  1. That’s a good idea. I tried the offset mount as well. It actually placed the dot too far to the left. To get everything properly aligned, my face was barely touching the stock. Not having a firm cheekweld slowed things down a bit. Also, I tend to cant the rifle counter clockwise to about 10 o’clock. With the offset that action actually lowered the cmore in relation to my eyes, the opposite to what I wanted. I ended up just drilling out the offset and using it like a conventional spacer plate.
  2. Muzzle up makes more sense, if I carry a rifle muzzle down I sweep myself every step. Go from your cart to muzzle up and sweep no one. CAS has a great safety record. So I’d say those guys have good advice. But hey. Have fun and don’t point your rifle at anyone.
  3. The extra weight was a plus for me. Although I didn’t end up keeping the fang, when I went to the A2 length buffer I decided to make a spacer and about $2 worth of quarters to keep the carbine length buffer set up I have as it is tuned just how I like it. That was a fair amount of weight at the butt end of the rifle. As a result the center of gravity is at the front of the trigger now and I really love the feel. So to the fang adding weight, perhaps you will like it.
  4. I tried it. It it only works with the new magpul Ctr stock. Wouldn’t work with fixed carbine stock. Returned it. Instead went with with an ace skeleton stock. Gave me the solid feeling I wanted in a longer A2 length of pull. That gave me the ergonomic changes I was looking for.
  5. Well if you are a fireman, then get out your file and make it work!
  6. I took the plastic cmores off my open guns and put them on PCCs they continue to run without issue. I always am amused by the click models being more expensive. The non click is infinitely adjustable, in a parallel universe that would be the more expensive option?
  7. Was news to me, sorry I don’t get out much anymore though. I never could tell tell much difference in my open guns between holes or no holes other than the choo choo train effect on video afterwards.
  8. If you put holes in the barrel you’d have to open up the top of the handguard. Anything in the way of the ejected gas would act like a thrust reverser. Actually giving you more rise. I guess if if you are just doing a naked barrel or a no handguard shroud it could work.
  9. I love flip and catch threads! As a recent sell out, I mean convert to PCC I've taken great pleasure in developing the perfect flip and catch for my rifle when shooting handgun matches. Most of the time I bounce the ejected round off my chest before catching. Time spent practicing fundementals is so provincial? Seriously, to the OP, good on ya! as a regular competitor im sure you are neither sweeping yourself nor breaking the 180. The debates about slow rack into hand over ejection port, vs forceful slide rack are essentially trench warfare. Happy shooting Amigos!
  10. Nice work amigo. wish you luck in the legislative sewer you have to work with there.
  11. No easy answers. We just need to remind all shooters that this is a voulenteer game that only happens if we all own the match. Stage design, set up, ROing and tear down. The big Dicks at local matches would be well served to brief everyone at the start of the match.... "Do not leave until you tear down your final stage" and those who ignore this, well that's up to the rest of us to apply some peer pressure. Easy to say and hard to do, but let's support the guys who sit in the swealtering heat, locking up gates and uploading scores. Leadership from the tailboard amigos!
  12. I thought in kali you were "go to jail" limited to 10 rounds?
  13. So I was a huge opponent to PCC. Ive since realized I was a bit off base. I have a PCC built on a RRA conversion. It is a great rifle, it has run flawless. I don't think a dedicated lower is compulsory, part of the joy of PCC is starting over. Just shoot and have fun amigo!
  14. Why couldn't you say the dealers name? theres no sin in Sharing who you do business with!
  15. In my experience most STI tubes are good to go, add your preferred base pad, spacer and guts and you are good to go. However if the mag gives you trouble you are on your own to figure it out. Spend a a few more bucks for an MBX and you have a company who will help you and make it run. But truth is the MBX should run from the start.
  16. To quote the kool aid man..... " OH YEAH!!!!!"
  17. Oh puskka! i forgot this discussion was limited guns. Hey, for what it's worth I have a ck gun and it's been legit for me but I get it when you are frustrated after laying out big money only to have some grievances. Just remember, go to the source first, if he tells you to eat a dick, then by all means blast em here. Guys will give you more respect if they see that you went to the source first.
  18. yep, the reload is a reflection of overall investment in the game. But I've seen some guys with 1,5 reloads crush ass at match overalls too.
  19. The speed of a reload is often not a significant factor for match performance. There's some stuff to consider, I mean reload speed is more significant in SS or production as you are doing more of them, but if it is during movement then, hell I dunno. The only spot that reload time is really conspicuous is classifiers. as they are all pretty much 6 reload 6. As far as match performance, I've never seen reloads make or break someone, So much more important are movement and transitions. crushing the reloads makes for a dry fire rock star, who then gets his ass kicked at matches by a guy who moves well and shoots early. But hey, it's all a game, so practice the part you dig on!
  20. I shoot coated bullets and get a small amount of lead, but over time it adds up. Im happy to stick with the coated bullets because the cost savings makes hi volume shooting possible for me and the product is from a great company as well as good friend. I use a small screwdriver that I reshape the head to have a rounded profile with a file and sharpen it. But to be honest I'm getting lazy and my bag of phucks is really empty these days. Soooooo id love to hear more about this glass bead cleaning. Is it a harbor freight kinda thing? How do you protect the barrel crown? Please describe your process!
