Looks for Target

Looks for Target (4/11)

  1. Hi, would you consider $500 for the grip?

      I can't do that for both the grip and the magwell. 
      Should someone ask me to part the magwell, I'll reach back to you on just the grip. Otherwise it remains 550 for both plus $10 for the USPS Priority shipping box.

  2. A few questions .. may seem trivial, but trying to get a bigger picture: Is this a new to you gun? If yes, what says the prior owner? If no, is this a new issue that wasn't there before? > If yes, what, if anything changed, If no back to what the prior owner has to say. Is this the first time using the 9mm barrel? Do you know if the comp was bore aligned? (the bullet may be clipping the comp on the way out. Check for shiners on the comp bore hole) Can you get a hold of some non-mystery powder? Just a guess, but could the powder be damp and you're not getting consistent detonation. Granted, logic would dictate that the 15 yard pattern should also display the inconsistencies. At least by eliminating variable one by one you can get closer to resolve. How does the 38SC barrel shoot? If you can, try that. If there's no issue there you can eliminate the slide to frame fit. (Where the dot is frame mounted inconsistent lockup will surely rear it's ugly head - again at 15 yards one would think that it would also display inconsistencies, however the added 15 feet may be the threshold) Back to what shred suggests .. again, from the barrel perspective .. if it moves while locked up that will be problematic to your accuracy. Lastly that I can think of would be your extractor fitting. If it's not tuned correctly that will have an effect. (a poorly tuned extractor will bump or pressure the brass giving inconsistency - especially if the chamber is loose) My 2 cents...
  3. Yup! Definitely can be frustrating. I actually joined a club just so I can shoot their matches over the winters because of this. (Club members are guaranteed entry to the match)
  4. I'm not sure of any specific piece of software that you mention, however there are a ton of generic automation applications out there that basically will auto-fill and click buttons .. etc. As for that match filling up so fast; basically what happens is that the match director sets a limit of how many can sign up, but then will give out a sign-up code to club members, competitors of the last match etc. to be able to sign up before the match is opened for general signup. If those folks sign up and take all the spots before it's opened to the public you get wait listed. It's actually pretty common.
  5. Yes, the comp, forgot it was an open gun. The comp should of been bored aligned to prevent this. Judging by the other issues I'm going with what Mike suggested as an additional potential issue.
  6. Looking at this even more analytically .. the wear/damage on the one side (non wear lug) is most likely caused from the barrel lug being too high on the wear (top) side causing the barrel to roll/twist to the opposite side; hence causing the wear marks on that side.
  7. That is not normal wear by any stretch on the imagination. The wear should be even across both lugs. Also on the non-wear side (as you mentioned) there looks to be an impact of some sort on the lower lug (it looks like a divot), wearing on the link an on the bottom of the ramp. This is concerning. As for the "elongation" if it is on the hole where the slide stop goes through; this is ok. Overall I'd venture to say (without seeing the whole gun) that the barrel is not fit correctly. (disclaimer: I am not pooping on someone else's work, just pointing out what I see as issues and remedy) I'd say start there. There are many other attributes that will affect accuracy (extractor, barrel fit to the slide, breech face ... ), but to start there are issues here to be addressed.
  8. If you 'YouTube' ball detents you'll find a bunch of ideas. I'm assuming you would want to fit one from the bottom side only. (as oppose to counter boring and adding a grub screw from the top). In this case you'd drill your hole and peen the rim once the spring and ball in it place. (pretty simple) Hope this helps

    80% frame?

    Right now the biggest battle you're going to have is the lead times. With everything that's going on nothing seems to be staying on the shelf per se'. With that said; here's my 2 cents: 100% Frames I've used the CK Arms frames for a few of my builds. I believe The 'C' is Matt Cheely if I'm not mistaken. The frames are very nice and there's a couple details that are added that you wouldn't really know about until you built the gun. I have also built using the Cheely frame and as expected the quality is top notch. Personally I would stay away from the STI frames. My personnel open gun I built on an STI frame (it was what was readily available at the time) and it's fine, but from the builders perspective I have to do more 'massaging' to get it the way I wanted it to be. (a lot of what I an speaking to is form and fit type work) I am going to start a build on a Limcat frame in the near future (owners choice), however I can't speak to the quality as this point, but going by the open guns that I have worked on, they are very nice. We'll see when it comes down to fitting etc. Others that are out there but I have never used: Jem Guns Phoenix Trinity (I'm pretty sure Altas used to use their frames) 80% Frames The only 80% That I have every worked with was from Limited-10; who are now Rogue tactical. The dimensions seem to be within spec, however I did get a frame that is out of spec a bit and causing me grief fitting a steel grip. It's a personnel build so I'm not sweating it. Overall experience with L10 (before Rogue-No experience yet with them) was positive and easy. I would most likely order from them again. I'm almost positive they make them in-house and made to order. (I'm pretty sure I am going to order from them again soon) Currently I am waiting on a couple of frames from another company out of Arizona. I will say this: I ordered them on November 4th .. still not shipped and I am super frustrated. Communication has been so so and I never get a real answer; I'm just told soon. as of this writing they did send me a tracking number, however it's not even at FedEx to be shipped. So I have no idea what's going on. I left the name out because I don't want to start bad mouthing a company just yet. Times are pretty messed up, I get it, so I am being a little more forgiving these days. There is a company out there called Optimum manufacturing. It looks like they are job shop and have their own line of products. There stuff looks pretty good, but I don't know if they have a minimum quantity order. I'll probably reach out to them soon as they really peaked my interest. I can go on and on in regards to the parts etc. I will say this: You will enjoy building if you like to tinker etc. Have patience! Measure, measure and measure. It looks easy to build; but there are a lot of details that you need to pay attention to. Building and assembling are two completely different animals; don't confuse the two. Always use quality parts and you will have no regrets. There are tools you will need, but it sounds like you may have them already. If you go the 80% route you will need a mill, I guess that's obvious, however Matrix Precision sells a jig of sorts to cut the rails and drill I think the sear and hammer pin holes. To get a good look at this jig in action checkout Mosin Virus on YouTube. He has a nice series where he uses these jigs and walks you through a build he is doing. I hope this helps. I'm sure more seasoned builders than me will chime in. Good luck with the build. fell free to ask questions if need be. I'll do my best to answer them.
  10. I'm assuming this is a new issue after thousands of rounds through it with no issues? Generally speaking if the above statement was true, the first thing I'd look at is what has changed if anything. This can be anything; mags, mag components, new safety etc. If nothing has changed and this is out of the blue then I'd start looking at parts that can wear. Number one that I think of is possibly the barrel link pin is worn? Just my 2¢ Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
  11. Put of curiosity has Infinity seen this report? I just bought 2 barrels from them (9 and 38). I'm wondering what they say?
  12. Now if only I could shoot that fast in a match!!
  13. WOW, that's a pretty catastrophic failure. Fortunately I have not had this happen, but I do use both Infinity and Schuemann barrels So many questions; 1. What caliber? 38sc? 2. What was your load? 3. How's your hand!? 4. Was this from a squib with a followup round or just a single round failure? 5. How many rounds through it? I hope you're OK!
  14. I use the Binary Engine 3 port on my open gun. It took a little work, but I have a load dialed in that works for me. I like it.
  15. This looks like it may be for a Cheely E2 grip? Going by the recess cut in the front.
