I have shot this match a few times. My first PRS match a few months ago. Totally agree with Kuan. Great environment, everyone was helpful and patient. I shoot allot of 3 gun and other action shooting sports. So I am pretty understanding of guns and competition. Really recommend Triple C and this match.

Tooth and nail will have a mid barrel available shortly.

I tried a suppressor cover. Looked good, but started having feeding issues. Took it off, back to perfect function. I’m thinking that the cloth might have been pushing in the holes and dragging on the piston a little? Haven’t tried it since.

One of two things. Either a, you are lucky and got one of the ones with a bigger bore. Seems to be hit or miss. Or b, yours hasn’t built up the crud that will come. Mine probably has about 900 rounds through it. Shoots awesome. But there is a bit of crud in the comp. I’ve cleaned it out very well, and the tool will work for a little while, then eventually it unscrews, but the choke just won’t go through.

The long choke remover does not always work well. Not an issue with the tool. Rather the crud that builds up in the comp does not allow it to be pulled out. I think the comps, at least mine, need to be reamed out a bit more.

Be careful w the locktite. Even with an extended choke wrench, it can be hard to impossible to change chokes with the comps in place. Can't speak for the shorty, but on the long comp, carbon and wad residue builds up just enough so that the choke pulls off the extended wrench and you can't change chokes without taking comp off. Needs to be reamed out just a bit more.

On gas operated rifles, shotguns and pistols, the gas to cycle the gun typically comes from the area close to the breach. So, muzzle treatments, except for suppressors, have little or no effect on the actual cycling of the gun. They do affect the recoil in various ways, some devices more effective than others, but in general, muzzle and mid barrel comps should not have a big effect on the function of a semi automatic gun.

Never said the porting doesn’t make it shoot softer. What I said was that the gas system has used what it needs before the wad and shot get to the ports.

By the time the shot and wad get to the port holes, the gas has already done its magic.

If you want a hunting gun, shooting magnum loads. Go with a gas gun. If you just want a low brass dove gun, the Browning will be great. But, you put some high brass or magnum loads in it and it will rock your world. Carry a small plastic bag for your teeth and fillings.

Replace the mag spring every few months, or prior to every major match. Especially if you have a tube extension. The spring wears out and they are cheap to replace. Start there, everything else will follow.

1oz, 1600 fps. "Barely kick" Hmmmm. Compare to;.. 7/8 oz at 1300 fps or 1 oz at 1150 fps. Can't beat physics.

It’s basically an ar trigger. Diff dimensions, but same setup. Google or YouTube are your friend.

I put one on a 9mm sti edge to play with. Works well, will take some time to get used to because of the height of the site. I put a Burris fast fire II on mine. Works ok, haven’t tried it in a match yet. Shoots and points fine though. Can’t really tell, from a weight or balance perspective that it is there. Good luck.

pics?

there have been quite a few people that could not get the ilwt barrels from taccom to work properly. same symptoms you describe.

Go choke yourself and quit stalking my posts. One typo and you loose your mind. I am sure you never mess anything up with your pompass attitude.

While i see ammo fails fairly often at matches, the one that fails most, outside of personal reloads, if Freedom. I wouldn't shoot it at a major if they gave it to me. Too much invested in a match to have it all go to crap over case separation, fail to fire or other freedom silliness.

Too bad it is totally incorrect. Perhaps you should read the rest of the post.

"Be aware that nothing is gained by using a compensator on an AR9. There just isn't enough gas left over to make them work, especially if you use a fast powder." Nothing could be further from the truth. How about you volunteer to wrap your hand around my MBX comp while I run a few rounds through it?

Nothing in PCC is beyond doubt. There are different tolerances for each part provider. To "guarantee" that a gun built from your list will work and will win is not realistic. PCC's can be finicky, nothing about them is guaranteed.

Might as well get some popcorn and settle in. We will now hear how this part is better and my part is lighter and your part is uglier. It will continue for quite awhile. The thing about PCC's is that there are hundreds of products out there, with varying levels of effectiveness, and thousands of combinations. That is the fun part. There is no ONE way to do it. Something that might work for me, may not work well for you at all. The post should be entertaining anyway

Bad idea to put any coated or plated bullets through an MPX. Gunks up the piston and rings. Only use fmj. Especially if you open up the gas ports.

I have Ace's on my main match and backup guns, but really like the Odin Works Zulu 2.0. If given a chance, I might try one out.
