    how does it fail?   nose up or nose down jam? other issues? 

    have fit over 6 of these some times it a gun issue. had to add a pad of JB weld to tighten up the mag

    to maintain the angle and stop some of the moving around on one gun.

    went through several (10-12) different mags to get the 6 to work .


    Yes the rounds are being driven into the bottom of the barrel and not feeding into the throat.  I tried JB well to keep the mag angled and it did not work.  Now I’m having issues with the follower not pressing down into the extension

    Do your reloads differ in speed from a dedicated lower? Do they make magwells for the full size? 

    I do not have a lower with a mag block to compare on a chronograph.  I just know that guys at my local club with mag blocks in their regular AR's have issues with feeding and reliability.

    So! I’m done convincing myself that I don’t want a PCC. Now begins the journey of which one I want. I’ve lusted after the scorpion evo because HK slap and ambi-ness of it. Now that I’ve looked, there are a few AR style lowers that are fully ambi as well. I have a Glock 17, but magazine sharing isn’t a huge seller for me, and it seems that Colt style mags have more ambi control lowers available. Not super hot on the MPX either since it seems to had issues, but I’m sure the now ones are better. I plan on eventually running a can and SBRing as well. I’m a C class shooter and I prefer reliability over having to tweak with things constantly. Which platform would you recommend and why?

    As a fellow lefty I can talk about both the Colt pattern and Glock pattern rifles as I have one of each.  I have my Colt pattern rifle with is a DDLES lower now QC10 and its set up just like my other AR's with ambi charging handle, BAD lever and ambi safety control.  I also have a Foxtrot Mike rifle that is Glock mag pattern lower and it has a side charging handle that is forward on the handguard.  I prefer the ease of the Foxtrot Mike side charger as a left handed shooter.  My FTM rifle also has an ambi safety selector, the benefit is the side charging upper is ambi as well.  The initial design was a folder paratrooper style charging handle, it has been redesigned and comes with three options, a thin single finger charger, an thicker single finger charger and an ambi single finger charger that is thinner material (sticks through the top part of the rail on both sides).  The quality of the Foxtrot Mike rifle is awesome, watched it eat over 8K rounds of non brass ammo at a demo bay for 3 Gun Nation Nationals without a single malfunction.  The customer service is also top notch as I always have a reply to any question usually same day (hour or less) or no later than the next day. 

     

    A new three lug adapter just came out for cans.  I may be wrong but I think it is for PCC rifles as well as AR15 rifles.

    There were some posts by Paul about how they developed (or were testing) and Ultralight barrel design for competition shooting.

      

     

    You would be correct sir there is a pencil thin barrel from Foxtrot Mike.  I have one and haven't had the chance to install it yet but I plan on getting it in my upper. 

     

    I agree with greatlakes08, you can't go wrong with the Foxtrot Mike uppers or their lowers.  Paul over at FTM had two different style lowers.  I currently have the billet lower on my rife and love.  NOT ONE ISSUE! 

     

    Memphis Mechanic I'm a lefty also.  The charging handle is ambidextrous.  You will need a 9" or longer 3/16 allen wrench (think that was the size) to loosen a set screw on it then just flip it over.  Paul designed a new smaller charging handle for the uppers as well.  Think he is offering them for free you just cover the S&H which is $10 but I may be wrong.  You get three different charging handles to choose from and one is two sided and can be used by both left handed and wrong handed shooters.

    I decided to cancel my PSA upper order and get a Foxtrot Mike from Primary Arms. Much better value with  muzzle brake.     Thanks for the heads up!

     

     

    That's awesome!  I have no complaints with mine and have never had a failure to feed or failure to eject with my rifle.  The only issue I ever had was due to a new mag extension I was trying out.  I run 124 gr. reloads in mine along with factory 115 and 147 ammo.  My reloads are the same that I use in my STI and are really soft.

    I am wanting to get into to PCC and am currently looking at getting a PSA setup to start due to cost. But if there are going to be some really good deals this week or next I might spring for a higher end gun. Is anyone aware of any of the PCC makers who might be doing a sale for the holidays or have discount codes?

     

     

    If cost is a factor you can't go wrong with the Foxtrot Mike complete rifles or Uppers and Lowers.  They are cost friendly and flat out run!  Brownells, Primary Arms, DTF Industries and the Glock Store carry them.  Check out the pricing as I know Brownells, Primary Arms and DTF had sales this weekend.

    New to pcc game and looking for advice on a dot.

     

    Which one would you recommend and why. Brand, style, moa, durability, warranty, etc. See that the reflex type sights seem to be preferred. 

     

     

    Giving my experience based on the use of 4 different red dots.   I really like the Vortex Venom and here is why.  Small (which I wasn't crazy about at first) with a generous field of view and fast target acquisition with both eyes open.  3 MOA dot and 6 MOA dot if I remember correctly, I use the 3 MOA dot. Seams very durable, used it for this season and never had and issue plus it has a lifetime warranty.   The dot is easily acquired through the sight, I've had trouble with other brands locating the dots.

    Debating on jumping on the PCC bandwagon. Normally run Limited and some Production. I figure the stages may not be too much difference with a PCC versus Limited. Any advice on PCC selection without being too brand biased? I do a lot of 3-gun style shooting so trying to stick to the AR style platform will definitely help. Any advice is appreciated.

     

    Not sure if it has been mention or not but the Foxtrot Mike PCC rifles are reliable and on sale right now at Primary Arms and Brownells.  I run one and have zero issues.  The y have great customer service and are very quick at answering questions.  Check them out.
