Mine is performing just as it should. Loving it. Might want to snag a 14.5 version at some point if they make it
-
Yup , i have the non trit version of the DAS , and they are nearly identical to the STI TAS , i'm pretty sure they make em for STI as i don't think STI manufacturers them .
-
Thanks RePete . That's what i'm thinking , i'm pretty sure kensight makes the TAS sights for STI . Prob go thin standard front .80

Whoops the picture is turned actually , it's low left . Hi Power jack, i did try it out at 10-15 yards and it's still the same only more so. I have a feeling i'm going to need an adjustable rear to get this thing tuned in. My guess the height of the front sight is preventing me from getting the height correct .
As the ammo goes i've tried 4 dif kinds of ammo including my hand loads . Same result. I could probably drift the rear a bunch and then the front but i already feel like the amount i've done that should have sufficed .
I'm trying to get them on the phone now actually to see if i can rock one of the adjustable rears and replace the front with an FO sight and sell the night sights to another novak 1911 shooter . I just don't think the front sight height is sufficient for such a short gun

Hi guys i recently got a new STI Duty one 3.0 Lite in 9mm . Amazing little gun. Nearly 800 rounds with only 2 ftf's because of the magazine . With new tripp mags , FLAWLESS. Only issue is the point of aim vs point of impact . For the life of me i can't get it to sight in.
It's hitting low left. 2 inches low , and usually about an inch / inch and a half left . Now at first i thought it was maybe me , heavier trigger , not used to the gun, maybe i'm pushing the trigger ......but i confirmed the same point of aim point of impact with other shooters as well. I tried drifting the front sight left and the rear right in hopes of closing that gap a bit to no avail.
Anyone have any experience trying to sight these kinds of sights in? The Rear is a heine btw
Any suggestions would be great as i'm pretty close to sending it to STI to have them replace the sights with their adjustable rear .
Below are 2 pics . First is the target at 5 yards bench rested gun slow fire as controlled as i could . Second target goes as follows , Left D my 45 , colt gold cup nat'l match at 7 yards , right D my 40 akai gun, right C is the new gun . The other guns have adjustable sights, but i confirmed their POI / POA with other shooters and confirmed that i was not compensating for poor trigger control with adjustable sights.
Any ideas ? apart from going adjustable which i may anyway .
thanks everyone

I had bad luck with extreme out passed 25 yards. I had rounds that would go all squirrly around 50 as in going off in odd directions. I'm also shooting BBI and have had good luck with them out to 100 yards.

Only 2 things that stand out to me are the battle comp ( by the way after many people have tested the battle comp , it does not work as an effective comp ) With a much cheaper comp like the miculek or the new Taccom compensator , you'd be much better off. Sell that battle comp and you'll have enough money left over for either of those 2 .
And i echo the gas impingement system not the adams. Wich should be just as easy as changing to a normal BCG , gas block and gas tube.
Other then that , there's no reason not to use the system you have . More and more people are going to shorter lighter barrels. The 18" or 20" barrel isn't necessary , unless you want to squeak out that much more velocity out of your round. I'm running a 16.5" voodoo ultra light with rifle length gas and it does the job very well. Even mid length gas is fine with some tweaking of the recoil system.
I use an adjustable stock , and switched from the fixed recently . I don't find a benefit to one or the other apart from the adjustability of the non fixed.
As for hand guard length, i like the longer hand guard like most so i can move my hand further down and have more control over pointing the muzzle.
Other great comps if you want to spend a little more are the seekins atac brake and the dynamic resistance comp

Looks like a .308 , might be proprietary
-
I'm getting similar results from my barrel. Seems like it can hold just about .75 moa with hand loads. More then good enough. Probably closer to 1 moa , but i'm not loading precision ammo for it . Just plain ole 650 for 223
-
I'm fairly sure either voodoo or adams has them in stock on their own sites for 250
-
Congrats on your fist post steve . It was actually informative , unlike so many others. My current 3 gun ar build is an ultra lightweight build , so it just got me curious after looking at that 100k dollar titanium AR from nemo.
Once i get my low mass bcg i'll be close to 5 lbs with no optic . But it would be so cool to get under that 5 lb mark.

Hi everyone
I stumbled onto this site today and was wondering if anyone had any experience with their products . I can't seem to find any references on enos anywhere. Using the upper and lower would be a nice way to shave off a little weight. But titanium can be so brittle . This alloy or composite is interesting to me , but i know nothing about the company or their rep.

Ran my COR ultralight yesterday, great on 62 gr lake city, would not cycle on nasty steel case tula 55 grain, it would go bang then get hung in the chamber, checked all the usual stuff, was good, just wouldnt run on tula......i was a little disappointed as the other piston guns,sig516 /rec7 have no issue w tula 223. gas ports etc were clean, just a fluke, ill see how it does after a couple hundred of 62 through it unless Im just missing something on this...awesome rifle though
I can't really speak to their whole rifle. But the barrel has been ok so far. I'll be doing accuracy testing this week so more info to come. Right now , after adjusting my gas, my gun is reliably running everything . The adjustable gas block for this setup is key.
-
Thanks Mark . I'm actually looking into the voodoo now as well.
-
I have not tried the Voodoo, but TK told me the contact surface area is more than mil-spec. If you can get that confirmed and it is sufficient, then it would be worth a try. The RCA is not even okay.
Don't say that !!! Do you know how much i love the idea of the adjustable gas being on the BCG rather then the F'N gas block. You're playing with my emotions. Me and Tim Ubl have been talking for so long about how we'd lighten the recoil systems in ARs . One i'm building right now actually. He didn't have a particular gripe with the RCA low mass .
Enlighten me , both of you are two of my favorite engineers and shooters.
-
Sounds pretty smart to me , and i'm SMART !!!! just ask me !
-
Agreed . I'm looking at the new Rubber City Armory low mass bcg myself
-
130 is just for the bolt carrier , no bolt included , firing pin etc
-
Tripp , then all others

I just finished a rifle with the 16.5 Voodoo / Adams barrel with the rifle length gas system . It's shooting really well. Still dialing it in, but so far it's reliable with my ultra light recoil system, full mass bcg, and adjustable gas block
-
Getting the gun dialed in. So far the barrel is doing very very well. The ULR recoil system from Taccom is fantastic. The brake is doing its job very well. I replaced the hiperfire with my CMC straight tactical trigger. I prefer the feel of it. So far after getting the gas dialed in, it's been totally reliable.
I'm hoping to take it out this weekend
-
Stop saying WST , or there will be none left …..oh that's right …….never mind. You can just be added to the list of people who can't find WST
-
Oh wow , how was that ? figured it would have been rained out . Not sure if i'm sold on the comp yet . It's good , but the whole gun is new , so i need to settle into it and swap a few out and see what works better for me .
I'm really thinking about shooting up in frost proof next weekend though. you ?
-
Yeah that's what i was thinking , going to throw some of my rounds together and keep testing. Looks like it's going to be rained out this saturday. But I would def be amenable to frost proof next saturday for sure . Schweet!!
I'll leave everyone with this picture . That's a shot from the rifle with the voodoo barrel and a taccom brake.
VP9 Experience
in H&K

I IWB a VP9 in florida every day in a remora sticky type holster. Carries like a G19 . I also have a very nice stealth gear holster for it , but i find i always come back to the 25 dollar Remora every time . Go with what works i guess
