Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Les: what comp are you using?
  2. This is all assumption since I dont have my rifle yet to test with. I think you have the right idea about a longer length of travel while the bolt is moving back into the buffer tube. That should help decelerate the bolt and soften the felt recoil. however you will then have a longer length of travel for the bolt to go back to its forward position. This could increase muzzle dip/dot movement since the bolt will have more time to speed up. My plan is to find a happy medium between the two. I have read multiple times that shortening the bolt stroke with spacers will make the rifle feel like it is recoiling harder, but will not impart as much dot movement. That leads me to believe the bolt is slamming to the rear with more force (hard felt recoil), and then going back forward with not as much momentum so it doesn't impart dot movement. I will definitely be trying this out next weekend when I have my rifle in hand. Im thinking of using cork to help soften the blow of the bolt. I think it would be better than metal on metal. If it falls apart which I think it probably will, Ill try rubber or delrin.
  3. To all you cmore guys, have you tried using something like a vortex razor red dot? I was originally going to go with a tube dot like the trijicon mro with the 2 moa dot. After doing a lot of reading the 2moa dot seems to be a bad choice for uspsa competition. I can get a good deal on vortex products so I started looking at the razor red dot with a 6 moa dot. I'm just a little concerned the lense will be too small compared to a cmore.
  4. Thanks for all the great responses. I did settle on a basic thread protector. I can always switch to a flash hider/comp later if I want for looks. I only shoot 40 major in limited for uspsa, so for this 9mm pcc I will develop a specific load for the rifle. The goal will be a 128-132 PF. I'm leaning towards a 124gr Berrys bullet. Mike. When talking about stroke. Are you talking about the length the bolt travels in the receiver? Are you stacking quarters in the back of the buffer tube to reduce travel length? I'm confused how this will help with recoil management/dot flip. Thanks! Now I just need to settle on an optic. I'm in between the vortex sparc ar and the trijicon mro.
  5. Thanks for the input. I assumed that a 9mm minor load wouldn't generate nearly enough gas to work a comp. I have found a few cheap comps marketed for 9mm, but I might just do a thread protector. Sounds like you get better recoil management/dot flip by messing with buffer springs. Have you found this to be the case?
  6. I'm building a 9mm. Mostly quarter circle 10 parts with a 16 inch barrel. Are you guys running a comp, or just a flash hider? If you are using a comp which one are you using. Thanks!
  7. Thanks for the input. How do you guys like the optic for shooting from 200 - 400 yards with it? I like the reticle the Burris has. Looks like it could be useful for holdover. I am a huge fan of vortex though.
  8. I currently compete in tac division. I am thinking of giving limited a try. What optic do you use and how do you like it? So far I'm between the Burris ar1x or vortex Spitfire. Thanks.
  9. Will do. I mount the shotgun with right hand on trigger and left hand supporting. When I go to reload i throw the stock on my right shoulder with my right hand, and contunie to support the barrel with left hand.
  10. I just looked at carbon arms website. It seems the pinwheel is what theKenny is referring to. They are inexpensive, but also looks like I could create my own pinwheel plate with some kydex sheet. Might be a interesting experiment.
  11. Thanks for the input guys. Ill give it a shot. I like the idea of being able to cut it in half if it seems to large for most applications.
  12. I have been using the Taccom 4up dual load caddies for awhile. I am wanting to switch to quad loading. I currently shoot right handed and roll the shotgun over to load with weak hand. I want to switch to throwing the stock on my shoulder and loading strong hand. I was considering the carbon arms backbone. Being able to carry 24 rounds that close together seems like a good way to do it. However, I'm not sure if that's going to make loading difficult since the first 4 shells I'll grab will be close to my left hip. Also, I can't think of many times I've needed 24 rounds in a stage. Would I be better off going with a different caddie, or just not loading the backbone all the way up so my reach won't be as far? Thanks in advance for your input.
  13. I currently have my M2 setup to hold 10 + 1. I definitely need more capacity. The question is do I got to 12+1 or do I go 14+1? 12+1 makes sense because I can hit a quad load off the start, but the extra two capacity may come in handy. Please share your experience if you have any with the 14+1. Thanks.
  14. Im building a new rifle for the 2016 season. Last part is the adjustable gas block. I wanted to get a Syrac since I have heard nothing but good things about them. I came across the Seekins low profile block and have heard good things. The price point is attractive as well. I was wondering if anyone with experience with either of these blocks could lend some help on the topic. I will be using the 15" MI ss gen 2 hand guard on a 16" barrel with mid length gas. Seekins : http://www.seekinsprecision.com/seekins-precision-low-profile-adjustable-gas-block-750-dia.html Syrac : http://www.syracordnance.com/collections/gas-blocks/products/gen-ii-750-adjustable-low-pro-solid-gas-block Thanks!
  15. Armalite 18. Both are great. You get the extra velocity with the 18.
