Their website says it includes "hammer, trigger and disconnector" and that everything is USA made. That would lead me to believe they are aftermarket parts not just some springs on RIA triggers. I have never dealt with them so I don't know if they push the limits of advertising or not.

Yes, mine seems to get better the more I shoot it. I ran about 70 old corroded high base 6's through it and had a few that didn't eject and one jam that locked everything up to where I could hardly get the mag out. So for right out of the box with less than stellar ammo I was optimistic. Then I ran 10rds of 3" #2's, had one jam and my shoulder had had enough. Took it home swapped out the stock with a magpul and JP grip, mounted a dot on it. Cleaned it real good, put in the light load gas piston. Went to the range today and it ran two boxes of Walmart Fed. bulk pack stuff at 1200 fps through it with no issues using both the 5 & 9 round mags. My 19 rounders and a muzzle break are on order. Let the fun begin!

Thanks

I could use that, can you provide contact info? Just got my Taccom buffer in the mail today and the new tube and spring should arrive Monday.

So I pulled the gas system apart to clean and then replace the gas piston to try some lighter loads. When I looked at the exploded parts diagram to make sure I had things correct, I noticed the drawing shows a sealing ring and a gas block o-ring. My gun didn't have either of these parts. So is there a design change or did mine come missing parts? It actually functioned pretty well for the first run. I was using Win. Super-X high base 6's and only had a few issues. After about 75 rds it was running great with the 5 & 9 rd. mags.

Thanks

The first thing I did after shooting a mag though mine was rotated the opposite side safety lever 180 deg. It ripped a bloody hole on the side of my trigger finger after 9 rounds. I’m going to grind it off later tonight.

What stock is that?

I didn't want him to get a big head lol.

Where did you get your long loaded 147gr.? I won a gift certificate from Peak Performance Ammo at the Berry's Steel Open. Thinking about trying their "long loaded" stuff.

I saw that article, read it just a few days ago. I was thinking maybe they had some kind of typo on the velocity.

The TK Double-Kross mags are helpful in getting them to drop if you only use the one side. The loaded side below is heavier and will help it drop out easier.

I have a Techwell on my PSA lower and it has been great.

Another vote for the Pocket Pro II. Be sure and set the sensitivity towards the "cowboy" end of the range and you'll be fine.

This is true. Also, I don't find much recoil difference from my major loads and minor Steel loads. They certainly feel different, but not to the point of being painful.

Another vote for the Armageddon sling. You might not use it a whole lot, but when you do need one you want it to work well and adjust easily.

I don't shoot irons much anymore as my eyes aren't what they use to be, but when I do, I go "Old School" with my Volquartsen Lightweight Mark III.

I have a friend who's a sponsored steel shooter. He just got one a little while ago and seems to really like it. He's on Facebook and I am sure he would be glad to give you some feedback and answer any questions if you contact him there. His name is Trenton Mitsuoka, super nice guy.

I have several of the older ones and have had zero issues. Just picked up 2 of the newest ones. I've only run maybe 500 rds. through them but so far they run great.

I run one of John Allchin's comps and they work great for the issue you are posting about. I mounted it with the ports pointed to the sides of the barrel. One important thing to remember is to remove your comp now and then and clean the muzzle crown. When we had the 22 ammo shortage I ran a lot of non-plated lead ammo and the crown got enough build up on it to deflect a bullet. The exit hole on my comp now looks like a figure eight.

LAX Ammunition is have a $15 lower receiver sale starting at noon Pacific Time today.

The Hi-Viz magnetic one is a channel shape that goes over the rib. There's no way it's rotating. I've had it 3 yrs. and shot hundreds of rounds, birdshot, buckshot and slugs, hasn't come off yet.

You are correct. The Brimstone and Kidd top end triggers are more geared to benchrest shooting or silhouettes shot offhand. For the steel game I believe they are a bit too light and could result in some AD's if you're not real careful.

I run a FF3 on my Open Class 3Gun pistol. It has held up very well and as Kixx pointed out, the window size really becomes irrelevant if you practice enough with it and the dot is in the right place when you bring the gun up.
