    Charlie,  very good overall advice.  Just a couple things.  I don't think failure of this test is conclusive evidence of a poorly fit/timed barrel.  Schuemann covers in their timing document how a perfectly timed gun can fail this test.  http://www.schuemann.com/Portals/0/Documentation/webfile_1911_Timing.pdf

     

    Also, a poorly timed barrel isn't actually bottoming on the link.  At least, not just the link, it's still bottoming on the frame just at the wrong spot.  Check the measurements and you'll see that unless a gun is crazy (I mean crazy) out of spec, it's not possible for the barrel to travel such that the link goes 'parallel' and arrests the rearward travel.  I'm not sure this is what you're saying, but 'bottoming on the link' kind of makes it sound like it.  What happens is the barrel contacts the top of the frame at the rails which stops the downward travel, which then stresses the link as it's the only thing there to stop the rearward component of the barrel's inertia.  If a barrel is known to be contacting the VIS and the clearance between the top of the barrel and slide is proper you're good to go even if it fails the simple test.

     

    Excellent document from Schuemann.  Thanks for sharing!!!

    38SC feeds better, doesn't jam! This is Fake News!!! I will say I do think SC is a little flatter and softer, but I don't buy all this other stuff. I shot open for 2 years both of my guns were 9 Major and I had  jams two times in 2 years and both times it was my fault for not changing mag springs, I let the springs go longer than I should have. Both of my guns were cleaned after each match and new springs a couple times a year. I personally don't care what anyone else shoots but I keep hearing a lot of bad information about what 9 major can't do like run reliably.

    Why would anyone believe what a S&W Open shooter would say🤔🤣

     

    Those 9mm case head separations are neat.

    the mag catch is the same shape on both sides (after installing the button) and the mags have notches in both sides.  Essentially works the same way a glock mag release flips, to my knowledge.  I never swapped mine around.

    The SVI mag release is different for the left side and right side.  Totally different parts and mag buttons.

    Out of curiousity, how is the consistency in your rounds recoil wise ? Or better put, do you occasionally weight the powder charge as you go ?

     

    The reason I ask is physics. My experience has been that flaky shotgun powders, ( Clays, Clay dot, Unique) load great in shotgun weights, 17-19gr. In small quantities they get hinky because of the lack of mass.

     

    Clays is pretty decent, I have loaded it in handgun loads for years. I loaded some .40S&W with 700X once for someone and it sucked ass at best ! Never tried Clay Dot for handgun, only trap loads .

    Definitely not an easy powder to meter.  I have a Hornady LNL and their powder drop is one of the better designs on the market.  Actually chrono'ed today.  5 shots Avg. Vel was 1010 fps the extreme spread was 42 fps.  

  5. An A2 flash hider with the bottom 3 ports welded up and a washer welded on the end!!!  Works like a charm.  Probably a thread saver would work just as well?

     

    I suspect most comps on PCCs don't do much unless you use very slow burning powder and with a blowback design just as much gas is escaping out the bolt if not more than is going through the comp.  I would like to see some super slow motion video.

  6. Unless you buy missionary mikes "not so used" 5.4 SVI. 

     

    If you are dead set on a 5.4 I would go with a short dust cover or atleast a butler cut.  That will help keep it from being a nose heavy gun.

    Definitely go with AET sight tracker. 

    SV has lots of grip options.  I prefer the IC(smallest diam grip) with agressive micropocket.

     

    Like others have said get a used pistol so the wait doesn't kill you.  You can keep it for a backup pistol.

    Not much good using photos from inside.

     

    Take them outside and point them at something in the sunlight.

     

     

    All on highest setting and brand new battery!
