  1. yes.....it's no different than a glock set up in that respect. I will say that with the improved flat wire spring.....it's working great with 115, 124 and 147 grain ammo
  2. I know a place!! Soooo.....if you get any of our barrels, make sure that we remove the lower feed ramp as the ARV lower actually has a kick butt feed ramp already. We can modify your bolt (free of charge). And we have all the rest as you know.
  3. I bought the ARV essential receiver kit with bolt. Installed a TACCOM XLW super feed barrel with the ramp removed, but modified the bolt to use the Super Feed option. Been using it for a few weeks now with zero issues on feeding what so ever. Over here at TACCOM we are designing and making a funnel, extended magazine release and bolt release......not sure when they will be in the mill.......too dang busy at the moment. Really like the platform.......been running solid with the PSA 35 and 50 round magazines.
  4. I would contact TACCOM and see if I can help you.......it works for other customers
  5. yep.....we pretty much settled on 1016 as being optimal.....1316 being on the extreme end of it. We pretty much only deal with 16" barrels, but don't be surprised if we offer a 10" or 13" solid barrel in the near future
  6. I think you need to re-read that.......JP's are probably one of the few out that has the reputation of feeding very well. I am happy that yours feeds 100%.....still doesn't mean they got it right. And yes......people have installed our feed ramp on JP PCC carbines as well as our barrels, so much for 100% for the masses eh?
  7. On the Ruger PCC.......you want the ejector to be as close as possible to the bottom of the bolt, touching is good even, I break the edge on the ejector so it doesn't catch. One thing a lot of people over look when they start to have ejection issues is make sure the machine screws that attach the stock to the receiver are TIGHT and that there is nothing (dirt) between the receiver and the stock. As the ejector is in the stock.....stuff like that has to be looked at. Mag catch is a pain, we took care of that (somewhat) with the huger oversized mag catch and someone came out with a cool finger release recently. Yeah, as for the bolt release.....I took mine out.
  8. Even JP does not have it right......they are closer than anyone else (except TACCOM and Ruger with the PC Carbine).......No one has actually figured out that you need to look at how a glock pistol feeds and duplicate that. Bottom line.....if your magazine is not almost touching the feed ramp like a Glock pistol......it's not right......period. And there are only 2 manufacturers on the planet at this time that do that for the glock mag AR9's
  9. Because, at the time.....that's the only thing that was reliable enough. So I've just built up a PSA ARV......uses the Scorpion style magazines. I am using the PSA brand and with ease you can get extensions to make 50, 60 and even 75 rounds. My company is developing a funnel, mag release and bolt release for the platform. Based off the AKV that we've been shooting......that magazine platform has been super reliable, much more so than the Glock......still a work in progress but I believe that this may well be a very good platform to run with. The PSA magazines are built well. The major hurdle at the moment is having an efficient magazine release. At the moment, the Glock mags are still king supreme for the PCC format. FYI.....we sell over 200 glock feed ramps per month to fix feeding issues on Glock lowers.
  10. trudat!!.....I will say that we've had a couple 5.25" barrels snap off the end when customers used crush washers.......one reason we went away with QPQ (too brittle) and went back to black oxide
  11. wrong math batman.....divide that by 2 and that is your wall thickness and yes......scary!!!.....oops, someone else caught that
  12. You can snap the end of the barrel off if you use a crush washer and need to go more than 1/4-1/3 turn to time the comp......1/2-28 on 9mm is THE dumbest thing ever!!! It should be 5/8-24.....change my mind
  13. If you port the barrel......as a rule, yes, you want to get rid of the rifling after the port. If you port at say 14"......you probably would not need to drilling out the rifling......but at 6" absolutely. I personally would not go that far back......in the testing we did, 8 to 12 is the area you want to look at, with 10" being the sweet spot.
  14. SO we've been working on a new nut for the 15/22 to use our Extreme HG. The barrel is available now, we recommend 'sharpening' the factory extractor or getting the Volquartsen. The factory extractor will sorta work as is.....only functional as the pivot point when the gun is firing, but will not take an unfired round out of the chamber. It's just not sharp enough and we will NOT cut the extractor groove as close to the chamber as S&W does.....that's just crazy what they do!! I've not compared the weight between the two HG's.....but I am sure they are within an ounce of each other.
  15. So i was all set to run a 10/22 this year for steel challenge.....got a new chassis, new barrel a bunch of little control upgrades....all set to go!! Weelllllll.....maybe not.....I got this 15/22 the other week, put our ULW barrel on it, a silly light trigger, modified one of our extreme ULW hand guards. Still need to get the Butt Stock finished up and put on an optic.....but HOLY BALLS......3 pounds flat!!!
  16. That is interesting......and we did see that difference in the two bolts we have in the shop here. We did test with both bolts with no issues. We did use CCI ammo, but is was cold too. I suspect that like in the case of the 10/22 and AR22 set ups......A lighter spring will also take care of any issues you may run into with standard velocity ammo.
  17. First barrel off the milling process.....making sure we had all the pins, extractor, ejector, etc in the right locations......we did.....it works!! The temp at the time was 20 degrees.....standard bolt and springs, CCI mini mags. This is a brand new M+P pistol......never even fired a shot with the factory barrel.....I guess we went for broke!! So now that we have a process.....the barrels get finished up in the mill, sent out for plating and then shrouds get pressed on. video-1612227981.mp4
  18. Was thinking I would be milling out my receiver some day
  19. I can now say my Ruger is ready for 2021. I’ve added the TACCOM adjustable butt stock and the Luth-AR chubby grip (I actually like the feel of that thing) so what was a 3 pound 8 ounce rifle is now a 3 pound 10 ounce rifle......I’ll take 2 ounces for a better butt stock and grip. Go figure......I did a little customizing (wonder why).....the forearm is a total one off. Took a ULW forearm and cut it up to fit the chassis, looks good, but was NOT easy!! Also, this is a rifle I got on my 10th birthday back in 1969, it's had lots of stocks, barrels and triggers mounted to it.....but it still have the original bolt and receiver.
  20. We hope to have things ready to go in about 3 weeks......same sleeve that we are using on the 10/22 barrel (.3/4" OD)
  21. To a point.....I agree, but we've been running our 4.5" blanks in the 10/22 and the AR22 with standard velocity ammo.....and for the most part, it's been cycling very well. As long as the outside temp is not below 30 degrees. Yes, the colder weather will effect ejection somewhat with standard velocity, I personally live in minnesota, so I've done a lot of cold weather testing. I really don't like shooting a match in freezing weather. I doubt you'll see TACCOM make a full length 15/22 barrel.......you'd have to go for the big V
  22. We are doing a new AR22 upper........but right now it was put on hold for a couple months, too busy doing 9mm, 10/22 and 15/22 stuff as well as some huge OEM orders. Something had to give so we pretty much stopped development.....and that sucks as we are really close, I mean parts are made even!!
