I have a few of the curved CMC triggers but now that I have been using a Hiperfire Eclipse for the last year I can't go back to a CMC

I am not able to use the CMC flat triggers, my fingers are pretty crooked and my finger usually drags the bottom of the trigger guard and that forward facing point on the CMC trigger hits in the middle of the pad on my finger and is very uncomfortable to use.

You will need to clean more often. Clean the gas plug regularly along with the bolt and carrier and also the chamber locking lugs. An AR-10 chamber brush works pretty well for the chamber and locking lugs. From my experience you will want some spare firing pin springs. The extra cleaning is worth it to me over the AR9 for the way it shoots.

I'm loading 3.5 gr of BE-86, it runs clean and is a little slower powder than Tightgroup. I like the slower powder for coated bullets.

I have run a bunch of Ibejihead 124's through mine and they worked great. https://www.ibejiheads.com/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=36&osCsid=451a8cca1930511f9af3f665c21a4aa1

I have been running some 95 gr Ibejihead bullets through my Gen II MPX at 93 PF. The only changes I have made to the gun is a NLA charging handle and a Hiperfire Eclipse trigger.

Osage County Guns had one about a month ago so he snarfed it up.

I have an Eclipse in a Gen II as well but I have never handled the new Competition model that comes with a Timney so I don't know if there is something different about the newest model that would have a problem with a Hiperfire.

I have a friend with one of the newest MPX guns and he said that when he tried to put his new Hiperfire trigger in that the trigger pin would not line up for him so he put his Timney back in. He said he would try again tomorrow. Has anyone else tried a Hiperfire in one of the new guns?

If I had back all the time, money and ammo I blew trying to make my AR-9 as good as my MPX I could of had another MPX. Same thing here, if I had it do over I would have never looked at an AR-9, it initially looked to be the cheaper route, it wasn't.

The details are in the thread about an MBX barrel that got closed since it turned into a customer service discussion.

Better to learn by watching. Hand stops are good things.

Not in the same ballpark pressure wise but I can tell you that you don't want your fingers around a .223 comps side vents.

Another factor may be the reason for my long case life is that I size with a U die so the bullet is held tight and only crimp .001 to .0015 so I'm not working the case mouth much at all.

I'm at 12K through it now and it still runs everything. It even runs 93 PF 95 grain loads for steel as well as 124 grain loads at 145 PF. The trigger is the only thing I changed that could change cycling, I have a Hiperfire Eclipse. I do clean it very well every 1K or so including the gas system in an ultrasonic. The 308 AR chamber brush works well for cleaning out the crud in the locking lugs.

I would run a few thousand through it before making any changes. My gen II runs fine on 93 PF loads. I would take everything apart including the gas system and give it a good scrubbing out and try again. I run a medium powder, BE-86

This is the one that I was wondering how it would work without the table, seems like it would be a little tough working it out of a range bag. I have the LULA and it's great working out of a range bag.

How well is this going to work at the range with no table?

While shooting a Steel Challenge stage the RO comments "Man, that was a great reload"

I picked up a TTI for my MPX because there was no way that I was going to pay $120 for a printed magwell from the other guys.

Very much so for me, I pick up the green much quicker but then my eyes aren't what they used to be.

In all the years that I have shot and reloaded the same Starline 38 Short Colt brass I have never split a case. I'm wondering if you might be overworking the brass by belling it out a little too much. I adjust my press so that it only flares out the case mouth just enough to get the bullet in and seated without shaving any lead. It's possible that you got a bad batch but trying to consider other factors too. After Bayou changed their coating way back I started getting lead and coating streaks in my barrels, Donnie said he had to switch since he was having too hard a time with the supply of his old coating. I switched over to Ibejihead bullets and they have great accuracy and run clean. Alex at Ibejihead is a great guy and fills orders quickly. The bullets are also about 1 cent cheaper too. The prices listed on his web site include shipping. https://www.ibejiheads.com

Did you mean LS117G?

For sure. You would not want any reflex sight with an exposed emitter for a battle rifle, Snow, mud rain can really mess with the open types. I'm waiting for the new HE512 to come out which should be good competition for the Leupold LCO.

I tried another shooters MPX with a red MRO so I could compare it to my Holosun 510 Green. I'm cured of wanting to try an MRO. With my old eyes I can see so much better with the 510 and I love the green. I thought about an MRO in green but after using one in red I can tell I would go back to my 510 since it's much easier for me.
