    Did it blow your extractor out?

    About round number 80 through my new X5:

    The Razor HD Gen II 1-6 is 25.2 oz. The Burris XTRII 1-8 is 24.4 oz.

    In the scenario I mentioned above, the constant was the rifle length gas system and the buffer weight and spring tension. The variables were the carrier mass and adjusting the gas to suit the carrier mass/ buffer weight/ spring tension. Basically isolating for what difference carrier mass can make to lock time while all else remained the same and the results I had were significant.

    Older thread, but yes, I got much better accuracy out of my 6.5 Grendel when I moved from a low mass carrier to a full mass carrier, but it got even better when I added a Tubbs carrier weight. I still use an adjustable gas block and tune the gas accordingly. Usually not shooting this offhand and can't really tell any difference in the recoil. You can tell the bolt stays locked longer. I can't rechamber fired brass from the low mass carrier, but it rechambers just like it was fired from a bolt gun now.

    Nice gun. You look super jacked in your avatar

    E Range is 500 yards

    My CRP Eagle came with one. Love it. One of those I should have thought of that things.
  9. Howa4au
    I was thinking the CRP came with a tool less guide rod?

    Had the same problem when I got my Edge. I kept thinking I would get around to smoothing it out, but as I kept putting it off I developed the callous- problem solved. Procrastination can pay off

    Thanks for the replies

    For a 5" 9mm shooting minor?
  13. Howa4au
    I am thinking one of these choices. My question is bling factor aside what is the reason for chrome plating on the Edge? It is a $300 option after all. On that CRP chrome Edge deal you are basically getting the CRP package ($2,140) with the chrome upgrade for $200 instead of $300.

    WST has been nice and soft for 40 major for me. Never tried Clays though.

    Get a Dawson CRP or Brazos HP. You can get the 4 pack of tuned mags from Brazos for $100 each with gun purchase - normally $150. It will cost you $100/mag to buy the parts and put it together yourself and his are tuned. Dawson has a run of hard chromed CRP's for $2,340 btw.

    Ha! You actually have a valid point. Also I was shooting the gun about normal for me after the sight broke. And my normal points down in matches bears out your point as well. Maybe Will is right- just grind em down.
  17. Howa4au
    Thanks Will but I was wondering about returning it to Dawson and after some of the other posts I believe I will try that. I also ordered a microdot to try.
  18. Howa4au
    Or course not. The rear of the sight broke off and it was being held together by the fiber optic. As I said I kept shooting anyway until the fiber optic broke and I lost the rear part of the sight. I still kept shooting looking through the hole in the front of the sight where the fiber goes. Don't know why it broke- I've never dropped the gun or banged it on anything. Was just making sure. Didn't mean it as an insult but I am sure there are people out there that think that if the fiber breaks they need a new sight. Just making sure you weren't one No worries, I didn't take it that way. Sorry if it sounded like I did. I've done plenty of stupid stuff just not this time!

    I run a BT DOH holster for limited. Just acquired a Racemaster through a trade though and think I will give it a shot. Pun intended, btw.
  20. Howa4au
    Thanks Will and Ryan. At least she has some scholarship money there! Good shooting you guys- hate I won't be there with you.
  21. Howa4au
    BTW- finally cleaned and lubed it after that match but I think it would have kept on running another couple of matches or do.
  22. Howa4au
    Funny, I have a video of an IDPA match when it had been a while since I had cleaned and lubed the gun. When I loaded and made ready the gun didn't go into battery. I hit the back of the slide to force it into battery and told the SO it would be fine. Gun run perfectly the whole stage and a couple after.
  23. Howa4au
    That is surprising. By the rules definitions in IDPA ESP it is legal.
  24. Howa4au
    Thanks for that heads up though, btw.
