  1. Its an 18' bbl rifle gas system, BCM BCG , Odin Adjustable Gas Block was my original set up

    it runs 100% with my lightest load of 24.5 grs of H335, the bolt locks open. outside Temp was 15 deg Celsuis

    Replaced the BCG ONLY with Faxon LW BCG,  same gas setting, same buffer spring., minus 10 C

    It will cycle but will not lock the bolt open. My pressumption was it will work better since I have reduced the weight of the BCG.

    Will also mentioned that this is time there is a 25 degress C difference on the temp. Could it be the Temp?

    thanks

     

  2. Hi

    is it possible  to use the JP captured spring on my A5 buffer tube?, A5 tube lenght is between the carbine and rifle, even the buffer lenght is between the 2.  Right now I'm using the A5 H0 which 3.3Oz and a reduced power rifle buffer spring. just to mentioned that Faxon LW BCG and Odin adjustable GB is fiited to the rifle , with a 18 rifle gas system bbl. thanks

    I Finally measured the scope-bore centerline.  I got 2.6 inches I was able to send some at 200 yards, I am thrilled with this scope, proof barrel, and Hornady 55 match bthp although it doesn’t seem to like the 73 els from Hornady. I also reached out to the guys at switch view they got me one of there excellent folding throw levers I got two different heights. I am Loving this setup.

    I have played with strike eagle 1-6 Steiner 1-4  swfa 1-4.

     

    when I had the Steiner I had to have a super adjustable stock to make sure I was getting a really good cheek weld which added a lot of weight to the gun. The swaro is really forgiving.  

     

    I do a lot of photography and having a swaro on top of the gun is like having Leica, or Zeiss glass mounted to your camera everything is so sharp and clear edge to edge. The illumination switch and adjustability are excellent. Even the way they designed the turret cap to make the spare battery  easy to get out is very well thought out

    Hi

    whats the model # of your Switch view lever for Swarvo 1-8, thanks

  4. I have been searching for this kind of topic. like many I"m too has this problem.  , is it because the rifle a little front heavy?  dont have a very strong support arm. The bbl I have right now is the Rainere Ultra Match 18"  at  2lbs and 3oz. If I can get a bbl around 1.5-1.6 lbs maybe it will help. Faxon Gunner 18" is around 1.6lbs if not mistaken. Thanks

  5. Also having issues with my SBE2, the lifter sometimes stays up when I cycle the action, check the BROWNELS parts, There are 2 Carrier Springs listed, which one is the 1.6" which you Gents is recommending. Thanks

    I have a question about the BTF on your scope, it is necessary to install the "rings" in order from the closest zero distance to the farthest zero.

    correct if I'M wrong, although dont have the BTF yet still in the plan, my original Zero is at 50 yards and want to keep it this way,  planning to put the first ring for my 25 yard. and the rest  of the rings from 100-200-300 yards respectively. So the order of  would be 50 yards, 25, 100, 200,  300 yards. Thanks

  7. Tired of hitting those penalties, scoring targets with a diameter of 3" surrounded by NO Shoots set up at 10yards to 25 yards. Right now the I have the Swarvo 1-8 and zeroed at 50/200 and it works for me great. So my problem is on the closer targets, the mechanical offset is around 2.75".

    So whats the best combo that will be compatible with my main optics, my main concern is the room for the mount and RDS especially the some RDS have their brightness adjustment on the left side. Planning to install the RDS at the rear closely side by side with my main optics.

    Warne 45 dgree/ vortex venon/viper combo is whats on my mind, maybe you can add your advice and suggestion. Thanks

     

  8. Hello,

    Without the Decapping Pin Assebly of my sizing die, Can I still use the die to size just the body/ shoulder without the neck sizing?  what happen was a case got stuck on the die and I cant remove the case, tried all the methods, and secondly might had damaged the Decapping assembly. Managed to acquire locally a Forester Sizing Die, although it chambers using dummy rounds, it doesnt fully seat with my JP ammo gauge. Brass that was sized by Dillon drops freely on the JP gauge. Not sure if I can send the Dillon Die for repair, then again its not practical for shipping since I'm in Canada.

  9. OP

    you mentioned it doesnt pass the JP gauge, but  does it chamber on your rifle.

    I just switched to Forster FL sizing die from Dillon, nothing wrong with Dillon die, it just out of sevice temporarily,  and the brass from Forstyer doesnt fully go down using my JP gauge but will go in all the way with Dillon gauge. Test fired the ammo using the Forster die and all chambered 100%. The brass that was sized using the Dillon die will all drop straight to my JP and Dillon gauges.

  10. Just installed an Odin Adjustable Gas Block to my 18" rifle lenght bbl ( 223 wylde 1: 8) , Also  Reduced Power Buffer Spring  and  a Lighter buffer, full mass BCG was used  since my ordered Low mass BCG is still in the mail.. .My ammos shoots differently than it use to be, for examble, before my 55 grs doesnt groups better than the 62 grs., now its the other way around.This happens when some gas restriction on the GB was applied. Is it maybe that the extra gas or pressure went to the bbl instead to the bolt.
