    2 Thumbs up for Johnny Glocks trigger kit

    in Glock

    Posted

    there really should be no real reason to have to use Small Rifle Primers in a Glock. My open gun load makes a 174pf w/ standard small pistol primers.

    because I use small rifle in my limited STI and open ... so I gave up a extra 1lb of trigger pull for the convenience of using 1 primer for everything I load...

    The 4.5# spring should increase your trigger pull approximately 5-6 oz. over the 4.0# spring.

    Yes but not when u cut the 3 coils off the safety block spring and use the 4lb striker spring.

    I had to use the 6lb trigger return, the 4.5lb striker and the uncut safety block spring.

    Just an update. I finally got to run my glock enough to give it a good review. I ended up using the 6lb trs and the 4.5lb striker to have complete 100% reliability with small rifle primers. All of the. Light off but the trigger pull is alot heavier than with the 4lb striker spring.

    Dont matter if its alittle heavier the short reset; almost no travel and 100reliability makes it worth the extra lb on the trigger pull.

    Since your 1050 is probably out of warrantee and you will have to buy a new shell plate, why not consider one of these with a lifetime guarantee?

    I picked up one of those plates for 5.56... WAY better than the Dillion plates.

    Don't know when Tlee got his plates that are machined wrong, but, he did tell me when I bought mine, that his machinist was doing them by hand. They, including my plate, are now fully CNC'd.

    Aahhh either going to give them a try... if they dont work will review personally.

    I was playing with the PT unit ... I think I definitely need to have the detent drilled out ... Because it was going into slide lock with the thumb pressure I was doing ....

    Could someone post a picture of one of these with the detent drilled out?

    I'll post a pic tonight when I get home ... My detent has already been drill out by my gunsmith

    Ran 250+rds on the gun with the PT pedal ... Absolutely love it !!!

    Now I can compare it to the GoGun Pedal in pluses and minus

    GoGun vs PT
    + definitely solid ( its on there - Still iffy on durability

    + controls recoil good ( by thumb pressure) + controls recoil better ( by thumb pressure and tighter weak hand grip)

    - looser / lazy grip + tighter grip

    - drills holes in frame to utilize + leaves frame alone

    -heavier than the PT unit + lighter than the GoGun

    over all I'm sold on this PT Pedal !!! I'm converting everything ... Only now is I wished they made this in a Titanium !!!

    Ripp is most likely shooting .40 or 9 major... :goof: My guess is .40, and he is running brass through a case pro too fast and it is buggering up some of the case head rims, hence they are not going all the way into the shellplate. After a good night's sleep I remember having that particular issue.

    I am curious to know what happens....

    DougC;

    yes this is on my 40sw 1050 ... my 9mm 1050 it just hums

    I bought these brass from a vendor and it seems like what you said might be the case... It just started happening with this batch of brass...

    And I have no case pro ... but I am running a EGW U die, a Redding Comp Die and a Lee Factory Crimp...

    It is the priming station. Your priming station is making the brass go sideways and when it goes into the powder die it crushes the mouth.

    First, make sure your shellplate is snugged down, but enough that you can move it around with your hand. Now take some time and and make sure the swage die is down enough, Now adjust your swage rod so you are getting enough swage. Most likely after all this you will need to readjust your primer depth and back it off quite a bit. This would be a good time to put new springs on the primer slide arm.

    That should take care of it. Also make sure there is nothing in the recess on the shellplate that is keeping the cases go all the way in like it is supposed to.

    Hope this helps.

    But I sometimes catch crush before I drop the powder ... So it cant be the powder charge station. I have to re-check all this crap ...

    I have 2 culprits

    1 = the brass

    2 = the shell plate is worn out ... but I've only had this damn thing for 2 years and ran no more than 70k thru the press.

    I am not sure where the crushing is happing on your machine, but the casefeed plunger will crush cases.

    If I partially cycle the machine (because of a jam at the sizing die or the swaging station) the casefeed plunger will try to jam another case into station #1, so the case that is already there gets crushed on the side.

    It usually happens when I am trying to get a case out of station #2 because the decapping pin has sucked the primer partially back into the case. Or the swaging station is trying to deal with the partially ejected primer, and the shell plate try’s to advance but it can’t, so moving the shell plate back so you can pull out the case also causes the shell plate to move back to station #1 with a case in the shell plate, and one in the casefeed plunger. Now the one in the shell plate is going to get crushed by the plunger trying to stick a new one in the shell plate.

    nope ... then I would notice the jam / crushed case in station #2 ( decapping and sizing ) ... And I only notice to catch the crush brass right at station #5 ( powder charging station )...

    My eyes are usually at attention on station #1 , powder bar and bullet seating station...

    Couple of ideas. Look at your shell plate. Is each place a case would go in the same, no broken points on the opening. Run the machine empty and watch the shell plate index if that is smooth and no jump then.

    Look at each case after the deprime stage about 12 to 15 and be sure the primer is gone, sometimes they will not drop out so the will tilt the brass over going into 2. That would cause the die to come down on the side and crush it.

    Take a look and if these are not the issue let us know.

    :cheers:

    Dont need to look ... I already have the answer to all these...

    my machine runs smooth when it index between stations. The shell plate is still good but showing signs of wear from use... Depriming which is the 1st stage works. Because all the crush brass have brand new primers in them...

    Anyone else having the same issue ???

    It seems to happen on 2nd or 3rd station... Most likely the 2nd ...

    I have a bunch of once fired brass and some are not sitting correctly in the shell plate. Easy enough I can pull it out without much force. And most of the time it doesnt get fed into the shell plate correctly.

    Is this a brass issue or a shell plate issue

I want to better what I am doing not just cover up poor technic not saying they can not help but not for everyone.
