle with comp.
  6. What part of N. AL? Range around NW AL and NE MS. Range near Huntsville. Some stuff in S. TN. Not much in NE AL or NW GA that I know of...
  7. With a traditional AR setup, you also have to have enough bolt/carrier movement to reset the trigger...
  8. Way to own the thread! You are welcome for the perfect setup!
  9. What's the oldest, still active thread in here...? 13yrs seems solid! Somebody tell me to go use the search function...
  10. Sometimes the shiny spots are where the finish gets filled in with whatever it has rubbed against as opposed to it actually wearing off. I have a Fusion 1911 with IonBondDLC and it has some shiny spots after 12-15K rounds and a buddy dropping it during a COF in a match, but they are from what it touches rubbing off into the finish's "pores" and creating a mark...not from finish wearing off at all.
  11. Just have a decent smith build you a 4.25" upper with a threaded barrel and fit to your Marauder frame and add/fit the comp. Then you have a 2 upper gun or you could just sell the current upper to recoup some of the cost of the new one.
  12. Check out Dothan Gun Club. Also look up Precision Tactical in Crestview, FL: they have a match. And also there are some great matches in Baker, FL at a range that used to be called CORE, but I think the name has changed... Welcome. Open your wallet. Enjoy!
  13. Another option- Take pin out and remove the weight completely. Add mass back to buffer or simply leave it a little lighter...
  14. Generally speaking, yes. But as with most anything to do with laws and especially NFA stuff, there are always gray areas...
  15. Should be good to go then. Grab preferred barrel and bushing and get to fitting.
  16. I don't understand why everyone is so butthurt about this shift... All they are missing now is legit open guns. The P and XL will still serve as great competition guns for 3Gun and USPSA LTD. I would guess that their Open guns were a financial "liability" due to shadetree gunsmiths creating as many or more issues than they resolved and then expecting STI to fix them. They still have "competition" guns with a different look and can also market them to non-competition shooters too. What's the problem...?
  17. Nicely done with the Silvertips!
  18. Thought this was the only reason that anybody does it...?
  19. Geissele has a stout spring available that you could pair with a hefty buffer and stick with standard stuff instead of adding the carrier slug like we often see in 9mm AR bolts. But if you wanted to go the slug route, I'm sure one of the 9mm AR bolt manufacturers could sell you a few slugs to try. Would then just need someone to drill the carriers to allow pinning the slugs in place.
  20. Nickel cases had nothing to do with those primers popping...
  21. Only concerned with actual trigger or complete trigger group?
  22. Brake at that barrel length is gonna be HARSH!!! Go with something like one of the linear brakes or Noveske Flaming Pig style devices maybe...
  23. Using a small pin or somethingaimilar to depress the detent and allow the pin to slide out is how I've always done it. Haven't come across anything glamorous and lose the detent about half the time because it really flies on out if not contained when pin is removed...but this works for me. Tiny blade of a precision slotted screwdriver works nicely, blade width needs to fit in channel in pin.
