Did you take off the dawson sights?

Apparently, you are correct: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_5_36/143721_.html

I've a cr speed belt, and it works well with the LHS holster.

One down; I plan to hang on to the other one.

I've got two stock 2s, and a little dude on the way. Looking at getting rid of at least one of them for that reason. One of the two has Bodkin's magic on it. Pm me if you're interested/serious.

Mine has a copper brush, a nylon brush, and I use the cotton one to leave a thin layer of oil in the barrel.

I came across a bag of lots of extra springs and parts. I plan to try reducing the coil diameter on the springs as well as clipping off coils to see if I like the result.

I have the plain irons, and they also have a gap.

Because it's fun to tinker with things.

I use mostly 147gr TC at 1.145-1.150". You definitely seem to have a short leade on your barrel.

Are you using a 6'oclock hold or covering the target? I've had the same issue with the factory sights on one as well. Shot way low even when I held the sights to cover the target. Also had to crank the rear sight blade significantly to the side.

Gotcha. I have loaded 160 gr .356" lead round nose at 1.166" with no trouble. Based on my results from the drop test, I could load even longer, but that mags couldn't handle it. Have you tried finding the maximum overall length for your chamber with the bullet you're loading by using a fired case?

Also, my 147 and 124gr rounds feed better at 1.14-1.150"

As in, parallel with the chamber/barrel axis, or as in, the round's nose is stuck against the top of the chamber at an angle?

Can you elaborate on the "not chambering correctly" part?
