I'm curious about the shim as well. My 2A upper is a little loose as well. Not sure it matters as long as the barrel nut is tight though.
I gave up on the 16.5" barrel and bought a lightweight 16" mid gas DD. Gave up 0.2lbs, but works much better.

old thread revival...
I just put a 24C in a lower that had a SD3G and before that had a CMC flat. It feels a little weird... the safety is much harder to disengage now than is was with any of the other triggers. When I set the hammer with the lower off the gun the hammer didn't want to move when I pulled the trigger. I had to kind of pry it up to get it moving. With the hammer cocked it feels like the hammer spring has almost no influence on the hammer. Once it starts moving the 2 coil springs get it going but I am not feeling good about this. I put one in a friends gun a couple of weeks ago and I don't remember any of this happening...
Mine felt similar to what you describe when it was new. I went out and shot it and had zero issues. I've shot two matches now without a problem and numerous rounds at the range.

This was my 1st Pro/Am and 2nd 3-Gun event. I had a blast and can not wait for the next one.

I am getting to the point where I'm thinking of getting another barrel. I'm not convinced this 16.5" barrel can work.
Shot mine at the 3GN Regional last weekend and it worked great. I only shot 69gr SMK handloads tho. It doesnt do as well with 55gr after playing with it before leaving for the match tho.
55 gr is all I have tried so far.
55's wouldn't lock back for me and i would have had to open the gas setting further to make it work. I'm also running an RCA LW BCG and Taccom ULW buffer system too. 69gr ammo going 2666fps makes the gun run like a top and recoil is soft.
Will you be at Rockcastle?

I have been working with VooDoo and hope to get everything sorted out. While I am frustrated, their customer service has been top notch so far. I just hope it leads to some results soon.

Which gas block are you using, Hunter? Do all gas blocks have the same size hole for the gas port? Maybe some are larger than others, so on those you would be able to run the block all the way down to the shoulder and still cover the whole port?

I bought a set of the plastic pins like listed above. My gas block seems to work all the way against the flange. I have not yet made it to the rage though. Will head that way in an hour.

My barrel flexes, but maybe not as much as you suggest yours does.
I have only been to the range once with mine and had the same problems with not locking back. I also have the Voodoo bolt. I have discovered that the bolt is very tight in the carrier. I have another BCG I am going to try later today. My fingers are crossed.

Hunter660, the barrel is not dimpled, I couldn't find a shop to pin the sight block on the barrel due to it being melonited, so I had to use a clamp on fsb. It is .750"
Thanks As soon as I get a shipping confirmation on my barrel I'll order a gas block.

How is the barrel setup for a gas block? I know it is 0.75", but is the barrel dimpled or do I have to use a clamp on?

So you just bought shim stock, cut it to length, and wrapped it around the barrel extension?
