Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Would love to see a pic!
  2. So, did you ever get your ultimate CCP blaster?
  3. Any suggestions for a tight fitting adjustable carbine stock that won’t snatch my beard hairs out?? I currently have Magpul MOE and CTR on various builds. I use 1.93 optic height and would prefer a bit better cheek weld. Thanks!!
  4. I snagged a .30 carbine powder funnel from Dillon and actually found a jug of 1680 locally at a decent price. I’m trying to find a suitable overall length and charge to start with. I’m not sure what bullet the Blue Bullets compare most closely to.
  5. I used to toy with the idea of 113mm mags in an STI for a IDPA CCP gun but never did follow through with it. After I got a C2 I fell in love with the grip size and magwell and just decided to run it in ESP. That being said, I believe it is possible to make it work. Worst case scenario is you ruin the original grip and then reward yourself with an expensive but awesome SVI grip. ……or add up the cost of all the parts, finishing, your time/labor and then compare it to a factory SVI build. Another member of this forum did this and ended up ordering from SVI.
  6. I’ve been loading blue bullets in 9mm and 40 for years but have recently decided to give rifle caliber reloading a try. I always thought it would make sense for B.B. to make a subsonic blackout projectile because of their success with pistol bullets and the rise in 300 blackout’s popularity. Well it came to my attention recently that they are now doing a 220gr 30 caliber bullet. This has convinced me that now is the time to jump into reloading for the blackout. Given that I have zero experience loading rifle calibers I have decided to check with the fine folks of the Enos forums for a little guidance. Is anyone here loading with this bullet? My goal is to make a plinking round for a suppressed Sig Rattler and Q Sugar Weasel. Any load data, tips or tricks with this endeavor would be greatly appreciated!! So far I have procured a set of Hornady dies, Winchester #41 primers, Everglades converted brass and some H110 powder. I’m loading on a Dillon 550. Thanks in advance!!!
  7. If I’m not mistaken, the height is problematic. I used to have an X9 that would have required shaving the mag base plates and lowering the rear sight to fit. I would assume the SFT would have the same problem. Length may also be a factor but I have no experience with the SFT to confirm that.
  8. Well, if you think about it, they retain value well on the secondary market and cost more than my first couple of cars put together.
  9. I hear ya! If I were shooting a major match I would probably plan accordingly, but crashing a stage at my local doesn’t really bother me too much. Until it happens, then forget everything I just said while I wait for new parts to arrive….
  10. Not really. I can get my fingertips on it but I definitely wouldn’t consider it to be a sure purchase. That being said, I’ve never found myself in need of stripping a jammed mag from an aluminum grip. I have experienced a jam during mag insertion, but if properly fit, I have never had one not drop free. Jamming a mag on insertion is a whole other animal!!
  11. I ended up modifying the Staccato aluminum base pads instead of ordering the Dawson’s. It took a little bit of filing on the front outer edges to get the mags to seat, but nothing drastic.
  12. Noice!! Be sure to post pics!!
  13. So are you going with an Infinity build?
  14. Just to update: I received the Cheely IDPA magwell yesterday and tried a few different base pads I had on hand. Of course, the stock plastic STI pads work fine. The Taran Tactical/Atlas Gunworks pads (with the push pin in front) work as well. I even found some older Dawson +0 pads that work. The new aluminum Staccato plate won’t work without some filing of the front lip. Only the low profile pads will fit the 6” max height restriction for IDPA though. I think I’ll order some of the Dawson angled pads to try.
