Depending on its intended use, you may want to experiment with placement. If you aren't using a magnifier and are typically shooting in a competition environment with targets that aren't too far off (lets say 200 and closer), you should give it a try mounted farther to the rear, just in front of the charging handle. It sounds a little hokey but theres a difference in the dot movement you see with it mounted farther back on the rifle.

My experience has been that you can definitely wet tumble without pins but to produce the cleanest and best looking brass you need to use pins. Not saying you have to BUT there is a difference.

You could be on to something. I have never ran mine at full speed but I may tinker around a bit this weekend and see what the difference is at various speeds. Kinda makes sense that when you run it wide open it doesn't give things time to fall into place.

I run a KAK adaptor with a standard tube. Gotta run a riser on the stock to get a good cheek weld for these particular sights.
-
Never had a problem with mine keeping up and I run the bulletfeeder at about half speed. Do you have the speed ran up and not at the slowest setting?
When I set mine up I filled it up with bullets, climbed up on the bench and let it run while I watched and adjusted accordingly. It shouldn't be going that far in between catching bullets so my quess would be that it just needs some fine tuning OR you are running it too slow to keep up with the autodrive. Two questions:
What caliber are you using and do you have the feeder pretty full when this problem is happening?

These guys build some nice stuff........give them a look:

I still say this is the best all around shoe for our games. I think most folks get them confused with the speedcross but take a look and see what the soles have to offer........

Don_B is right, It will not fit the Versamax. Not sure if you have looked at the Arredondo site but they do offer one that fits the Versamax. The pin pattern would be totally different from the 1100 to the versamax with the versamax being more similar to a benelli M1/M2.

This is fairly informative as fas as telling how to differentiate the gen 1 and gen 2.

I run the JP 45 degree offset on both of my MPXs and it is rock solid and easy to zero:

I think they are beneficial also. I believe you may have to experiment a little to find the one that fits you best. I tried all kinds before I settled on anything. You may find that the placement of one is way different from another. I always noticed on a couple that I tried and some that other guys use that it literally causes my hand to lose contact with certain parts of the grip like you mentioned experiencing. I prefer on that sits a little lower and not as far forward.......those were the ones that got my grip a little screwed up.
-
Cant hurt. Those parts are relatively cheap and I've seen a few guys with broken firing pins. Do you take the barrel down and clean the piston and the chamber it resides in? I do that with mine every once in a while so if you haven't you may find a lot of fouling and carbon build up in there. I actually clean mine with a wire brush on a dremel.
-
I'm gonna say that the impulse may be a little different but not terribly different. If both barrels are pretty close in weight and the brake and gas adjustment is similar you won't notice much difference.
-
A reputable builder told me years ago that shooting an open gun with anything other than a jacketed bullet would be the equivalent of putting pump gas in a top fuel dragster. Sure plated bullets are a little cheaper than jacketed but if you figured up the cost difference annually it is relatively small in the big scheme of things. Go with a decent jacketed bullet and avoid potential problems that could arise from using anything else.

Found this in the shipping and returns section of their site. You might give it a try and see if you get an answer

I have mags set up with both manufacturers pads you mention. Both work flawlessly and I would say you cant go wrong with either. I have only used factory glock bodies so I have no idea how good/bad the ETS is. The oal on jhps is 1.140......seems to be a pretty standard oal that you see a lot of guys running.

+1 on the saloman speedspikes. Been wearing those for years and they are great for everything EXCEPT concrete. I'd say they are better on wood or any slick surface that is soft enough for the "spikes" to dig in than a normal trail shoe or boot.
-
I've been running TTI internals and basepads with SV tubes for years in both 40 and 9/38 with much success. My guess would be that there is an issue dimensionally with that particular tube. Did you only experience that problem with one tube? Just curious if it was with only the one tube which was an STI correct? Also, was that tube the "old" style or new?

I wonder what the deal is with the JP and my pistol load then. Like i said, i am only running 2.9 grains of TG with a 147 grain blue bullet and that load is perfect out of the G34 giving me 130pf, but when i try to run it in the PCC is acts very sluggish and unreliable. Maybe you are running ok with the 124s having more powder, I am guessing.
When this whole pcc thing started up I spent a lot of time testing differen bullets and was mostly looking for something with decent accuracy out to 100 yards. At that time I had no plans to shoot uspsa and was going to shoot a few "outlaw" style matches. I tested everything from a 95 grain at 1800fps to a 165 at 850 fps. What I ultimately found was that the 124 seemed to be most accurate AND reliable. I tried a few different powders (320, 3n38, 7625 and tight group) and honestly there wasn't much difference in the faster burning of that bunch. Had plenty Tightgroup on hand so went with that.

Good call. I thought for sure when I was getting mine together that I had enough slope and water had a good path to drain off BUT of course that wasn't the case.
-
One thing I'll mention that you may want to consider (and it may be late for this) is drainage. My range drains pretty well BUT there have been two occasions where it rained so hard and put down so much water that I literally had walls and stands washed completely out of the bay. I have a small building that was flooded and of course my paper targets weren't high enough and they all got trashed.
-
I just looked on the dawson site and I didn't see any basepads for promos mags. You might try giving them a call and see if they have something that works. I definitely don't know BUT the ones that fit metal form mags may fit. I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.
-
Yeah, if you have the gap insert I don't have much to offer. I thought maybe that was the problem.
Thumb rest on open guns, experiences....

I'd say give it a try. Some guys love them and some guys don't. A matter of personal preference. Always easy to take it off if you don't like it.
My personal experience is that I prefer them and would say there are no cons to using one.
