Was your shooting with the stock spring or something lighter?

Maybe this has already been answered somewhere, I just couldn't find anything too definitive. I have a SP01 MS that I'm going to experiment with a 11/12 lb recoil spring, and was wondering if a buffer is the way to go for something like long term frame health. I was also wondering if the stock delrin guide rod can be used and what kind of buffers to use and where to get them. Thanks

Got a couple of Velocity 3 lbs. with the the straight trigger...like them a lot. Crisp with a short reset. Got them at AIM Surplus on sale.

I have a Sp 01 I've installed a CGW SAO trigger, race hammer and sear. I've removed the disc. I left the FPB in. I'm not too pleased with the take up and reset and I can only take so much out of the take up with the trigger screw before it won't fire. Is the issue with the take up and reset related to keeping the FPB in place or is there something else going on? I have read some of the different threads but it wasn't clear to me. With this set up the trigger breaks right at 3 lbs.

I used a lot of AA #5. Never noticed much smoke. If it helps, I loaded 5.4 grs behind a Bayou 124 gr rn. I got about 1030 fps out of a 4.25 Smith M & P.

I'll definitely be looking at that screw and the tightness of the adapter also.

I'm thinking you and 3gunnuts are most likely correct. I'll need to do a bit of experimenting. Thanks.

The empty isn't in the chamber, its extracted but isn't ejected. Its sitting between the bolt face and the chamber. I t then causes a FF malfunction. Adjusting the ejector didn't fix it. But changing the trigger springs did.

The carbine has a Hyperfire 24C trigger, Taccom upper, and a Stern lower conversion kit, with a Taccom recoil spring and buffer.. The malfunction is a intermittent (but fails often) fail to eject (empty stays in the chamber area. The change that fixed this is putting the heavier springs in the Hyperfire 24C . Works great now. Why is this? What do these springs in the trigger have to do with a FE problem? I'm Baffled.

Looks to be well over 100'. Maybe 115-120'. It's bizarre, even on their own website it says 56'. You would think after all this time they would fix the typo. 56' would be a huge turn off to purchase.

Thanks

Who makes that stock?

I bought one and never got to use it. When I was tightening it down the end of the lever where the screw, screws into broke off. Of course I might have done something wrong, by over tightening it......but there seems to be a less than forgiving quality about the lever concerning tightening. I might try to get a new one, but you have to take a picture of it and send that in before anything happens one way or the other. The whole thing seems like a hassle, I'll probably just eat the $20.

My son picked up a Stoeger M3k for $599 new. We put over a 100 rds of Walmart Federal and some slugs through it with a TACCOM tube. Worked perfectly. Of course it needs sights, a decent recoil pad and a few other things, but what SG doesn't. Overall, he was quite pleased.
