  1. Thanks for your help guys!! Also do either one of you know how far I can expect to see a target with either flashlight. The range I'm visiting may have targets out to 200 yards.

    also just ordered vikings light mount, thanks for the tip

    2 lumens per a foot is about right I guess.... Practically I know that I have engaged full size USPSA targets at 200 yards with a Vortex viper PST 1-4 (illumination at 6-8) and a NITECORE P12 at high pretty easily in pitch black range conditions.

    Thanks for this info.

  2. I flare mine in also and angle front to back. Twins or Quads, with proper technique does not need to be deep at all. Sometimes the software solution is better than the hardware solution.

    respectfully I disagree, when I opened my loading port I started off "safe" then as i got faster I opened the port some more.......then I got faster so I opened the port some more. The reason I go so deep on the left side is so I can keep my thumb behind the shell more without my thumb slipping off. I also want to mention what works for me may not work for you.... I find that with Pats port that 45 is not friendly to the human hand and that's why I rounded off and smoothed it all out.If you disagree read prior comment. Cheers
  3. It actually looks like you may be outrunning the mag? Maybe it is my eyes but it look like the bolt cycles fully and just gets ahead of the mag. Did you dry a fresh mag or mag spring? Also maybe REDUCE the gas and see what happens?

    yes I have tried a new mag but not a heavy buffer, in that video I have a empty carbine buffer and have also tried a standard carbine buffer same result
  4. If you need more gas with the heavier carrier than with the light one, it generally means you are slightly oversprung for the lightweight carrier. While you can increase the gas, reducing the spring preload or spring weight will fix the issue and make the rifle shoot softer. The limitation is of course when it won't strip rounds out of the mag. If you shorten your carbine spring a couple of coils it will run, or you can get a reduced power carbine spring or the JP SCS (the black spring that comes std on the SCS is lighter than std carbine and is tuned for a LMOS BCG.)

    Carbine length springs vary all over the place in spring rate and length and the TTI is on the stiff side for a carbine and runs fine in rifle length tubes (1" less preload). I have run my VooDoo LMOS BCG with rifle length tubes mostly, with both a JP SCS (std black spring) and a JP LMOS buffer and TTI spring. It runs at exactly the same gas setting as my Youngs SLC BCG carrier.

    Hope that helps you out :cheers:

    Thanks for this info, I'm going to change out my gas block, make sure every thing is lined up correctly and then begin to mess with the buffer spring one coil at a time. Thanks everyone for your input.I'm uploading a youtube video that I recorded the rifle in action in slo mo . Tell me what you guys think.

    also went ahead and took off my handguard take a look at the gas block

  5. My VooDoo needs more gas to run than a full mass carrier.

    Well couldn't get the Voodoo carrier to run, changed out the bolt with my spikes and no success. Mark your comment confuses me because logically if there is enough gas to move a heavier bolt one would think there should be enough gas to move a lighter bolt. The only thing that makes sense to me is that if the voodoo unlocks to quickly, and comes off the gas tube too quick the gas key may not stay in place long enough to take in the gas it needs for it too cycle. Please elaborate.

  6. On my current 3 Gun Rifle I am trying my hardest to get my Nordic Barrel to cycle my low mass carrier. Gun is set up as follows

    Non adjustable Gas block, EMPTY Carbine Buffer, TTI Buffer Spring ,Rifle length gas System.

    I also have tried Carbine Buffer and Carbine Buffer Spring also with no success.

    The gun is short stroking and not sure how to fix it besides drill the gas port and run a adjustable gas block.

    Gun will run 100 % with a carbine buffer and spikes bcg.... I know, I know but I want to run the low mass carrier.

    Any advice would be appreciated. I will attach a pic of my rifle possibly even a video in slo mo.

  7. yes that is what I used and for the dowel... get a screw and screw it into the center of the end of the dowel with the screw still sticking out. Then get a drill and tigthen it around the screw so all you have to do is hold sand paper and activate the drill to spin the dowel to get the diameter slightly smaller than a 12 gauge shell.
